        @Megatron1505:

        Isn't Blatter like 150 years old or something? He's like the Emperor Palpatine of football.

        More like Emperor Ming…

          Ming and Palpatine were turned down for jobs at FIFA for being too morally upstanding.

          You've got to hand it to Blatter though. At a time when a large number of senior executives in his organisation are arrested for corruption, not only does he refuse to resign his position, but he claims to be the only candidate for election who could clean up FIFA.

            Why not?  He remains unindicted in a sea of corruption and criminality that goes back decades.  Only a man of unique moral character and astonishing conduct could manage such an unbelievable feat.

              It strikes me that either:

              • Blatter has either been complicit in, or tolerated the alleged corruption. Therefore he cannot be taken seriously as the leader to clean up FIFA.

              • He missed the signs that there was a bribery problem. In which case he's incompetent.

              • He and FIFA are actually innocent and purer than the driven snow on the peaks of the Swiss Alps! In which case he doesn't need to resign, but it might be prudent to do so in order to allow the organisation to continue with a fresh face.

                That Blatter chap, he's not so bad really is he, the press have got the wrong end of the stick about him. I hope he gets a 6th term.

                Not gonna happen ey  🙂

                                I was never happy with any of the work I farmed out (track, not road). Did all my own engine and suspension work, and even changed and balanced my own tires, as I considered it tantamount to packing one's own chute. But I did let a strange factory in a foreign land build the bike. @injunjack:

                                  I neither believe Team Sky's results, nor the results of the riders in and around their paddock.

                                    Someone needs to explain to me how Real McCoys doing Buco named gear is any different to the American clothing company who licensed the name Von Dutch?

                                    And I won't be accepting "but Real McCoys stuff is really well made, in Japan" as answer. So are many brands who aren't riding the Buco name.

                                      Is anyone claiming that it's not the same, @Megatron1505?

                                      It's licensing…
