Re: armband booking

can you imagine if Kane picks up a 2nd Booking in the game, gets send off and misses the 1/4 or Semi

FIFA just wouldn't want that

Re: armband booking

Apparently Kane & Bale are going to the advised by their own FA's NOT to risk a booking by wearing armbands. Great innit.

Re: armband booking

I would love them both to wear the armband but even them thinking about it is creating an almighty stir, which is great.
Would it make a difference about being booked if they only wore it on their tracksuit and not their shirt?
Every day during this tournament there will be something that will rattle the organisers and Infantino however, I hope yesterday's overcrowding in the fan park isn't a prelude to potentially worse things to come.

It'll be fine. The BBC will send down Dion Dublin who'll report back it's like Shangri La..

See BLUETITs thread.
The park has a capacity of 40k,but more than double turned up.
If that's what it's like when there's 1 match on, what's its going to be like when there's 3 or 4 matches a day. Their plan of having everything so close together doesn't seem such a great idea after all.

Re: armband booking

Earnie and Stephen Warnock both saying on Five Live that they'd still wear the armband if they were captain.

Re: armband booking

Make the keeper captain and then just rotate the keepers when one is suspended.

Re: armband booking

I was on another forum and one poster said the Qatari authorities were right to try and ban the arm band

Dear oh dear

Thought you'd been banned from Mumsnet?

Re: armband booking

Hopefully Kane wear two armbands and gets a straight red with a 2 game ban.

Re: armband booking

I'm guessing neither Bale or Kane will risk it.

There will be some PR pumped out by both sides of the argument but the armbands will be withdrawn.

If anyone in authority really wanted to make a stand then teams would have just withdrawn and not flapped about with token gestures.

Similar to the BBC pre-match outrage, why are they covering the games if they feel so strongly about it? Lineker and Co are being paid a tidy sum for being there.
