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! Why would you have lawyers looking into it? If you get booked for it, then it draws worldwide attention to your signalling, which is surely the whole point of you doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Regardless of the decisions to focus coverage away from the actual football, the BBC coverage so far has been subpar. Hope ITV are better. Mick Brolly, Carl Sagan and Elwood P Dowd 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a different colour scheme to the well known Rainbow flag anyway. They should have held their nerve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I wonder how many of these players, teams, presenters, journalists, etc, who are so offended by the World Cup being held in Qatar, are donating the whole of their earnings from it, to some well deserving charity?

I see the VAR stance has changed since the last World Cup Maguire also had his arm wrapped around the defender so it's easy for them to say "six of one...". To get a penalty in that situation you need to keep your hands off the opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
