Omid Djalili on the Totally Football podcast, I feel he represents well the conflict for many people who have followed Iranian football. What do you think?

Dr Strangemoosh, I listened to the same podcast last night. The Iran fan made a lot of valid comments to back up his point that TM had clearly supported the uprising in Iran, given all the suppression they too are under.
i also listen to guardian football weekltly (now daily) podcast. They too have been full of admiration for TM and sympathetic to Iranians seeking freedom.
BTW, you have the funniest name on this site🙂 Akways cracked me up. Mooshs are tricky even when they are not strange🙂

I hate the fact that WC has coincided with our revolution. I also dislike several members of TM for their Nokar Sefati and lack of courage to stand with the people. But under no circumstances we should hand TM over to the Mullahs. ISP'ers know more than anyone how much TM has done for national unity in Iran.

I agree. At the same time, a relationship is a two way street and remains to be seen if this group of players want to be team Melli or team of Islamic republic.
If the team wants to be the team of the nation, they have to act like it. At the very least they have to support their team mate and demand his release and other athletes. Many other athletes have shown their support and even resigned, this group of players must do the same to be named team Melli of people of Iran.

He started in discussions and responded at least 5 big messages, and he also used words like who are you and phrases that was not super nice. At the end, he was the one that day get lost. He is at fault here based on ISP rules too. It is just we need to learn people might have opinions that don't match and live with it.

He means that this world cup might derail the revolution by taking attention to football.

One lives within the reality that one creates for oneself. And ONE is indeed very powerful to make a change in the world. Every word and every action can make a difference for better or worse. This kind of defeatist attitude that we as individuals have no power and a saviour is coming some day is usually propagated by repressive and tyrannical ideologies like the Islamic republic, to which I don not subscribe.
And how exactly did you “lose” a friend? I’m sure he’s still around and if you are “friends” he’ll be happy to share his comments with you. At any rate, it is fine to have different priorities and different perspective; I conclude my remarks to you and wish you well.
