Aidan O'Hara sits down with the Irish Independent's Kevin Beirne for a feature piece on how football is turning people away from the sport. Beirne speaks of his lived experience as a bisexual, the hyper awareness, the self-policing, the everyday difficulties simply not faced by many. And now, FIFA hosting a World Cup in Qatar is the latest edition of football's grappling with morality, so we discuss Germany's team photo and not watching the World Cup. "I worry about what's going to happen to the queer community of Qatar when the World Cup leaves," Beirne says. "Because I don't think they're going to be as stupid to do a big crack down while the world is watching. But what are they going to do six months from now?" Dan continues to report from Qatar and he was in attendance at both Wales' and England's games as Gareth Southgate's men were hit with boos.
