Simon Jordan & Jim White CLASH as they discuss the behaviour of England fans in Qatar! 🔥😳

[@grantmorriss2557]

It was a pleasure to go and watch multiple games at the world cup - everything was super smooth, and unlike going to a game in London, there was no scrum for transport, no drunk fans swearing and cursing everywhere, no gangs of lads looking to pickpocket, no touts selling tickets, and very few visible police needed. Zero trouble. Zero aggression. Zero aggressive blokes stinking of booze on the tube. It was brilliant and a very safe place to watch games with my young sons....

Shame we can't get this kind of behaviour all the time at football games, clean the sport up.

[@EGCC4284]

I’m from Bury in Manchester and have lived and worked in Qatar since 2010. The amount of negative press in UK news and media in the lead up to the start of the World Cup in Qatar has been shameful. Anything and everything that can be negative was dragged up. The amount of preparation, rehearsals and trails that’s been going on for the last few months has been amazing. Whatever anyone’s views are on how the bid was won, or the countries laws or beliefs, please, it’s time now to actually look how the tournament has been organised and run and give credit where it is due. I totally agree that alcohol should not be allowed at the stadiums. It’s available at other locations if needed. The atmosphere here is amazing, like one big party where everyone gets on with everyone no matter where they are from in the world. On the evening of the opening ceremony, it was not shown live on UK TV, instead we had Gary Lineker on Match of the Day giving us a mini documentary about LGBT and migrant workers. Shameful. Lots of UK ex pats are totally utterly ashamed of all the crap that’s been in the UK media in the weeks before the tournament began.

[@bawwizzy55]

Not sure what the agenda is supposed to achieve, ppl that have visited Qatar will happily visit it again and again. Its just like anything else in life you have to experience it for yourself to actually have an informed opinion.

[@TheBlackPrince447]

I agree, we love to take the high moral ground in the West, they say Qatar shouldn't have the WC because of LGBT and migrant rights, they could easily say the US shouldn't have it in 2026 because of their illegal war in Iraq, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

These English fans trashed up the local area, tube stations, takeaways and even shopping center (designer outlet). Loads of innocent locals were assulted. Law of the land is on its head in this country - criminals have more rights than victims. And a minority?

Still it is very difficult for some to confess that drunk fans is the major cause of problems, please be humble to admit it

So were your Qatari ruling elite drunk on booze and hogh on coke when they drove several thousand migrant labourers to their deaths in unacceptable working conditions, Khalifa?

[@dewi9246]

The English hooligan doesn't travel far. UK events or in neighbouring Europe they will be there in force. Jim should have a beer and chill out.

[@pak_number1481]

They never had the opportunity to misbehave I.e no alcohol no drugs and no fake or cheap tickets.

Last year a group of police were honored in my country cuz they were the one who didnt take bribes. This situation remids me of that, people being commended for being decent.

[@defaultYTchannel]

I think Jim was trying to go down the alcohol route for explaining why the fans were well behaved, given Jim’s past with it. And Simon mistook it for Jim having another go at the English! These arguments always happen when you have spent too much time together as they likely have in Qatar, you end up pissing each other off. Also strange they’ve come back now - before an England quarter-final. Did something happen and they got sent home?! There’s a fine line between banter and arguing. Hope they put that behind them - there’s good chemistry there.

[@KelbornXx]

There hasn't been any significant bad behaviour by English fans at a world cup since Germany 2006. The last Euro's were good apart from the final. Euro 2016 there was trouble mostly caused by Russian 'fans' targeting English supporters and local Marseille hooligans targeting England supporters at bars.

[@bluesEvanskro]

Yeah apart from the euros last year (not excusing it because it was just a bad day all round) I think we’ve been okay lately And like you say in 2016 we were targeted by the Russian hooligans and it was nice to see that the entire world didn’t blame us for it, welsh fans and English fans even United against the Russians haha

If every country has segment of bad fans, how come they all acted impeccably all at once in Qatar ? Obviously it’s the booze.. Women and family’s are more safer, and everyone goes home safe instead of needing 59 stitches !

I agree with Jim! Not drinking has made this world cup super safe! Idk why Simon was so pissed 😂😂 these stuff change the behavior of a person so it makes sense, Qatar has absolutely nailed this world cup in all aspects
