Now would be a good time on 13:28 - Nov 9 with 1023 views | J2BLUE | I'm sure they would be nervous enough about that without wanting to do it as they head to Qatar. |  |

Now would be a good time on 13:35 - Nov 9 with 1010 views | textbackup | if i were the winning WC captain, i'd get the ok from my wife first, then as i lift the cup, i'd find a team mate as equally up for a laugh as me, then drop the cup and french kiss him in full view of the cameras, middle of the pitch..... on their patch too, biggest world stage, would be biblical |  |

Doing it in Qatar itself would be the biggest statement. What are they going to do? They aren't going to arrest a player, the world wouldn't stand for it and it would be shocking optics for them. SB |  | |  |

I am not saying it wouldn't be great to see. I agree nothing would happen to them but if they were nervous about it anyway then doing in Qatar is just going to increase that. Even when they should be on their best behaviour there are daily stories about high profile Qatari officials being very outspoken on why they think it's wrong. In a perfect world it would be like dominos and we could have one from each squad on the hour every hour leading up to the opening game. |  |

Now would be a good time on 17:49 - Nov 9 with 745 views | EdwardF | IMO, any full time prof football player who came out would be subjected to vile abuse (not banter) from that section of the paying football public whose knuckles leave tracks in the snow. From our own terraces i give you coterie of ''fans'' who sing about about a gay footballer who commited suicide - nice one lads, both homophobic and mental health blind combined |  |

I agree there would be some of that, hopefully from a minority though. I'd hope they'd get similar back from everyone else . The response to the lad from Blackpool seems to have been pretty positive though I don't know how much game time he has had, he's still v young, nor what he gets from the terraces |  |
