Switzerland seek Fifa arrests!

I see that Sepp Blatter has been admitted to hospital after suffering what is being called a "small emotional breakdown". Maybe I'm just cynical but I can't help but feel that this is the first stage of ploy that will see him be declared as too unwell to face trial when the time comes....

Seems very convenient timing and can see him using this trick again. I think he'll stand trial. Not sure about the outcome and the word Teflon springs to mind

Hey, have some respect and less of the cynicism, he nearly died apparently. So he's certainly got my sympathy now, as by saying that he was virtually on deaths door he has changed my view of him from being a vile corrupt despot who would sell the game of football out to North Korea if he and his corrupt cronies in FIFA could make money out of it, to a honorable and misunderstood man who should actually win the Nobel Peace prize.

Shame on you.... ;)

Etics committee asking for a life ban on Platini mmm that payment obviously wasn't very legit.

This is playing out exactly how I thought it would. I've thought all along this is all about Blatter stopping Platini taking over. Looking more and more likely that it's gonna work.

On death's door? Well he might have felt like that but have not many of us felt the same after a serious night out! Feeling really, really crummy is not quite the same as actually being on death's door. And so we get a BBC headline that says Sepp Blatter: Suspended Fifa president was 'close to dying' A load of blather from Blatter more likes - Honestly :)
 
Rather 'blazarre' press conference by Blatter - all resentment and self-pity. Never mind Seppo - you'll understand your own part in your downfall in the fullness of time and acceptance will do you good.
 
So whilst fans are causing riots in Poland and the corruption still rumbles on

FIFA's main issue is not allowing England , Wales and Scotland to wear poppies because they see them as "political" despite the players wanting to wear them to remember

And also informing Scotland they can't wear their blue strip against England because there is a one inch strip of white on the arm !!

Good to see they have their priorities sorted

So until everything is perfect, they should ignore all of the rules?
