Mmmm circular lid shaped hole and a lorry tyre track, I don't think we need Inspector Clouseau

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle exit point?

2 circular holes. Lot at the top. I’d say your theory is 100% correct. It’s the legs out of the side of a truck pushing into the pavement when it uses its crane to offload something.

On a lighter note

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh that’s very good punning sir.

The song will be nauseating though.

I suspect they might be asking for their $118m back.

England prepared to be fined for Harry Kane wearing One Love armband in Qatar

FIFA usually prohibits adding unsanctioned slogans to kits and has urged teams not to give out morality lessons.

It seems like the WC will bring the spotlight onto Qatar and bring home to people what Qatar is actually like

Think it's more likely someone has backed into a bollard or streetlight, that's cracked the adjacent pavers and then someone has removed the knackered item leaving an empty hole.

I hope the football is more shit than in South Africa personally. Want this sort of thing stone dead forever in the words of Lemmy Kilminster.

Don't wish that on us. I'm glad the whole thing is a farce but I want to matches to be good as a viewer.

It's doubtful this experiment will ever be repeated.

 

[Jack Regan]

With any luck the Qatari team will get absolutely smashed in all of their matches. No way they qualify for the tournament outside of it being held there.

Expensive Pepsi all round for England fans then. No booze permitted anywhere..

My perfect match day...

Seems some beer may be available in the ground if you are in a suite (which cost around £24,000 to use)

 

[Jack Regan]

Alcohol will still be available in corporate sections apparently.

 

[Kenny]

No alcohol for religious reasons.....unless you a very very very very rich, then religion can get in the bin and you can get pissed

 

[James]

Don’t worry they’re going to be selling Bud zero for the poor folk

 

[Tony Towner]

Apparently Ind Bev aren't going to kick up a fuss publicly as the majority of the value of the sponsorship is in the commerciality rather than the beer sales, particularly for this World Cup

2022 World Cup hosts Qatar are embroiled in yet another controversy, with allegations spreading of match-fixing ahead of the opening game of the tournament.

I suspect that probably will have some veracity about it, but publishing it without incontrovertible proof is one hell of a risk.

They could try the Irish 'pub' at the Best Western or Champions Sports Bar at the Marriott.
