Being reported that Blazer has confirmed bribes were accepted for the World Cups in France and South Africa. Who was head of the French organising committee? No wonder Platini was supporting Blatter.

I was told, by someone on the ACL side, that the amount CCFC are being asked for to use the system is "ridiculous".

Contract was extended to Summer 2015 back in March 2010. Unless we've signed a further extension which hasn't been reported anywhere we're not under contract to Puma anymore. Suspect the away kit being advertised as two seasons is the usual disorganisation at the club.

They were paper last year, think that was as much to do with the rush to get them produced as anything else. This year they are hoping to go back to cards but the last I heard ACL wanted a big chunk of change as an admin fee for access to the system.

The circumstances are probably nobody remembered to order it! :facepalm:

I can see Russia still getting theirs but surely the Qatar one is at least going to be rerun.

To be honest I'm half expecting this, would not be surprised if our matches somehow don't qualify as big enough events to run the promised extra services. Or the police will knock it on the head, there doesn't look to be anywhere for segregation, lets say we go up next season and have matches...

It had better not happen again, I was so bored I did some actual work today.

Sad news, seemed a decent enough bloke and that's pretty unusual in politics. See the Mail are up to their usual standard implying he drunk himself to death because of the election result. Nothing like running with a story when there's zero facts to back it up.

He was decent enough, preferably as cover, and can't be costing much. Not got a problem with this, especially if TM can improve him further.

And agree, credit where its due to Dyke. I think you have to say of the 'bigger' footballing nations we've been the ones really pushing this. Platini seems thick as thieves with FIFA and the Germans had already ruled out a boycott before UEFA met to discuss the possibility.

Didn't think he'd go until he was forced. Has he been tipped off that those already arrested have dropped him in it and given the chance to resign ahead of any further action?

That info isn't coming out until after the fixtures are released (which is mid June normally I think).

Not sure I'd agree, not if you want a large number of people travelling by train as it doesn't look like a facility that could cope. The platform looks pretty small not to mention narrow and from the pictures there doesn't appear to be a holding area. What happens if we happen to get a big cup...

He's a decent enough squad player and you would imagine it would be a fairly quick deal to do. What does it matter who is announced first? Its not like we're going to be signing Messi, pretty much everyone who comes in will be players most people barely know.

and decide what shade of blue sky blue actually is and stick with it.

Even Blatter can't play the 'I wasn't aware' card on this one can he? As you say the number of times accusations have been levelled at FIFA that are right in line with what has happened should make that impossible. The FBI haven't done something this high profile to just let it be swept under...

Seems to me what Coventry is lacking is it's Bull Ring. Brum council saw what was missing and did something about it where our council celebrate getting a Wagamama which must already be in pretty much every city in the country. Unless they have a plan and do something to attract the higher end...

They've just been showing a press conference with one of the US attorneys. "Blatter has not been charged or arrested, yet" I hope there's a reason he added that yet at the end.

Given the way we get treated as an afterthought would anyone be surprised if our matches don't count as special events.
