BBC Helps KSA with Sportswashing.

[The Ruthsayer]

Saudi Pro League results now shown on the Beeb Sports web-site, alongside all major European and South American Leagues.
What of the African Leagues, which have much greater attendances? Or other
Despotic Regime Leagues’?
Utterly reprehensible.
We should all write to complain. I’ll go first.

St Albans who are National League South got more for their Boxing Day fixture than most of the Saudi Premier League games this week.

I remember Erimus74 boycotting the Qatar WC. If KSA is awarded a future WC I'll be doing likewise.

They already have been awarded a future World Cup.

Great choice! Spent many a happy afternoon at Clarence Park when I lived down there. Best attendance if the season though, for the big A414 derby.

Aye - Saints v Hemel derby had in excess of 3500.

I boycotted the Qatar one and I'll do the same for KSA. It actually showed me how little I really care about international football.

Yes they ran unopposed and won be default.

They will probably get a higher profile than the championship. You have to ask who is interested in the ksa

 

[Colin Warnek]

Yes they have basically been writing puff pieces for the Saudi league since they took over the mugs. It’s shameful

Not allowed to say anything bad about the BBC on here.

That fluffy organisation that sends threatening letters, intimating impending legal action to old age pensioners. That's pensioners who are not required to have a licence.

Where 70% of those prosecuted are women (disproportionately single mothers) which is cited in the Perry review.

I've a lot of respect for some of the great work that comes out of the organisation and am sympathetic to their cause after being under such a clear attack from the right wing sections of the country.

But there needs to be some serious changes in that organisation.

Any BBC impartiality has clearly been eroded since the **** Johnson’s government. They do what ever the Tories instruct now.

Make no mistake though. Any British government would dare not back the House of Saud. There is a lot of petrodollars in Britain and the establishment benefit from it. It is as simple as that.
