Session now taking place in House of Commons...sports and culture mps slagging the whole organisation off saying it is deeply flawed and corrupt ,this is just the latest sorry episode.
Sponsors will pull out from supporting FIFA soon...the image is too tarnished now.
Russia should not have the 2018 world cup it's a fix.

PROUD RECIPIENT OF THE THIRD PLANET SWANS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
"Per ardua ad astra"
UEFA are putting the boot in, credit it where it's due. Platini telling him to resign, David Gill announcing that he wont take his place on the executive committee if Blatter stays.
I still have my doubts about Platini, but at least today he has stepped up to the mark!
Watching the press conference live, how's this for a veiled threat...
Platini: "If Mr Blatter wins, Uefa will meet in Berlin to discuss the future of our relations with Fifa."
Platini didn't rule out a boycott of FIFA, and therefor a boycott of the world cup. I think that is the first time I have ever been in the slightest way impressed by Platini.
Although I still don't trust him and I'm sure he is playing politics here for the day when he is eventually FIFA president. But for today at least, he done well.

Not a tremendous difference in levels of c*ntishness between Platini or Blatter at all.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

As I said to the court. " I did not have sexual relations with that woman"
If you can fill the unforgiving minute.
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

I think you are missing the point. If the offence took place outside of the US, then their laws do not apply as they have no jurisdiction over a foreign subject. It would be up to the govt of the country you are in to prosecute you
A Swiss citizen is only subject to laws of Switzerland if that offence occurs in Switzerland

I think you’re missing the point. How do you know that whatever offences they may have committed, have been totally outside of the US, and US financial system? I’m thinking that the FBI believe they have broken some laws in the US, else would not have charged them.
This what I thought should be done. Then I thought that if the PTB boycott the WC, then the chances are, if the tournament is held, that Bongo Bongo Land will win the WC. This is what the record books will show until Cardiff get promoted to the PL again.

All posturing by the anti-blatter supporters, basically Europe. Under blatter FIFA have poured money into African and Asian countries and they will support him. Whether all the money has gone to the projects is another matter but that won't be investigated. May even win in first round.
Can't see a boycott of World Cup, sponsors will want to be associated with World Cup, they just need blatter to make nice sounds in relation to corruption. Same as- its all about making money.

Poured money into African & Asian official pockets to win votes more like. He's well aware as long as he keeps them sweet he's bomb proof.....as will be proved when he is once more elected for another term. Blatter has got manipulation by corruption down to a fine art.
Just watched on Sky HQ the FIFA representatives from Bangladesh and the African Nations indicate that their votes will be for Blatter. The election will be a no contest,UEFA are the real power brokers of World Football and they should flex their muscle and declare a boycott of the Russia and Qatar World Cups.
