NcnsBcfc Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) I've replied to his tweet asking who sent the job offer tweet to him? I can't believe FIFA would offer a job via a tweet starting "Hi Ian". More likely this is the Ashton gate Sports Bar World cup party team Hopefully whoever it is, will ban him from using a 5 min White Stripes intro again Edited June 13, 2022 by NcnsBcfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Well done Downsy, hope it goes well for him. I always think it's strange that the demographic of this board think his role is aimed at them when it's clearly not. I think anyone trying to entertain people ranged from 5 to 105 are always going to find certain groups difficult to please. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richwwtk Posted June 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 I'm no fan of Downsy, can't stand the bloke, but it's sad to see some of the usual suspects bringing his sexuality into it for no reason whatsoever.

Grow up FFS. I think you misunderstand and have jumped the gun somewhat to accuse. The reason I say what I said is 100% as a point to call out Qatar. I sense they will be open to ‘welcoming’ gay people as a way of making it appear as if the awarding of the World Cup to them is allowing them to change their ways and ‘open up’ as a country. When in truth, once the World Cup is over, they won’t change a damn thing. So, don’t get overly defensive, my statement was not homophobic, it was actually designed to call out homophobia by the backwards Middle Easterners. There will clearly be a very visible facade on show for a month, before they revert to their primitive mentality immediately afterwards. 6 hours ago, Rocky said: I'm sure his sexuality is not on his CV?

Saying he only got the job because he ticks a box, rather than talent/hard work, is exactly what you meant. And to say that is wrong. You don’t know why or how he got the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
