I wish mate Had a 9am game with these to be at this morning. you should come up for a game sometime, might ease a bit of the bitterness about all those Albanians. It wasn’t too difficult a point to understand RW, you said we should respect Qatar, “their laws and their lands”. Thought that sounded funny coming from a good British Military man like yourself.

They affect people in some countries more than they do in others, but they affect everyone one way or another. Footballers are people. If they want to use their platform to draw attention to a cause, they should have every right to do so. If they don't want to, they have every right not to. It's very odd that a lot of today's "Free Speech" warriors think footballers should just shut up. Well put Cheese, sums it up perfectly. Football has lived and breathed politics from the moment it was born. Working class communities had to fight hard for the right to play. Anyways, I’ll leave this thread for the football, for the time being 😉 hopefully Qatar will regret not playing any competitive football and crumble in this group.

Aye As said previously, the option is Beckham drops all his appearances etc and lycett donates the money to charity to raise awareness Everyone knows this isn't going to happen so it goes to his next option it's shredding the money Therefore devoiding any charity of the money he said he could give Publicity stunt

November 20, 20223 yr To be fair, Lycett telling Beckham he should give up the millions he's earning from Qatar or else he'll do some good with the £10,000 he has burning a hole in his pocket is hardly a threat. I do think it's absolutely wild if he's shredded it, though (if indeed he actually has).
November 20, 20223 yr 7 minutes ago, Cheese said: And you're talking about it even more now. Correct with people who knew all about what’s happening in Qatar and has been for years. It was a publicity stunt. I doubt many on here will go and watch him now we have had this conversation. He’ll probably end up coming out it looking a bell end. The things folk will do for 2 mins of publicity.
