Farcical, the lot of it.
Well done to the two ladies though, I hope this opens the door for others to speak out.

If Blatter publicly states that he has read the document and if it is found to contain damaging i nformation. Then conceivably it is a dereliction of duties if he failed to act on it.If he says he hasn't read it, this gives him an excuse to test the state of the situation later.
I am quite sure Sepp has read the document.

Good point, I didn't think of that angle and I reckon you have it right.
Surely its a failure on his part to state he has not read, what is conceivably the most important document in FIFA's history, or certainly during his tenure. I just cannot believe the scale of the scandal surrounding this corrupt organisation and he is still at the helm. If he gets another term, there will be a massive fallout from other world governing bodies, or at least I hope there will be.

Everyone who isn't bent, thinks he's a corrupt fucking turd, so already want him out anyway, the ones who vote for him, don't care that he's a corrupt turd, or what he does, or what he says, so long as he does right by them. So he can make as many mistakes as he likes. It doesn't matter.
This is probably him realising that the original whitewash attempt was about to fail, which would cause him big shit, so give the public a couple of soft targets & hope it ends there, whilst telling everyone that's it; it's all sorted now.
But I just can't see how he will get away with this. Even if 70% of the world's football associations are willing to let it lie in the end, which would suggest an enormous level of corruption, it still would leave 30% which aren't willing to sweep it under the table & that would most likely include England, Germany & USA, Holland, Ireland for a start, as they have all spoken previously, before this came out. Now there is evidence starting to appear, this will be the tip of the iceberg I recon, & 'whistle blowing' will be commonplace in the years to come.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has rejected FA chairman Greg Dyke's call to publish ethics investigator Michael Garcia's report into allegations of corruption in World Cup bidding.
Blatter has replied to a letter from Dyke, saying publishing the report would break Fifa's rules and Swiss law but every person in the report would have to give consent to publication.
"Fifa would violate not only its own rules and regulations but also Swiss law by making public the report in question," said Blatter
"We have been advised that publication of the report might be permissible if the persons and entities included in the report consent to such publication and waive any legal action they might be entitled to bring."

Let's face it, the President of FIFA puts himself above kings/queens, governments, and nations, demanding tax/vat free status as well as taking control of all things from hotel booking policies to TV rights. If you can put yourselves above another countries laws you can surely make your own rules up for your own.
I equate FIFA HQ to the Vatican. You better have fucking big bollox to go in their and arrest their leader.

Told you: Watergate. Wait til the FBI get stuck into them & they all start trying to save themselves from prosecution. With a bit of luck, they'll find something on Platini. He voted for Qatar I believe ? Why would anyone vote for a World Cup in Qatar, except for money or favours ?
May as well hold it at the North Pole or under the fucking sea.

Lescott would be a world beater if it was played under the sea.
