‘For the good of the game’
By: Craig | December 5th, 2006
What a prize chump Sepp Blatter is. I mean, seriously, what is his purpose? Clearly to sit in his Zurich penthouse and dream up yet more ways to inconvenience just about everyone involved in football.
Ridiculous idea #437 is football-less winters. Such a strident defender, such a rock, such a gatekeeper of the international game is Mr Bla-bla-blatter that in the face of the G14 clubs he has decided to…er, well, do exactly what they tell him to! International fixtures should all be squeezed into the winter so that poor old David Beckham, Ronaldinho and Cashley Cole don’t have to suffer the humiliation of playing football in the rain (”but think of all the split ends!”).
Come, come, Sepp. You don’t honestly believe we’re gonna give up our winter football, do you? You think we’ll just let you take away the only thing that keeps us going through the dark days of January? Do you really think we’d give you our postponed Cup replays and our bus trips to Inverness that get cancelled halfway up the A9 because sheep have frozen on to the pitch? Do you think we have a problem with the sight of Russell Latapy in gloves? Do you expect us to say au revoir to the joy of seeing the Old Firm dealing with Third Division compost heaps in the Scottish Cup Third Round?
Thankfully, the powers that be in Scotland have delivered a fitting riposte to the Swiss: Tough cheese!
