If someone actually gets prosecuted, then i'll be shocked.

[stinkwheel]

Yawn.

Football ≠ News. Which is why they put it in the back of newspapers after the important stuff like horoscopes, extra long tonail scissor adverts, discount hearing aids and singles ads.

No Beeb coverage of the US and China tensions but Fifa gets constant live updates.

Sums it up really.

World cup 2022 in Qatar, one of the least suitable places to do any outdoor sports on this planet. Did you really think they just won the draw?

Fifty percent of the BEEB news was filled by this, are we really THAT interested in this organised time-wasting activity ?.

[Rogerborg]

Yes, I'm rubbish at playing it too therefore feign disinterest.

Whatever your views on football, the ramifications of this go further than sport, ie governments paying bribes, to the tune of 100's of millions of $'s!
With any luck they'll target the IOC next, another nest of bribe ridden, freeloading, crooks who deserve their comeuppance!

Anyone that think FIFA isn't as bent as a nine bob note is naive as hell.

Nothing will stick to Seb B though. These are just the fall guys. He's got enough money to buy off whomever wants to put him away anyway.

You got to hand it to, the slimy twat that is, Sepp Blatter!
Googling this odious, lying, sack of shit, reveals the following:-

FIFA is registered as a charity

Nah, the BCF'ers who have had results removed from Google are odious, lying, sacks of shit.

[WD Forte]

Shocking
Where are all the Roy of the Rovers and the Alf Tuppers of sport nowadays?

( wanders off muttering about jerseys for goal posts and it were all fields round here..........)

Looks like the odious, little turd, Blatter got voted back in!

There's an interesting map here:-

Corruption Index

Guess which countries voted him back in!

Although I'm hardly surprised that he got "voted" back in, it still pi$$ed me off.

It'll be interesting (maybe) to see how some of the more outspoken nations react to this. Unless they're all paid to keep schtum of course.

The whole situation, surrounding the obnoxious cnut, is incredible.
AFAIC, what seals his guilt for me is the lack of law suits flying about.
Some of the language used to describe the, despicable twwat, in the broadsheets, would normally see lawyers getting their knives out and crying "libel"! Hopefully he's between a rock and a really hard place, can't sue for libel, because he'd be investigated in open court.

Sepp Blatter is either a lying, cheating, fraudster or a total and utter incompetent, there are no other possible outcomes.
