    Is anyone welcome if they have the money? What’s next, the ISIS cup? Nazi cupwinners cup?
    Do you know how much Saudi money is floating around London in general mate? And let's be honest about it, our economy is doing pretty well out of the billions of pounds they give British companies for arms every year. Arms that are being used to basically flatten Yemen.

    At the end of the day, money talks. And most of the countries that currently have high levels of wealth, also have very questionable moral compasses. If you are gonna start throwing your toys out of your pram cos a couple of Saudi teams are playing at Loftus Road then you might as well give up on society and go and live in a Kibbutz.........Oh hang on, that would mean going to Israel, who have an even worse human rights record than Saudi!

      The World Cup went to Russia ffs. If all commercial decisions were based on morality the world would be even more of a basket case than it already is. The more mainstream activities the rogue states get involved in the more chance of influencing them. Isolate them and they experience no alternatives.

          All I'm saying is I don't remember Saudi ever illegally occupying anyone elses country, slaughtering their inhabitants whilst doing so. The point I was making wasn't anti-Israel anyway. More that pretty much every country on the planet is crooked, and the world is a messed up place!

            Apart from Finland.

            That's the place for me, where you can go pony trekking or watch TV.

            Sadly neglected.

              I actually think that the Scandinavian countries are a few of the last remaining well governed countries on the planet mate.

                You're correct and morally decent which makes me shocked that you can live in a country like south Africa which is one of the worst offenders
                I played sunday league football today.

                Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

                I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

                We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

                  Much much more complicated than that surmation of the situation. I won’t get into it however on a QPR messageboard.

                          This country is horrific when it comes to morals mate. I've never lived anywhere where so much hatred is prevalent in day to day life. I don't choose to live here cos I like the politics though. I work for Middle East clients remotely and life here is mega cheap. Plus my mrs is South African.

                            That´s the Churchill spirit! Bet you would have made a difference in WWII. Some people are like zombies and believe that "money talks" and "you can´t do anything about that". Yes, moneyis important but it isn´t always talking - it depends how much money you have , what you actually need and what`s the alternative. Thing is that QPR, and England, can afford to say "no thanks" to the Saudis but they don´t. That sucks.

                              Missing the point mate. If you start saying 'no thanks' to Saudi money for moral reasons, you may as stop accepting anyone's money!
