Heartwork Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Given his ambitions to enter politics in the future, this should really be the moment where it hits home for Gary just how negatively the Qatar World Cup and anyone going to promote it are being received by the public. Voters have long memories (well, unless you're a Tory in which case 5 minutes ago is ancient history) and won't forget his taking Qatari blood money.

Mr Adam Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 In Neville’s defence is he actually going to “promote” it? Hes not doing some sort of ambassador role is he? If he’s just commentating on it and being paid by a broadcaster then he’s no more questionable than any of the players playing in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe he plans to formally enter politics. Will voice his opinion a lot but don’t think he’ll run for any formal position in politics.

Smallen Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I think Neville’s heart is in the right place. You don’t do what he did during the pandemic if it’s not. He’s just a bit dim and naive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalution Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I think his heart is in the right place right up until it affects him personally. If he'd been given no opportunity to go to Qatar he'd most likely take Hislop's position that you can criticise while staying at home, but now that he's got an opportunity he's just gonna cognitive dissonance his way into justifying it. 10 hours ago, Mr Adam said: In Neville’s defence is he actually going to “promote” it?

If he’s just commentating on it and being paid by a broadcaster then he’s no more questionable than any of the players playing in it I wouldn't say its the same - i can understand with any player its always possible, and in some cases incredibly likely, that this will be their only/last opportunity to play in a world cup, where as Nev will have plenty more to commentate on. Also I wouldn't even say the two are comparable in their importance anyway 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD nawrat Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The crazy thing is that all of these stadiums have been built at great expense (financially, of course, but at what cost to human life?) and what is going to happen with them after the WC?

I'm willing to bet it happened in South Africa too, although i don't actually know. Thank you for reminding me that they're referred to as White Elephants, couldn't recall the term at all e: yeah the link in the tweet you posted says that the last 3 hosts all had this issue. Quote One of the World Cup stadiums in Qatar is named after the Persian Gulf country’s international dialing code — 974 — and another is called “Education City.” They’re unusual names that hardly sound like they have links to soccer, and after the tournament many no longer will. Qatar built seven of its eight lavish World Cup stadiums and heavily renovated another. The smallest World Cup host nation since Switzerland in 1954, Qatar has a population of 2.6 million, with only 360,000 Qatari citizens, and a limited domestic league. So it’s questionable it needs so many large venues after the tournament, especially after the past three World Cups — in South Africa, Brazil and Russia — exposed several stadiums without long-term use. At least Stadium 974 in Ras Abu Aboud won’t become a white elephant, since it will disappear. The 40,000-seat arena located port-side just east of Doha was made from recycled shipping containers — 974 of them. The demountable, energy-efficient stadium will make way for a waterfront business development. Go them Edited November 7, 2022 by JD nawrat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggressive minor Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 18 hours ago, InigoPatinkin said: If he was just doing it as part of his obligations to a UK broadcaster then fair enough... it's still the World Cup and part of the reason states target events like this is because it's impossible to pull yourself out of the vortex sometimes. He's working for a Qatari state owned broadcaster though, there's no defence nor reason for that and unless he plans to go absolutely nuclear during his commentary of the final or something like that he must know nobody is going to take his claims of "highlighting the issue" seriously. It's depressing sometimes to live long enough to find out the least weird/shady of the Co92 is the one who bites off his daughters toe nails.
