#football and corruption

[mccleans]

baffled by people who (apart from their own club) only want to see man city to win the prem. i want my own club to win obvs but i would rather see literally any random club win it than sit back and watch football further fall to the evils of money and the knowledge that the richest man in the room will always win no matter what you do

sometimes i'll think abt a Fandom and wish it were bigger, and sometimes i'll read something from a fandom.. and wish it were smaller

[the-casbah-way]

since the fandom has collectively decided that jamie's from motherwell i tend to just write it that way too but jamie is not a motherwell lad to me. he's definitely from one of the wee lanarkshire church towns where you have to wait around for two hours for a tiny rickety country bus driven by someone's half-senile grandfather to drive you to motherwell or glasgow to get a little peek at civilisation. i can't explain it or prove it in any way. but this is the truth. to me

i’m never one to tell people how to live their lives but i will say being an openly lesbian woman and playing for a team owned by a nation state that would jail you (with the possibility of execution) for being openly gay in said nation state is most certainly. a choice

Lists of accidents happened during asian cup

1. Lee accident over pingpong

2. his request for the team got declined bc the staffs were busy gambling

3. a staff sold the uniform they were going to wear for the semi-final so they had to wear the away kit

What an absolute joke kfa is, just let sonny go, you don't deserve him. And that sonny chose not to speak up anything yet just shows how loyal he is even to this most fucked up association.

No to Saudi Arabia 2034

WHY?

Fan alliance protests against football World Cup in Saudi Arabia.

What's the point? The International Football Federation is corrupt to the core, so let them scribble the World Cup football law, no matter what inhumane system.

Saudi Arabia, the land of football and fan culture.

A hilarious joke about money and influence, a sport to show a friendly face.

Forget the corrupt football of the officials, do your own local thing. Play football the way it was played in the beginning.

Don't watch the pay-for-nothing football of the officials anymore.

How come there's no outcry about cultural appropriation? I don't think it would be helpful, but it would be funny.

Those creeps have already built ski halls, so why not the Winter Olympics in Saudi Arabia?

Any international event that still has any sense of morals and ethical principles should steer clear of corrupt, power-hungry systems.

Football in Saudi Arabia makes as much sense as an ashtray on a jet ski.

How many people have been executed in footballing nations in 2024? 0

Number of executions rises to highest level in decades

Saudi authorities have executed over 198 people so far in 2024. This is the highest number of executions in Saudi Arabia since 1990.

I think they are so nice and don't execute people. That would be the official football World Cup, but it would be intensified afterwards. Really sporty, no, misanthropic, unfair. But if the prince wants it, he buys it.

barely three days in and team Italy has already amassed 5+ cases of beef with referees/judges and especially The People are incensed and crying corruption and unfairness - might we seen an updated version of "schiatta moreno" soon i wonder? "Schiatta giudice olimpico" or something

i'm loving the whole footballer bradley x popstar girlfriend concept !! and i was thinking what about her being a good ten years younger than him and that causing like a scandal between her fans and in general

we love bradley with a younger partner ofc 😜😜 in this story, bradley is around 29-30, which is on the older side of top-level footballers, but i do imagine popstar to be around mid 20's for sure. it also doesn't help that he dresses like a dad and looks older than he actually is lmao

[nemolfc]

in all honesty ( and this will be my last post ) this is a prime lesson of how corrupt the sport has gotten and its not just the english league, its basically everywhere, from overworking players with fucked up schedules ( including the international break ) to often times not paying them any kind of money ( not sure if you guys heard but apparently in uruguay, something came up and a lot of teams are refusing to play so the national team, such as darwin, valverde etc have released a statement saying they will not be called up until shit gets fixed )

all of this is a prime example, a big fat example as to how the organizations at top view the players as well as the coaching staff, they're basically outright saying, we don't give a fuck about what you feel but here let's save face by releasing a statement after the mistake we made.

sad, really sad.

I know i just joked about it but people saying "ooooh bayern is the problem that's why no coach wants to come 🙈" when all three coaches gave very valid reasons to stay at their current clubs (xabi's paranormal sensational season at b04, julian doing surprisingly well at gnt and ralf citing "personal reasons") and not because "fuck bayern" otherwise they wouldn't have considered the offer to begin with 🤠

Girona's early season run is a little less exciting when u remember they are owned by the same group that runs Man City but oh well let me not pretend Atleti isn't depending on shady money as well
