Fairs Cup was still a more prestigious competition. Domestic cup competitions in most countries do not have the same interest as in England. That's why the CWC was abandoned.
No it wasn't more prestigious. You are getting confused with the UEFA cup for which clubs qualified on merit, not on whether the city was holding a trades fair - the UEFA cup is UEFA accredited and organised by UEFA unlike the fairground cup which is not recognised by UEFA as part of a club's European trophy record.

:lol:

The Fairs Cup proper triggers some, like.
 
He's so tedious like I'm a mag and have scrolled past them for weeks now. Waffling on about human rights constantly
This makes a refreshing change.
For the last month I've been constantly told that i don't care about human rights, that i just over look them, that I turn a blind eye to them and ignore them.
Now i'm being told that I constantly waffle on about them. :lol:
 
Doesnt look like hes talking cobblers as you put it. Especially not judging by the replies. #neecans sweetie
we all have different opinions and you are most certainly entitled to yours, for me though he has his facts all wrong.
 
Evidence? How you're right and hes wrong?
I wouldn't call it evidence just an opinion.

he's basing his premise on a WTO document that isn't released so it's hard to have an opinion on it but.....
he believes the WTO document finds the Saudi government responsible for the piracy and or funding it. They are not even making a ruling on that, the ruling was to decide if the Saudi's have been negligent in providing sufficient protection against piracy.
Doing something and not doing enough to stop something are very different things.

He believes that if the Saudi state does something, then as crown prince, Bin Salman has knowledge of it, as he chairs the pif that means he controls the PIF ergo PIF are complicit in anything the Saudi state does.

I think this is the main reason I disagree with him, as far as I can tell the PIF is a separate legal entity that acts autonomously on behalf of the Saudi State to invest it's wealth. As such I think PIF is subject to the O&D test along with who ever it puts forward on the board which I believe is the Governor of the PIF so he would be subject to the test not Bin Salman.
So unless the PIF has directly funded BeoutQ then I don't think there is any issue.

I'm not a barrister though so like I said earlier I could be well wide of the mark.
