2022 World Cup Discussion

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Rochdale, if you meant the 2 year old.

Yes. Of course I was being sarcastic, in terms of location.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Kinell, Shearer talking about football, now there's a novelty.

 

[Keeper!]

The coverage of the opening ceremony on the BBC website is a utter disgrace.

Openly taking the piss and insulting the Nation of Qatar.

 

[Grassland Blue]

Hospitality outside of the ground and VIP boxes have no place for pies.

I suppose you could have prawns as a substitute for pie....

Qatar are through on goal only to be cynically brought down by an Ecuador player. Normally it would be a penalty, but today we’re jailing him for seven years for being a homosexual.


Better?

The Ecuador striker scores and hugs his team mate for providing the assist. Both players are jailed for 7 years for homosexuality and a further 5 years for a public display of affection.

What’s going to happen to all those stadiums they built in Qatar?

Maybe Qatar could offer 200B for the new super league or a 39th game or a cup final?

Oh yeah they’d jump at the chance to make that much money all hypocrites!

 

[give it to gordon]

Not watching

Looking forward to the bbc taking the moral high ground at the next sporting event to be held in America.

For anyone whingeing about BBC politics or bringing up the incredibly relevant Jimmy Saville if you watch on Iplayer they're only talking about football and there's no Alan Shearer.
They also showed opening ceremony which was 'intersting'.
Basically, if you want to partake in a bit of manufactured outrage watch on tv if you just want the football watch on Iplayer.

Yeah they were all given a few mins each to rant and tell us how bad it is in Qatar and how they shouldn’t have got the World Cup..

 

[waspish]

This "sports washing" doesn't seem to be working. I've just turned on the BBC coverage and heard nothing but criticism of the Qatar regime. Indeed, the media coverage over the last couple of days had been mostly negative.

"Sports washing" achieves the opposite of what it allegedly purports to achieve. It's a bizarre, irrational concept invented by some bitter journalists with an agenda.

They said if you don’t keep mentioning sport washing that’s when it becomes sport washing! Hahaha

One will be the dippers new home after the buyout.
Fingers crossed.

Talk about painting an entire society with the same brush!!

Self righteous bollocks and racist.

All so they can separate themselves from accusations of hypocrisy when covering the actual tournament.

I hear the rags are going to be using one to be closer to their fans

Some of the stadiums are being dismantled and moved to Africa. They have been specifically designed for that

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Would have been nice to watch the opening ceremony, cheers BBC.

The opening ceremony should be the two teams coming out, singing the national anthems and then kicking off. Can't stand all this extra bollocks. It's not the fucking Olympics or Superbowl.

 

[urban genie]

playing in city away colours, doing a reverse poznan, right thats it I am supporting Qatar this game ;-)

Perhaps they can take home Claridges, The Shard, The Savoy, Sainsbury's and see what is left of London at the end of it...

It should be the other way round mate (I’m old so presume iPlayer harder to access)

So theoretically the scum could get a new stadium ? Probably over pay for it .
