Good on Alex Scott and her fellow pundits for refusing to do the BBC's Football Focus today. She wore the rainbow armband pitchside at a World Cup game in Qatar (when the teams were banned from wearing them because Qatar is all kinds of horrible) - she's a good un.

#AlexScott explains herself at the World Cup Qatar on the BBC.

#WorldCup day 2

Well, inevitably and unsurprisingly, I am aware that England played a match and beat Iran 6 - something, and Wales also played.

I was disappointed to read that England and others had capitulated to #FIFA and not worn One Love armbands. Special shout to #AlexScott who I believe did wear one for pitch-side hosting duty ❤

Gianni Infantino channelling Shenaia Twain was a real low-light.

(I’ve added text to pic but not sure I’m doing it right! … so …. this is a photo of presenter Alex Scott wearing the #OneLoveArmBand holding a mic at the side of the football pitch at yesterdays game #Fifa )

🌈 #alexscott #WMQuatar

Some interesting things in play already in this #WorldCup - footballers from #Iran defy an oppressive regime by holding close to core values and speaking out about atrocities while #FIFA actively threatens and bullies other players for doing the same

Professional footballers are cowed into taking off an armband that publicises One Love while #AlexScott shames them all with her 'screw you'.

Iranian footballers & Alex Scott 2
FIFA 0

Das Fußballtunier der Männer im Nahen Osten ist egal. Doch die Proteste für #Menschenrechte und gegen den Fußball-Weltverband erzählen an den ersten 2 Tuniertagen schon eine eigene Geschichte.

Hier #onelove von #AlexScott - Sie arbeitet für die BBC und trägt die vom Veranstalter untersagte Armbinde, die die DFB11 anstelle der Regenbogenbinde tragen wollte #OneLoveBinde - Vor ihrer TV-Karriere war sie von 2004-2017 Abwehrspielerin in der englischen Nationalmannschaft. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Scott_%28Fu%C3%9Fballspielerin%29

BBC’s #AlexScott wears rainbow armband for England World Cup match in gesture of #solidarity with #LGBTQ+ people in #Qatar.

So at least I can type something now...Server was slow last few days. So please see hereby the only person in #Qatar with balls #AlexScott

Well done Alex for representing all those who are being discriminated against. #AlexScott #OneLove https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/nov/21/bbc-alex-scott-rainbow-armband-england-qatar-world-cup

#AlexScott Great statement! #onelove

Amazing bravery from #AlexScott! Anyone from the #LGBT+ Communities going to #Qatar is potentially putting themselves in danger of attack or arrest, but making a public statement to the world’s media is huge.

#OneLove when I was at school I was bullied for being gay. When I was at uni I was gay bashed. When I got my job as a saxophone specialist I learnt that my boss wouldn’t have employed me had he known I was a bummer in the interview. I still can’t hold my husbands hand walking down a normal high street; and that’s in the UK. If I were in Qatar I’d live in even more constant fear. They can’t even wear a fucking arm band. Shame! #AlexScott is a hero
