Banter is allowed, but racist or homophobic posting will result in a ban.

Middle East Oil rich countries have a history of using Pakistani/Filipino cheap labour. In fact they pretty much built the stadia that will be used. It was quite a big story at the time so probably no surprise they have used them again for the security

To me that shows what type of person you are if you don't think that term is offensive and that has nothing to do with any PC world.

Did you see the documentary on the working and living conditions of said labour?  I know they are looking for the worst, but there was obviously a lack of heath and safety and exploitation going on.

Whether it's policed by Pakistani or Qatar police / army personnel i'd expect them to take a "No nonsense" approach which will probably still be softer than if the whole world wasn't watching.

In any case I assume it will be a "Dry" tournament which should drastically reduce the chances of any trouble 

Shame Scotland "didnay" qualify as i'd love to have seen Danny Bhoy's predictions come true
