    His ban from all football related activities is due to expire in October this year, having been reduced on appeal from 8 years to 4.

    No way on Earth Qatar is getting cancelled, there’s too money already been spent. I’d love to see the FA unilaterally boycott the competition, but that won’t happen.

    It would be good if the FA did boycott it. About time someone brought this UEFA to it's knees, it's been corrupt for way too long, and we all just accept it as the norm.

    Aye would be great but you are right, it will never happen.
    Surely they could pull it from Qatar without legal issue if it is proven that Qatar obtained the hosting rights illegally?

    In any event at least the ****ers responsible are getting nailed now though......

    They pulled Brussels from being a host of Euro 2020 and gave their allotted games to England.
    Now wouldn't that be a great result if the slimy bent frog gets banged up, ****ed up, and we get the World Cup*

    Why don't they just move it to somewhere more suitable. Like Azerbaijan. <whistle>

    A bit like ditching Brexit because the leave campaign was funded with dirty money from Aaron Banks and a dark web of Russian money.

    Ain't gonna happen

    Meh, the other countries are just pissed that they didn't offer more, they're all bent. Plus, look at the competition for WC '22, of the final choices only Qatar and Australia havn't had a world cup, the others all within the last 25 years FFS, don't try and tell me USA, Japan & Korea got into the final choice on merit.
    As for Platini, mehehehehe.

    The USA, Japan & Korea had decent enough bids and the expansion of football to justify the corruption, though. Qatar is a joke.

    ^This

    We were willing to put up with a little corruption, we knew it had always been there, but Qatar was a step too far.
    No footballing history, no infrastructure, either in terms of stadiums, training grounds or other facilities, Weather in which you cannot even play football without risk of sunstroke and/or death, and you know damn well they are not going to be ready in time for 2022. Its one big shower of ****.

    Plus the slavery, deaths, no drinking, no gays, no local fans, switching it to Winter, etc. It's ridiculous.

    Yup,you cannot tell me that FIFA hadn't considered any of this when choosing Qatar.
    They decided to disregard it all for the sake of a brown envelope, disgusting, and so ****ing blatant!
    It was totally a step too far!
