Michel Platini questioned by anti-corruption investigators - World Cup to Qatar 2022

[tony260674]

Thousands of foreign workers have died building those stadiums, calling it a Hovel is being very generous indeed. Nobody will boycott as football is all about money.

[Pattylallacks2]

Hovel of a nation - you're having a laugh.

Ok, questionable human rights and maybe currupt - but describing it a hovel shows total ignorance.

The abuse of human rights in Qatar is not questionable, it is unquestionable. Corruption in Qatar is not a maybe, it's a certainty.

Even if Platini is found guilty you can hear the excuse already “ oh they’ve already built the stadiums so we have to carry on”

Mind you, are we absolutely certain that the game in England is clean of corruption?

[WanChaiMiller]

Like I said it has questionable human right (to clrify for Tony foreign migrant workers have died building the stadiums) and it may be corrupt but it is no hovel.

I can only assume you've drank a large amount of Tsingtao to make such a silly comment, because normally you're a reasonable and sensible contributor to this forum

Thought it was sensible Davey - lol Ive been on the Bud all weekend btw!!

I've been in both places. I love Barnsley and particularly Rotherham, and socially and culturally I would choose the live here. But, in terms of economic wealth and quality of life for the local population, we are third world by comparison.

If I was after a great night out with brilliant company it will be here every time. A night out in Barnsley in the 90s was like Ibiza. If I was looking for a 5 star luxury lifestyle (which Im not) its Qatar. The place if stunning - the most un-hovel like place Ive ever visited.

This is from wiki (we all love a bit of copy and paste) "The country has the highest per capita income in the world. Qatar is classified by the UN as a country of very high human development and is widely regarded as the most advanced Arab state for human development. Qatar is a high-income economy, backed by the world's third-largest natural gas reserves and oil reserves."

Ive seen a report classing South Yorks in the bottom 10 of the poorest in Northern Europe.

Your taking my hovel comment out of the context I meant it to be .

I'm not that thick not to know it's a wealthy country but like Saudia Arabia it's got a questionable attitude towards human rights and corruption .

It's a hovel in that its got a third world attitude to the above .

You needed to rail back from post 9
"Highly amusing someone that hails from Barnsley describing Qatar as a hovel."
Patronising claptrap

How do you defend your view of Barnsley as being a hovel

I wouldn't worry. You should see what posters say about London! :-)
