Pressing Matters #35: Is football a results/trophies business?

In this pre-recorded episode, Ismail Farooq and Ali Shayan debate a topic that is very relevant and important in football discussions and opinions. Should matches be judged by looking at which team scored more goals? Sounds kind of obvious, right? Maybe it isn't. 

Should the ability and success of teams and managers be based on more than just trophies? Aren't trophies the ultimate litmus test for deciding winners from the rest? What about "bottlers," serial chokers and those that haven't won anything? 

The two have a lengthy and heavy debate about two different ways of approaching and understanding these aspects of football.

They discuss Real's performance in their El Clasico win, Barcelona's dismal situation and whether Messi is slowing down or not. Liverpool finally losing a game also prompts them to have a chat about where Klopp's men go from here and how important the concept of 'invincibility' is.

Amna Chaudhry is a volunteer for Aurat March Lahore. She is involved in organising the event for this year and mobilising people for the cause.

We discuss the upcoming Aurat March in detail, along with the vision and purpose it aspires to achieve. Amna explains Aurat March's Charter of Demands along with the rationale behind it. We also chat about the negative criticism and backlash that last year's Aurat March received, and why the country perceives this movement so negatively and suspiciously. This is linked to an overall discussion we have where Amna tells us why feminism is so maligned in the country and whether feminism and our cultural/religious values can be aligned.

Aurat March Lahore 2020 - 8th March, 11:00 AM - Lahore Press Club
