It's official - Blatter has lost the plot
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has controversially said that all football matches should have a result and that drawn games should be scrapped.
The chief of world football's governing body is no stranger to controversy and is always happy to speak his mind. This time the Swede says that every single game of football across the globe should produce a result - ending the days of drawn games. He has suggested using penalty shout-outs to decide matches that end all-square, but he is open to any other suggestions on how to end matches. "Every game should have a winner," Blatter told German agency SID. "When you play cards or any other game, there's always a winner and a loser. We should have the courage to introduce a final decision in every game of football." Blatter's latest brainstorm would change the face of football forever and his ideas are sure to be met with dubious reaction to say the least.

Can all the bodies not call for a vote or something because he really has lost the plot if he's said that. What was that thing he said about women playing in tight shorts to get higher interest?

Ending a game of football on penalty kicks is like ending a game of basketball on a free-throw contest. Pretty cheap. This is a piss poor idea.
Here in America, many writers have said tha the reason that hockey and "soccer" struggle is because Americans can't get behind the idea of ties. I think thats bullshit, though. |

How did he become president? Seriously. I mean it was bad enough what he said about the women's game but now he wants to get rid of draws. Insane.

The sooner we get rid of him, the sooner we can have the old World Cup system back - World Cup in Europe every 8 years.

He wanted the World Cup every two years
He wants the Premiership reduced to 16 teams He wants Women's football played in skimpy outfits He wants the continents to take it in turns hosting the World Cup He tries to get involved in the Ferdinand thing, when the F.A had already dealt with it He then speaks of the repercussions if United appeal against the Ferdinand ban, yet nothing happened. And now this. What a tit. |

What do you mean, it's "official"?
He lost the plot years ago. |

But didn't he actually need to HAVE the plot at some point to justify losing it?

It's different in cup games because a winner HAS to be decided, but in league games the way I see it is that if you weren't good enough to beat the other team in 90 mins then you don't deserve to win, simple as that.
Of course that's only the start of it. |

And of course the fact that Leicester would have like 15 points if there were no draws.

It's a horrible idea. penalties are a horrible way to settle anything, they might as well flip a coin at the end of the match.

yeah, aswell as coming up with that new offside rule that no one understands he also refuses to let that retarded World Club Championship competition die. He goes on about reducing the premiership down to 16 teams because players already play too many games, perhaps we could just get rid of Micky Mouse competitions like that instead?
Its an aweful idea anyway, I can see it now, a team dominates the game for 89 minutes, the other team gets a goal against the run of play and then wins on penalties. Plus its absolutly gutting losing on penalties. ![]() Its been fine for the past 150 odd years anyway, why change it now? God that guy annoys me. |

And I also read today that before USA '94, Blatter had the genius idea of making it a game of four quarters. He gave the reason that American fans like intervals, and they normally have more then two halves, so they would prefer it to be quarters.

Imagine the days where you got knocked out of the world cup on the flip on a coin (and it actually happened). The riots now would be sooooo awesome.

The guy just annoys me. His day planner must look like this:
Wake up Breakfast Come up with retarded ideas to introduce Threaten to have England expelled from all tournaments for the next 50 years Lunch Come up with more stupid rule changes Hype up how huge England's hooligan problem is and threaten them with expulsion from all major tournaments Dinner Note down some more things that arent broke and dont need fixing...and then come up with ways to fix them! Stress that England WILL be expelled from all major tournaments if any of their fans sneeze or blink during the European championships Bed Dream about changes that can be made and throwing England out of tournaments. |
