Dutch football body opposes winter World Cup

Me too mate. But it's like all politics, before official reports are published they've already nullified all the meaningful opposition, leaving just the unsupported blowhards in the press, or the small irrelevancies that no one will back, to make a few noises before everyone fall's into place.

It's a done deal.

 

It was from the minute Blatter was bought.

 

Corrupt regimes will always crumble eventually no matter how indestructible they appear.

From Mussolini to the Ku Klux Klan they all fall eventually.

FIFA have benefited from 'the Emperor's new clothes' for years but it may only take one little voice to make others listen.

Let's hope the Dutch can be the innocent little child who isn't part of the hypocrisy

 

It's a nice idea. Won't hold me breathe though. It would be great to see FIFA implode!

 

At least the Qatar military are well equipped should ISIS qualify for the tournament, they've got great tanks.

Is that made of lego?

 

Own up. Who`s been flogging them WW2 stuff?

 

We never do anything in the bastard things so we may as well set the tempo and withdraw from it

 

Sad but true.

 

Bit early to throw the towel in yet mate. We've got some humiliation to suffer yet!

 

I believe it was 'S. Blatter & Sons' .......... double dealing since 1946

 

Blatters army surplus stores.

I wouldn`t be the least bit surprised.

 

Typical Swiss eh ...... if they can hide the gold from the teeth of concentration camp victims I'm sure they're capable of anything.

I seem to remember, about 10 years ago, Blatter boastfully declaring an '8000 feet above sea level' limit for matches.

Now he decides that playing in afucking desert is a good idea

 

I would be careful lobbing insults about. Dublin has lots of Universities and a far better standard of education that we have here

 

According to reports on Sky, it looks like EUFA maybe starting to play hardball.

There may be some mileage in the Dutch's opening moves after all.

Fingers crossed lads!

 

Netherlands football body reject exposing their players to the summer heat of Dubai, and will not change its football programme for a winter tournament. They also have a candidate for head of Fifa, and have 3 European votes secured. There is strong feeling in the Netherlands against Fifa with all the corruption accusations surrounding Fifa,

 

Make that 4 ...... you can put me down for one

 

You can see what I said on #17 above. I guess I assumed that it would be just another national FA kicking up a fuss, but eventually buckling under somewhere down the line.

I hope I'm wrong on that, that maybe this could be just the first move in Europe looking at the cold hard facts, assessing their strength, financially and input, resource-wise, in terms of players involved, and maybe taking a hardline, at long last. It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this meeting next week.

You just know that, ultimately if Europe says no, that FIFA will play the race/religion card!

 

you had better start to making the difference between insults and quips ,and be careful from what ?

 

Leprechauns I would imagine..
