2022 WC - Blatter claims racism

What a Fucking disgrace this clown is.

Just a wanker

A complete Tosser. They've been caught with their hands in the till, so he screams racism. The man is just not fit for purpose. Makes me so cross. Then when there is full on racism they fine a club a few quid. Pathetic

I had the same thoughts Blistering.  Paltry fine for racism incidents - but big fine for us for over-spenindg.

UEFA fined us not FIFA. They are totally different...oh wait...

Oh he's just a complete knob....can't believe anything this man says anymore.

Always used as the first deflective defence...claim 'racism or discrimination'.

What's more worrying is Brazil. All these protests and the fact that Thursday opening stadium, hasn't even been tested with a capacity crowd.

Isn't it FIFA's duty to ensure all these protocols are followed and abided by in a timely manner?

So, let's imagine worse case scenario....the ground is tested today or tomorrow with a capacity crowd...and fails the test. Do you honestly think:

a) they will reduce the capacity significantly for the opening game on Thursday?
b) change venues for the opening game?
c) they even tell us that it failed it's test and just go ahead anyway?

God forbid, if anything happens at this world cup at the stadiums and people get hurt or die...as the President of FIFA, Blatter should be held on account of corporate manslaughter...as he has had years to make sure these stadiums and infrastructure are suitable.

Wait, so let me get this straight: Italians who lob bananas at Black players isn't racist enough to be dealt with properly. Russian fans who make monkey noises at anyone who isn't paper white is not quite racist enough to stop them from getting a World Cup. But when we find reasonable evidence to suggest that the Qatari bid was fixed, they're all over it as a racist slur?

I know he says FIFA need to do everything they can to stamp out all forms of racism and discrimination, so how about they start by actually attacking racism instead of this nonsense!

Leo because he has to justify allowing Qatar the world cup so lies & more lies are conjured up to cover his tracks. The worst part about all this is the lawyer Garcia has been appointed by fifa so even he finds damning evidence which implicates Blatter as the main protagonist, You can bet your bottom dollar a cover up will be put in place, Garcia sacked for lies & taking Bribes etc etc, the British press made secret payments to Garcia to ensure Blatter was incriminated..... You can see the headlines.

Because there is no actual evidence of any racism or discrimination towards the Qatari's...just pure, unadulterated 'fixing'. Blatter is just like Platini. He shows nepotism towards anyone he can get a vote out of. The Russians? "They are not racist"...."2 more votes please Russia" Italy? "They've had the problem for years, it's part of their society"..."2 more votes please"

And his partner in crime get's on his high-horse about FFP! It's all coming together now.

The World Cup is being held in 2022 in Qatar, not Abu Dhabi.

Platini introduces a pathetic, hole-ridden rule to stop financial doping by clubs owned by wealthy people, yet stops short on clubs that are in massive debt, even if the interest is being serviced, money is being taken out of the clubs.

In the first 'test' case, Manchester City, owned by a man from Abu Dhabi get sanctioned, even though they have spent prudently, tried to abide by the rules and have not borrowed a penny. They now are going about their business in a manner that tows the FFP line.

PSG, owned by Qatari's, on the hand, spend, spend, spend, spend and stick 2 fingers up to FFP and Platini, yet receive the same punishment as Man City, owned by the Adu Dhabi's....and will still continue to spend considering the ridiculous amount of sponsorship they get yearly...

I wonder who Platini's Puppet-master is in all of this?
