Obviously asking Piers Morgan to do the interview is a red flag but the piece about Rooney is awfully petty.

On the topic of football and the World Cup, this really hits home just how appalling the decision to base the WC in Qatar is. (and the one in Russia before that)Last edited by Raoul Duke III; 15-11-22, 13:40."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

It was a Guardian article, referenced later in an Amnesty International report which went into more details re employment conditions, rights , the long hours in extreme heat, poor health and safety, lack of information or autopsies on deaths (natural causes mostly is the official line) and the fees workers had to pay to get over there.
Sure easy enough to Google it

Definetly least excited I’ve been about a World Cup- I’d say atmosphere in the stadiums will be shit enough- I’d say a good few fans won’t travel with the cost/ fact that it’s being hosted by an airport departure loungeWill you ever fuck off with that shite... you are easily one of the worst posters on here for this-Pokerhand

but where will the shortfall in sponsorship revenue come from now?
The Crypto sponsorship of F1 and MotoGP will surely blow up eventually too.﴾͡๏̯͡๏﴿

It seems there's always a slightly shady industry around the corner who will have need of sport to get their message out.

Nice to wake up to hear Russia has potentially attacked a NATO country. At least markets are saying it's nothing.

LOL. Here we go again.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Think it's pretty determined it was Ukraine anti aircraft ordnance that fell in Poland
It was an interesting journey last night from the Chicken Littles, the hawks and the more measured responses on twitter.
If anything, it may help whet out the headcases from being reported on as much.

The labour cost will be anything from a couple of hours to a day depending on number of fixtures. Might even cost less that the fixtures themselves.

Made a first ever visit to a garage. Was ballparking a few hundred for replacing the flat tire. Five minutes later I'm walking out of there with a fixed tire for €15. Gimps. I even glanced in amazement at the garage when I got there and mentioned to the guy I'd never actually seen one before. They could have been dining out for years on what they could have asked for. Hadn't quite occurred to me that tires could be fixed, mentally assumed they were just chucked on a tirefire and in with a new one. Every day is indeed a schoolday."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

I have a foreboding fear something horrific is going to happen in this world cup. Nothing catastrophic like the English pig types winning it . More like some deaths being added to the stockpile already accumulated along the way.. Got a bad feeling about this sarge. So many cultures mixing in such a strict prohibitively backward place . Its a perfect storm.

But I'm old enough to remember 2012 Poland and Ukraine when we were all going to get stabbed by skinheads according to Panorama.
And even before that we were risking instant violent death setting foot in Joburg in 2010. Mere guaranteed kidnapping in the other cities.
And the stadiums were all going to fall down in Brazil 2014 because of the late rush to get them built.

A final commitment to the 'living wage' by the gov. They are going to rachet up to it over the next four years, but if it was set for next year it would be €26k minimum annual salary. Two minimum wage earners in a family and they're on over €50k. We've come a long way from the days of Roddy Doyle's Ireland. Fair fucks."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil

Social welfare, by contrast, has a base rate of about €11k a year, so there's a massive gap now between working and welfare. I guess the issue is that, with the extra benefits like housing, welfare 'can' still pays a bit more? Or maybe HAP is available to workers on lower incomes also."We're not f*cking Burundi" - Big Phil
