FTFYSaid it before, say it again...
Neil Doncaster is placed on the Uefa Ethics committee.
Wales aren’t outWales are out so should just wear the arm bands against England and the other UEFA teams should back them against any punishment they get.
Bring back David Will, at least he showed some backbone and was proved correct regarding the likes of Warner.It will take one of the biggies, Germany, Brazil, Italy or France to force change.
This.Sick of hearing about the armband to be honest
They aren't beating England 4-0 if they play the game every day until the next world cup.Wales aren’t out
They don’t have to, they can win 1-0 and the other result could see them through.They aren't beating England 4-0 if they play the game every day until the next world cup.
They can go through with any win if Iran and the US draw I think?They aren't beating England 4-0 if they play the game every day until the next world cup.
This is what's truly laughable about it. The West has become a laughing stock with our ability to turn a blind eye to genuine depravity and evil (usually when it's convenient for the business interests of the powerful and wealthy to do so), then kick up a massive fuss (often fighting among each other) over FIFA not allowing a "statement" armband.Nations sat back and watched probably the most corrupt sporting organisation ever seen on the planet, scandalously enrich themselves with bribes, corruption and straight theft, for decades without a whimper.
But, an armband, oh no, that’s a different story. Can’t have that. Now’s the time to step up, now’s the time to act.
Pathetic isn’t a strong enough word.
Exactly.The mental thing about all this is that they are going nuts about an armband for LGBT but not the huge number of immigrants who ACTUALLY DIED building the stadiums.
It just sums up how screwed our priorities are these days. The worst division in the world is between rich and poor, not straight and LGBT. But we won’t address the first one though because our whole house of cards of a society is built on it.
The only thing it would achieve is to narrowly help the chances of Scotland reaching a future World Cup.If the big countries all rallied together and boycotted the World Cup if really would have made a statement.
I don't see one country leaving FIFA having much of an impact.
Bingo.Ffs moaning about an arm band for LGBT shit but nothing about the people who died building the place to help this mob host this WC?
If these FA's have any balls, especially the European nations who hold the power, this World Cup should be the death nail for the FIFA.
The Danes seemed to have led on this armband stuff tbf, they also have historically led the rest of Europe(UK included)Suspect Denmark may be on their own with this.
Ah know man. Imagine being outraged at a country making it illegal to be gay. PC gone mad mate. Can't even lock of people for their sexual preference without a SJW greeting. Mental.This.
Football is being ruined by SJW’s.
No sporting event takes place now without some faux outrage about something somewhere.
The World Cup was crap enough, now we have tossed in some virtue signalling to make it even more unbearable.Sick of hearing about the armband to be honest
I had lunch with Blatter once. He was not the fruitcake he’s made out to be.Bring back Blatter!
Steve ( bye bye Rangers ) Clarke will ensure what you say without having to vote...Scotland should join with them and vote never to appear at the finals of a FIFA event again. Oh wait........
The countries moaning about not being allowed to protest are cowards though. Take the yellow card. Highlight across the world at how bad FIFA is. That's the protest.
Please tellI had lunch with Blatter once. He was not the fruitcake he’s made out to be.
The lot of them, sitting there being paid a fortune banging on about it makes my piss boil. If they were that bothered they could have stayed away. Do as I say not as I do has never been so apt. Qatar was awarded this years ago. Everyone knows it was corrupt but nothing said. The women moaning about the treatment of women whilst pocketing a fortune for being there after playing Sunday football is particularly infuriating.This virtue signalling pish has gone too far. It’s football not a political statement.
New age millennial tits the lot of them.
I had lunch with Blatter once. He was not the fruitcake he’s made out to be.
Good luck to them.This could get interesting
Denmark ready to leave FIFA after 'emergency meeting' with England in OneLove call to arms
The Danish FA wants a "dialogue" with other UEFA nations over the possibility of leaving FIFA after an "emergency meeting" at the England hotel.www.football365.com
Denmark are ready to discuss a blanket withdrawal from FIFA alongside other UEFA nations over the OneLove armbands issue.
The captains of seven European nations were planning on wearing the anti-discrimination armbands to protest against Qatar’s human rights record, but all backed down after FIFA revealed on the eve of the tournament that they would be shown yellow cards for doing so.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday morning, Danish FA (DBU) CEO Jakob Jensen revealed that a yellow card was the “minimum” punishment that captain Simon Kjaer would have faced.
“On November 21, England asked for an emergency meeting with FIFA, who came to the English hotel,” Jensen revealed. “FIFA said it would at least give a yellow card.
“There has been discussion about whether there is a legal basis for giving a yellow card, but there is. The penalty could have been a yellow card, that the captain had not come on the pitch or that he was given a ban.”
The German football association is taking FIFA to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over the ban and now the DBU delegation revealed the “anger” this has caused, and stated they would not formally support current president Gianni Infantino – who is standing unopposed – in his reelection bid.
“There are presidential elections in FIFA. There are 211 countries in FIFA and I understand that the current president has statements of support from 207 countries,” said DBU chairman Jesper Moller. “Denmark is not among those countries. And we’re not going to be either.”
Moller also revealed that Denmark were considering leaving FIFA, and were willing to discuss this with all 55 member states of the organisation.
“It is not a decision that has been made now. We have been clear about this for a long time. We have been discussing it in the Nordic region since August,” he said.
“I’ve thought it again. I imagine that there may be challenges if Denmark leaves on its own. But let us see if we cannot have a dialogue on things.“I have to think about the question of how to restore confidence in FIFA. We must evaluate what has happened, and then we must create a strategy – also with our Nordic colleagues.”
