Farcical Idiocy Fishy Antics

Have you heard the one about F.I.F.A?  That's it - that's the gag.  It's all a complete joke.  Blatter is apparently 'deeply moved' at being 'reelected' and the rest of the world (Benin included) thinks that England is nothing more than a pain in the bum.  I mean, really?

Now I'm not suggesting that David Bernstein should've kept his mouth shut and nodded with the men in suits, but I can't help but feel that his eleventh hour protest was a little ill conceived.  To assume that members of an organisation corrupt to the core, would adjust their plans merely since we say so, is a tad naive. 

I'm all for change, hell, I voted yes for AV, but I also realise that F.I.F.A is the ultimate boys club and as such, you have to play smart in order to create any real progress.  (I realise the irony there after admitting that I was in favour of AV!)  

Our little objection, whilst honorable and ballsy, will not turn the tide.  In fact, it's probably made the long term goal a little further out of reach.  How this is escaping the notice of the already isolated FA, I really don't know.  I hope they have another trick up their sleeve.  

Moreover, I look forward to seeing if Sepp Blatter's definition for a new period of 'F.I.F.A transparency' is in line with our understanding of these words in English. Afterall there seems to be some confusion over the term reelected...
