The Munich mayor, Dieter Reiter, has spoken out on the Uefa rainbow lights ban at the Allianz Arena: “I find it shameful that Uefa forbids us to send a message here in Munich for openness, tolerance, respect and solidarity with the LGBTQI + community,” he said in a statement.
“I am also very disappointed that the DFB (the German
Football federation), despite the unbelievably clear positioning here in Munich, in Bavaria and also in
Germany, has not achieved or wanted to achieve anything. The alternative suggestion of illuminating the Allianz Arena on another day contradicts any message that is supposed to emanate from rainbow lighting.” 3.03pm BST
“Are you able to please explain why the two
England players are out tonight for chatting to Gilmour in the tunnel,” asks Lyn Eyb (and 1,057 others), “yet the entire
Scotland team is not only not in isolation but also able to play? Has any guidance on the method/madness been provided?Obviously it’s great for Scotland, but I’m just trying to get my head around how the Scotland team hasn’t had similar (or more) contact if they have been training (and sharing hotels, meals, etc) with him.”
It’s seemingly to do with the nature of Gilmour’s contact with Mount and Chilwell, which was indoors, in a lengthy conversation after the game, rather than all those sweaty, closer but briefer encounters in Wembley’s wide open spaces. “These factors were more relevant and concerning to PHE than photos of Mount and Chilwell embracing Gilmour on the pitch at full-time,” according to a report in the Independent.
