scot scotland scottish Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm boycotting this game. On the grounds that it'll be shite That said - I'd like to watch it on the telly! Anybody know if its going to be on any channel? Pretty unlikely I'd have thought though ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Indeed. Seems strange for people to single out Qatar when you could make an argument for boycotting every national team in the world if you're using the same logic. Did you agree with the sporting ban on South Africa during apartheid? Do you think it was ok for the England team to give Hitler a nazi salute in 1936? There are degrees to everything, and the question is where do you draw the line. Many obviously draw it past Qatar with its current human rights abuses but are perhaps willing to turn a blind eye to England and the historic evils of the British Empire.

DoonTheSlope Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) I'm going to this game simply because it's 10 minutes walk from ma hoose. If it'd been at Hampden nae chance, especially as I'm catching a 6am flight next day Edited May 20, 2015 by DoonTheSlope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

in5omniac Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Given there's a cup to play for, will there be extra time if its level after 90 minutes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanpar Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Given there's a cup to play for, will there be extra time if its level after 90 minutes? I imagine it would go straight to pens. Unfortunately the SFA have not confirmed what will happen (I did ask on twitter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robroysboy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Storm in a tea-cup. Kick aboot before dublin. Qatar are famous for brown envelopes, poor human rights for their slave workers. The world is not a perfect place. The SFA have got their brown envelope, are we suprised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girvanTA Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Appologies for the Qatar thing, maybe my own personal hatred for the place. I worked out there for 9 month and witnessed some shocking stuff. Aye plenty of countries do have their own brown envelope brigade, us included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 £3 booking fee and £2 for postage. Given the scandalous pricing for the qualifiers you'd have thought the SFA would be trying to kiss arse just a tad. But heck no, they think slapping on a booking fee will endear the fans even further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jailender Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The SFA have got the fans worked out, and know they can charge ott prices, and the fans will still fork out for tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
