    yep because you seemed to moan about players having to do it and being forced into it

    "It's irrelevant now", says someone still talking about the same topic.

    Soon as they’re threatened with a yellow card, it shows just how much they care about their stance.

    It’s all just a PR stunt

    Looks like FIFA have brought in a new rule overnight if players wear the multi coloured arm bands they could be booked, where as up to last night it might carry a fine, are this new lot any different to Blatter & Co not fit for purpose.
    By all means take the knee but if you do anything to inflame the Qataries it will not be tolerated.

    Which goes to show, all these gestures make no difference because when push comes to shove, the players will choose the option of just playing the game. They're in a hugely difficult position which I understand and it wasn't their call to have a winter world cup in Qatar. But... if you want to use the platform you have to drive social change, you have to be willing to see it through when your bluff is called.

    It'll interesting to see which countries favour VAR in this tournament.

    Im saying it now, the decisions already in 2 games so far by VAR, raise serious questions. And whether the beneficiaries just happen to be 2 Arabic countries....

    Incredibly Iran get a much softer penalty. If thats a penalty there would be 10 a game in a typical league 2 game.
