As Jimmy Cricket would often say..."come here, There's more" loving how this competition is slowly being unravelled ? It's just Infantino not wanting to upset the Qatari's as they are under attack from the Western media. He was hoping his little concentrate on the football memo would have took the spotlight off the human rights issue, kinda backfired as things have ramped up. That saw him lash out with his bizarre rant claiming to feel like a Qatari, Migrant worker and gay. Then the BBC and Lineker's opening speech probably made things even worse which is why the armband has now been pulled. It's a mess and there is nothing FIFA can do at this point to please both sides. Be interesting to see what happens going forward, there needs to be some other way of awarding the host nation, maybe let the countries competing pick whilst no one continent can host back to back.

Absolutely, He'll be getting 1st class everything, He can't criticize the hosts as it was FIFA who awarded it to them, He's stuck between politics and finance, His tirade the other day was somewhat mind blowing, He gave the worlds media, Social media, World organisations, Fans a pick axe handle to beat him with...all this when he said..."we need to concentrate on the football" Since my adult hood I've battled those who would take advantage of those who are unable to fend for them selves, I'm not a media darling as they have their own agenda, But "the peoples game" was stolen years ago by the money men and those that have the power, It aint fun anymore for me, I'll watch our game this afternoon, But with little enthusiasm for England.

The guy he played it TO wasn't offside Is this an obscure part of the offside rule that you can't play the ball forward if you are offside yourself, and I just don't know because it rarely/never happens? When the freekick was taken, no one was offside, the player then ran into an offside position and headed it. What if he had headed it in? Would it have counted? Every time I watch it from a different angle I come to a different conclusion. I'm just glad it didn't involve England and it ended up not being a decisive moment.

Stive Pesley Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Ah - I see that Joe Lycett didn't really shred the £10k and as I suspected it was a stunt to publicise the issue and to out David Beckham as a money-grubbing whore It also had a by-product of making thousands of old footie gammons look a bit foolish for being more outraged about a man (not) shredding £10k than they were about Beckham taking a few million off the backwards Qatari regime Reggie Greenwood, Jubbs, RoyMac5 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lawyers are looking into FIFA's 'yellow card' stance. The other side of the coin is the risk of alienating fans if players did get booked. See the 'moral outrage' over a bit of money-shredding!
