the times tommorow are gonna kick it right off, been getting advertised all week, got fifa running scared, hence blatters "we got qatar wrong" speech the other week, the fat cnut and platipus are going down and the world cup of 2022 will be in england
Good post mate, this stinks and every football supporter should be outraged. Blatter is a pompous hypocrite ..... how did he think he would get away with such an obvious fraud? Can't wait for the Times to arrive tomorrow.
Let's wait and see. It's now time for action like. If they were stripped of this, there will be some interesting questions. Will Qatar be compensated for any costs already made. And will there be a new bid inviting countries to submit the right to host?
I said a long long time ago the top European, South American & African teams etc should refuse to enter or fail to qualify and organise their own tournament at the same time. I know who the fans would follow. The TV companies will probably already be contractually obligated but I would bet my last pound they would televise the alternative World Cup.
It's got to be jail time, plain & simple, and it's got to lead an immediate vote of no confidence in the FIFA leadership. If it doesn't, then we know the whole bunch of them are just as bad, and the clubs, the nations, need to think about forming a new federation (which actually would not be difficult..). The 'we didn't tell him to do it...' line, that doesn't wash, anyone who's worked in competitive business knows that if an employee or member acts independently of company advice, then the company is automatically implicated. Bang to rights, now **** off you old ****, and let's get this World Cup to Australia, who were 2nd in the ballot.
But, without the corrupt votes and with the Oceanic vote reinstated, it would have been Oz, such a web of it mate, they tactically took people out of the voting the lot, insane.
Yeah Russia probs didn't pay any money., just had a few family members tactically assasinated, no biggie... Ha
Football's world governing body FIFA is facing new allegations of corruption after making the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, according to the Sunday Times. The newspaper has obtained details on secret documents, bank transfers, emails and letters which reportedly contain proof that former FIFA vice-president Mohammed Bin Hammam made bribes worth up to £3m in exchange for support within FIFA to award Qatar the tournament, set to take place in eight years time. Bin Hammam worked on behalf of the Qatar bid in the lead up to the decision over who would host the tournament, but since the decision was made it has been surrounded by controversy and doubt. FIFA president Sepp Blatter recently conceded it was a mistake to award the tournament to Qatar, with many suggesting that the tournament would be moved to the winter months to contest with the punishing climate in the Middle Eastern country. The report has also been seen by the BBC, who report that Bin Hammam was making moves and payments to dozens of FIFA officials to convince them to award the tournament to Qatar for over a year before the decision was made in 2010. Even though the disgraced former FIFA member denies the claims, the reports seem to point to the fact that Bin Hammam made payments to officials in Africa - with his strategy being that the officials he had made payments to would attempt to influence the four members of the African committee who had the ability to vote. The report from the Sunday Times also alleges that he paid £950,000 into bank accounts owned by another former FIFA vice president, Jack Warner, ahead of the vote. Warner himself was proven to have a hand in bribes within the organisation after it was proven he helped Bin Hammam bribe Caribbean football officials in return for their support in his bid to remove Sepp Blatter from his role as FIFA president. Warner resigned in 2011. The new evidence will continue to increase pressure on FIFA to re-do the vote over the destination of the tournament in eight years time.

"Plot to buy the World Cup." Other shock headlines this week, "Julian Clary likes it up the bot." "Hodgson sweats on squad's fitness." "Gazza seen drunk in night club!"
Couldn't possibly summise this, firstly it costs £2.50 (wtf) and there are 11 pages on the fooker and its just the beginning, by the looks of it there will be a re-vote for starters but fifa will fall, the whole thing was riddled from top to bottom, campaigners (such as us) will want money back, its huge, bribes ranging from cash to plastic surgery, breaches of fifa's rules of ethical behaviour everywhere, fraud bank accounts, no way on this earth sepp fatter and platipus are getting out of this, greedy cnuts have gone too far, hamman wont be the fall guy, he's just the start imo
