Was Cleverly correct?

I too won't be watching any of it, should never have been held there in the first place, however if it were here we would expect visiting fans to respect the values & culture of the UK.

If players want to make their own protest in support of human rights then fair enough, it has to start somewhere.

We expect visitors to this country to abide by our laws and standards of behaviour; we should do the same when going to other countries but if there are aspects of that country that you don’t agree with, don’t go there. It would be splendid if nobody went to the World Cup but as we know, football is just full of gestures and no conviction.

As usual we get on our high horse having started wearing rainbow laces and with our policemen holding hands and kissing blokes who look like John Inman and Freddie Mercury on Gay Pride days.

The same police who were just as likely to beat up two blokes holding hands 25 years ago.

We should respect other countries and their laws and religious beliefs if we wish to travel there and understand that they are probably five decades behind us in terms of acceptance of men sticking their willies up other men’s bottoms!

Rome wasn’t built in a day and with help and persuasion and more modern thinking in a more open and worldly society then I’m sure that by 2050-2070 they too will have policemen dancing in the streets with leather clad men with handlebar moustaches.

Not shy in sticking it up the odd goat tho..allegidly!

Ah that's funny!

Yes. Diplomacy is all about respecting that other countries have different acceptabilities. It’s also stupid to demonstrate in a country you know doesn’t agree with you. No common sense.
