FIFA Bureaucrats Arrested, to be extradited to US

So it appears that the ethics committee have 'suggested' a 90 day ban.

I guess it'll be the top guy at FIFA that makes the final decision.

"Can I have a lie in this morning David? Yes you can, David."

 

Platini now suspended by UEFA FIFA.

Coming apart at the seams. Delightful.

EDIT: originally wrote UEFA when I meant FIFA.

 

Really? Only articles I can find say UEFA have refused to suspend Pratini.

EDIT: whoops, realised I typed UEFA instead of FIFA in the above post. Should have read FIFA.

 

Though it does beg the question as to why he hasn't been suspended by UEFA.

SSN now reporting that Franz Beckenbauer is now implicated in the FIFA scandal

 

Not surprising - didn't he refuse to cooperate with the American lawyer's enquiry?

 

Shame... Everyone thought, still thinks, the party will never end. Everyone is dirty...

 

Indeed. It's like my tonsils. I suffered from repeat tonsillitis in my 20s, to the point that I was ill nearly every month with a flare up. I had them removed in the end, which is only reserved for severe cases in adults. When they'd taken them out, they told me there was little of them left, so infected and eaten away with the illness were they.

That is like FIFA. Once you remove all the corruption, there won't be enough healthy tissue left for it to stand up.

 

I hadn't thought of it like that.

 

The similarity between FIFA and Moog's tonsils is an idea that will stay with me for a long time!

 

I don't suppose many people did.

 

This is how I relate complicated concepts to the simple man on the street.

 

The world truly owes a debt of gratitude to your tonsils.

 

Now if you want an explanation about hell, fire and brimstone, I can always illustrate that with my piles.

 

I feel myself in the deepest, nether regions of the darknet

 

https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/fo...-vote-took-place--says-blatter-115848073.html

So Blatter Admits that the 2018 world cup was allocated before bidding even started.

He knows he's going down and he want's to bring the whole organisation down with him.

Time England quit and set-up our own non profit making organisation imho.

 

If true then the other 2018 bidders will surely sue to recover the costs of their respective bids, secondly it flies in the face of Godfather's claims that the 2018 World Cup was in the bag for England until the newspaper revelations a couple of weeks prior to the vote.

 

Those are absolutely incredible words to have said out loud. He's delusional if he thinks that won't result in a serious clamour for Russia to be stripped of the World Cup. While the bidding countries sign paperwork saying they won't bring action against FIFA after the bid results, I'd be quite surprised if that protects them here. Blatter basically just admitted to encouraging countries to spend tens of millions on tendering a bid with the result already decided anyway. That's blatant corruption and will surely lead to significant legal action.

Reaction from England to the lost bid was never a case of being a bad loser; nor the reaction from the likes of the USA, Belgium and Australia. The fact the elections had clearly been bought was always the root of the objections, and all Blatter has done is proven those in England, Australia and the USA to have been completely right all along.

 

Another one extradited by the US:

Apparently Blatter has been hospitalised with a "small emotional breakdown".

Luckily, it doesn't seem to have dampened his self delusion in any way, shape or form:

 

100%

Run it in the UK in 2018 and in the USA in 2022

 

Various news outlets now reporting that hospitals reportedly paid bribes to try and host Blatter while he recovers.

 

Stress related illness rather than a fist to face related illness

 

Is it wrong for me to want to see him dragged out of his hospital bed into an awaiting police car, head bonking on the stairs on the way down, and taken out to a trial?

 

If it is then me hoping he just dies is probably wrong too.

 

We'd have a pretty good chance of winning. The only entrants to the Alternative World Cup would be England, the US, Oz, NZ and probably Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales. We should be able to see off that lot in a good year!

 

Fifa

Yet more arrests - surely we are getting to the point where the organisation is so tainted it can't continue although would not be easy to organise a successor organisation. Obviously FIFA's accumulated surplus woukld have to transfer.

 

Two more FIFA Vice Presidents arrested and suspended.

Dear me. There's going to be no one left at this rate!

 

That point was reached in 1972

 

"Blatter" rhymes with "Hatter". Seems somehow appropriate.

 

It's all over.

Blatter and Platini banned for 8 years by the FIFA Ethics Committee

I hope there is more. And convictions, too.
