Senior cleric demands Iran - SK match to be called off

by the way Salimi in rio Olympic lifted well and he got three green lights then the jury members an iraqi baathi and his wife disqualified his lift after he said Yaa hossein.

There won't be any consequences. This is just worrying which Iranians love to do.

Asian Champions League games were held in Iran during the same period and absolutely nothing happened.
It was Esteghlal - Dalian and Esteghlal even won and people celebrated.

The things Taj is saying are for internal establishment consumption. He is saying it to prevent the assholes from doing anything against TM.

He has been in football for many years, he knows the rules very well and wouldn't do anything to compromise TM.

Let's hope so because it's looks like a bit of kheng bazi if we go on and do these things. Even fans know what the consequences will be

The truth is that Arabs used religion to exploit other nations and ruined every place they captured. iran has used the shia sect of religion to stand against imperialism and exploitation. So all these things are symbolic and can be res pected without becoming fanatic

This is bullshit. Believe in whatever nonsense you want. Keep it out of the public sphere.

It's like they like to mourn these select Iranians that pisses me of so much. Jesus Christ died and Christians paint easter eggs and give each other presents.

I hope the game passes 0-0 and we move on

by the way saudis chanting always has allaho akbar etc during asian championship. since they are native speakers of arabic, no one notices it or questions it

I dont see any use for azadari in 2016. Iran using it "against imperialism" is a moot point given we are playing South Korea, a country also the victim of imperialism and with no sour history with us.

Iran cant be a modern nation unless you keep the things in the masjed in the masjed and the things of the football stadium in the stadium.

Taj has already said that the game will be in a "mood of mourning". 90k fans dressed in black with huge "Ya Hussein" banners.
Taj has said that he has told the players that if "we score", we should not celerate, and we should say "Ya Hussein" three times.
Taj has said that he has asked the Korean fans not to cheer, and has asked the Korean federation not to wear "RED", because "RED" was worn by the assasin.

Year 2016

Oh man I cringed when I read the above statements, I wish one day would come that everyone had the courtesy and common sense of keeping their Goddamn religious thoughts for themselves, and instead of trying hard to shove it down throat of everyone else, keep and practice them only inside their own damn home!!!

Definitely green which I believe is a representative of Tasooa I believe?

Unfortunately, courtesy and common sense has never been and will never be an attribute of our clergy. Therfore, as long as these delightful chaps are in control, we shall dream of such things.

Scoring will offend Allah, Iran’s soccer stars told

Iranian clerics are demanding that the national football team forfeit a crucial World Cup qualifier for fear that victory — and the celebrations it might provoke — would offend Allah.

Authorities have already tried to change the date for next Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against South Korea in Tehran because it falls in the middle of Shia Islam’s most emotionally charged religious festival. Rebuffed by Fifa, the Iranians then asked the Koreans not to cheer their players or make undue noise in the stadium.

As for this ashura controversy {Yes ppl, we have THIS backward set of ppl ruling Iran), beatng Korea, defeating our direct opponents, overcoming one of our traditional rivals, all of them take a backstage to my utterly desperate and heartfelt desire to win this game only to see the people of iran rise and scream with joy, laugh, be merry, celebrate, dance, shout and do just about anything possible to express happiness.

In other words, the glory, the winning stats, the three points. ... none of them matter a jot. Can't give a f**k.
All I want is to see people screaming and laughing till their throats are hoarse. Only to see these backward parasites squirm and rage and bur

[perspolis#1]

I really hope Facebook, Instagram etc has corrupted the children of the country's elite enough that this doesnt happen 20 years from now.

If Iran beats Korea I'm going to make a post celebrating and will share it. Maybe even throw in an ashura reference to make blood boil.

[naderb94]

Honestly, only about 10% of Iran care about religion these days.. You rarely find any people taking religion serious with most of them having pro-Western thoughts...
Once the mullahs die off, most of the problems will be fixed..

Ansar Hezbollah Marched in Tehran to renounce Iran vs Korea.
