The "delighted Ashley has gone, but uncomfortable with Saudi ownership" thread
Smal replied to UncleBingo's topic in Football
There will definitely be an element of that, but calling Crystal Palace fans making a stand against Saudi Arabian state ownership hypocritical just because someone involved in their club’s ownership is also bad (in a significantly lesser way) is simply ridiculous. Accept the criticisms because they’re true, valid and important. The motivation behind them is not at all important. Once you start trying to pick holes in it you’re lost. -

We really need to stop trying to find criticisms for people pointing out human rights abuses, or their dead husband, or war crimes. It’s a really fucking bad look and is absolutely evidence of successful sportswashing. -

It’s not hypocrisy at all ffs. -
Think we’ll be a lot better once we get Clarke out of the team. He was absolutely horrendous for their goal. Weak as piss attempt to dispossess Gallagher immediately followed by shit marking on the cross. He’s finished.

Aye, hope we see similar every week tbh -
Would put Almiron for Longstaff and play Almiron - Hayden - Fraser. Need legs in those outside mid position in this formation.
-
Must've realised they actually like the state cheerleading
-
The plan is obviously counter. The midfield are playing high risk passes rather than for possession. They're still shit at it like, but don't expect any possession from us.
-
I don't really get Fraser over Almiron in this system at all . He must've been awesome in training.
-
We are deep but pressing them well once they get to a certain line. There's some tactics on display for once at least.
-
Hoping it's a back four with Manquillo LB and Krafth RB but that's an awful team whichever way it lines up.
-
What a shit state of affairs that it's either Ritchie or Lewis for that position . Terrible.
-
I wonder if we might finally sign Per Ciljan Skjelbred.
-
Glad those dickhead fans in tea towels have had a shit afternoon tbh.
-
Of course he’s got a massive range rover for absolutely no reason. Shithead.

Oh no mate, you can’t say that because the UK government that you obviously must love sells them guns!!! -

Well the West obviously but I don’t think anybody here is saying they’re in favour of that so I don’t see what it has to do with this debate. If it’s your attempt at saying people uncomfortable with the takeover are being hypocritical because they’re citizens of the west it’s a terrible effort at a gotcha. -

I don’t really see how western politics comes into this debate at all. They can say it’s not all they want but it’s the state of Saudi Arabia funding us. No western state is funding a football team afaik so I don’t get why they’re being brought into it. -

I honestly can’t believe what I’m seeing. “Support Saudi sportswashing like me or fuck off and don’t watch football ever again”. -
Andorra just elbowing players in the face and getting away with it. Mad.
