Thought I would be OK once it started. Hardly watched any. Will give tonight's game a go though. I think 10am, 1pm and 4pm kick offs never help when you have work to do.

HoylandOwl Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 I watched on Sunday, England game then half of the Wales game and have seen bits of most of the rest so far. it’s not the same, doesn’t have the same buzz at all. The political shit going off in the background doesn’t help either. Im looking forward to Friday night. But more so going to the game on Saturday.

That is very true. This coupled with being at a gig on Friday when England play USA and playing Five a Side when we play Wales prob means will be next round before I properly watch England.

Tylluan Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Was listening to one game on 5Live and the attendance was given out of the PA system. Chris Sutton immediately said that's 5k more than the official capacity isn't it and look at all those empty seats. They then forget the football and talk for five minutes about inflated attendances. Another point was made, back in the studio, about the crowd noises coming across as manufactured. Sutton then said the drummers were situated away from the main crowd and looked like the "English contingent the Qatari's had paid to come over" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkowlthesexynewversion Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Interesting comments about the politics surrounding the tournament, if you view this from the Arab side. That the European clubs focus on I hate to say first world problems of LGBT rights but would stay silent on global poverty, health. I mean if you go back 150 years or so our infrastructure, railways, canals were built by cheap immigrant labour with an appalling safety record to boot. So there is a degree of hypocrisy Jeez the biggest sport washing was the Nazis in the 1930s Oh if you are complaining about energy prices and security of supply perhaps we should be grateful of the QatarI gas exports that amount to about 10% of the total now and are heavily investing in storage facilities in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Euros in 1996 were hardly a sellout with us locals. This World Cup is far from perfect but the houlier than thou approach of the commentators and indeed Europe as a whole is a bit condescending really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the Undr The Cosh YouTube video, the non ex player host who’s name escapes me, piled into the game after despite his ticket being sent to the wrong email address (his fault) which left him without a digital ticket. But because there were so many struggling to get in, they just opened the gates to let folks in…. There’s so many balls ups at this tournament, but let’s not forget Fifa say it’s the greatest World Cup ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Just a note. My two pals who are out there now have genuinely enjoyed it. They are averaging being able to see two games a day and the whole process has been seamless aside from a couple of ticket glitches with the App. They’ve also said it far less restrictive than people think, the locals have been really friendly and helpful. And the atmosphere in some games has been really good. It has been very expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoylandOwl Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Rainbow hats and flags allowed in the stadium today….. According to Sky Sports after FIFA allow them. Oh right, it’s up to FIFA now what people wear is it? Makes them even more ****ish, that they’ve baulked to pressure rather than just doing the right thing in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M42Owl Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 There’ll be a good Muslim business man doing a roaring trade in rainbow hats at $20 each, just to have a last minute change of policy and they’re confiscated at the turnstiles.

Tylluan Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Possibly should have taken Vaulks over Allen but there was all that bollocks, at the squad announcement, about staying true to the senior players "who'd got them there" If that's so then why dick about picking 'kids' for the Euro league games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
