Law of the land,.it does not matter a flying [zb] whether or not a non indigenous gay or straight individual agrees with it,.it’s a case of …‘‘When in Rome etc etc’’.
If you don’t agree with their laws however archaic just don’t go …end of.
FIFA have chosen to hold their footie show in a country that does not welcome all of FIFA`s supporters.
Qatar has a right to its own laws. FIFA should have been thinking about all of its members, not just the ones approved of by this particular Government.
Ok so what’s your point?
I ain’t a champion nor an apologist for FIFA, I would say that brown envelopes and corruption was rife…allegedly.
I agree,.and it was a [zb] ridiculous venue/time to hold the World Cup,.I reckon about 99 % of football fans would agree with that.
If I had some interest in a sport held in Iraq, I’d be giving it a wide berth due to their ridiculous laws…which I don’t agree with.
.I wouldn’t be going over there carrying a crucifix and a badge saying ‘Jesus rules ok’ with a bikini clad blonde on each arm…As it is against THEIR laws.

The allegations were founded.
But what do you think of an organisation that allows the decisions of bent officials to stand?
They have had years* to do something about this deal, but havent. If youre no apologist for FIFA why arent you saying it is wrong to hold the event in a country where some Footie fans allowed to behave as they always do, but some arent?
*Because of the lack of existing footie history stadiums are being built from scratch in Qatar. It would have been quite possible to host an event in a country, or group of countries with some existing stadiums, and some updates.
Would have saved the thousands of construction workers deaths too.
Frangers mate seriously.
I think you are just too used to me having a direct opposite opinion to you on most things on here.
I think you are too used to arguing with me.

All that rubbish ( armbands etc ) shouldn’t be no where near a World Cup .
That’s coming from my 35 year old gay daughter.
She’s gay not proud or unproud of it , it’s just who she is like any heterosexual person is . No need to go round promoting ( or hiding your gay ) the gay community want to be treated normally at fairly yet all the seem to do is say they are proud to be gay ( as if there something different or special) and wave a flag about and go on marches .
Just live your xxxxxxx life for gods sake .
All her words not mine .

Keep politics out of sport has always been my mantra. Play ball!
In an ideal world, absolutely correct.
Politics and money and religion should have no place in sport.
All UK footie fans should be allowed to go and watch the footie freely.
They cant because of the choices made by FIFA. Ask RobRoy, as a strong union supporter, he agrees that the UK team should have refused to participate because some of their fan base, (LBGT and boozers) cant go and act freely there.

The agenda and narrow pov is clearly there,… an opinion from a non football fan who just does not get it and never will …the passion for the game .
Blatantly evident by his terminology…
‘‘The UK team’’
No more to say really.
I’m.a non smoker I think smoking should be totally banned throughout society.
(I don’t really,. I’m just coming from the same direction as Frangers. )

Do I “get the passion of the game”?
No I don`t. But what has that to do with it?
If a big kid wants the ice-cream that little kid is eating, should he just take it?
If the big kid reallypassionately wants the ice-cream, does that then make it OK for him to take it?
How much you want something, doesn`t affect your right to take it.
Im a non-smoker, but am not for out-lawing it. Im not intending taking my boyfriend to the World Cup Footie Thing. But I think you should be able to take your boyfriend there.
You seem content that only some UK (English, Welsh etc) fans are welcome, because of FIFAs decision, Im not happy about that.
No, it won`t affect me much, but I do think that seeing the world through the narrow point of view of what affects me directly is wrong.
Aye whatever mate, you’ve succeeded in boring me yet again, so consider yourself the winner.
Anyhow why tf are you contributing to a football subject , is there not a Brexit or Covid thread needs attended to and bumped up.
As for ‘my boyfriend’ whom you kindly mention, he’s boycotting the World Cup, but he says he’s quite happy waiting for the season to resume, he fancies a Newcastle away game down at London for the shopping, so I’ve promised to take him up the Arsenal some time next year…thanks for asking.
