I think there's a difference between a participant seeking to gain and advantage and getting caught breaking the rules and the owners of those rules actively colluding to circumvent them for their pals.

He only needs 106 votes from FIFA members to get re-elected. And he has 111 from South America, Asia and Africa due to funneling of money into their organisations. The only way anything happens is if UEFA walks away. In the meantime he'll toady up to Trump, fix things so that Saudi Arabia can host a World Cup and organise more and more stupid summer club tournaments and nothing happens. It's the same in Formula 1. You need a representative from each continents motoring organisation to support you to be able to run for president except South America has one (who just happens to be the wife of the former owner of F1, Bernie Ecclestone and who supports the incumbent) so it's impossible for anyone to challenge someone who is obviously not up to the job. Trump himself is trying to do the same thing with the Save America Act which is aimed at stopping people who might vote for someone else to have the ability to vote at all.

Methinks the baldie doth protest too much.

I particularly loved the wave of dribble at the end. If ever you wanted an example of why social media is a bad thing you need look no further than this video.

Every time I see a bitter Scot I remember that Cape Verde made it to the knockout stages. And they didn't. Also that our match against Panama was the one which made them mathematically unable to qualify.

It's funny how Rangers fans are all over his latest YouTube interview displaying similar levels of PTSD to fans of his previous clubs and being told to get over it.

https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/139537-martin-russell-he-says/ It's all about the energy. Plus all the usual bollocks about working harder than the other side and playing dominant football.

If he instructed his agents to use the technicality to get out of the extension then he really doesn't want to be here. All the best Ross. Sorry we only got to see half a season of you in 4 years. Hope your next club are as accommodating as we were.

Sell him and recruit a striker?

Only if we tie him to the right contract

Meanwhile in Middlesborough as the news was being received.

Only from protecting his near post. He'd now be retiring from keeping the other parts of the goal as well.

The opposing team can't shoot if they don't have the ball. Baz is a necessary component in the quest for 100% possession. Shot stopping isn't necessary in a modern football team.

If history has taught us anything it is that the lesson he has learned will be that he should have commited more fully to his philosophy. Or to put it in Martin terms - he wasn't brave enough.

We should stop being the final pay day for former players at the end of their careers. JWP said he was only going to a top team and went to.... West Ham where he couldn't even get in the team that was relegated.
