when do you expect the qualifiers to be be played in june or july? when its pre season

I didn't say anything about moving qualifiers or anything did I?? Tell me if I did somewhere say this? all I said was I was fed up of them breaking up the season as it gets going...

Why was the temperature issue in Qatar not raised by anyone before the voting took place. Was it because the backhanders were just good to turn down. But lets face it the 2018 and 2022 voting was rigged well beforehand.

Errr.... WITHOUT their international players, which you somehow managed not to mention.

Inferior leagues are willing to put matches on without their international players. Something that superior leagues would never do. I think that's what you were trying to say. Perhaps a typing error on your part or maybe a simple oversight?

Inferior leagues short change the supporters who naturally want to see the best players. The MLS for example has no major TV contract and so needs gate money more than most leagues. You'd think they would encourage fans by staging matches when the best players were available.

So no I'm not wrong. The rule is just as I described it. Look it up on the FIFA website.

No, what I said is a fact, and is what I meant to say William, stop being Pedantic in every post you make...

It was. It was discussed at length.

The Qatar organisers dealt with the issue by promising air conditioned stadiums. It was almost a year later when the stadium architects decided that the air conditioning plan would never work.

I really fear for Newcastle this season from what I have seen so far.

We look poor in defence, our attack is useless unless Ben Arfa has a good game, can't score from set pieces, play shit football and have no fight either in the team.

Our next 5 fixtures are daunting. I can only see us possibly beating Sunderland and then lose to Cardiff, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham, which would mean we could possibly be only on 7-10 points by the end of November.

The club is in a terrible state and will get worse before it gets better.

If they can't meet one of the main promises, that should be good enough to take the world cup of them . Oh but they can't, can they, all the FIFA corrupt bastards would have give their presents back!

think more scared of legal action these qataries have a unlimited supply of cash and could effectivly bankrupt fifa

If it's any consolation I brought it up on here last year when they awarded them the World Cup
