Confirmed banned from stadiums - the only way to get a drink at the match is to rent a box for ÂŁ19000
Concerns that the fan zones will be next.
Even if they donât from the off, a few arrests for drunk and disorderly will put pay to it - even with the 4 pint limit.
I think Qataris have underestimated the ingenuity of a football fan in the quest for getting tanked up
From the Corner, on the same subjectâŠ
FIFA have confirmed that the corporate hospitality boxes will still be serving alcohol. Thatâs alright then, hypocritical champagne socialists such as Gary Neville can still get on the MoĂ«t inbetween counting the piles of cash heâs received from the Qatari royal family to temporarily forget his supposed principles.
Itâs exactly that sort of hypocrisy which makes me the most angry about this shit fest. Wokegate and his gang of knee taking personality vacuums are more than happy to slate their own people as being racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist etc. Yet give them a sniff of Arabian delight in the form of lucrative side deals (David Beckham, Iâm looking at you) and theyâre more than happy to play in and promote a country which has the death penalty in place for anyone taking it up the arse.
You have to separate the two⊠by all means be angry at any hypocrisy, but being âawakeâ to the fact we do have issues at home with racism, homophobia, transphobia and sexism is a good thing, no matter that only the extreme silliness related to it is actually reported and thus made into an âacceptableâ joke⊠Gary Neville and Beckham being cunts does not mean we can âwash awayâ the shit we have at home
Wonder if this person was as outraged when Andy Gray and Richard Keys fucked off to Qatar for piles of cashâŠ
To be fair to Gray and Keys - they never took the moral high ground. They are more your immoral low ground types
And youâll probably see many of the âlocalsâ in corporate hostility quaffing alcohol - they seem to do it very well when over here in Knightsbridge and local environs
I think the Qatarisâ have played a blinder here.
Months of attacks on their Religious & Cultural heritage and boom, they take away part of footballâs heritage.
Gonna be a mess
More messy than a Lionel at a woke footballing drink-fest!
Fuck me, Infantile Infantino loseâs the plot⊠and talks bollocks for an hour
Yes the western world for years treated the citizens of its empires with an inhuman lack of respect, but that was then, and today whilst we still have issues with individuals who are far from enlightened, we no longer have such barbaric laws⊠wake up dickhead - you are just an apologist what is no longer acceptable
Well, as I recall, Russia and Qatar were announced as the next two hosts at the same time.
I remember it well because England had a bid in at the same time. I thought both decisions were dodgy but Russiaâs less so. It is a footballing nation with established framework and no former Warsaw bloc.
Qatarâs win made Russiaâs look dodgier imo, because it strengthened any assertion that decisions were not being made for footballing reasons and it was all about money.
Perhaps itâs time for LIV Football.
The mould needs breaking.
And clearly he was pressured into that speech
FFS I think Infantino is suggesting Qatar should be given free rein for the next 3000 yearsâŠ
âWe have been taught many lessons from Europeans and the Western world. I am European. For what we have been doing for 3,000 years around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3,000 years before giving moral lessons.â
3000 years?
I was born in 1975, not 975 BCE
Does this mean that because the vikings were a bit rapey 800 years ago, I have free reign for another 800 years
âToday I have strong feelings. Today I feel Qatari, I feel Arab, I feel African, I feel gay, I feel disabled, I feel a migrant worker.â
What the fuck is he on about
I am pretty sure the last one is inappropriate
Technically he is.
An Italian living in Qatar with a VisaâŠ
Has anyone seen the Gary Neville Vs Ian Hislop thing on Have I Got News For You?
It looked like Man Utdâs feared right back got crunched tackled and expertly kicked in the bollicks by the last kid to be picked for a playground school team
