I see Blatter has a press conference organised later. No doubt he'll be admitting it's all true.

 

[Mawsley]

It'll be a giggle a minute

Sepp doing an Arnie "I'll be back"
Image of Sepp Blatter, gun in hand, entering FIFA headquarters suddenly comes to mind.

 

[Mawsley]

The excerpt on BBC is, well, wow.

 

[M17TT C]

Not Blatter but related to Fifa and this guys has an amazing name:

I thought they tended to kill them though rather than that!

Depressing.I remember for years people (myself included) decrying the bollocks coming out of FIFA/UEFA & blaming the unkown suits.What we needed was a high level administrator who had actually played the game rather than these nobodies.So...we get one of the greatest players of a generation into a top job...& he turns out to be as big a ****ing crook as the rest of them.Just goes to show it's the system not the personnel.Corrupt from root to branch so that now all we're left with is wondering which other gangster **** will take over & tread carefully for a few years before it all starts over again.

It annoys me when bans get appealed and reduced. Get it right the first time and stick to the decision.

Blatter is 79, it pretty much still is a life ban.

I was reading about Theodoridis' appointment earlier. Unreal.

This shouldn't be surprising to us. It has always been and will always be corrupt. Most large organisations are.

No, it's The Who, not Sweet.

Let's not turn this into a Spion thread.
