How Ironic

Women feel safer at football matches in Qatar allegedly. How ironic.

It is one thing to feel safe during a trip but living in a pre-historic country like that is anything but safe.

It is unacceptable for women to be treated like this in 2022.

Indeed how ironic.

I would feel happier about my femail friend being at a football match in Qatar than outside a nightclub in Newcastle.
Apparently according to a TV report , being sexually and inappropriate/y assaulted is taken for the norm in some parts of the UK and not even reported.

You missed out the crucial fact that they feel safer......without alcohol, Canary, which puts a totally different slant on the story.

Do they feel threatened at European football matches, I don't know, just asking.

sadly its the accepted norm at football matches across the uk, a huge percentage of fans who go are either legless or tipsy, this can lead to problems!

A wag might suggest that the Lions were legless, Mr Kane was certainly over the bar.

Such larks. :-)

A few but in my experience nothing like a large percentage for domestic games, maybe more for England fans abroad

[Khandro]

Do many women go to football matches alone?

A few but usually in pairs.
