Decision made. They are not wearing the armbands.

Not allowed to wear the one love armband but are allowed to wear the no discrimination armband

The thing is why fuckin say we will be wearing them no matter what, then do the exact opposite.

Apparently only three slaves died building the stadiums, the rest are on a crest of a wave.

Excellent! Made me laugh.

Can’t get worked up about the armband fiasco. Palestinians have been living under occupation for generations in thst part of the world and we don’t give a fcuk (especially BBC panellists).

My preference would be to just focus on the football (when I can be bothered to watch it).

Harry has a big opportunity to show the World that Qatar's human rights are simply unacceptable. Would be up there with Jesse Owens in 36 and Tommie Smith in 68 - however the privileged, pampered, multi millionaire will bottle it and he and Southgate should forever be remembered as the spineless, self-serving, unprincipled cowards they are.

I'm wondering what the Sanctions were if they had gone ahead. As Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Dutch have also caved in now. The Danes had gone all in on highlighting this cause too.

Shouldn't matter - the whole world would think the worse of those issuing the sanctions - it would backfire on them massively given the outrage out there.

Bottled it, what a surprise.

And I bet no player has the cahunas to wear a t-shirt under their football top to show if they score, overtly promoting gay rights. A Banksy style image of two male Qatari leaders in a gay kiss would be brilliant.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

It's honestly pathetic to spend months promising something and then bottle it the morning of.

Just pathetic.

The sniveling, cowardly, governing bodies AND THE PLAYERS, are no better than FIFA.
