Blatter's Off The Mark!

Sepp "51 bad ideas out of 50" Blatter has asked for a life ban on Matin Taylor for his tackle on Eduardo.

Knowing Blatter and his tendencies to talk out of his a*se, I'm not surprised to hear this.

For heaven's sake, Martin Taylor's tackle was bad. But since I've been watching football, I've lost count of the number of times I've seen worse tackles. Quique Alvarez' tackle on Robben last week in the Spain was as bad.

He even recommends legal actions.

How do you determine a players intentions? Taylor had only been booked 6 times in his whole career so what motivation could he have had to break Eduardo's leg?

Blatter went on to advocate special treatment for good players.

"The referees should be aware that if there is a very good player, they need to protect him"

Special tratment for certain players?

Please when is the next FIFA election? I need to contest :-)
