Football associations back down on display of inclusion after FIFA threat. 21st Nov 2022 10:49
News this morning is that FIFA have threatened to discipline any captain who wears any insignia supporting unity and equality at this years World Cup. After seemingly being positive at such action in September when the associations wrote to FUFA it now transpires they were not supportive all along. 0

Very good topic
Very honest too.
I feel sick to the stomach and we haven’t played yet.
It is clear money talks here .
We are no better than anyone else,worse in fact for being such utter hypocrites
When it all comes down, we bottle it and crawl away

Frankly, I hope Wales lose every game and get out early.

Leave this to the Filth

Funny how things are turning out. First alcohol in the stadia, now the armbands. FIFA are playing a blinder.

The ones who banned alcohol in the stadium will be allowed to have it in hospitality, think about it.

If the Welsh team had gone all in and pushed the armband issue all the way, to the point of exiting the tournament, I would have been more proud than if they had beaten England. FIFA couldn't have imposed more sanctions on Wales the court of human rights would have dealt with it.

Too much moralising from footballers and the media. When push comes to shove they take the money. They would be better off saying that they don't feel fully qualified to explore geopolitics and leave it at that.

I think the so called big nations should be pushing it, rather than expect us minnows to do all the work.

Now the “ticket app” has crashed and no bugger can get in the stadium.

What's to stop all the players walking out hand in hand ? I hope they do the hair cutting gesture they've been asked to do

Maybe they could just strip naked and form a massive sex pile in the centre circle?




In all seriousness it’s all getting a bit silly now. When all the talk before games is what celebration will they do to highlight this issue you know football is a bit broken. And what would it achieve anyway? Would the Qatari authorities see Harry Kane wearing a rainbow armband and immediately decree that 1500 years of sharia law is over? Allah has finally changed his mind about gay people?

What Kane and Bale are actually protesting against is islam. If they did this sort of thing in Luton or Bradford they’d be labelled far right bigot Nazis and be up on a hate crime. These nations aren’t going to change. Their laws are built on the literal interpretation of Mohammed’s words.

It'll be interesting if they kiss each other when a goal is scored.

Kane and his rainbow armband being backed down on because of the threat of a yellow card

It’s almost like a sit-com at this point, couldn’t make it up.

Please let’s remember how empty these gestures are going forward and why people take issue with this culture of doing so. Self absorbed tokenism with subliminal and damaging political undertones.

I wonder if Drakeford has had to rewrite his speech he was going to to give to the Qatar government ?

FFS give it a rest.
Funny how people who claimed there was no place for 'virtue signalling'' when the Swans wore rainbow laces, took the knee etc are now banging on about FIFA ruling on political statements!

Men regularly kiss men in the middle east. It is a normal thing as a greeting between friends. Arabs do it all the time if you pay attention.

Got to laugh at the Football media and all the "ex football players" etc, they're all appalled with what the Qatari regime stand for yet they're all out there lapping it all up and earning mega bucks, hypocrites each and everyone of them.

That said I've come in from work done what I had to and now sitting down watching it,
