TNCASTLE Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Had planned to go to this match tonight with a Jambo pal. However the ticketing policy is as follows. AED20 for Iraq fans (about 3 quit) and AED460 for Aussie fans. The Iraq federation are saying it is because they were "badly treated" in brisbane last week and their fans were made to pay the latter amount so Australians should! I will be ****ed in the Dubliners and watch it there...thought you chaps would like to know that fascism is alive and well in Middle East. They also suggested Australia train on the pitch at 9:30 last night! They were told to shove it:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gards Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It's still the group stages but Aus beat Iraq 1-0 last week. The game was still in doubt 24 hours before kick off as FIFA had originally banned Iraq due to their Government interfering in the country's football federation. Last minute appeal and they allowed the game to go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNCASTLE Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 How come the iraq fa decide on price structure when the game is being played at a nuetral venue? It is an Iraq "home" match. Someone suggested Iraq might not be the best place to play (FIFA probably). So they charge what they like. I suspect a lot of Aussies looking like Muslims tonight!

Buffalo Bill Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 The only thing TNCASTLE (or 'Uncle' John as I call him) has to worry about is me coming to stay at his house, eating all his food - drinking his cold icey beers and generally swaning about his house as if it were my own. 2009 is coming round the mountain.

Ray Winstone Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Anyone who wants a small insight into football in Iraq should read Baghdad FC. Runs through the happenings during Sadam's regime and then the re-building after. It stresses that corruption is still rife in the Iraq football federation - all the top jobs are with the same blokes who where there under Sadam and his son. Thats what you get for letting the Americans decide the fate of "soccer" in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
