Latest news from Qatar
Law abiding England fans and respect in Qatar
The Engalnd game is almost with us now, and i would just like to say, I hope the plastic hard boy muppets who can only fight in packs and are intent on terrorising innocent people stay well away from Qatar
England has the biggest away support of any international football team , even for friendlies, and the majority of our fans are well behaved, passionate,vocal supporters who will undoubtedly respect the laws of Qatar.
If there are any muppets coming to Qatar intent on being naughty , i hope they pay the price and get taught some old fashioned respect, which is missing in Engalnd today.
And i hope our boys stuff Brazil, and cant wait to see the cross of st george all over that stadium.
what a night in store !

/-a-t-/ Nic the samba babes ...could be dealing with the same issues faced by the England fans(proper dressing & behaviour).
In the end we'll see what happens.
/-a-t-/idealman: there was a recent post in which the Qatar authorities had issued warnings to those going into the game to behave properly otherwise jail is awaiting for them. I'll try to find the link and post it here.

sure, count on it my friend ...The day England stuff Brazil I change my name... I hope you have enough soap at home to wash your st. George's cross flag, because you all are gonna wipe your tears on it!
And by the way, don't worry, the "brazilian babes" are coming, in a large group, along with their husbands and kids, so keep looking to your ugly ones. And don't forget to warn your hooligans friends to avoid messing around with people there, cause if you pi** off a brazilian, it's worse than crossing with a qatari landcruiser, I guarantee to you!

Flyer - judging by your ...Flyer - judging by your comments, its not the England fans we need to worry about. It seems the Brazilian fans have some anger issues. Perhaps you should start your own thread, we're happy go lucky people looking forward to a friendly game.
flyer said
sorry disappointing all my fans ...and by the number of comments, looks like my fan club is growing. I've been out this days, but here I am, ready to shoot. Well, thank you all for the compliments, very kind of you. But the truth is: I've just been sarcastic, like I'm ALWAYS. But people, you know nothing, I said NOTHING about brazil, brazilians, football and whatsoever, so don't judge or try to guess, keep just doing what you always do best: throw away words in the desert, maybe the dunes can hear you...

flyer ...steve flyer the cryer crossed his wire
flyer said
hi idealman ...how are you, ready for the game? I'll love it. Specially watching a group of hundreds of brazilians having fun while thousands of brit's sighing and thinking: "whoops, what to do, we invented the game but they made it better"...
flyer said
Alumnar ...this is really your picture in your post? (must be, in internet people generally lie for better, not for worse). My gosh, sorry talking about ugly people, you probably got very offended, right?
But you surely know nothing about Brazil and their people, right? I know, very old legend. By the way, if you really are from Portugal, I don't get it your support to England and hate for Brazil. Is that friendly match we stuffed you 6x1? Get over with it.
idealman said
steve hey little man, i love ...steve
hey little man, i love your little banter, i am from east london, bless you
Now then that Brazil team of 1970 was the best i have ever seen, i am a true football fan and Pele was the best footballer the world has ever seen .
so do not embarrass the Pele name with you shallow little quips or i will find you on the night and insert the match ball into your wit.
flyer said
idealman ...I don't know who the fu** is Steve, but I don't give a damn. And if you wanna find me bro, piece of cake, I'll be there in the game section 15B, laughing at you. But I hope you have a really big ball, cause I have a really big fat a** to offer you!

secret1 ...don't do that man, stay in the jedi side, come to the light! Beautiful brazilian jerseys on sale at Nike store Villaggio.
verisimilitude said
Hmmm... flyer... ...These are pommies... they only get to talk big before the match cos after the match they will be sobbing, so let em have their fun before the match... After the match the players/coach will be blaming the pitch/weather/referee/timing/angle of floodlights/traveling and not having their wife/girlfriends with them for losing to Brazil... and their fans will go wild as they get to terms with the defeat which was anyway coming their way but atleast that way they get to 'pretend' that they are actually surprised that they lost... :-p
If any of the fans are drunken and misbehaving... which I wouldn't be surprised to see... it would be fun to watch the Qatari policemen beat the telco beep out of them :-D...
Anyway, the Pommies on QL can thump their chests all they want, but the Brazilians will have hands down more ground support... cos the neutral supporters know what's real and what's fake...

/-a-t-/ Versimilitude...did .../-a-t-/ Versimilitude...did you actually read the posts above mate?...the only one being offensive,rude & getting personal is this flyer fella & he's a Brazil supporter,so why would you go about this rant?...let me explain something to you mate...REAL TRUE supporters & fans support their club or a particular national side NOT necessarily the best one,do you understand?...I support England by default because i'm a huge LiverpoolFC fan but i understand that the chances of England winning this game are slim to none,so what? does it mean that i give up supporting a team i've always supported because the opposing team is better???...that's really REALLY lame...if everyone were to support just one side,the side that's likely to win,where's the fun in that???...you & flyer support Brazil,good for you,similarily,there are people that support England,for reasons that go beyond just who's the better side...i prefer the boring workmanlike style of English football to the stylish,samba like South American style,what gives you or flyer or anyone else the right to question or poke fun /-a-t-/ that support?...like i told flyer,this is a football game,the 2 countries aren't going to war,enjoy the game in the spirit that it was meant to be enjoyed in instead of b*&%^ing about your anticipated reasons that England will give after the game...sure Brazil will have more support on the ground for the simple reason that a lot of people not even really into the game of football will be supporting them simply because they're the no:1 team,these same people would support England if the tables were turned so a good % of your "Brazilian supporters" are actually just supporting the better team so please, would you & flyer both save your hatred spiel & go enjoy the game...

Airforce 1 ...After reading ridiculous comments such this "gadarene", are you sure you still wanna buy a England jersey? "Samba style"? My gosh, I've never heard so much crap in my life! And where the hell he thinks the support will be bigger for Brazil? Most bachelors won't go on this game, simply because they cannot afford. The middle/high expat class here is made of at least 50% brit's, so who is gonna have the major support? My friend, no better reason to be a Liverpool fan, bunch of loosers...When you were still on diapers, I was there in the field watching the games, raining or sweating; I've been always a membership of my national club, even though far away; when they have a match, no matter the importance or the time of the day, I'm in the net watching or listening. So before talking about my religion, go and pray a little more, you sinner!
AirForce1 said
flyer? ...flyer? what a di##! do you fly?
Dude!!! Tell me! who wants to talk about your religion? what is your religion? who cares? seriously,are you nuts?
come on man! answer my question,Do you know ENGLISH??? Do you understand me? you got any problem?
Shut up you irrational idiot. Go back to school and learn to spell and maybe a little about analytical thinking as well.

Airforce1 ...my comments were for secret1, changed names by mistake, sorry for that. But in the other hand, I don't get why are you so upset about my comments. As the clever Alexa realized, I put football as a religion, that's it. About spelling, get a life jerk, I speak well 4 languages while you are still learning yours, idiot!
anil_fig said
Football game? ...Is this a football game or a war zone?.... Guys get a grip ... just go out and watch a good game with some of worlds best talent... come back and do a post mortem on the game... and may the best team win as long as its a good game.

update ...some great posts people , but if Engalnd put out a full strength side , Brazil will have little chance,especially that we are now managed by Capello,whos Great, Great ,Great, Grandparents,were actually from Clacton in Essex England.

idealman ...Calling me? you cannot live without you brother anymore, can't you? Sorry take so long man, I was just doing a research to find out your genealogic tree back in Brazil. Guess what? you're right bro! Your 5x great grandfather was from Brazil and a wanker too (but a better one, he did that for the king). But that was long time ago, when Brazil used to be still a monarquy, because today only retarded countries are still ruled by queens and stuff... Whoops, sorry man, no ofense, my fault! And because of this enormous coincidence (brazilians and wankers) we maybe can be relatives, could you believe it? But don't worry bro, if someone asks me how can I have a cousin so retarded as you, I will defend our family honour.
And to kill two birds with only one shot, Airforce1, you faget, kiss my a**!

Getting hot under the collar chaps! ...Calm down children, don't bucketmouth on here!
Anyone worries about crowd trouble, Qatar has the solution! About twelve years ago in a world cup decider between Qatar & Saudia I remember the riot police fully togged out in armour ringing the pitch with long battens!It was more entertaining than the match to see them jogging into position! Of course there was no trouble even though Qatar lost. Do you think that contingency plans have not been made? If 30 police cars could attend Garveys to shut it down how many will be deployed for any trouble here?
flyer said
chippiem ...or should I call chipmonkey? When I said not to talk about Pele is because he is our God, a**hole! I had the honour to meet him personally in Brazil, along many of our idols. I don't get it how do you people hear things, from your ears or from somewhere else! Make my day jerk, shove your balls, run naked and climb a pole! You can go wherever you want, doesn't make any difference, better, don't even come, otherwise the x-ray in the gate for dumbs is gonna scream!

Talking about the loudest chant, I must be realistic and admit that facing the majority of brit's there (most of Brazil supporters won't be brazilians, so they don't know our songs), it will be difficult to beat you guys, but we will try our best!

I just hope that we get to ...I just hope that we get to see some good, skillful football. My only concern is that most of the top players may not make it to the pitch as they will be shielded from picking up any injuries.
I recall the AC Milan game when Kaka and Ronaldhino did not even play a second of football, yet they travelled with AC Milan for the game. I hope that both teams put their best players on the pitch and we can see some beautiful football played here in this tiny country. After all it is a beautiful game, and hope they don't disappoint both the English and Brazilian fans by fielding their reserve players.
