RedM Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I don't care if it's not in their culture it's about respect which is what the Australian players were paying to their dead. They should have stood in silence, or if they really couldn't manage to do this, stayed in the changing rooms until kick off. They weren't being asked to do anything offensive to their culture or religion. 'When in Rome' as someone else mentions. It's not in many people's culture to have to cover themselves up, wear headscarves etc but people do when visiting their country and similar, it's about respect and intergration, you shouldn't have it one way and not the other.

Or when 2000 plus people died in the crush at Mecca the same year. Or 111 people killed by the crane collapse also in Mecca in 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that it game the Muslim Saudi team every reason to have just acknowledged to minutes silence, even if it's not in their culture (I fcuking hate that excuse!) to respect the innocent who died.

SARJ Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Saudis should have just respectfully stood there quietly, even if they didn't agree with it. Why they feel the need to constantly make these big political statements. Same as James McClean of WBA. You don't agree with the English national anthem, fine, but stand there silently an don't sing. Why he feels the need to turn his back etc. Unfortunately this act by the Saudis has done nothing to improve the already poor public perception of Muslims right now.

poland_exile Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 the Saudis have shown themselves up. Fair play, at least, to the one lad who did observe it. As for the others, shame on them. Dignity, decorum and respect go a long way in the world, qualities that seem sadly lacking in Saudi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 It's completely out of order. Indicating that they don't do things like that in their own country will, however, prove bloody useful when you want to wear shorts and take your wife out on the piss on a trip to Saudi. Imagine things the other way around. Floggings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
