NYCFCFan10 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Blatter: " I can forgive but I won't forget." Seriously doubt we get the 2026 WC now. We might as well pull out of FIFA. We just landed on the same shit list England's on. Edited May 30, 2015 by NYCFCFan10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Blatter: " I can forgive but I won't forget." Seriously doubt we get the 2026 WC now. We might as well pull out of FIFA. We just landed on the same shit list England's on. Mate 2026? Was your delegation planning on bribing their way to victory? Only way you can win. There is no point bidding for a World Cup until FIFA is cleaned up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Didn't think I'd ever see this day. Me neither. This is huge. Perhaps the game now has some hope of moving forward with integrity and the chances of a "rebel" organisation are diminished. Hopefully one day we will find out who got paid what for the 2022 bid.

Tony999 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Seems like Septic Bladder forgot how to speak English now. What's all this mumbling in French now? The guy will go into exile but the World Police America will bring him down too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moraiwe Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 The pessimist in me thinks that all that will happen is that a Blatter's chosen successor will become President and it will be business as usual, albeit minus a few figures who've gotten caught. Have seen nothing yet to make me expect different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have seen nothing yet to make me expect different. people should read the article on "The World Game" about Sepp might have been misleading as he never said he was resigning just stepping aside until after all the investigations are finished or words to that effect so we will have to wait and see what transpires.

Haha, I watched the announcement, it was bizarre, having such a big announcement in such an empty room but besides that I can't recall his exact wording about his departure. He'd be a real asshole if he were to pull some sort of trick and come back if he isn't convicted of anything. Though if he is calling in an emergency vote, I'd be shocked if there's some way for him to essentially revoke that vote later and restore himself.

kas_tippler Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 It's all falling down like a house of cards, obviously there's been some back handers to certain countries. What's the most annoying thing is how England and Australia were led down the garden path thinking we were in line for a fair chance of getting the tournaments. I cannot see Russia & Qatar being stripped of hosting . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 A story in the press about a move to have Platini run as El Presidente.http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/article/2015/07/20/uefa-silent-platini-fifa-presidency-speculationAs I recall Platini had his finger prints all over the Qatar victory.

No thanks, and TBH I'm surprised that he apparently has support outside of Uefa.This is the bloke who came up with FFP, who knows what other retarded shit he plans.

Tesla Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 FFS so Platini is running. Can just see him destroying the sport with his retarded left wing ideas. The only thing he is good for is trolling the English and he can't do much of that as head of FIFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 for those who missed it ("Played") will be on iview for a couple of weeks. The corruption is just so depressing. Sport is supposed to be an escape from the reality not even worse than real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I feel really sad at how one of my football idols, Michel Platini, has fallen from grace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Excellent article by Les Murray about where reform at FIFA is heading. In case you thought it was safe to go back to the boardroom, it looks like the "open and transparent" days of Blatter are a thing of the past. http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/blog/2017/05/22/fifa-reforms-dead-and-buried Really, should Australia be a member of this organisation?

As FFA stands at the moment, it probably fits quite well into FIFA. What reforms and progress are we seeing out of FFA? I can name the FFA Cup, but elsewhere all I see out of FFA is talk and glossy brochures, backflips and missed target dates. Where are the reforms to the FFA Board? Where is the new funding model for the A-League? Where are the quantitative criteria for expansion? Where are the NYL and WWL going? And so on and so forth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 It turns out some people think FIFA are a bit dodgy? Should make for an interesting read. https://www.fairplaypublishing.com/store/p11/Whatever_It_Takes_-_The_Inside_Story_of_the_FIFA_Way.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
