Security Risk
 

We were due to play football afterwork yesterday at The Officers Club in AD, that is until they rang my colleague to say they have had to cancel it as it was deemed a security risk ! :eek:

I think this really is taking things a bit far !

Re: Security Risk
 

who were you playing against...cowards

Re: Security Risk
 

Fourteen ex-pats wanting a kick around, the lads have been playing there for weeks before I arrived !

The mind boggles................

Maybe they'd heard the rumours about you :p
Watch out the Yorkshire terrorist is coming!!

My hockey club has had its practices at the school in Arabian Ranches for the same reason. They are not letting outside parties use their facilities because of the security warning.

There was no need for that Christopher ! ;)

Anyway, you going for a beer tomorrow at PJ's ?

Re: Security Risk
 

A small unofficial after work game is hardly a good high profile target for terrorists...you'd think they'd go after something a bit more challenging!

I suppose we just have crap terrorists here in the UAE - tired from the heat and numerous friday brunches...

thats bloody stupid.

Re: Security Risk
 

I guess The Officers Club must be something to do with the military here so no surprise they would clamp down on who is allowed in.

Re: Security Risk
 

I cant believe given the heightened security alert that has been thrust upon us, you would even consider leaving your bomb proof bunker and venture out in public. Let alone play a game of football..

Madness.

Re: Security Risk
 

sounds like a convenient cover-up!

Re: Security Risk
 

Apparently they were dressed in a Tux and ordered drinks at the bar, giving specific orders for the drinks to be Shaikh'n and not stirred.

It's always "drunk" people when the GN reports something, do they think people have to be drunk to commit crime?? Knobs.
