The intolerance of homosexuals in Qatar wasn't something that even crossed my mind when the country was announced as the host for 2022.
As far as I'm concerned, this is yet another reason why it was a stupid decision to award them the World Cup.
What's the view in H&V-land?
Should FIFA take into account whether a host country has discriminatory laws ?
[EDIT - just realised that when England awarded the 1966 World Cup, this country also had such laws]
-
The thought here is that Blatter couldn't be more of an obnoxious ****** if he tried.
-
I despise him. He looks like the bastard child of Phil Collins and Bob Hoskins come back from some evil future to ruin football.
I'm not saying I want him to get hit by a bus or anything though because that would be terrible. Really terrible.
-
Of course they should take it into account, they've awarded a World Cup to a country that classes being born a certain way illegal.
Fat greedy morons.

My love of modern football dies a little bit every day. I just won't be bothering with international football in any form any more.

Agree Martin.
I lost interest in the national side ages ago, unless it's Villa involved I no longer have much interest in football matches full stop.
-
Do they not know that any hole's a goal?
This Qatar decision just sticks in my throat.

I followed England all around the World watching them play. I gave up after the Japan world cup. I can't even watch them on TV now... it's shit.

i lost my concern for it a long time ago...

Why did they have to award it to Qatar anyway with that much heat even with air conditioning it's going to be unbearable.

Incredible quote from Blatter
Fifa president Sepp Blatter says gay fans travelling to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar should "refrain from any sexual activities".
He might just as well have said 'No gays allowed.'
-
Maybe the Swiss should refrain from laundering and profitting from such monies as Nazi gold.
-
"Qatar gave us a shit load of money and all manner of gifts and endorsements, so they can hang gays up by their goolies with cheesewire for all I care" said the ethusiastic FIFA chief. Allegedly.
-
i am not surprised it didnt cross his mind, as he was far too busy counting little sheets of paper to think about such things...
him and warner are disgraceful horrid little men...
-
It's almost worth going gay for the month just to annoy FIFA/Blatter.
I know he/they answer to no-one but I can't see how he can carry on after coming out with a load of shit like this. It's 2010 for god's sake.
-
It's 2010 for god's sake.
Not in Qatar it isn't. It's 1432.
-
glad our bid lost. Should never have entered in the first place. You'd be hard pressed to find a competition and voting process with less credibility this side of the X-Factor. As for Qator and their gay laws, i'm sure they'll bend over backwards *cough* to accomodate them for length of the competition in return for all that filthy money. I believe its also a alcohol free country but you can bet you'll be able to get beer as long as you don't rub their noses in it
-
I like the quote at the end: "This is development of football and don't speak about money".
Apart from anything else, if all that guff he spouted about not wanting racism or discrimination meant anything, this issue alone should have been enough to fuck Qatar's bid. What a bloated, hypocritical shit the man is!
It makes me realise what it must be like to support New-CAssel under Ashley- a complete meglomaniac at the top pissing on everyone below him.

I was going to say that Blatter was in the shit

Fair point.
-
He really is slimy isnt he? Everytime i see him he gets more and more like Jabba the Hut.

Qatar follows Sharia law so being gay wouldn't be the only worry. Nick or shag anything and expect to lose the relevant bodily appendages. But seeing as no-one can drink the temptations should be minimal.

A gay mate of mine says he only gets laid when drunk, so Qatar should be no problem for him.

Someone I know spent a bit of time in the middle east in the army. He said it's women for breeding, men for pleasure... and that's just in the army... :P

It's too hot for Bum Fun anyway.
-

You'd have thought he ( and his mates) would have an interest in the 'pink pound' though.
Maybe it's not as strong as it was ?
-
You actually can drink in Qatar, in hotels and 'sports clubs'. I know because I've done it. It's a bit pricey, though. Haven't done the gay thing, so I can't comment, but heterosexual 'contact' in public is also illegal.
Holding hands in public with a girl, especially if you're not married, could be a problem. Kissing or hugging her in public would be a crime with a prison sentence. Oddly, however, given the country's - and whole region's - stance on homosexuality, holding hands with men in public is absolutely fine, in fact, normal for many men. Anything more amorous than that, though, and you'll be sent to prison, with a massive bunch of men. Which seems a silly place to send a man if you don't want him getting too close to other men.
Yes, it's a fucking silly world we live in.

Qatar decision is like a turd in a punch bowl!

Instead of watching Tottenham v Chelsea on Sunday, i switched between the Snooker and the Mosconi cup. Villa or nothing (exception of barcelona) for me.

Step Ladder is a cock of the highest order. He's turning FIFA into even more of a joke. He insulted Ireland year when they broached the idea of a replay, he is a c**t and the sooner someone shoulders him out of the way the better. He must be on the take. Despicable human.
Now where are my chaps?....
-
I have never liked Sepp Blatter or indeed Fanny his wife.

Because people don't choose to go gay for a month?
I found it funny nonetheless.

Agree 100% 8 Ace. I used to watch whatever football was on telly religiously. Now I don't even usually bother with MOTD unless Villa are on, and even then usually only up to the Villa game.
-
Sepp doesn't like gays anyway.
He's well known for being a fanny Blatter.
EDIT Morrissey beat me to it, the Chiselling cad!

Exactly.
I'll speed through the recording to the Villa game, pausing only if the Dog shit or Stripeyfilth have been beaten.

Don't know about gays being made uncomfortable in Qatar.
What would happen if Israel qualify?

Why did they have to award it to Qatar anyway with that much heat even with air conditioning it's going to be unbearable.
Isn't it being pulled forward to Feb to avoid the + 50c temps ?
-

At every hotel in Doha, the upholstery clashes with the curtains. Fact
-

Excellent!
-
How did Sepp Blatter become Top Dog in Fifa as lot of people doesn't like him.
-
probably the same way that jack warner became vice president... by surrounding himself with his own yes man cronies and bullying anyone who doesnt agree with him...
-

Not a chance, the leagues would never agree to it. You've got more chance of George Michael rocking up at the opening ceremony.

It seems to me that the only person in a position of power anywhere in the world that has even a shred of dignity and credibility is Berlusconi.

I guess it never was. Sexual preferance is not a choice. It is how you are and can't be something else for a little bit and than revert back! However I accept the original comment was made in gest for amusement!

I know someone who was a Lesbian for a year.

Are you sure it's not bisexuality?
-
No that was it as far as I know, never before or after.
-

Did you change her ??
-
No that was it as far as I know, never before or after.
It's still bisexuality isn't it, no matter what the length of time. Greedy if you ask me.
-
I dunno really, I cant say I've given it much thought but I'd say Elton John was gay rather than bisexual despite him being married to a woman at some point.
-
I feel like going to Qatar and *acting flamboyantly* just to annoy Sepp Blatter.
Of course, my idea of flamboyance is the use of coloured wood stain on outdoor furniture
-
I dunno really, I cant say I've given it much thought but I'd say Elton John was gay rather than bisexual despite him being married to a woman at some point.
Elton John was living a lie though, he didn't just decide to have a bit of of a dabble. If I suddenly decide to have a bash at a bloke it would suggest bisexuality, but getting married to hide the real you (not you) is something different.
Anyway, how about Sepp Blatter the fat twat.

I think he's already married.

What about Katy Perry then? She kissed a girl and she thinks she liked it.

I bet Blatter would dance the chocolate cha cha for a few quid ;)

Yeah its way to hot there can you imagine bumming in that heat.

Always allow the melon to cool down after getting it out of the microwave.
-
Rushing off to the job centre so no time to read all the pages of this thread but has anybody commented that, as a student, Blatter was a founder member of the Stockings and Suspenders Preservation Society?
If they were to be preserved for women he is well worthy of a second look by the Qatar authorities if the society was - heaven forbid - to preserve them as male attire the hypocrisy is is almost as breathtaking as the award to Qatar in the first place.
-

Well I wouldn't want to bum in that heat would you? FIFA really should take these things into consideration before choosing hosts.
-

No, i dressed up and called myself Sheila. The sex was great but mostly fat mingers, with short hair, walking in the prison service.

I was waiting for a colleague to join me in a pub the other day and a very drunk man parked himself at the table taking great pains to announce to me that he was bisexual.
It's been a long time since a man tried to pull me. I obviously haven't lost it.

Should have won the Green Jersey in the Tour de France

Well I wouldn't want to bum in that heat would you? FIFA really should take these things into consideration before choosing hosts.
I'm not entirely sure I'd want to bum in any temperature. mind you, I haven't actually tried it so you might be right.

I think you'd get away with it if you called it something else. How about 'taking banter in the fan zone'
-
Or as its in Qatar it could simply be called 'drilling for oil'
-
Blatter with a classic "non apology, apology"; saying that "if somebody feels that they have been hurt, then I regret it and present apologies".
My reading of this is that he's not sorry for what he said only that people were offended by it.

Another bum note from Blatter.
-
Playing with a big man up front
-
FIFA's plans are all to cock if you ask me.
-
Blatter should certainly be apologising for awarding the World Cup to Qatar in the first place. Personally, I can't stand the bloke, but advising homosexuals to abstain from homosexual activity in Qatar in 2022 is actually spot on. It's illegal there and carries harsh penalties.

Although part of being granted the World Cup is that FIFA reserve the right to change any laws that don't suit them for the duration of the tournament.
He could have asked them to start to crawl out of the Middle Ages or they weren't getting it.

He should have, but I fear the enormous mountain of oil & gas money that was transported to his secret lair on a freight ship from the Gulf might have persuaded him otherwise.

Blatter is a disgrace. Blatent bribe taker. He knew what the rules are in Qatar, and homosexuality is a current issue within the game, (in that I mean people dont want to come forward and admit it, a terrible state of affairs) yet decides to still go ahead with their bid. Qatar makes its own rules, granted, but globally, is it acceptable for Blatter and his cronies to go ahead, and instill this on players? The game globally, barely takes racism seriously. Not a good message to the younger generation.

I'm sure Blatter sent for 007,000,000,000,000. Qatari riyals.

Just so I'm clear on this, is there going to be bumming world cup tourment held in Qatar or not?

You're right but only up to a point. FIFA delegates are like diplomats and so any laws of a nation will be overlooked if transgressed by squeaky clean FIFA.

Sorry to deflect the thread from the very stimulating bumming theme but how are these 80,000 seater air conditioned stadiums going to be transported to the african destinations which we are told are to be their final resting place?
Either they are being knocked together by IKEA and will arrive in the gulf complete with a lorry load of allan keys a small tanker of superglue and six jumbo jets full of incomprehensible pages of diagrams or
Amazon are going to make them into ultra massive books which when you open them up jumps an 80,000 seater air condition football stadium. Then when the tournament is abandoned due to the entire Norway team dying of heat stroke in their first game the books will be closed and shipped up the Congo, Nile, Niger, Limpopo and Rhine (Blatter's personal keepsake).
-
I asked that question after the bid was won, just what Africa needs, a job lot of air conditioned stadia.
They probably just said that to get the world cup a bit like the plan to now move it to winter, if it wasn't so blatanly corrupt it would be funny.
-
Blatter should have clarified, if any gay fans want to get fucked in the ass, they should try bidding for a World Cup.

Couldn't resist adding something about Blatter which I saw in today's Independent - he was once president of the World Society of Friends of Suspender Belts. And let's not forget this was the man who, by way of fostering interest in women's football, suggested that they wear tighter shorts and low cut shirts!

The only thing that shows though is that reporters from the Independent shouldn't just lift things from Wikipedia without double-checking them first.

They didn't need to check its true, he was some sort of cheerleader for women wearing suspender belts and stockings. Nice work if you can get it.....

Are you sure? Because the only reference to the story (or even the organisation) is either on Blatter's Wikipedia page or fora like this one referencing the Wikipedia page.
