wasn´t it Platini who voted in the Gibraltar football team into the UEFA????
UMMMMMM!!! I wonder how much money was handed over??!!

Another story that makes one feel vehement is this story in one of the local
British newspapers....where a serviceman had to be hidden from public view so as not to make ethnic patients feel bad................ouch!!!
what the hell is wrong with Great Britain when one has to hide a serviceman
in his own country and in a public hospital......

No, I think the bribes come from the Spanish to keep themselves in FIFA.

WTF would want the Spanish in a football competition with all the ducking and crying foul simply because they are as useless at football as they are at everything else?
