[Football] QATAR dangle the freebies - where would you stand ?

[Herr Tubthumper]

Not for me.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

No way and I’m disgusted that the FA are allowing our national team to go. It’s just wrong on so many levels.

 

[southstandandy]

Not even going to watch it this time - partly as we are on holiday, but to me the whole thing just stinks.

The way they bought the tournament.
The whoreing of celebrities like Beckham to make even more dirty money
The obvious human rights issues

Glad we'll be away.

 

[portslade seagull]

Just should never have gone there in the 1st place but money talks.

 

[The Clamp]

If I could find a way to subvert it without getting my meat-pods chopped off, I’d give it a go.

Otherwise it’s a no. Their attitude stinks.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Excellent idea


show me the $$$$$$$

What about doing it, and insisting on wearing this t shirt throughout?

Is a translation available?

 

[beorhthelm]

personally wouldnt go there, or anywhere with such draconian laws. but each to their own. lots of people get paid to work in Qatar and neighbours all the time and no one makes a fuss about that.

i wonder though if it indicates how few tickets are being sold?

 

[MattBackHome]

Nope

If you go onto amazon and look for a muslim pride T shirt, this is what you'll find. It's a real thing as far as I can see

I have very little desire for this World Cup but can understand it is a great, one-off, opportunity for some to visit a part of the world they've never seen and have a nice sunny holiday watching football in November - we are asking a lot for people who want to go and spend their money on global football's showpiece when their non-attendance would make no difference whatsoever in reality.

That, of course, is very different than engaging directly with the regime in Qatar and getting pocket money and free tickets to paint untruths back at home (and globally). It is an absolute disgrace that people would even think about selling themselves to this and genuinely quite difficult to believe anyone would put themselves forward for that.

 

[Superphil]

I might just say yes, take the tickets, and then just not go, thus ensuring that there is at least one empty seat in the stadium.

I certianly wouldn't go, and I won't be watching either.

 

[Springal]

Any difference to ‘influencers’ - or Brighton and hove Albion flying over / putting up American Andy the super fan ?

 

[Gabbafella]

Can't get time off work, sorry.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Hahaha. They are absolutely desperate to get people there.

Could this be the first World Cup in years with empty stands in most games?

 

[Triggaaar]

It's nice to see so many of you with such strong principles. But how many of you would hold your nerve if actually offered?

I'd take the trip.

 

[GT49er]

Not a f****** chance!



Not nearly enough of an inducement to get me on to an aeroplane!

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I won't be watching it

Honour can’t be bought. But then millions have no honour about them.
