SUPERTOON Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 If they were going to knock it back point blank at these findings they'd have done so already. Someone suggested that they would have needed the official report and not the draft version to use as evidence to knock it back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I suppose the next few days will be telling. If they are going to knock it back, it'll be in the next few days. If they still haven't then surely this suggests they're looking for a solution? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they still haven't then surely this suggests they're looking for a solution? Or that it has failed and PIF have appealed. The PL won't publicly announce any pass or fail, so we could at any point be in the appeals stage. We could be there already.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloydianMag Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 It’s only about the ODT test on PIF, the rest of the stuff you mention is your opinion, whataboutery and ifs and buts. I've literally quoted the test from the PL's website and highlighted the relevant bits. You have your head so far in the sand it's hilarious, though I understand why as I we all want this to go through but so many have lost the ability to think critically and objectively over this. I'm not willing to spend my day going in circular arguments so I'll just say as I've said to others when I've reached this point: Time will tell, and I hope for the sake of this club and my own enjoyment that I'm wrong. I'll be delighted to be wrong, genuinely, but I maintain my stance which I've had since this first all started. OK private Fraser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PL won't publicly announce any pass or fail, so we could at any point be in the appeals stage. We could be there already.... I think that an initial (public) rejection and a (successful) appeal, based on lack of factual evidence is the most likely possibility now. Also completely agree with your other post re: the obvious link between PIF and MBS / Saudi gov. I'm another one who has shared the same concerns since the moment it become evident Qatar are throwing money to stop this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Also the people saying the WTO is only looking at if SA could have done more to stop the piracy not who is behind it how do you come to that conclusion without having some understanding of how it's happening & who is doing it otherwise how do you come to a conclusion?
