Said and Done part deux

Meanwhile: Steve Evans’s week one press conference highlights. Evans on morale:“I think the players saw a corner turned when Steve Evans walked in”; On his work ethic:“When Steve Evans asks players to be brave, I want them on the ball”; On his vision:“I’m a realist. Steve Evans doesn’t lie in bed and dream”; And on a fake Steve Evans quote circulating on Twitter:“What a scandalous, horrible thing to attribute to Steve Evans.”

Clarification of the week
Brazil: Fluminense president Peter Siemsen addressing the press after referee Leandro Vuaden reported him for shouting “crook, thief, robber, son of a bitch, you whistle for the rich”. Siemsen: “Yes I was aggressive, verbally aggressive. But let me say this: he deserved it.”

Man of the week
Bahrain’s Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim al-Khalifa – bringing change to Fifa with a run at the presidency. Giving his campaign an edge: his family’s no-nonsense politics, including 2011’s alleged torture of pro-democracy footballers, and June’s jailing of opposition leader Ali Salman – sentenced to four years for “insulting an official body”. He denies wrongdoing.

Plus: warning of the week
Brazil: New Ceará president Robinson de Castro pledging “new credibility”, a fortnight after official mascot Grandpa was seen tearing his head off in anger after a disallowed goal. In 2012 Grandpa was banned for two games for “a series of obscene gestures” at Ferroviário fans, with media linking it to a 2009 flare-up when Ferroviário’s mascot Jubaitola “tried to hump Grandpa” on the pitch. FA: “Grandpa will miss the games against Tiradentes and Guarani Juazeiro.”

•Best comic timing – September: Uganda’s FA president Moses Magogo wins promotion to Fifa’s Security and Integrity Committee. October: Uganda’s FA targeted by the nation’s Financial Intelligence Authority investigating alleged money-laundering. Magogo: “It’s business as usual. There is no crisis here.”

Greece: Olympiakos – whose owner Evangelos Marinakis denies match-fixing, bribery and having an ex-referee’s bakery blown up – unveiling an online betting firm as its new shirt sponsor, replacing the current deal with Unicef.

With credit to the Granuird as usual.

 

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players

 

But where do the audience sit?

 

A bit of Bill there I see mate.

 

We are all the audience as well, standing room only, Shakespeare understood the human condition way before any idiot with an "ology" got a degree

 

Yep, don't think they bother with him in schools anymore, bit too complex for the current generation of teachers.

 

But I paid for a seat!
