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

[DaveyJohn]

Highly amusing someone that hails from Barnsley describing Qatar as a 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

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.

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

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.

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 .

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

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

The French have a habbit of doing this to anyone who is aiming for a position in high office. Platini will be going for the FIFA head job and this is the way the French clear people of any offences before they take up office.

My experience with people who hold office is one of people taking holidays in favour of giving contracts. It's as corrupt as deep as you want to look!

The police will be cleaning the way for Platini!
