But no one had an issue with it until the last World Cup bid. It's always been this way, and everyone was happy until then. The fact that it's corrupt isn't cool, but then I don't think there's a way of stopping it, there will always be a way, whoever is in charge. There's way too much money involved...
Well yes England did throw the toys out of the pram. I wasn't going to say anything in case stopmeandslapme accused me of being anti English again
The problem is that it discredits the league so they are unwilling to report it unless there's a massive police investigation.
england were less corrupt than everyone else....doesn't make it right but it did give them a genuine cause for a grievance. As soon as the result was announced England should have pulled out of that stupid friendly in Thailand or wherever it was.
Not really, that's like saying "I only raped her a little bit", they were just as bad, they just got shafted
I called you anti-English once because of something you said, can't remember what. The English/British (BBC) media discussing FIFA corruption is hardly "throwing the toys out of the pram". Why shouldn't the corruption be reported? Any chance of some tips next time there's a fixed game on?
Discussing is definitely not the right word... EVERY SINGLE ****ING PAPER/NEWS REPORT/... HAVE BEEN GOING ON ABOUT IT FOR AGES. There's nothing new, they thought it'd finally be their turn after wasting millions year after year, since deep down they knew it was corrupt but didn't say anything to not upset Fifa. Now that the Triesman case and Panorama have been breaking their balls, there's no chance of us getting it in the foreseeable future
Yep I ****ed that sentence up, my head hurts... Should have been: After the Triesman and Panorama allegations, there was no chance of us getting it then or in the foreseeable future
Stephen Fry is a smug twat and I'd like to burn down the next media outlet which publicises anything he has written on Twitter.
He was great in Blackadder though and Jeeves and Wooster. No idea about the Twitter stuff, don't go on it, wouldn't even read my own "tweets".
stopme if you think Fry is a national treasure because he was in Blackadder, Graham Norton was in Father Ted, and he deserves to die...
