'Hot Pants' Blatter (04/06/11)


I find it hard to stop thinking and writing about Captain Sepp Blatter (75 ) and his good ship the SS FIFA.

At the FIFA congress in Zurich last week after he had been re-elected for a fourth term as President, Captain Blatter, thinking on his feet, asked delegates if they would like a 'woman' on the FIFA executive committee.

Now I haven't even bothered to check, but I presume this was because there were no women elected to the FIFA executive committee in their own right at the 2011 congress.

So, having a token woman co-opted on to the executive committee would presumably make FIFA look good or better in some people's eyes at least.

"Not a decision, just a suggestion, what do you think?", Captain Blatter enquired of  the assembled delegates.

And to their collective shame many of them started to clap and applaud his barmy idea.

A token woman, bolted on as a complete afterthought to the the World Footballing  organisation just what the game needs. 

Now Captain Blatter has form in this area when asked before about encouraging greater interest in women's football, he suggested that women players should wear 'tighter shorts'.

Creepy or what?

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
