FIFA in trouble FINALLY over Qatar World Cup bid

[Goaters 103]

One can only hope the WC is shifted to USA, Australia or basically anywhere lese than a country totally unsuitable to host a summer football tournament.

Word is the Qatar "bIdding committee" are moving on and have won the rights to the Winter Olympics - once again they deny any accusations of bribery between them and the IOC.

you were dangerously close to actual comedy there. Be very careful my friend.

Just heard on radio that FIFA have made a statement that a re vote is now required after these serious allegations have come to light ! Bent cunts !

A cynic might suspect a new vote offers an opportunity to top up their bank accounts again.

A gift that keeps giving. They probably leaked those emails themselves.

That was my first thought. They get a way out of the whole Winter World Cup fiasco, probably keep some change & pocket another handful from the stand-in. And noone gives a shit whether they are now 'officially' corrupt or not, as their reputation is FUBAR anyway.

Crafty bastards.

Let me get this straight. A load of bent bastards vote for Qatar after taking back-handers for their votes. They then get caught with their pants down, so instead of a full investigation and half of them being sacked they get to stick their snouts in the trough again?

It's not just the giver who's bent, it's those who receive that are the worst.

i was thinking this morning...it's amazing that as organized criminals and racketeers around the world get more and more educated, professional and sophisticated...these cunts at FIFA and UEFA get more and more barbaric in their methods of fraud and criminality and suffer no penalty. When will someone put this group to the sword and end the illusion? It's fucking amazing. Although, i guess in hindsight the IoC is the most similar org and they are bent as fuck, or have been over time, as well.

The whole setup is created for bungs. Bungs R Us should be their name. Worse than an Indian civil servant these days. Even they've had to get their collective act together in the face of technology and modernity.

I suspect that if proven, this will be the straw that breaks the camels back. I also suspect that proving it is going to be the difficult bit, as FIFA have a history of making a sacrifice a la Warner, then closing ranks. That said, it going to be difficult to get anyone to believe that bin Hammam and a few delegates acted in isolation.

[lets all have a disco]

So FIFA have been caught out and shown to be bent bastards (shock horror).


Next UEFA.

Bite your tongue. These are the pillars of the footballing world.

Platini with questions to answer about secret meeting with Bin Hammam according to tomorrow's Telegraph. Incredibly he voted for Qatar. Couldn't happen to a nicer man.

He's probably fined us to pay the bribe.

Blatter said the other week that political pressure from France and Germany where Qatar have significant interests was what drove the Qatar vote, so it's not that incredible that he voted for Qatar.

The extent to which this is true, and the extent to which outright corruption took place is where the waters are muddied, but that admission alone shows that the decision to vote for Qatar was at the very least a politically motivated move rather than a football based decision

Most of the significant footballing investment in France from Qatar came after the vote though - a cynic might say the vote (and Platini's very public support of Qatar before the vote took place) was a prerequisite of the investment.

Some would point out that Platini's son got a job working for the PSG ownership AFTER the WC voted Qatar as a host - a host nation completely unsuitable but whom Platini openly admits he voted for.

Some would also seek to point out that Platini is a bent, corrupt, bitter, fat French turd with an agenda that floats with whoever whispers in his ear and lines his pockets, rather than what his mandate is which is to act in the best interests of European football.

Quite a few out there would hope this whole scandal brings down Blatter and Fifa, brings down Platini and half of Uefa, causes PSG's Qatar ownership to eff off, leads to re-vote in 2022, and finishes with Platini, Blatter and Hoeness all jailed at the same time. A footballing hat-trick the true fan could savour. Well I can dream...

[blues2win]

I meant that Platini's support for Qatar was incredible if football criteria were used. To think that Australia and the US, two highly credible bidding countries, received almost no support was a disgrace.

No, I'm afraid what Blatter is talking about is way above football in the food chain.

The Qatari sovereign wealth funds have been buying all sorts up all over Europe, and are still being encouraged to do more

French President François Hollande used a weekend visit to Qatar to call for more investment from the gas-rich Gulf state to boost job creation in France.

Mr Hollande told business leaders he hoped more Qatari money could be lured into France’s services and industrial sectors, with a reciprocal rise in French companies implementing the grand development ambitions of this fast-growing Gulf state.

“We have reached a balance (of bilateral investments) and wish to preserve that and want to increase the volume of that exchange,” he told a news conference in Doha, noting that France was trailing behind the UK and Germany in the race to lure Qatari petrodollars.
Qatar, which has been flexing its financial muscle since the credit crisis, has made several investments in French companies and real estate, amounting to as much as $15bn in the past few years. The ruling family has also invested significant amounts of money in Paris.

I'll be shocked & very pleasently surprised if anything worthwhile happens short term, as the whole organisation is corrupt, but they mat get the cunts eventually.

I agree that it seems like criminals, drug smugglers, terrorists etc have to employ all manner of ingenious trickery to evade detection/capture, wheras FIFA/UEFA reps can just balatantly go on the screaming piss with people who are obviously trying to influence them, & basically light cigars with £50 notes in front of the general public, without anyone doing anything to stop it.

World Cup aside, in what other business could you have an authority openly canvassing opinion from a cartel about how to place artificial limits on the growth of a rival company, like Platini has done with City ? Even having reps from the rival companies sitting on the panel & forcing their rivals to reveal details of their sponsors etc & exactly what deals they have made ?

It's just incredible that governments etc have sat back & allowed this blatant level of obvious corruption to happen. Having said that, when they took the piss out of England over the World Cup, they also took the piss out of the British Government, so it wouldn't surprise me if they don't have a few blokes from MI6 compliling a large file on this & a few countries were very pissed off with the Qatar situation . There could be intelligence sharing.

[Hazy2]

As long as 2+2 = 4 Platini will be found to be a corrupt cunt.
Son gets Job with Qatar sports company, PSG are not privvy to Dads thoughts are they ?

He now has to admit meeting Bin Hamman, after it leaks.Simple maths BENT CUNT along with Blatter Taking the piss !

[gillie]

The stench of corruption in this case is nauseating but not a fuckin thing will happen to the bent cunt's.

[Beefymcfc]

Ha ha ha, the heir to the throne has been thrown to the dogs by Blatter. Fucking priceless.

Where did those breaches come from?

However, I think Platini might just slime out of this one and force Blatter out; eventually.

[BobbyJ1956]

Apparently one of the Qatar people was asked what this $5 million fund represented and he said "Thursday."
