GM Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 That young community worker was a credit to the young people in this country I thought. I think I want him, David Beckham, and Prince William to rule this country. You should really see your GP about getting some testosterone injections, mate.

Superior Acuña Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I don't like how the campaign video just shows clips of 'big four'/man city/spurs. Surely one of the great things about english football is how well supported lower prem teams such as ourselves and the lower tiers are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpal78 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Nice to see so many people in this country willimg to turn a blind eye to corruption so long as we get to see some s**** like Togo versus Ukraine at St James' Park That's right keep on convincing yourself that the BBC program will end of corruption in FIFA and those criticizing it are just turning a blind eye to corruption. Have a look at BBC's statement "Delay until after the bid was not an option once it became clear that the winning nations might have been chosen by officials with a proven track record of corruption. The programme has uncovered new evidence linking current, long-serving members of the FIFA executive committee with systemic corruption." So what did they seek to achieve by screening it before the vote? Were they really expecting that somehow FIFA would suspend voting because of BBC's allegation? Don't be naive man. There would not have been an material difference (in terms of stopping corruption) had BBC screened the show after the vote. The only thing achieved by screening before the vote was to damage England's chances and get some cheap sensationalism for BBC, nothing else. I happen to believe that exposing the corrupt is not only worthwhile but essential, especially for an institution such as the BBC. I doubt it will end corruption but does that make the show any less newsworthy. Screening the show after the vote would've been pathetic, a total cop out. I don't disagree with your first sentence. What you have yet to demonstrate though is how is screening before the vote better/more effective in terms of whatever you want to achieve vis-a-vis corruption. The same program after we lose the bid would look to the rest of the world like sour grapes. FIFA would say that if we thought there was corruption why didn't we bring it up before the vote so they could do something about it, we're obviously just bitter about losing and use that to dismiss the allegations and sweep it under the carpet. They'll still dismiss the allegations and try to sweep it under the carpet, but at least now the dismissal of it can be seen as the self-serving attempt to hang onto their own cushy numbers it is without allowing them to use the sore loser excuse. You made a fair point. But then the only value you get by screening pre vote is people's perception of FIFA since we both agree that either way FIFA aint gonna do squat about corruption. Now balance that marginal value against the huge economic loss that England will suffer if the show has a detrimental affect on the voting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Are Qatar super-rich when it comes to footy? Would be cool to see them establish a network of swanky new stadiums, 2002 stylee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their plan is to have temporary stadiums. Theres a video of them on Youtube, and they are pretty swish, but they are to be taken apart and moved elsewhere afterwards I believe.

Yorkie Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 That sounds like bollocks; where's the romance there? Infact, where's the romance in staging the World Cup in a country like Qatar anyway?
