Abacus Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 They are clearly hoping for a bit of investment / sponsorship / interest from the Middle East by piggybacking on our owners. No other reason for them to choose to play a Saudi club. They probably also had to pay the Saudis to sportswash their image, because there's no conceivable benefit in the KSA being associated with the awful Wearside regime.

Joey Linton Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The other point to all of this of course is that were it not for our owners being who they are absolutely none of them would have raised their friendly as being inappropriate.

Dancing Brave Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 "Sometimes I cannot understand how tone deaf our club can be." https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/sunderland-will-face-saudi-arabian-opposition-al-shabab-in-friendly.1593942/ The club isn't deaf it just knows it's fans are jealous as fuck and full of faux outrage.

Abacus Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I do sympathise with the travelling fans though. It's seven hour flight at least, plus transfers, to the stadium. Pretty gruelling to be holding it in all that time before they can take a nice relaxing shit in their seat. Here's to the Turtles' Head Trophy.

Danh1 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The Mackems on RTG against the friendly aren’t so because of their moral compass, but more because they know that this is going to be thrown at them whenever they talk about hyewman rights.

midds Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I'd be betting that the fixture never actually takes place due to the objections of the fans. They'll then double down and froth at the mouth twice as hard for twice as long.

They all have a good whinge on their forum and that’s about it. Then again, that was when it was about them. This is more about us, their number one priority so you’re probably right.

RtG and Twitter meltdowns might be enough tbh.
