    When all else fails then your best bet of getting your way is to bring up the trump card, which in his eyes is racism.

    Starting to get a bit fed up with hearing his excuses for just about everything that is wrong with his organisation. We all know that money talks but when I hear his kind of rants it makes me question where this supposed bribery money went. I fear he doth protest too much!

    FIFA's lack of action when racism occurs makes his comments hard to take seriously

    Spot on smhbcfc and I sometimes wonder what planet he is on, especially when he announced QATAR to host the World Cup - REALLY! I heard that Baghdad and Damascus have put in bids for when they find peace - DUH!

    This man is odious in the extreme.

    Accusations of corruption (with evidence) are 'racist' yet monkey chanting during games is worthy of several warnings then a £6000 euro fine.

    Fifa have Been fining clubs with racist fans paltry sums of money.......man city got fined more for being late out for the second half of a champions league match than any of the racist clubs, just about sums up FIFA's role it banishing racism from football! I don't want to sound cynical but would Man City's fine have anything to do with TV rights and money???

    Super cynical there redexile but again you are spot on. When are the governing bodies of our favourite sport going to follow up their words with the correct action? Probably never especially when it comes down to money. Oh cynical me.

    On a more sombre note, today I am remembering the terrible event that occurred in Oradour-sur-Glane 70 years ago today - Souviens-Toi.
