West Ham fans banned from their trip to Vienna next week. Bit late notice and harsh on those paid up to go.

Qatar should never have been awarded that world cup. We all know that was about FIFA corruption. But now it is happening there the focus should definitely be on the abuse of construction workers and the wider issue around discriminatory social attitudes towards gays, women etc.

On the one hand, you have to recognise that Qatar is coming from a point of almost no rights for anybody other that its rich ruling elite, and whilst there is loads more to do, the focus of the world is forcing them to accept change and on the other, keep up the pressure that if they want to host an international tournament with the eyes of the world on them, then they need to accept that the wider world has certain standards and expectations that they need to step up to

I don't agree with the last part of your post it implies that they are trying and have improved. That's not the case they've spun it that way but it's not what is happening.

They’ve come from absolute slave conditions to something a bit less like that. Nowhere near acceptable still. But the pressure on them to change is a good thing
 
The whole award of the 2022 WC was a fraud. Was going to be a summer A/C stadium affair, now its in winter and the whole system moves to accommodate. Blatter and Plattini should be locked up
