Saudi Players Ignore minutes silence

[chucky1973]

Are we going to do one for the attacks in Iran on Sat?

Australians died in London.

Having reviewed the footage, it looks like some of the Saudi's stood still but some we're still jigging about. It wouldn't have taken much for them just to pause for a minute like the rest of the stadium were doing or is that asking too much?

OUTRAGE! And loads of it, there's loads out there...if you care to look for it like Drew, running around foaming at the mouth like a 70's kid drinking litres of squash each day. GRRRRRRRR!

we drank gallons of squash in the seventies not litres

The Guardian has a few examples of Saudis observing the minutes science.

Saudi is dodgy as you like but worth billions to western business so our governments turn a blind eye.

Utter scum .

I don't ever see the western countries observing minutes silence week in week out for terror attacks in the Middle East, so why should they observe it.

Courtesy? If Saudi held a minutes silence in a match in Riyadh, you can't really imagine the Australians ignoring it.

The debate about whether we are doing many of these silences is another thing though.

Courtesy, sportsmanship, good manners , international relations, common decency etc .etc. the list goes on.
How many times have you been caught at a moment when a minute's silence is held that you don't personally care about? We all have, but we remain silent out of sheer respect for humanity.
FIFA have to censure them .

WTF!? Australia, correctly IMHO, wanted to observe a minutes silence... the Saudi scum decided to NOT observe... this makes them utterly disrespectful ****ers... show me an analogous situation in the UK or west... think, then type... it might help you not sound like a sad apologist for a horrible country's football team..

Could that be because either:

a) they aren't playing a team from that nation week in week out

or

B) that nations association didn't request it

Not that hard to work out really. Having said that I don't care if they do or don't. They are just hypocritical turds deep down.

This minute silence stuff is overdone, OK the Saudis were blowing it out because they are a bunch of bigots but still, would you want a minutes silence for every possible attrocity?

 

[Simster]

Maybe the Saudis didn't see the point of a minute's silence, seeing as half the victims were women? There were probably some Bangladeshis and Fillipinnos among the dead too. It hardly seems worth it does it?

Salman Al Faraj did stand for the minutes silence. Dude deserves some respect for that.
