Where a **** would be given
Me, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one. -
I didn't watch the game, but just saw about how empty the ground got in the second half. I imagine alot of the Qatari’s are just there because it's a big event in the country and not because they like football. One of the big things for me about teams hosting the World Cup is the passion and atmosphere that the home fans create no matter how well or badly their team do on the pitch. That seems to be something that is missing here based on what I saw. For me that is a big thing, I know you could argue you don't just want to host the WC where there is a massive passion for the game, FIFA want to grow the game etc, but surely there are enough countries in the world who if they were lucky enough to host a WC would show some interest and get behind their own side even if they are ****.Last edited by Exiled_red; 21-11-22, 10:26 AM.The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

Our captains might not be wearing them as FIFA's paymasters don't like it. But we will take a knee.
Every day just seems to bring yet another broken promise by the joke host country and the joke football organisation that is supposedly running the WC.
When Infantino came out with his European comments, that should have been the cue for all the European countries to pull out of the tournament enmasse and tell FIFA that if they wanted to sanction them that they wil stay out of any FIFA competitions in the future.
Not a hope FIFA would go after all the European big guns if they were acting together.
Just wait until Suadi get a world cup in 2030 or 2034 and the same **** can start again and probably the same calls for a winter WC.I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.

Was anyone expecting anything different, FIFA have had months to sort this out, the armband has been discussed for months. They have adopted the same tactics as Qatar did with the beer, leave it to the last minute and then no discussions or negotiations can take place. FIFA are spineless in standing up to Qatar and morally bankruptThe only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

Although props to the Iranian dude who came out supporting the women in Iran.Last edited by Charly; 21-11-22, 12:25 PM.In the beginning, Fowler created the Heaven and the Earth.Comment

Would be just me. Nev, also known in these parts as Birdy, (on the left of the pic as you look at it), will not be joining me and Perkins I made Scottish last week so he is out.
Not sure about the rest of the Irish on here. Frank The Tank, Piggy, Angry Red or is it Brightred or maybe both ending in red are Irish.I love SarahComment

If the players really wanted to make a statement gesture then they could do a group goal celebration similar to the gazza dentist chair.
This time it would be a player being held down on his knees and the goal scorer walking up with a pretend sword and beheading him.
Too subtle, but will certainly get the message out there, and I doubt fifa could do **** all about it.removing all the weak links makes us stronger
