Right - forgetting the bent bidding process and the conditions of the migrant workers building the stadiums - does anybody else agree that a Nov/Dec competition has the potential to be ace?

 

Firstly because it will take up most of the traditional Christmas bullshit season so we'll all be talking about football and not festivities. Secondly just for the novelty factor. And thirdly because we can see whether or not our well worn excuse about our players being tired stands up to scrutiny.

at this rate , idrissa gueye is probably already serving a 3 match ban for reading his bible at home. 

If he is feeling all these prople in Qatar he is going to have his balls cut off! 

Really looking forward to tomorrows opening exhibition of football.      I'd rather sit through a re-run of us against wiggin at wum.

I think the fact that it's in November/December isn't an issue at all, in fact it's a novelty.

Everything else about it is shit, mind

I think there would be if it wasn't in Qatar with all its issues, but then again it wouldn't be in November/December otherwise I suppose

I think I'll watch and enjoy the football just for the football and leave all of the attention seeking spacktivists like this lot to it.

No doubt a good number from this shit hole are statue topplers?

Aye they meet every Saturday morning to topple a statue.

 Never get bored of that Colston footage ❤️

I imagine an hour of that and I’d cringe so hard I’d suck my entire living room up my hoop

Farage and Le Tissier - two very historic English family names.

Although Farage is actually German isn't he? Or Albanian. Can't remember which.

Really? Haven’t heard nothing until the last week or so with gays piping up

There hasn’t been much really, not from people who might possibly have an influence. It seems only lately a few players/teams have shown their utter disgust by having a T shirt on under their club tops. And a few fans revealing large banners saying “boycott Qatar” 2 weeks before it starts. Pointless really.

Moaning and no action. Not a thing.

Major nations could have said fuck off, we're not going there.

Instead mealy mouthed soundbites to sound right politically.

That's why it's so wrong now. Too late, so just get behind the team.

Fuck right off!!!....you can't come on here talking sense like that!! 😁

Just read that there’s a comedian called Joe Lycett who’s  going to shred 10k if Beckham doesn’t pull out of his multi million pound deal with Qatar 🙄

He's not averse to controversy. That notwithstanding, if true, then it would represent a step beyond any virtue gesturing seen before.

Time to burn those rainbow laces. 🤣

Aye, actions speak louder than words 

 

There's been lots of words against Qatar but little action 

 

Actually find it most amusing that Qatar boycotted Budweiser

 

We don't like alcohol here, so fuck off, none of this "we're uneasy selling alcohol, it makes us queasy, but we'll do it anyway because it's the world cup"

Cunts trick to do it 2 days before the start though.

Maybe, though I don't think being able to drink in the ground was a deciding factor in anyone going 

Anyone shelling out is going purely for the football 

Which is why no one is going 

Which is why they are paying migrant workers to pretend to be fans

He would get better publicity giving it to a Veterans Homeless Charity

I'm genuinely expecting half full stadiums for most games 

Either that or a lot of disinterested 'fans' who just want to earn enough money to go home.

One thing is for sure, there won't be a load of piss tanks sat in Qatar right now regretting their decision to go
