Bollocks to Blatter and the Evil Kingdom….

[Giles]

Which remins me of one of my favourite sporting jokes.

Q Who has ridden a Derby winner more times than Lester Piggot?
A - Lester Piggots cell mate

But just think of all the ball-related puns one could come up with!..

maybe he's getting a little senile.

This FIFA affair grows more and more to complete absurdity  :o    … this new Blatter statements and the intention of Diego Maradona    for a candidacy as new FIFA president ... Wow!

Someone Blatter is still running FIFA. Despite calls for his resignation from:

• Budweiser

• Coca Cola

• McDonald's

• Visa

Who are four of FIFA's biggest sponsors…

Got to give it to him.  He has a sense of humour:

In a statement released through his lawyers on Friday, Blatter said resigning now "would not be in the best interest of Fifa, nor would it advance the process of reform".

FIFA have suspended him for 90 days!

No doubt due to pressure from sponsors! 

[Finkster]

@Tone:

FIFA have suspended him both for 90 days!

Platini is even worse, I remember him crying and begging Blatter to leave to save Fifa but what he really meant was that he should take the throne to earn the big money instead of old chap Josef. Such freaking hypocrites…

[501IH]

What better "qualification" to succeed the Seppl than to be suspended together with him? I would not be surprised at all if Monsieur Platini becomes FIFA head after all. Platini received close to two million € for "services rendered nine years ago", nice! Naturally, when you are truly big rollers, such small change can easily get overlooked.

The only citation that comes to my mind is the famous Max Liebermann dictum: "I can't devour as much as I want to barf up" (sorry for any flaw with my extemporaneous translation from German).

[Giles]

I'd say unbelievable, but unfortunately, it's almost inevitable….

Sepp Blatter: Fifa boss should remain in post - Bernie Ecclestone

Well fuck me.  I am surprised…..

Fifa president Sepp Blatter's payment to Uefa chief Michel Platini was a "conflict of interest", says Domenico Scala, chairman of the world governing body's audit and compliance committee.
Swiss Blatter, 79, and Frenchman Platini, 60, are both suspended while Fifa studies reports that a £1.35m payment was made in 2011 for work Platini did as Blatter's adviser.

[Maynard Friedman]

Nice work if you can get it! Platini is such a slimy toad.

The whole fucking FIFA should be disbanded and liquidated. Let some new organization emerge and run the world cup. Probably under the aegis of Coca Cola and other major sponsors.
