…wonder if watching it via illegal stream is more or less ethical than being a viewing stat on paid-for channels?
I didn’t watch it today, and the fiasco seems so Mickey Mouse I’m happy to miss it. A World Cup that feels like giving up one’s season ticket in dying days of Evans/Lambert. [Post edited 20 Nov 2022 20:34]

Is this the official World Cup stance endorsed by the Whatsapp group? |
The whole "Whatsapp" group thing is beyond pathetic, straight out of the Trump book of diversion to avoid having to actually think about things and engage in debate which might be uncomfortable for you.

Some fun WA facts for you…
A) The only folks on TWTD I am in any WA groups with is one with Sitters and Parky, as you can see it has little co-ordinating of posts and is more for pre-game meets/sweepstakes.
B) I can’t help but feel, with some knowledge of Lucan and WitchDoctor once mentioning they have their own little chat with in-jokes, one is projecting. |
Nobody ever names names when they're having a blub about cliques.
"The usual suspects" - who?
"The lefties on here" - who?
"The WhatsApp Gang" - who?
Name names I say. Shît or get off the pot. |  |

It's also a bit odd, various people having claimed other posters who have little to do with one another aside from posting on here and vaguely holding the same views of being part of some cabal communicating covertly and plotting. Think it needs to stop. |  | | |

Pretty much. What's the stance being taken by your Gammon Gang? |
I think it’s PROJECTION and COGNITIVE DISSONANCE.
I see our resident disingenuous shouter of VIRTUE SIGNALLING and SLACKTIVISM has done less than the bare minimum once again yet takes a swing at those who actually practice what they preach.
Those pesky Middle Class White Boys with their corrupt World Cup. | |

Dunno, but I can’t help but feel the new gammon accusation of co-ordinated group think being organised/astroturfed comes via the fact a lot of right wing causes are that so one assumes the playing field is such.
In wider context: https://venturebeat.com/ai/study-identifies-thousands-of-twitter-bots-amplifying
But in this case, it’s quite clear there’s a TWTD gammon WA group where they go for ego validation whilst ironically screaming everyone else is Guardian brainwashed. Alas I also wouldn’t believe it exists purely (or at all) for TWTD but instead a small group of supporters who are also pally IRL. | |

To be fair, there have been those who have made similar comments in a more serious manner than yours. Bit annoying more than anything. | | | |

It's hardly a one off comment.
Blueas and his merry men wheel it out in almost every thread when they say something offensive and don't want to engage with having to think about their opinion.

It's curious isn't it? The comment I replied to was clearly designed to get a reaction. The poster probably got the exact response they were hoping for. So, I should be getting thanked, not reported for abuse! |
Just to clarify I never reported it as abuse, and no I wasn’t after a reaction, just saying how suffocating all the constant posts about boycotting the World Cup were, I’ve acknowledged the human rights in previous posts .. |  | | |

I'd suggest referring to "Blueas and his merry men" is not a million miles away from claiming there are Whatsapp groups where people are plotting. But I agree, it's unhelpful, divisive and shuts down debate. | | | |

It's bad enough as it is on here. Why would anyone want to duplicate it on a WhatsApp group?
