Blatter wins again

In the Grauniad every day they have a referendum for readers on some burning question or other. Readers vote online, yes or no, and the result is given the following day.

Yesterday's question was "Would you have voted for Sepp Blatter in FIFA's presidential election?"
Results just in this morning...
YES 4%, ABSTAIN 96%

 

....and the bloody Welsh FA voted FOR him - I wont be applying for Welsh citizenship

 

Makes you wonder about the 4%

 

Dont blame you Leo.

 

True!
This is just about the closest any of these votes have come to a whitewash. Usually these votes come out 60-40 or at an extreme 20-80. Never known one this extreme. The country is (virtually) united. At least, the Guardian reading element is.

Obviously the paper were having a laugh, which is why i posted it- made me chuckle anyway. The abstentions were all of course NO.

 

Don't blame you - the required brain operation is just too risky

 

This is almost a WBGS re-union

 

Blimey, No Leo stay away from the citizenship route, BB`s right !
I cant understand why the Welsh FA voted for Blatter ,That farce should have been cancelled and new candidates found and a new election date called!

 

in the actual election though he got well over 50%, they love him there cos he lets them get away with murder

 

It is a farce. The funniest bit recently I thought was Jack '9 bob note' Warner taking the moral high ground. These people are poisonous, and the fact that football vaguely survives their presence does not make them any more palatable.

 

Need these so called administrators of the world game , to administrate somewhere else,preferably Mars!

 

TBF other elections have been one with only 1 candidate, Hitler Stalin. O wait these were dictators

 

What amazes me is that England yet again seem to stand alone - what is it with sheep mentality that makes people go with the crowd instead of thinking for themselves and standing on their principles - Wales claimed they would get more influence being on the "inside" - yeh - bllocks

 

Sir Stanley must be rotating in his grave at high revs.

 

Well said Leo , I suppose that turns us into the black sheep of world football though!

 

Not quite true in Hitler's case goldenboy. What do they teach at school these days?

 

haha probably taught me right bolton boots, but then I suppose I'm in the second half of the human race

 

never heard that used before but love it - shame I'm in the first half

 

For those of you living in other countries - what do their press say about the Blatter thing - IS IT just England?

 

I bet you it's just england Russia and Quatar aren't going to be complaining lol, there all crooks, from the FA to UEFA to FIFA the whole system needs changing
