You’d think he’d know better and have a burner account though plus Alex is a smokeshow so gets a pass. Also, as we see with everything unless you’re 100% pure people will get very angry and complain you’re a hypocrite. Look at the state of the discourse around supporting Newcastle not too mention far bigger subjects. If I were famous I’d get the same. I’ve been to countries ran by all sorts of rancid cunts on holiday but have strong opinions on this, that and the other that would go against that. It’s modern discourse in a tweet, which is apt.

I just learned what 'smokeshow' means. Feel like I'm down with the kids. No-one should be expected to live a utopian life of virtuous purity - but the shouts of 'hypocrite' are fucking stupid, as the shouter is in all likelihood no less of one. A LGBTQI+ woman wants to make a gesture to highlight the fact that Qatar has monstrous policies which can punish people with death for the terrible crime of being themselves; 'hypocrite' shouts the twitter wankers. And Reuben can get to fuck supporting that shite, little Tory wanker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) Not to defend our twatish owners whataboutery, it's hardly the greatest sin, just as her wearing the armband is positive but not the bravest thing in the world either really, just a nice gesture. I do actually think people should have second thoughts holidaying in these places if they have moral qualms about it all really, but again, hardly cause for inciting anger on social media that will no doubt be horrendous while pretending to be progressive.

Darth Crooks Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 It puts me off I must admit. I'm quite well travelled and open minded but covering women up to the degree some do and oppression of groups such as Queer people makes me far less inclined. Rather go to Mexico or Greece if its just to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and of course people should think about this stuff. ‘A cheap holiday in other people’s misery’ and all that. Mrs BB and I holidayed in a dictatorship once (Egypt) and felt miserable throughout - never again for me; it made me feel unpleasant. But when our owners are ‘liking’ this shite online, it makes me question their sincerity about a some of the gestures the club makes; after all, we know who owns the majority stake.

Abacus Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) You can be delighted for the Saudis without needing to link anything to NUFC. It's a huge sporting upset, and one they deserved, against a tournament favourite. And in what was probably the best match of what has been a pretty stale tournament so far. You don't have to agree with their regime, or anything else, to be able to enjoy that. As for Qatar, I was happy they lost but that's due to how the tournament was awarded to start with and how it has been conducted since.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) The result is really amazing, I just wish it didn't involve Saudi so idiots in our fanbase wouldn't need to get involved. Edited November 22, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
