Gary Neville

It’s easy to do it on ITV and not BEIN.

Also he’s a virtually signalling thick head. Migrant workers in Qatar are treated much worse than our striking nurses and postman and that’s a fact.

He’s tried to take the moral high ground and made himself look thick.

Absolutely this, imagine comparing the two.

Who is Sophie Corcoran? Looking at what she says it sounds like a parody account.
Nothing Gary Neville has said there is wrong.

She's a young lass having a go at positioning herself as the next Katie Hopkins as far as I can tell.

Whether she actually believes what she says or is just looking to make a living out of it I have no idea.
 
Just because he jumped on the oil money train in the end doesn't mean he can't comment on shite at home.
He let himself down going out there but he's still spot on with affairs at home. Still a good lad but tainted.

He may be but this needed to be said before the WC and there needed to be boycotts etc. It was exactly the same when Southgate said the people who built the stadiums wanted it to go ahead. Football needs to stop pretending it has moral values, things like rainbow laces and anything like that because all that matters is money. Its so easy for Neville to pontificate from the TV studio but lets be clear that's all he does - pontificate. Football is rotten and all the TV companies, Sky, the Premier League are all in cahoots with it. Nothing will change in Qatar or in Saudi Arabia when they, no doubt, get a future World Cup. Neville may be correct but talk is cheap and that is all we get from Gary Neville.

They're paying him to talk about workers rights?

They're paying him (£1.6m) to talk about football. Instead he's given a party political broadcast on workers rights, from a stadium that 1000s of workers lost their lives constructing.

He doesn't care about workers rights, or human rights for that matter. He only cares about his bank balance, as he's proven. He's probably the biggest hypocrite out there.
 
If people know anything about Neville, they'll know that he uses his platforms to discuss many of the wrongs in society. There aren't enough people in the world doing this, and he chooses to do so knowing many don't like it. He's not pandering to the tv bosses; he isn't pandering to the masses who have the wool pulled over them daily.

They both can't be true

Well they are. If he cared so much about workers rights he could have taken a stand and sat this tournament out. They waved £1.6m in front of his nose and he couldn't get on the plane quick enough. If he has you fooled then that's your problem.

I actually work with a lad who is football daft but hasn't watched a single second of the world cup because of the issues he has with Qatar. That's a man with principles. Neville isn't.

He lost all credibility when he put his hand out for a whole load Qatari Riyal. I’ve got no problem with him doing that but his opinion and words meant nothing after that .

why would words mean nothing after that? words are still words. valid points are still valid points.

I have criticised him for taking Qatari money, but i am able to separate that from a viewpoint on UK based nurses striking

Was Sophie Cockend watching the Qatar world cup then?

I thought she'd have been one of these types who boycotted it.
