This is ridiculous. AFC approves the venue and all of the visible things related to the venue (banners, tifos, grass, sponsors, etc, etc) considerably in advance. Soleimani's (frankly weak artistic effort) bust has been sitting there for years, its not like sepahan tried to pull a quick one on everybody. If anybody had an issue they could have pointed it out long ago, why wait 10 mins until kick off... We have been playing with Sheikh Hamal and Dayus face at every away game in arab land for the past decades and never say anything, there is team called alqadisiya in QSL and we never complained. Furthermore, they play every time in our stadia with khomeini and khamenei pics up there as out of place as ever and had no problem...
To me it seems like usual arab bazi. Benzema was out, the atmosphere was insane and they bitched out. Whats new.Comment

This doesn't make sense to do other than the fact they're trying to dodge an L to an Iranian team
A bunch of bitches and we have Iranians here carrying water for them. Gross

Erbil stadium also has a political statue. No one cares about this shit in the middle east, it's as expected as anything else

It might be exactly what happened but I would much rather have them move a couple small things so we could still witness a Saudi team getting cooked.Originally posted by Hosseini View Post
The people who decide this crap are all ideologically driven and it will only have negative consequences for Iranian football esp since only a handful of people in IFF speak English or know how to send emails.Comment

IR doesn't like to show any sign of weakness, like most dictatorial governments. Moving the statue would have never happenedOriginally posted by perspolis#1 View Post
I remember before the Iran USA game Khamenei ordered Iran not to walk in front of the home team to shake hands, which is FIFA protocol, because it would be a sign of weakness. So the referee suggested they do that interwoven team picture and saved the whole program, otherwise it would have been a disaster
To think they'd move a planted statue is out of question for Mohammed Bin Salman. It was all just a ploy to not play. I bet they ran it by him before to approve the planComment

Yes I'm aware of that which is why I saw it will only be detrimental to our football, these idiots will jump to the next hurdle and say if Mash Ghassem is not accepted we will ban football in Iran altogether!Originally posted by Hosseini View Post
Remember how in IFF they said, AFC should not tell us how to run our country and then Iran got banned before Asian cup? It'll happen again no doubtComment

Whatever the reason for their hissy fit, it gave Esfahanies a chanceto vent their anger at IR. Yes the statue was there for years, and no it shouldn't be....at least by popular demand.
The audience seemed to blame IR and the AFC will be blaming IR too, I reckon.

Yes it was Arab bazi at its best.Originally posted by inarsenewetrust View Post
AND I HATE SIYASAT AND SPORT MIX.
WE CAnt haVe football team name abumoslem
because he killed arabs many centuries a go...
AT FIRST when it happened I was thinking same way 3-0 and they b1tched out...but when I thought about it qasim trained yamani soldiers to fight ksa,
SO IF WE CANT HAVE TEAM NAME ABUMOSLEM
BECAUSE HE KILLED ARABS MANY CENTURIES AGO , I don't blame ksa team don't want play and walk by qasim status DECORATED FOR THIS MATCH ,WHICH they believe he is responsible for ksa people life just few years go... right or wrong of ksa war with yaman is different story.
If Abumoslem khorasani is baned
for what he did hundereds of years ago, cant blame ksa being sensitive over qasim training of yamanis to fight ksa and kill many of them was just few years ago.
Game will be 3-0 al ittehad
And rightfully SO.Comment

Sorry but I find your logic flawed. This was a strategic maneuver by the Saudis, knowing fully well that AFC would side by them. It had NOTHING to do with them feeling threatened or intimidated. Based on your logic, all teams should refuse to take the field in Saudi Arabia because the majority of the 9/11 bombers and ISIS fighters were/are Saudi, including Osamah himself.Originally posted by oracle View PostComment

If they want to bring up politics, the Saudis literally have an image of the execution tool used against political dissidents on their flag.Comment
