You have repeatedly spouted the line "nobody convicted of paedophilia should be near a football club", in a not so veiled dig at SAFC over the Adam Johnson disgrace?

However, as it is common place in Saudi Arabia and until recently sexual congress was legal at any aged if married, and although on paper that has changed, there's more holes in the law than in a particularly ripe Gruyere, you will not speak against an owner who would have been arrested and charged and found guilty in the UK?

I'm sorry, but to me whether illegal or not, having sex with children is wrong. But you can keep on defending it. You are morally bankrupt.

I haven't defended anything that happens in Saudi. I've admitted I'm willfully ignorant to it and just want my team to compete. I also said hopefully owning a PL club increases the scrutiny around them and their culture rather than sportswashes it

You're embarrassing yourself.

You can speak out about your ownership and denounce what happens in Saudi and still support your football team. You bury your head all for a bag of gold.

Corruption where? Who? I think the consortium had a watertight case otherwise it wouldn't have gone through. The PL tried their best to block it for over a year. Then finally conceded when we looked buried and championship bound.

If you don't know the answer to either question then you're extremely naive.

I suppose you've got a Tesla? Otherwise you're doing the same everytime you fill the tank.

You just keep consoling yourself with this newly found outrage to cover the resentment.
Let me ask you, if you are so bothered about the Saudis, why dont you do something about it other than cry arsing all day on a SAFC message board ?

If you aren’t bothered why are you on here?
Phil_Harmonic said:
That just isn't true. I certainly (and many others) had issue with the Saudis pre-takeover, it just wasn't discussed on here as it wasn't relevant to football.

Thee are threads on the SMB about the KSA record on human rights and the war in Yemen long before the mags spread their arse cheeks and bent over for them.

I'll have a problem with pif if they stop the club participating in rainbow laces campaigns and such. As long as they're buying into the club's values then it's fine with me.

Having a world cup where it's illegal to be gay is abhorrent. We're still waiting for a Premier league player to come out, what chance do we have with Fifa making decisions like that?


Legal separation exists.

No it doesn't. Claiming that it's separate doesn't mean it is.
