Qatar World Cup

I know it's a long way off (I might be dead by then eh Lishke) but what has anybody got to say about it.
I don't give a toss about the Premier League but I think it could be good for non-league.
It could be a big bonus for non-league teams if all our pro-football is suspended for a couple of months. We might get a few more people coming through the turnstiles for their football fix on a Saturday afternoon.
Anybody got any other thougts?

All European teams should withdraw from the World Cup in 2022 in protest and maybe we'll finally get rid of Blatter and his cronies

Not likely to happen. I agree with Townfan that it might show people that there is life (and good entertainment) beyond the Premier League.

At first it seems like a good idea Garage, but it would not alter the fact that club sides all over Europe have South American, African and other players in their squads who would be called up to their National teams. So with their League's still being suspended over the World Cup period they may as well enter it.

A world cup without England Holland Spain France Italy Gemany etc etc would be a disaster for FIFA

Assuming England qualify U/W !!
I see what you mean and it would. But those countries' domestic leagues are still going to be affected because of the South Americans, Africans and others playing for their club teams.

Haha! I wouldn't expect too many extras coming to watch that tripe. No doubt Daddy's boy will still be in charge though and you lot will all still be making excuses for him.

November/December 2022 is the best part of 7 years away.
Got a crystal ball?
Still haven't heard what this "Masterplan" is and am still alive.

I don't think you need a crystal ball to see that the chances are Weaver will still be in charge, we'll still be crud, we'll still be waiting for the promise of conference football to materialise and we'll all still be having the same old arguments on here. Still, we'll have a lovely flat pitch and two nice new stands won't we?

I don't know a) why you didn't understand what I meant by it and b) why you're being like a dog with a bone about it. I wasn't even talking to you. It was pretty obvious I was referring to Simon's seemingly unshakable and deluded belief that one day he'll have "learned his trade" and become a half decent football manager, instead of the complete bum that he is.
