  • To be fair, it's time to be selfish.   Forget the developing nations, they are nowt to do with us and we gain nowt by helping them.   Leave the footballing politics aside - we're not cut out for

    It's got nothing to do with Panorama. Russia and Qatar had it sown up long ago. Today's circus was all about massaging Blatter's ego. If the FA want to do something useful, they should push to get rid

    Surely no one is surprised? An absolute stich up months ago.   Normally wouldnt given our press the time of day, but right behind them on this one. If the "no" votes for us were because of FIFA

I am yet to have anyone explain to me why the Panorama investigation had a negative impact on the England bid specifically. Did it show F.A officials being bribed, or offering bribes?

 

You're all fucking mad.

 

 

It showed one fella to be a right dodgy git, well this dodgy git had potentially 3/4 Votes heading to England......the only explanation that we went out in the first round, was his 3/4 votes going elsewhere.

 

Either that, or we never really had a chance, and the British media over-hyped it, like they do with everything.

Going to be a real boost for them in the Gulf.

 

and they deserve it for what they've given to world football

 

time to give something back

The British media should really go for em now.

 

Dig up as much sh?te as they can. Feck, even make some up.

 

Might as well

Beckham would go up in my estimation if he comes out now and says....

 

'Its fucking bent' Live on Sky

 

Then he deserves a knighthood.

And another thing - Qatar is smaller than Yorsshire. Bit warmer.

Should be ok in 2030, we then will be a Muslim state. Thank fuck I wont be here.

Who (allegedly) was bribing the dodgy git to vote for England?

That dirty son of a bltch Jack Warner should be shot! we have played friendlies in Trinidad, Beckham has opened soccer schools there and he said he and his 3 votes where with England! Then the slimey bastard goes and votes somewhere else!

 

Fleet street should fill a plane full of money and fly over to geneva to open up that slimey can of worms that is FIFA! Its a disgrace!

Qatar

1). Don't think the concern was about them being able to play, but the threat from extremist Muslims in the Gulf peninsula.

2). Have they recently changed the law or something? Or is everyone going to bundle into hotels and stay there until 5 mins before kick-off?

Dont know why people having a go at panarama I hope they do a follow up on this scandal, expose the cheating lieing johny foreigners, oh and by the way can we not pull out of europe on the back of this,save us a fortune in baling the wops,paddies and greeks out of the shit, we really are a bunch of mugs.

1 Would also apply if the US got there, and to some extent England as well

Made me chuckle did that.

Think there's already a large Septic expat presence in Qatar and certainly UAE without concern, the Israeli's are an whole other ball game though.

 

a taste of things to come

We got 2 votes!!!!!

We got 2 votes!!!!!

 

 

:lol: !!!

 

Only in England can we be nailed on, then for it to end like this !!!

1)Israel athletes have competed there before. That's that risk whereever it is held.

 

2) Hassan Abdulla al Thawadi, chief executive of the Qatar 2022 World Cup bid, said the Muslim state would also permit alcohol consumption during the world?s most watched sporting event. Specific fan-zones will be set up during the event, they will provide alcohol for sale.

Apparently we only got 2 votes, what a joke!

 

A Russian world cup will be piss poor and QATAR???? Will anyone who actually needs to work for a living be able to afford to go to that one or will it be left to the corporates etc!
