Honestly, it's been open season for Islamophobia on here lately and nothing is done "because Qatar are cnuts".
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?
Seems like the forum is happy to let it slide for this particular tournament.
Well this thread has been interesting to say the least!
Yeah, I suspect there's a bit of arrogance on his part because he thinks the Qatari's will passively take it. As you say, I very much doubt he does a similar gesture in a nation like, say, Russia at the last world cup.
he’s standing up doing a bribery action with his hand for all to see.
I don’t know what is being said. All I know is he’s got a young daughter next to him and clearly not thinking smartly
The mods are boycotting the WC forum..
I actually think he wouldn't have done it in a latin country, and he only did it because he thought Qatar was safe and civilized. The reaction here is mopre surprising, like he's instantly gonna die/get beaten/deported for doing that
Some are so thick they won't even acknowledge it, just 'top banter' in their eyes.
Thread could do with some cleaning up from the mods.
This game is so shit.
Come on Qatar, I put 2-1 to Ecuador on my WC predictions competition.

Have to agree, it is a bit much under the cover of the general negativity surrounding Qatar as host nation.
People in this thread joking about bone saw murder on that Ecuadorian fan that provoked the random Qatari spectators with the hand gesture.
Can't even blame the beer..
Not in recent times. Or perhaps you're not familiar with Indonesian and some South American ultras...
I sense a comeback.
Couldn't care less about this game and the whole world cup.
Bring on United!!
Bring on United!!
Pretty awful game of football. Two teams lacking quality with the ball on the deck.
I have seen poor takes but missed the islamophobic jokes.
Quote them and report them.

he’s obviously just getting overly excited in the moment, but as a father it seems a very irresponsible thing to do. I’ll leave it at that
This has been a bad game.
How will the next World Cup look with 48 teams?

Awful football
First half was decent.
Second half has been dreadful.

Yeah not looking forward to that, will be more poor teams more poor games like today.
Not allowed in the stadium means get drunk before you enter.
The odds of another fan hitting him over it definitely seem much higher at a league game than at this WC. But who knows what could happen if some person with authority saw him and got pissed, when you don't necessarily have human rights to fall back on? Not that there's any indication of that happening in that video. But it's something you should keep in mind before acting up.
This is LVG levels of bad play.
Just watching again and the game is a bit flat. Would be good if Qatar could pull one back just to inject some excitement..
Would be nice seeing some star players from smaller countries like Norway's Haaland and Georgia's Kvaratskhelia. But yeah, not a fan of 48 teams.
Second half has been boring shite.
That is never acceptable. They only shouted at him. The thing is he would have probably been treated a lot worse if he did that in the England end and saying it about England.
Why comment then?
Thank you Ecuador for bringing your A-game for the non-existent World Cup babes thread.
The manager Isn’t eluding much positivity
Very much this.
First half was pretty good, but it's fizzled out.
Only one particular poster is onto it like he’s gonna get stoned for that. The ignorance is astounding. Goes to show the mindset.
Ecuador have gone for the sympathy don't run up the score earlier than you'd have thought they would have.
Well this is shit…
Agree. But Qatar might be happy that they have kept it down to 2 after the start they had.
Why are you posting in the thread of a game you have no interest in?
Good from Qatar there. That's what they should be doing. They look a bit overwhelmed though.
Asia isn't ready for 8 direct spots. There is a massive drop outside the top 3-4 teams
