Sod all to discuss, everyone knows FIFA is totally corrupt n has been fer many years. If this lot get charged, then found guilty, no doubt in my mind Blatter and others will get named, to ensure a lighter sentence, its called life.

Why?

In what way does it really affect Stanley? Rovers? Dingles?

Tried to point out how meaningless the world cup had become and that only the spongers were gaining during the last one.

Google what has happened to some of the stadia used in the that one, how ordinary working class Brazilians are still up to their eyeballs in debt paying for them..and (ignoring what that halfwit Richard Keys has said today)...people working on the stadia in Qatar are living in atrocious conditions and are to all intents and purposes indentured servants.

But hey, at least we get to watch summer football every day for a month every four years....oh wait..Qatar

And from the replies in the thread I posted, nobody seemed interested in the corruption or spongers...just in the spectacle and the football.

So who really cares about who runs it or how corrupt they are? The only way Blatter will fall is if the money rebels... i.e. Visa, coke etc... withdraw their sponsorship because people will watch a world cup regardless

Made me chuckle. :D:D

Re: Sept Blatter Is Innocent
 

it was on talksport that so far 1200 people have died making the new stadiums in Qatar after they successfully bribed fifa to give them the world cup.The final figure of deaths that will happen building these stadiums is estimated at around 4000

FIFA is a registered charity yet cant give any money to improve health and safety conditions for people shipped hundreds of miles to work for a pittance with a strong possibility of never returning home alive or at the very least ensure that people working to host the world cup have basic safety and decent pay

if a country cant pay decent and fair wages and also ensure safety regulations they shouldnt even be allowed to put their name forward to host the world cup

i think our England team should pull out of the world cup until fifa is dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up or a new organization set up that any country fed up with fifa is more than welcome to join

The living conditions of the workers shown on TV were typical of the ME - certainly Saudi, Bahrain, the UAE and Pakistan.
Working conditions are atrocious, passports are held by the employer, monies are held back until the job is finished, salaries not paid, food (which is often provided as part of the contract), is atrocious.
In Saudi there is a clause in every government contract that the main contractor can take over payment to sub-contractor workforce if the workers are not paid. Northrop Grumman invoked that clause during a rather large contract there and deducted the moneys from the contract stage payments - so the main contractor does have the right to ensure that sub-contract workers are treated reasonably well and they should use that right.
I have played football in Saudi and been to a number of matches there - fine in winter, after dark under a clear sky - in summer, day or night is not pleasant, I would suggest it is definitely dangerous.

Re: Sept Blatter Is Innocent
 

He must have got the message at last - Blatter has resigned. With people being named now he must have got a little concerned - when you throw crap at a blanket or into a fan it sticks everywhere.

Re: Sept Blatter Is Innocent
 

Probably resulted from interviews of those in custody, wouldn't shock me at all.when the craps gonna hit the fan its a good idea to try avoid it.?:D

We have seen one corrupt organisation beheaded and castrated, can we look forward to the same happening to another corrupt organisation - the EU?
