There is a God and, lo, He hath just blattered Blatter

Be honest, there's nothing quite like a nice cup of schadenfreude to start your day, particularly when the recipient of the equivalent of a bucket of cold sick over the head is the repellent Herr Sepp Blatter, the man who has reduced the reputation of FIFA to only a fraction above that of the mafia - well, so far at least, because they don't appear to have fed anyone to the fishes - yet!

Here is the ghastly little scrote clasping hands with Michel Platini, the boss of European football and a man who now has a few questions to answer himself concerning the bung payment of £1.3 million for, er, services not yet explained!  I bet they both counted their fingers carefully after that handshake!  Now, if God is reading this - and why wouldn't He? - then He has only one more task to complete in order to ensure my conversion and thus my regular attendance at St. John's church just across the way.  That task is to disqualify both the Qatari and Russian bids for the next two world cups.  At that point my cup will overfloweth with happiness!

Duffers you have two chances of seeing a change of venue. To use an expression dear to us in the Antipodes - "Buckley's and f--k all".

The actual saying is "Buckley's and Nunn [none]" but was of course altered for a bit more colour.

There was a store in Melbourne called Buckley & Nunn, which helped that make more sense.
Regarding the odious Mr Blatter, he's had plenty of time to get rid of the evidence so I'm not sure quite what they'll find, if anything.
Back in Oz there is a Royal Commission into trade unions and comrades have been destroying papers at the rate of 7 tonnes in one example. Still, it doesn't look good for Mr Shorten and his Labo(u)r party right now.
Many of us honest citizens are laughing out loud or at least chortling softly.

The hopeful indicators, Andra, are the two or three executives who have already had their collars felt by the Feds and who will do anything to cut a deal. When you're a rat-fink like Blatter you must expect to be ratted out!
