Saudia execute 81 after necastle loss to Chelsea Chelsea

[pureclaret]

Whilst its not in good taste to make fun of things like this, I have done as it appeared dramatic news on BBC.
Eddie Howie facing critisim for not comenting on this by saying his specialist subject is football.

The new report said He faield to comment on Saudi Arabia executing 81 men in one day following Sundays loss to Chelsea.
Whilst he is trying to distance himself, I feel he is embaressed by the owners links to things hes against, but then money can come first to most people.

Look at us we sanction one dictatorship and lose the oil but turn to another to ask for tghe shortfall, whilst I understand the reasons for needing the oil, in its broadest sense its hyprocisy.

81 81 executions
81 81 in one day
81 81 executions
That's killing the Saudi way.

To the tune of the hymn Give me joy in my heart.

The only solution is to ban foreign ownership in football regardless, because you now have UAE backed City, Russian backed Chelsea, Saudi backed Newcastle, Russian money in Arsenal and Everton. All from countries with questionable human rights records. The game needs a major reset.

More proof if it is needed that we need to be in control.of our own energy needs, short term get fracking started but get offshore wind,tidal and nuclear ramped up etc.

banning foreign ownership?

so someone from overseas who supports a club and who is honest and has earned a fortune honestly cannot spend their money in our country?

don't be silly.

[Tall Paul]

The executions were the day before Newcastle played Chelsea.

No. Local chairmen for local clubs.

You forgot to mention the ownership by Americans. The most corrupt, CIA led de-stabilising country on the planet.

Last time I looked USA had the death penalty too. Should we not deal with them either? Or maybe we should have our owners sanctioned?

[CombatClaret]

I don't condone either event. But nor do I see any greater parallel or comparison between one nation's internal justice system and the invasion of one sovereign state by another.

It's the argument that "You can't talk about X when Y is happening" which if taken to it's logical conclusion means we can only ever talk about the worst event in the universe.

Which was of course Blackburn winning the Premier League.

I didn’t forget, I agree. I just thought if I included that, I’d get more pelters as that would go against the narrative at the moment.

If another country has capital punishment that’s nothing to do with us. It’s more concerning if they haven’t had a fair trial. Not sure what it’s got to do with Howe he’s a football manager. Take it up with the Newcastle owners and board. I think the PL would be better without some it’s owners though.
