Which is why I'm saying their interview serves no purpose other than a self serving attempt to airbrush their appalling behaviours Which part of this are you failing to understand? Do you think the interview taking place in Qatar during World Cup was designed to get maximum publicity or was just coincidental? Who knows. My point isn’t around this interview it’s more around the impact that a press witch-hunt can have on peoples lives. There wasn't a Press Witch Hunt, your the only one that introduced this deflection They freely gave an entirely self serving interview which is totally consistent with their character

That doesn't really mean anything though, if France, Spain, Germany, Italy, England, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, USA, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina have all left to play in somebody else's World Cup. If the main European and South American footballing countries left fifa. FIFA would collapse. Hopefully ...

If the press witch hunt was detrimental to them in anyway 11 years ago why would they want to regurgitate it again at the most high profile time?

They tried to do the same with Souness recently when he said about it being a man’s game. Straight in to get him fired.

If the press witch hunt was detrimental to them in anyway 11 years ago why would they want to regurgitate it again at the most high profile time? How is it off topic? You basically mentioned it and highlighted papers headlines about them?

Of course you are See my reply to Knype to see how stupid that comment is What is stupid? I'm tempted, but I'll refrain Ive already answered the question. If the "Media Witch Hunt" had caused you so much distress 11 years ago including apparently having suicidational thoughts what would be your motivation to voluntarily invite another potential "Witch Hunt"?

Firstly, Qatar should not be holding it, but they are as they bid for it. If I bid for something, it generally means i want it. If you want the WC you have to accept all that comes with it. You can't bid for it, then literally change things as it happens. The obfuscation about the political correctness of it all, is doing Qatar a huge favour in covering up the 7500 actual slave deaths, building football grounds, in a country that is too hot to hold it during 'normal' WC times. The Qatari's no doubt have paid huge PR firms to stick to the one love armband narrative knowing full well all the other stuff (slave deaths/poor accommodation /reneging on a $75m beer sponsorship / sportswashing) will then drop off the radar. The green aspect has also gone to pot, as everyone appears to be staying in dubai and flying in and out in one day. Fuck Qatar.
