Depends if we ignore the 6k plus deaths as collateral damage? But yes other than that they can. If you don't mind it disrupting national leagues and most seem not to mind. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m only prepared to concern myself with industrial accidents in Qatar if …. 1. They can be substantiated 2. The same attention is given to similar deaths in every other country Otherwise I’ll manage to live with it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started off thinking that way, but I've been working from home and have been gradually drawn into it. The first two matches today were belters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 5,173 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 The promise of a sensational ending lured me into watching the last ten minutes of France v Tunisia. The lady commentator kept on about the Tunians. Who they? VAR was technically right to chalk off the French goal but a lot happened between Griezman getting back from an offside position and driving it into the net. There were about two minutes left for play. The ref blew for full time. Then the VAR issue came up. Thank God I’m a fan of neither the French nor the Tunians. For one lot, Elation/Despair. For the other, Elation/Despair/Elation - then more Despair because the other result meant they were out no matter what. Pity that a minimal offside can’t be overruled by the artistic or technical merit of the disallowed goal but who’s to judge that? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
