2022 World Cup Discussion

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Is anyone from BM actually going, or know anyone thats going?

I know two Welsh people going and they’re buzzing for it.

I'm going tomorrow until my flight home the day after the final that's how confident I am that we will win it!!! Certainly going to be a different tournament than any of the previous ones.

If you get time it would be great to read some updates/info on how the experience goes....get pics too :-)

Are you staying in one of those shipping containers?

Smuggle it in from where?

You can't buy alcohol in Qatar outside of hotel bars and the fanzones, it's not like you can pop to the offy and fill a hip flask full of vodka.

You can, from QDC. I’m sure there will be a healthy black market, there always has been and the ‘milkmen’ will do a roaring trade.


I have spent ten years defending these fucks and then they change their mind and break contracts two days before the show begins. Fuck arseholes. Hope I live long enough to see them return to working for a living.

They do have off licences so there are ways and means. Plus the airport duty free that people will no doubt stock up on as they arrive. Same as here in the UAE.

No duty free allowed in to the country (unlike the UAE).

No off licenses (unlike the UAE).

My brother is going
He's lived in Dubai for almost 30 years

There is one off licence in Qatar.
You need to be a resident to use it.

There are two and it’s not an off license in the classic sense.

QDC sells very expensive alcohol and pork but you need to be resident, have a no objection letter from your sponsor (employer) and not be Muslim.

Where are you staying?

Someone should knock up a banner
"We're only here for the beer!"

You answered your own question, from the hotel. Nothing stopping people buying in hotel and re-filling container to take to match. You know somebody will be daft enough to try this.

They’ll be arrested for that.
