Seconded. He was being a dick
Day 1: Qatar vs Ecuador - Match Discussion Only Please.
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I’m amazed the amount of people here who can’t even understand that. Then again, this is the cafe..
In fairness, you can tell once he gets a reaction it dawns on him he shouldn't be fecking around with his kids there. Banter or not, security would be entitled to remove him.
I thought he was rubbing his fingers like counting money. I think it was after the goal was ruled out. Maybe trying to suggest they paid off the ref.
Anything about this world cup has to be hysterical for some.
For having his kids there or the gesture?
Just got in, have I missed the half time beheading?
He's celebrating the goal and the Qataris around him take exception.
Edit: No he's claiming that the VAR was bribed.
Summons to the embassy are already on their way. Get the bonesaw ready.
Even in a Europe you wouldn't go into the away end and start winding up the fans. It's a dumb thing to do.
Reminds me of Uruguay-England in 2014. When England got the equaliser I realised I was in a 90%+ English section... but it didn't stop me chanting they weren't singing any more after the second
Once emotional people make up their minds about something, it’s hard for them not to see everything through that lense. Confirmation bias at its finest. Seeing some really dodgy ”bantz” in here too but let’s not get into that.
Pretty rowdy
They can't possibly imprison all those fans, can they?
Try to entertain 2 thoughts at the same time. The ultimate victim here would be the daughter. To be fair, I don't believe anything is going to happen to him, but it is at best reckless in such a country. You don't need to bring your kid along when you intend to provoke people, knowing very well there might be risk for repression. This is of course no excuse for that possible violence...
Only a good stoning so far!
Why would he be a dick for having his kids there?
He was being a dick for trying to get a rise out of the Qatari fans next to him. It's funny how sheepish he looked sitting down at the end, not realising somebody might say something.
In Europe you’re much more likely to get physically attacked.
he’s not celebrating he’s doing a bribery action with his hands and heckling.
Clearly he winds up the local and then realises he needs to try and calm him down. Doing that with your young daughter next to you?! idiotic
Thats a tad xenophobic. They aren't known for violence against kids.
now this is banter
It's hardly the ultra section. But if someone did that in Germany I wouldn't be surprised if someone behind that person accidentally let his beer slip.
Excellent. Easing us in.
Are Senegal that good without Mane? It could come down to GD between them and Ecuador
Looked like banter got out of hand and he was trying to calm the Qaren down?
nobody is saying they’ll hurt the daughter. but the dad might get dragged out and beaten. what’s the 4 year old gonna do then when her daddy is in hospital?
Loving the Islamophobic 'jokes'. Keep them coming RedCafe.
I guess this is a good indication of the game that the last 2 pages are about a tweet and not the actual match.
Yeah I've watched it again and edited my post.
“Even”? European countries are undisputed champions of football related violence
For sure.
That's very civilised. At La Bombonera they would piss on you from the next tier.
It seems to be the standard all the critics are using.
Its no surprise though. Dickheads cant help themselves
Were those Qatar fans or fans from other nations dressed in generic Qatar t-shirts?
I meant violence against him, the adult provocateur. In a country with poor judicial and rule of the law record, it is more likely you'd get attacked for such gestures... But yes, it wouldn't be smart in most western countries either...
What’s been said there ? What’s the money thing and then what did the gentleman sitting behind say
I know Qatar are utter wankers but is the "All Arab countries are the same" stuff really necessary? Some of you are making references to Saudi Arabia when mentioning Qatar and I'm not quite understanding it.
This is hilarious.. Have you guys seen any football? The fan reaction in the English leagues or anywhere in Europe/South America would have been far worse..
A guy telling him to shut up is probably the nicest reaction he could have hoped for ..
But because its Qatar its scary all of a sudden..
