Why would the FA charge someone without out a single shred of evidence ? They must have something surely ?

I reckon that whatever the evidence is, I reckon the
FA have decided to keep it way out of the public eye, but then again maybe it's one's man word against another's. (i.e. Sarez's against Ebra's).

Would you ever shake hands if you'd been racially abused at the end of a footie game?

Yeah, after I'd given them a short elbow to the face

the difference between the jt case and saurez case is that there is video evidence of jt saying what ever he said to anton ferdinand where as there is no video evidence in the public domain of saurez saying whatever he said evra.

I think Blatter's a real clown. But at least with him we already know how much of a prat he is. If Platini becomes president god only knows what shit he's gonna pull, could be even worse than Blatter...

Why has John Terry not been charged yet? It's an open and shut case so why the delay??......Because he's England captain.

And Platinui's views on certain subjects are well known and documented I think.
He may have been a great player on the pitch, but off the field, his visions for football aren't shared by many I think in football. And I think FIFA with Platini at the helm, will be further tarnished, resulting eventually in a breakaway organisation, which
I think England should be a part of.
I just hope England one way or another, can force a confidence vote in Blatter to push further his resignation. And one thing Platini must do is to ensure the election process is cleaned up when it comes to choosing a new president and force through a motion to re-stage the
2022 World Cup bid.

I reckon the Met Boys will change teir mind at some point, citing the video evidence is not enough to charge him or the CPS (if it was ever involved) they'll throw the case out too for the same reason. I'm surprised Crapello even let him skipper us against
Sweden, while the investigations are on-going.

I think Platini did some very good things when he took over as UEFA president regarding the Champions League restructuring. The reforms made it easier for actual league champions to qualify for the group stages, and more difficult for 3rd/4th placed teams from big countries. After all, it is called the Champions League, so the Polish/Czech/Cypriot champions have more right to be in it than the 4th-placed teams in England/Spain/Italy. The only reason it was expanded in the first place (during the mid/late 90s) was to satisfy the greedy clubs and even greedier TV channels.
Having said that, Platini undid a lot of that good work by refusing to even contemplate video evidence, when almost every other major sport is now using it. Even so, he is a million times better than that geriatric fool Blatter.
