Jimzk5 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) He's a word removed. But I must admit the picture he's provided is brilliant. Seconded. I think he is the happy shopper version of Sacha baron Cohen but seeing blatter like that has made my day Edited July 20, 2015 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 taken away the rumours from this morning that platini was going to begrudgingly run for FIFA president... Platini the great coward of FIFA politics. All talk and no action. Bottled to stand up against Blatter this year to protect his reputation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 Love or hate Lee Nelson as a character, but you seriously could not even Photoshop a better image of Sepp Blatter. The fact that he's had the cojones to blag his way in there and march up to the front saying "this is for the World Cup in North Korea 2026" is absolutely superb. It's not even comedy, it's a gesture on behalf of everyone who genuinely cares about football. Looks like that's real money too. And even though he's not funny, I am amused by him having a fat mate called "Omelette"! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Platini who was for years Batters protégée and in essence, FIFAs man at UEFA. Reading both Andrew Jennings books, all this recent public bravado from FIFA, such as the announcement of an 11 man committee to investigate corruption and the talk of transparency, is classic FIFA tactics to STOP anything coming out. They've been at it for years with the transparency line. No doubt the committee will have a few laughable figures on who have dodgy pasts plus token celebs who you wonder wtf are they doing on such a panel. For example, years ago Blatter proposed a committee to look at the ticket scandal for Korea/Japan (basically to protect the known touting from Jack Warner and Chuck Blazer) and suggested Placedo Domingo as one of the committee members. Of course a friend of Sepps. I just see classic Blatter/FIFA stalling tactics with this. Edited July 21, 2015 by stewiek2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 As much as I hate Blatter (and I really do hate him) and as funny as that situation is, I can't help be just see a rather scared and frightened old man when I look at that. It kind of takes the enjoyment away from seeing someone face about the closest thing to justice that they will ever be confronted with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 sort of reminds me of that time Berlusconi got attacked and everybody was laughing but then you realise its a 75 year old man its not really that funny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Eh? Rolf Harris is an old man but I don't feel sorry for the word removed. What's blatters age got to do with how much of a corrupt **** he is? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 His age is irrelevant. If he's able to run the worlds most corrupt sporting organisation he's able to take the shite that comes with it. The sight of him shitting himself when the banknotes went flying was glorious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he's not a nonce well leave the chap alone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 22, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2015 Nobody is defending Blatter least of all me, I want to see him brought down and to justice. I just don't take pleasure in seeing someon old enough to be my granddad looking scared like he does in that picture. When you see the video of it it is funny but when you see some of the pictures not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. People like Berlusconi and Blatter are happy to play the scared/doddery old man when it suits them. Neither should be running anything and both should be behind bars. If poor old Sepp can't handle a guy walking up to him and throwing money over him then he's not capable of running a corner shop never mind a multi-billion dollar organisation. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen. Edited July 22, 2015 by villa89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hadn't done what he has allegedly done that wouldn't have happened. It wouldn't have happened to your grandad, or most other 80 year olds. Nelson didn't jump out of a cupboard and scare him. This was directly related to what he's done, allegedly. He wasn't in danger. He didn't get hurt. As with most of his FIFA tenure he was just sitting in a comfy chair in a shower of banknotes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted July 22, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2015 PS let's see how scared he looks if this all proves true and he ends up being led down to spend the rest of his life in a cell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Blatter is at that age where he is savvy enough to be one or two steps removed from anything easily proven. Yet magically, if he gets anywhere near a court appearance he'll suddenly be in his 80's too ill to travel and he'll have doctors willing to say his memory has gone. That picture should be the only one that's ever used of the guy from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
