Nice one, should be a great World Cup.

Abdullah al-Khulaifi said "Qatar is an open country forever, since ever"




.....Qatar's restrictive kafala system, which prevents workers from changing jobs for five years.

Have a couple more:


Backward c*nts.

Oh dear

"Workers are now ferried to and from work in buses, not lorries."

Excellent news! All is forgiven!

Imagine the scene when they try the same thing with a load of mobile phone wielding, hot, boisterous European fans.

They're saving the lorries for the fans.

Probably implement some ooman rights to allow some leeway so as not to make a scene.

The workers here in Dubai used to be shipped about in cattle trucks.

As many as 400,000 Nepalese workers in Qatar are denied the right to go home for family funerals.

Thats going to show up great on the world media scene.

If the WC is a sellout all it proves is the fans who attend don't care. Then again, our own government doesn't have a problem letting them spend their billions here.

[MiniMan64]

Just came here to post the same story about the BBC arrests.

Are the officials there morons? What did they think was going to happen?

It's not exactly getting widely reported is it?

Bloody ridiculous. If UEFA had an ounce more credibility than FIFA they would withdraw and have an extra European Championship instead.
