They can put the under 18s out against Spurs. I’m pretty sure they would try really really hard.
They're defending the club from the attack and they're using whatever tools they've got to hand. Unfortunately, the tools to hand are usually whataboutery and strawman. Because twitter, and 3 minute talkshow radio isn't set up for nuanced debate. (not that a lot of football fans are well versed in nuanced debate)How many voices, in some way, are defending their owners? This is the difference, it's the level at which some of the Mags are getting so defensive about it all and I can't think of any other club that goes to the levels the Mags do.
Have you realised which stand is which yet anarl? It was the to the right of the Middle East stand I posted
The lack of dissenting voices from your ranks on twitter really is noticeable though. For example I saw fans from multiple other clubs (and Oliver Holt from the Mail) questioning Keith Downie's 'generally good people' tweet and lots of your fans piling in on them but none calling him on the others out on it. If you want the perception that all your fans are complicit with and support the regime then a few of you are going to have to start putting your heads above the parapet.
Yes, I realised. It's almost as if regardless of politics the condemnation is universal. As this persists the Mags are going to get increasingly annoyed.
To be fair this lad is. Credit to him.
The LGBTQ statement was a f***ing joke tbf. They practically rolled out the red carpet. I thought LGBTQ groups would have a bit of awareness, a bit of solidarity with others being persecuted in other countries, but seemingly not. Theirs has been the worst stance of all.
Would you care to help me in organizing something to remember Jamal Khasoggi? With the permission of his fiancé. @mag in peace - how about you?
And won't, and that's the true mark of *qualifier alert* the vast majority of them unfortunately.
I thinly getting Amnesty International involved, along with supporters groups across the country and doing a major fundraiser for Yemen would be a great idea tbf. Some good could come out of it, and I do think you'd get a lot of mags donating. It wouldn't be seen as jealous fans lashing out, but would instead be a reminder to the Saudis that their sportswashing won't work and that football fans are generally good people who are never going to share their morals.
Will they though? As one of the bellends on their site says, now that they have attained 'potentially elite status' it's a trade most will be happy to make. ie; their souls for a bit glory.
I agree with all that apart from AI involvement.
I'm not suggesting he wasn't or that there aren't good numbers of others out there. But they'll need to accept that as long as their fans, whether it's a vocal minority or the majority, are swarming all over any criticism of MBS and his regime with an impassioned defence and none of those against it are visible, then they'll be perceived as a group to be in favour.
As far as social media goes it was quite the killer move, offending both humanitarians and hard core Wahhabists as they sprayed their national flag and its sacred Shahadah text with warm beer
Excellent, cheersPlayed lad
. You know I’m going to ask for any response to be posted now!
Aye, but the majority of criticism is. "The fans celebrated the news by wearing headscarves" for example. Anyone who didn't pay that much attention would take from that the crowd was bedecked in Arab-style clothing. When, in fact it's a handful.
