NUFC and other Sportswashing Spring 2022

Not open for further replies.

I see or hear little to be honest. Look at today, the news is full of the UK / Saudi relationship and how we’re looking to secure an oil deal, very very little on anything else NUFC related.
Plus it was rival fans I was specifically referring too who in the main have not mentioned it in the way of chants etc.
You may have felt sorry for their victims if they didnt "own " you. Now you are part of the low life.
 
Whilst Boris and his Tory pals are supplying arms to KSA and begging them for oil there won’t be sanction. However, we’ll see how the political landscape changes the longer this conflict goes on as KSA are an ally of Russia. That’s when things may get awkward.
The KSA will see absolutely nothing wrong with playing both sides off against each other if it makes them money. It’s what they do.
So we are going to be reliant on another dictatorship
Aye. Got it in one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’m quite suprised that not one set of fans we’ve played against has made a big deal over human rights etc. I presume it just sort of bypasses majority of football fans.
You wish
I think all charges were dropped. Some say it was Stavely that rang the police! :lol:
Pissed off cos she wasn’t on the banner.

Ken Costa, the Eton Mess' special envoy to Saudi just been on 5live trying to justify the visit to Saudi.

Costa: "We are trying to find a resolution to the war in Yemen"

5live: "What by selling them £1.5bn of weapons to fight that war"?

Got rinsed. What an absolute arse of a man. Bombard his Twitter Lads
Not only that but the Tory government last year slashed aid to Yemen by 60%. In the middle of a humanitarian crisis caused by Mohammad bin salman. And now they are once again sucking his dick.
 
Prem to be asked about assurances Toon gave over Saudi role in club via
I’d be amazed if the PL or the government did anything about the Saudis. Absolutely gob smacked. What will shift them is public opinion, and the media ( assuming no government intervention there) If enough bad publicity is generated they will realise that their sportswashing attempt is drawing mostly negative attention they’ll jack it in and piss off somewhere else.
:lol::lol::lol:
 
So that is a Tory MP Julian Knight, who is the chair of that select committee, and he is pressing the Tory sports minister for an answer, and seems to be making him a bit uncomfortable.

I was aware that SNP MP John Nicholson was on that committee, as I can recall mags abusing him online for his criticism of the takeover.

I wasn’t aware that Sunderland Central MP Julie Elliot is also a member of the committee. I’m sure she wrote a letter demanding to know why it hadn’t gone through when it looked like the plug had been pulled. Has she said anything at all about that takeover apart from that? The local Labour MPs have been worse than useless on this.
The majority of them supported the deal.
No idea what this even says ‘Sheanen’s’ maybe
