The FIFA Fiasco - Sepp Blatter resigns!

This is almost as exciting as election night in China.

 

:smiley-laughing002:

 

No one has got a 2/3 majority

 

There now has to be a second round

 

Blatter is getting re-elected Lets hope the yanks are waiting until his victory speech to arrest the *.

 

Ali bin Al Hussein 73(need 70 to win)
Auld * 133

 

Why did Figo pull out?

 

So he didn't split the opposition vote.

 

When Blatter wins I wonder if he will try to retaliate against all the nations that voted against him

 

Prince Ali concedes, Blatter is still President, * FIFA

 

Can't blame him, who can be * with that voting again? So boring.

 

Wait, Has he conceded?

 

He is rambling on like a mad man

 

why have we a challenger from the Arab confederation ?
would it not have been more sensible for one of the European delegates to stand against him ?
or a south American delegate.
seems that by putting a delegate from a low ranking confederation, they've just handed Blatter a by.
more sense the opposition coming from a more powerful delegate.

 

FIFA have been a corrupt joke for decades!

 

Well that's that, then. Should be interesting to see how UEFA backs up their statements prior to this, along with the other FA's across Europe.

 

He's such a brilliant supervillain.

 

* off you've got to be kidding me!?!?!?

Boycott the World Cup!!

 

Why the * do people even care? Even if someone else was implemented it would not make a difference to Scotland, nor the SPFL or Celtic?

I really couldn't give a * if slimey baldy * grease their palms with dodgy deals - it affects me not. It happens everywhere in the system - in our political system and people are kicking up a fuss about this.

What aggravates me most is the amount of arsebandits saying England should get the world cup in 2018 now, how they were hard done by and 'clean'. Well, no you shouldn't, you have not a * given right to it and you also partook in bribery - you were just * at it. Also, the rest of Britain has to help pay that bill - no thank you, London 2012 was galling enough.

Also, look at Diegan's post - there is a reason why he was not arrested.

 

Most of Europe and most big American countries were against Blatter, the problem is all the confederations have an equal vote, so islands with 4 teams and 1 pitch get the same influence as say Germany. For Blatter to lose a lot of African confederations and Asian confederations needed to turn against him. IMO an Arab had the best chance at that, Arab for the Northern African countries, Asian for them countries and maybe even turning a few of the more southern African confeds because he's Muslim.

Didn't work though.

There isn't much a better leader could do for Scotland or the SPFL anyway, that's the SFAs job. People are * about Qatar exhausting slaves to death and Fifa being run by a dinosaur with no plans to progress the sport like every other sport in the world has done.
