Alex scores

BBC Qatar World Cup presenter Alex Scott appeared on air wearing the Onelove armband following FIFA’S warning to players not to display support for LGBTQ+ rights.

Good for her – I think the teams should have stood by it too and if threatened, they should all walk off!

Kerry Dennis So fans pay thousands to see their country play and you suggest they walk off because of a political point you want to see them make that doesn’t really have anything to do with the game.

Gerry Cavanagh Sorry Gerry, but sticking your head in the sand with the old “don’t mix politics with football” just doesn’t wash anymore. Qatar should never have been given the World Cup, period.

Bruce Howden Nobody going to speak up about all the migrant workers who lost their life's, that not trendy enough for them?

Neil Darroch Many of us care about both.

Rez Guthrie Football should be football, that's it. No statements of any kind.

Galeotti Danilo Virtue signalling, nothing less! If the BBC are genuinely so concerned why are they there and not boycotting?

George Hall Well done, finally someone with a bit of backbone!

Clare A A Eadie Pointless gesture!
