It's not certain the note is genuine. But we can probably rule out fireworks

I like the immediate assumption that A) it's terrorism and B) it's an immigrant. Always happens.
I tend to go with "probably terrorism, could be homegrown, could be from elsewhere, best wait until the facts come in before running my mouth off though, sensible"
Best of luck to the injured player, here's to a speedy recovery.

That's the spirit, instead of praising the people of Dortmund for their sporting offer make a bloody stupid comment
Accurate though.

Sky reporting that an Islamist has been arrested. Not that it means anything, after all they arrested loads of people after Westminster and let them all go .

Accurate to some, maybe.

All credit to the Dortmund fans . They showed a real spirit of humanity . Too many people are quick to slam these days as "terrible " and say that folk are not what they used to be....football fans in particular get a lot of stick. Moments like this shows that the human spirit triumphs over evil.
Hats off to Dortmund..

Interesting bit in the Wikipedia article for Islamism which pertains to the use of the word 'Islamist' by the Associated Press:
The Council on American–Islamic Relations complained in 2013 that the Associated Press's definition of "Islamist"—a "supporter of government in accord with the laws of Islam [and] who view the Quran as a political model"—had become a pejorative shorthand for "Muslims we don't like."
The AP Stylebook entry for Islamist now reads as follows:
"An advocate or supporter of a political movement that favors reordering government and society in accordance with laws prescribed by Islam. Do not use as a synonym for Islamic fighters, militants, extremists or radicals, who may or may not be Islamists. Where possible, be specific and use the name of militant affiliations: al-Qaida-linked, Hezbollah, Taliban, etc. Those who view the Quran as a political model encompass a wide range of Muslims, from mainstream politicians to militants known as jihadi."
Not having a dig, just looked it up after reading your post and thought it'd be interesting.

Just to be clear, you're just referring to the ones who blow people up, yes? Not everyone who follows Islam?
Because, in the case of the former, I absolutely agree.

Dortmund currently 2-0 down at home to Monaco. The French side have also missed a penalty.
This game should never have been played while one of Dortmund's footballers is still in hospital. They look as though they're suffering from PTS. Shame on UEFA for making them play so soon after last night's incident.

I find it hard to believe the club were forced to play the game. I imagine they were consulted.

With possible sanctions that they may have to forfeit the tie if it wasn't played this week. UEFA want everything done their way. Not much compassion shown by them. Dortmund were heavy favourites to go through. I can see Monaco putting the tie out of reach in the second half.
I find it hard to believe. Had they been forced to play the game but didn't want to they'd have slipped it into the public domain; the sheer weight of public support would have crushed any UEFA resistance .
