And cue the gammons demanding the BBC gets privatised.

Would it be possible to have beans with mine not overly keen on pineapple.

Just turned to the bbc to see the Hood doing a speech

Mick Lynch is in Qatar!?

"Our own country has people dying in boats" ?

Stamford Park lake can be a little choppy at this time of year for sure.

 

[BlueAnorak]

You actually watched ?

Yes.

 

[chesterbells]

Well that was shit. A team massively out of their depth against a semi-competent side that treated it like a warm up game. The Qatari obvious United fans leaving in droves at halftime when their own team are in their first ever world cup game was embarrassing, noticed all the fifa official cameras had the angles firmly tilted down to hide it.

Imagine what it'll be like a week into the competition and those third often meaningless games are coming up when the one game you'd expect to be rammrd is mostly empty after 60 minutes. Seen more excitement from the nations league games.

Premier League offers better entertainment and better quality players every weekend.
Pinnacle of world football, my arse.

 

[mat]

Don't be. It was shit and weird. The highlight was a strange little fucker with no legs walking around on his hands talking to Morgan Freeman.

Martinez?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Yes.

Hope it was worth it .

Not sure that Iran v Ecuador was the most interesting of competition openers , but each to their own.

Those ‘Qatari’ ultras behind the goal are the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. What a fucking joke.

What I don’t understand is why Qatar wanted this? They’ve paid a fortune to do nothing other than humiliate themselves. The place is suitable for the Qataris but of little interest for international visitors from around the world (there’s only so many times you can wander round a museum of Islamic art). The team is embarrassingly bad. The people obviously don’t care enough to watch a full game. The stadiums are white elephants that will get no use beyond the tournament. Why did they spend billions for this?!

They’ve paid supporters from every country haven’t they?

Martinez?

Nah too tall.

 

[mackenzie]

Got to admit I only saw a bit of it and that was "fans" walking in. Families mainly.
Looked like the better off ones and that they couldn't give a shite really. Almost as if they were the wealthier ones who went only for the prestige.

Sterile shit
