Fans at the World Cup will be banned from drinking beer,
while the VIPs can drink champagne.

[David Beckham is pictured on the front
of the Guardian as the paper questions whether
the World Cup may taint his brand;
while the lead story raises more questions around
the pay for guards working in Qatar.
The paper says workers employed as
security guards in a park
"at the heart of Qatar's World Cup festivities
appear to be being paid as
little as 35 pence an hour".
The guards interviewed by the paper
are not contracted to Fifa.]

Are they daft !? :facepalm:
Why don't people do their research before going to countries like Qatar. It always amazes me when people go to not only strict religious countries, but ones where booze & pork is limited or not allowed ...yet they still expect these items on tap !?? .

Like they're still in their home Garden having a BBQ or something and not the sodding MIDDLE EAST, like what do they expect!?.

It's pathetic enough how now people are saying "oh no there's no human rights we should stop " , well it's too late now . The world cup is still happening and the pockets are filled with gold ...and everyone's palms will continue to get greased. Football has very little to do with football itself , it's just utter corruption.

Qatar is the last place I'd want to be !.

He sounded like he needed someone to punch him.

Obviously nobody actually do that though, we don't want to make a martyr out of a prick.

[Mystic Mock]

Just to also add I love how having no booze is the reason why people are going on a moral crusade against Qatar rather than the actual Human Rights abuses.

You've got to love people's logic in 2022.:joker:

I wont be watching any build up, half time talk, or reactions on BBC. Just the game itself.

I wondered why there was no opening ceremony, that is appalling given we pay for it

Listening to all the muppets today who had nothing to say when it went to South Africa or Russia

Why are they out there, come home, you don’t need to be there to comment on a game in the break

because gays and black people/migrants are popular for young middle class white kids in the uk

Qatar bribe their way to hosting the finals and the fans all **** off at half time. It would all have made at least a little sense if the country had thousands of football fanatics

[MTVN]

Yeah I agree with Piers. Okay we all know about the problems with Qatar but it would be interesting to hear a bit more about other areas of the country - it's history, culture, how football has changed and grown there etc. All the sorts of thing you'd see in the opening ceremony I expect

[Mystic Mock]

The BBC are always like this.

Morality isn't their strong suit imo.

I agree with FIFA to hand out Yellow Cards

and that is Correct.

great news that this silly stunt was abandoned when they threat of a booking was issues

[Oliver_W]

Pathetic.

The OneLove armband was already the bare minimum. It wasn't even a rainbow.

And yet they even wimped out of wearing it just to appease a backward hellhole?

no it was FiFA

nowt to do with Qatar

It was the worry that Kane would get a booking and that is more important than a virtue-signalling stunt as he could have missed a game

Qatar is not a free speech loving country.

Which tbf was warned about back in 2010, but most people ignored it unfortunately.

[bots]

what about the BBC, the channel that wants to lecture us about human rights and climate change during a football program

[Gusto Brunt]

I agree with FIFA to hand out Yellow Cards

I'd go further. I'd ban them from the tournament. :fist::hee:

I'm also sick of footballers taking the knee to gay and black people.

I support gay people and black people.

BUT, taking the knee is insulting. :fist: So patronising.

It's as if there's saying 'we're white and straight and superior but we really do think YOU people should be treated better.'

Sadly it's not just the BBC or Football.

Nearly everything on TV/Streaming world is in your face with their Politics at the moment, and bizarrely the producers fight their audience in some cases where being overly political hasn't gone down well.:laugh:
