I'm not a football fan but it sounds like the FIFA film is as bad as the real thing.

FIFA's director of communications and public affairs Walter De Gregorio has been forced to resign after making a joke about FIFA on Swiss television.

Question: The Fifa president, secretary general and communications director are all travelling in a car. Who's driving?
Answer: The police.

A statement from FIFA said: "Walter De Gregorio has decided to relinquish his office with immediate effect as director of communications & public affairs".

Another FIFA twist today as Blatter was said to be considering staying on as president. The spectre of Blatter clinging on to power was raised by a Swiss newspaper which cited an anonymous source as saying that Blatter had not ruled out remaining in office. The BBC also quoted a source close to Blatter suggesting he could stay on.

So the election is going ot be a non - event - a piss take?

What did i say hes doing a Nigel

right let's quit buying FIFA 16 everybody!! and then put pressure on the FA to get us leaving FIFA, that organisation is having a piss take as well as Blatter
first he wins election then he resigns now rumours suggest he can stay
Who would run a world body sporting like this?

so it looks as though UEFA are going to come up with a strategy to ensure Blatter won't re-run at their meeting

I see that the Nobel Peace Center has followed Interpol in declining to accept any further money from FIFA. They had previously accepted payment for "partnerships" with football, but have now decided to distance themselves from any financial dealings with FIFA.

Hope the UN does the same thing if it has an account with them too...and the IOC....

See Mr Blatter has backed calls for Integrity tests for officials..that's a real pot calling the kettle black..he should tae one before he leaves....
