Rompe

Are you complaining? I am hereby formally complaining about this match. Disgrace!

You should object to it. So should everyone, nobody should support that shambolic World Cup.

A lot of balls on those Spurs fans to criticize us, considering their owner actively tried to sell the club to KSA. It didn't happen, but still, A LOT OF BALLS!

A lot of balls on those Crystal Palace fans to criticize us considering that a minority owner of them is working for Blackstone, and that company has taken money from Saudi-Arabia Got absolutely nothing to do with their club, or football at all for that matter, but still, A LOT OF BALLS!

Well, as we seen with us, I guess a lot of them would be on twitter trying to find a way to explain why it's actually good to be owned by Saudi-Arabia, and that Saudi-Arabia isn't really that bad of a state anyway. Oh and they would also be pointing out that Saudi-Arabia also has a small ownership in several other companies as well, so it's all just hypocrisy and envy from other fans.

You can show opposition towards this takeover and the Saudi-Arabian government without donating to Amnesty.

This is a joke right?

So they can't show their opposition to the takeover or the Saudi Arabian regime without collecting money for Amnesty International? How does that work?

What? Completely diabolical performance. They're Crystal Palace, not Bayern Munich. Deserved absolutely nothing today.

I agree with your last sentence, we shouldn't support it. And what is the difference in jokingly waving a Saudi flag and waving it sincerely, and how do you tell from the outside? It's the optics, you can't tell whether it's done as a joke or in complete seriousness and it looks horrible either way.

We shouldn't celebrate Saudi-Arabia. Which is what the great majority of our fanbase understands, but sadly not all.

Some people actually still care about Manchester City owners and use pretty much every possible situation to complain about them.

Was that when he made the previous one about the Saudi-Arabia takeover?

That's fine. I've just been seeing a lot of "well the government does business with them" and "if the PL is fine with it then it's ok with me", which I think is just lazy. In the end though you are right, there isn't a lot we as fans can do about it anyway.

You can be opposed to both the takeover and the government deals with Saudi-Arabia was my point.

Are you not opposed to your country selling them weapons though?

Good point this, if you view Newcastle United as strictly a business.

Possibly, but they will still be allowed to buy the clubs, and there is nothing that can or should be done about it.

We're not owned by a Saudi Arabian company, so that's a strange comparison. We're owned by Saudi Arabia itself.

Can't wait for Assad to buy Watford or ISIS to buy Norwich, in this free-for-all market. Will we then see the same over the top reaction to those deals as we have to ours? I doubt it.

Well done Italy! Deserved winners and congratulations to any italians on here I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but surely there's no point in subbing on players to take a penalty in a shootout? Added pressure etc.

"In my view" means that my opinion is that the "foul" should not have been called. It doesn't matter what the ref or VAR said, it doesn't influence my opinion or view in the slightest. Referees makes mistakes, so does VAR-referees, I believe they made a mistake in this situation. You can't negate that with "no actually it was a penalty because it was called, and referees never ever make mistakes, so you are wrong".

Agree to disagree then, in my view that's never ever a penalty.

Sorry, english isn't my first language, did i use the wrong word?

Nothing wrong with celebrating getting to the final at all. Good for all of you, no problem. But it was a dive, there is no need to try and whitewash everything your country/national team does, it was a dive, you're through, great work!
