He keeps arguing for an appeals system in football. It's a fucking daft idea.

I have some sympathy for them: they're entitled to earn a living, and who knows, such events and visitors may ultimately help change the human rights situation there, but simply don't preach and prostitute themselves in the meantime.

The faux indignation of the British media about human and workers rights and conditions around the time of the WC ground my gears a fair bit given that the UK has an appalling record - the dead Chinese in Morecambe Bay, the house slaves in London, the seasonal crop pickers locked away in Lincolnshire without pay to cite just a few examples.

People in glass houses etc etc.... Can echo these sentiments to an extent. Been to Qatar numerous times and found it to be a hospitable and welcoming place. Some question marks for sure, but we make this assumption in the West that our way is the right way when, in reality, we've plenty issues of our own to sort before making moral judgments on others. The country wasn't really a country until the 1950's (i'll need to fact check that date), so how on earth we expect them to view the world as we do I don't know. Don't mind Ian Hislop normally, but he irritated me on that clip. Hasn't been to Qatar as far as i am aware, and went for the easy digs against a bloke who clearly (and weirdly) hadn't taken the time to consider the answer should he be pushed on it. Anyway, this is the transfer thread and we only signed 3 players this window. Boooo
