I'll be astonished if you've ever played a competitive game of football in your life.
Mo Salah
- Thread starter Robbie Boy
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
Poor guy still doesn't know.
Probably still a little concussed.
Surely his management would have advised him by now.
There's some background information on that here: twitter.com/truthsayer_au/status/1010474283397570560/photo/1
Proper witch hunt this.
Keep it up.
Keep it up.

Truthsayer, eh? That settles it then.
Or it could just be that Salah likes the guy.
So you think it's not true ? Not saying it is but that could explain some of the things he has to endure that we don't really see
Interesting thread. Must admit he looks uncomfortable.
How didn't Abo Rida tell him about the guy this far ? I'm pretty sure Salah knows feck all about the guy and his crimes but the Egyptian FA president should have told him or give him an advice at least.
Another reason to hate Abo Rida for me.

Your FA choose to base the team in Chechnya. Pretty sure they don't see a problem with that
How's that going to be seen in Egypt? Good, bad, irrelevant?
Liverpool certainly aren't going to be happy about this
Bad enough. I have seen several Egyptian comments on twitter pointing to the same thing, telling his crimes and that Salah shouldn't have gone this far but points of blame are mostly directed to Abo Rida for being fine with this. One thing to know is, really no Egyptian like any of the Egyptian officials that control football in the country. They're all cnuts and unlikable by nature, and search for their own glory even if that means saying feck all to anyone else.
I think it all has been planned by Abo Rida from the start by choosing Chechnya. Hardly think Salah knows anything about the man's crimes. It should have been the role of FA to tell him about his history and that it's enough. Apparently the Egyptian FA is happy with that so feck them.
Literally zero logic in basing in Chechnya. Salah probably can't wait to feck off out of there.
It should have been the role of the FA to keep that guy away from the team, and Salah in particular. Even if Salah knew abou the guy, he's still face to face with a crazy dictator, in his backyard. Are you going to tell said crazy dictator "No" in that situation? It's not good, but it is what it is. Barring Salah himself wanting to go to Chechnya and meet the guy, this is very much on the FA.
Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out Egypt went to Chechnya because they got paid to do it

Plenty of celebs from Steven Seagal to Mayweather to Liz Hurley have yucked it up with Kadyrov. If anything, this sort of controversy will serve as a wake up call for others who may think its cool to hang out with him.
It'll be hardly any surprise for me either. As I said, The Egyptians officials are hated here more than you believe, and the camp has been a circus since the Uruguay match. I have no problem with anyone saying the Egyptian FA are cnuts, because I say more than that personally.
I’m sure I don’t know, but the reasoning behind that «pov», if you like, seems thin at best. Are you perchance a Liverpool fan?
Yes, i'm a huge Liverpool fan, absolutely love them.
Y.N.W.A. and all that stuff...
I meant no offense mate. All of us humans have an ingrained tendency to believe the narrative that hits closest to home.
As for the issue at hand, I’m sure even if the claims were true, Salah does have a choice. He’s a millionaire fotballer, he doesn’t have to do anything, not really.
Many news corps, worldwide reporting he could quit. Could just be a threat from him though.
Really doubt he quits the team and lets down basically everyone in his country which has such devotion to him. Short of that, it's not like he has a choice but to do what is expected of him as a representative of his country. Even the queen is just a piece on the chess board, and a tool used by the person playing the game.
In a sense, everyone from every country in the World Cup is part of a political production to glorify Russia, Putin and his vassals, such as this Chechnyan "leader". Maybe everyone should be considering their role in that as Salah is.

He's considering quitting as he's focusing on his move to that corrupt Spanish team .
The hate for this guy here amazes me, a lot of the posts here could go in the rawk goes into meltdown thread.
Bit like the Ozil / Gundogan & Erdogan situation.
But to be honest, its easy to criticize a player to be too close to certain dictators. But then again if one of us is in their shoes, what will we do?
will we really tell erdogan/kadyrov/putin/ off? despite maybe some repercussions? or will we just think 'whatever, it doesnt hurt me' and go ahead for a handshake and smile?
Not saying what they did was right, but its also not a deadly sin.

They'll start making t-shirts I'm sure
seriously who gives a feck?This article reads like it's written by Liverpool's PR team.
"pictured walking with"...pretty sure he was pictured posing with the guy, which is kind of hard to deny, what with it being a picture and all. He might not be comfortable with it but he certainly was aware of it happening and could have chosen to refuse to do it.
The reason for the fuss in part is because every time you go on Reddit or somewhere similar, there is some article about Salah single handedly building schools for poor children, or bursting through brick walls to save families from cancer, or something. There have been documentaries about him on Channel 4, for some reason.
There is an ongoing concerted effort to build him up as some kind of superhero based on being a footballer who played well for a season. This is a bizarre and problematic thing to do, as at the end of the day, he's a footballer. It's going to massively ramp up the level of criticism whenever he does something stupid either on or off the pitch, and isn't going to achieve much the other way as at the end of the day, if he scores goals, Liverpool and Egypt fans will like him. He doesn't need a PR campaign to score goals.

Painful read for me but I actually see everything written in this article is right. Egyptian FA has tried to abuse his name in every possible way for their own sake.

Think he's off this summer to one of the spanish teams maybe madrid with asensio going the other way.
A ruthless warlord shows up whom is known to torture and murder people whom he dislikes. You are in his territory and surrounded by his cronies. Do you bite your lip and go along with it or cause a massive fuss that would upset the man? I know what most would do.
As you say - Salah is just a footballer - he shouldn't be used as a vehicle for political propaganda. Deciding to retire would be completely justified.
I don't think Salah knew who Kadyrov was. People are forgetting he is just a guy in his 20s for all the fame and respect he's getting.
But someone in the Egyptian FA, whoever organized it, is a sympathizer of a potential terrorist/dictator and that is dangerous. There is a rot in the system somewhere.
On the phone while driving
He's been reported to the police by Liverpool after fans filmed him using his phone behind the wheel.
First comment on the story didn't disappoint:

I'm tempted to report Liverpool FC for crimes against possessive pronouns.

They are a unique bunch.
Imagine the scenes of Pogba was on his phone whilst driving.
