He's not wrong with his criticism of Western hypocrisy.
Having a world cup in Qatar is a joke but the West's virtue signalling is sickening.
Gary Linekar is a fine example of everything wrong with the West. They pick and choose their causes based on convenience and their own self interest at heart.

If I had to return to one of those soulless portacabins I'd want to be absolutely off my fucking face to numb the pain of the ridiculous sums of wedged I'd spaffed just to be there.

Sky report this morning stated no beer in the stadium and only 4 drinks each in the fan zones This will end in tears. The biggest sporting event on the planet ran by a bunch of Fukin idiots. Isn’t 4 beers enough? At £12 per pint it is

And it’s Budweiser at £12 a pint! Speaking of lager nightmares I’ve just been New York and ordered a pint of Stella with a meal, it was $9 already pushing my limits. To then have it served in a plastic tumbler 😵it was like being served a carlsberg at Stoke I’ve never been so disappointed. I was that disconcerted and moaning to the wife I proceeded to pick up the sugar dispenser without looking and shook it all over my food.

In my experience, you normally find in life, the louder someone shouts about what a great, virtuous, ethical person they are... The less great, virtuous and ethical they are. If you do good things, why do you feel the need to tell the world about it? It's time for Western hypocrites like Linekar and Neville to shut up and get on with the football.

What does it matter anyway? It shouldn’t be happening.

If they did, they’d just abandon international football from now on. They’ll forget as soon as another story dominates the headlines for a while.

Fifa could become a very different beast but it won't be the end of them UEFA have been gunning for them for years and probably have a stronger product. This so far has been a disaster and the only thing that can save it is the football. I think it’s 50/50 if they survive this.

This so far has been a disaster and the only thing that can save it is the football. I think it’s 50/50 if they survive this. They’ll likely make record revenue and move on. They sold $1b in tv rights to Fox and Telemundo. They’ll generate a lot more from other elements of the game. They made a tonne of money in Russia, which has some very questionable practices as well. The reality of it is, not enough people care to make a massive dent in their bottom line.

My impression is that Budweiser care very, very much. They can use it as a time to market Bud N/As. It’s the same flat piss taste as bud light and will get you there about as quickly 😂

His words; "We have been taught many lessons from Europeans and the Western world. I am European. For what we have been doing for 3,000 years around the world, we should be apologising for the next 3,000 years before giving moral lessons".
I'd rather be judged on what I do nowadays, than bringing up whatever somebody did 1000's of years ago.
The man is a muppet, he sits atop a corrupt organisation, and has the balls to denigrate those he feels should be a bit more lenient to another corrupt organisation, Qatar. Fuck him, and all who agree with him. How fucking dare he.

Infantino was on the ropes and he's come out punching.
I suppose the best you can say is Quatar are better the lot who ran the last World Cup, who are now shelling their neighbours Ukraine in to the dark ages and carrying out genocide.
He was babbling inanely on about his red hair at one point.

There seems to be a lot that just don’t care and I think the viewing figures will be down here unless we do really well. The football can save them but I think they’re close to being undone as they’ll ever be.

Anybody who wants fifa fucked off must be an idiot …..it would be like Iraq when Hussain got overthrown and it all broke up with everybody wanting a slice of the cake and carving it up for themselves …ie a power grab
It needs to sit under one body not several as that would ultimately be football as we know it finished
Anyway shouldn’t this be merged with the Qatar thread
