[I am Boss]

I hope all of thise kicking off have never taken a trip to Dubai mind.

Never have. Never will

So I shall continue to kick off every time anyone tries to normalise those places getting involved with English football

1-1
Simms (57)
Shelvey (81)

 

[Ghandi Floss]

Anything to do with the current Saudi regime, country or any club representing it should be avoided.

Exactly this. The club are really dense at times.
Surely someone can see it.

A can’t afford to take a trip to the shops these days man, plus Dubai looks absolutely shit.

 

[Roker Scoreboard]

Née harm done. Just a little match being played while in dubai.

Just sort a match out with Stoke.

 

[Baz]

Looks absolutely shite.

I went with work and would never go back tbf. Strange, strange place.

 

[Ghandi Floss]

Why do some of our lot think Al Qaeda is pronounced Al Ky Eeda?

Because it’s the best way I could get it to rhyme with ‘Leader’.

 

[McGregor]

Just sort a match out with Stoke.

Can't see the club arranging anything with Alex Neil.

 

[bomber]

What's this friendly got to do with making money?

In this instance very little but it shows how how dump they are,they could of picked from dozens of clubs around the world.Point still stands

ffs So you're to blame for them rinsing it.

 

[0321safc]

No way do I want this football club associated with that backwards country.

 

[Monty is my hero]

I'm not really sure why there's so much outrage? It's a Saudi Arabian team, that's it.

 

[Ghandi Floss]

ffs So you're to blame for them rinsing it.

It’s mint chant. Short, concise, and the Mags won’t like the link.
I’m very proud of it.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Sod off Mag

I haven’t. Would not go to countries that treat anyone, whether they be Jews, women, or homosexuals as second class citizens.

Takes the shine off when you're not saying it correctly IMO.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Are they taking the piss?

 

[Nelson!]

Is the club affiliated with the state in any way other than geography? If not then I don’t really see the problem, you can’t judge an entire nation by the state of its rulers.

It would be like saying we won’t play LA Galaxy in a friendly because the Supreme Court overturned abortion rights.

I do agree we could have side-stepped the issue by going to Spain and playing Malaga like.

 

[CissesUnderpants9]

I’m not arsed personally, it’s only a friendly

Same.. its hardly worth the time it takes to create a thread about it.

 

[Ghandi Floss]

Nowt worse than chant jealousy.
