Amazing revelations already today. Funds of $10m were allegedly transferred as a bribe for the South Africa tournament and claims that bribery and improper behaviour have occurred ā€œtournament after tournamentā€ since 1991.

I canā€™t see how Sepp Blatter is going to secure the FIFA presidency with a straight face. While he has not been indicted today, all of this has happened underneath his watch. At best, it paints the picture of someone that has chosen people very badly and hasnā€™t been particularly careful about the internal scrutiny of the organisation.

The Home Associations still carry a lot of weight. I think theyā€™ve got to be instrumental in rebuilding whatever comes next. Itā€™s not like there is much choice in the FIFA presidential elections.

This is all talkSPORT are really going on about at the moment. The Attorney General Loretta Lynch is pushing this hard, and worked the case for years prior to her elevation to the AG spot. Background and clout. This could be very interesting.

If they can make this happen, it will be a miracle. God bless America.

'Murica is finally good for something at leastā€¦? They really only care about the money they lost by not getting another world cup in the states. Not that this country has any business hosting a world cup anyway. A ragtag group of hipsters, ex-pats and 10 year olds watching Man U on NBC donā€™t change the fact that almost everyone here hates ā€˜soccerā€™.

Not that popular on Twitter, sadly.

Meh, the masses donā€™t understand anything. Itā€™s a cult classic in the making.

The inspiration actually comes from a classic. Itā€™s one the few decent lines that ā€œMike the Cool Personā€ got in the Young Ones. Christopher Ryan got jipped for lines on that show.

I feel like Iā€™m carrying this thread on singlehandedly, either through ā€œreplying to myselfā€, or creating disgusting sausage-based Sepp hybrids that elicit disgust and wonder in equal measure.

One depressing little thing from this left-wingerā€™s perspective was all the talk of sponsor power today. ā€œAh, FIFA have had it now, because VISA and McDonalds are saying itā€™s wrongā€.

*sigh*

Itā€™s a short read, but worth it as it uncovers an interesting conspiracy theory. :slight_smile:

FFS Ohio, itā€™s not widely known, but The Manā€™s banning of pap was part of a coordinated attempt to wean him off conspiracy theories.

Now you come along and put his therapy back months.

Cheers, mate!

summer world cup 2015 would be pretty sweet tho! I would be so pumped if they announced impromptu world cup tomorrow!

I am u-turn anyway, i am pro-blatter now, i am going to my local polling station tomoz and vote for him. I admire his fuck-you attitude! I have got no problem with him making a little cheddar on the side. I would be exactly the same if i had his job.

Which in itself, is a conspiracy theory.

Years now, thanks to your intervention, bletch!

They always say that about sponsorsā€¦until the controversy blows over and they get back on boardā€¦

Itā€™s pretty clear to me that at least one of Papā€™s investigations must have been getting pretty near to The Truth, for The Man to shut him down like he did. I wonder which one it was? Prob i.e. the one where the Twin Trousers are still standing, or i.e. the one where there is no moon.

Ha, I seriously doubt it. The only thing I was seriously discussing this year was the nasty business in Westminster, and thatā€™s more news these days than conspiracy theory.

There were obviously a few people that took the hump so I just took a lot of that discussion elsewhere. Weirdly enough, it was all the people that hated conspiracy theorists that ended up bringing conspiracy theories up over the past year.

We will never know why I was banned. I doubt steve knows. Iā€™d expect reinvestigatepapsbanning.com to become a thing in the near future. The theories will rage for years.
