Threatened with being booked for wearing one has served alot more purpose and put more spotlight on the cause than actually being allowed to wear it. Well done Fifa and the Qatari authorities!
OK then, where is all this positivity you talk of...How is it trying to derail the thread? I’m trying to put a positive spin on it as all there seems to be is negativity so far. The World Cup is being played whether we like it or not, no point in moaning about it.
As I said, pics manReally good atmosphere where I am with all the pubs decorated with England flags etc. Buzzing for it now.
Could be worse if they decide to chop your arm off for wearing the armbandWearing rainbow armbands at the world cup was an empty gesture as far as I'm concerned. But being booked for wearing one stinks.

Why not stop telling people what they can and can't say.
We're entitled to give an honest opinion ...
... why don't you try it instead of making up lies about the pubs you've been in.
Why not do as you've been asked and post a few photos.

Weirdly enough I don’t walk around taking pictures on pubs every time I walk in one. I mean, it’s hardly unlikely that a pub would be decorated with England flags when the World Cup starts today is it![]()
I really doubt that. It sounds nonsense. I hope it is anyway, would be a horrendous thing to do.Rumours already of a group of England fans being arrested for singing ‘get your face out for the boys’ to a Qatari waitress.
I think you've missed the point, people are saying you're lying.
Where are these pubs you're talking about, why not name just one ... you don't even need to take a photo.
You won't name a pub and will just post more deflections ...
... what you don't realise is that we've had dozens like you on here who always have the same lousy patter.
The only person you're fooling is yourself.
The atmosphere has been building up in this pub since 5.30am. Legends

Alex Scott wearing the one love armband pitch side. Top lass!
This armband brinkmanship shows you everything about FIFA. They have bottled decisions at the last minute. Months we have been waiting for them to tell us what, if anything, they will do. Now they pull this out of the bag at the 11th hour. Same as pulling drink at the 11th hour. That organisation really does need to be retired and replaced with something fit for purpose.
England are first of the 7, and as usual having to be in the spotlight. They are damned if they do, and damned if they dont in my opinion. Loads saying it is a hollow gesture, now saying it is a disgrace if they dont wear it. If we do it and take a yellow card will Wales do the same. Will Holland, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium. France have already backed out. It really needs to be all these nations, not just the few, in my opinion. All on the incompetence of FIFA in the run up to this world cup.
