There have been incidents of crowd disorder at the Benteng Stadium in Tangerang over the last few
years despite the fact that the two tenents, Persita and Persikota, haven't met for a good
while.
When one team plays the other boys come over to lob bricks and vice versa and no one seems able to
stop it despite the police clamping down on girls wearing short skirts to games.

A few months ago, we addressed the troublesome issue of the possible banning of alcohol at the
Qatari 2022 WC. What we didn't address are current legislation that bans the sale of alcohol at
Russian and Brazilian stadiums.In a recent, and something like 5th or 6th rebuke of Brazil's lack
of infrastructure improvements in recent months, FIFA addressed the issue of the banning of alcohol
sales.

For over 20 years, Anne Williams has fought in vain for a new inquest into the death of her son

Williams believes the original inquest into Kevin's death was 'riddled with corruption', and that
'vital evidence' was suppressed: "I want a fresh inquest for Kevin and I want it to run up until

According to reports Tom Adeyemi who plays for Oldham, on loan from Norwich City, was racially

Good morning to you and welcome to 2012. Let me first throw out a business idea for someone.
'Dial-a-breakfast'. Right now I would pay cold, hard cash to someone who would deliver a fried
breakfast to my house. Eggs, bacon, sausage, pudding (black and white) as a base with various
assortments of other stuff as optional extras.
As if you didn't already know that from the title, Jack Warner is, and always has been corrupt.
What makes it funny is that he has recently come out stating that FIFA was selling him rights to
World Cup broadcasts for $1.Ironically, it comes on the heels of the announcement that FIFA will
not fight a judgement against them to release names of those accepting kickbacks (since those
"stealing" had

Sepp Blatter Gave Jack Warner World Cup Rights For 1$
Yep, a buck.
Can they both just go away? It's just laughable that Blatter is going to finally get rid of

There are a number of ways to get called up to a historically prestigious national team, among
them simply owning an Argentinean passport between the years 2008 and 2010. Not on that list is
being a 29 year old defender for a minnow languishing near the bottom of Serie B. Typically,
anyway, if things are being judged on merit.

It was a story that started almost a year and a half ago in a blaze of publicity which involved
a major newspaper, allegations of corruption in another sport, a non-league football club and
suicide. Now, with the half-way point in the following season fast approaching, it seems almost
certain that the final chapter to play out in the life of Croydon Athletic Football Club will end
in the collapse of a club which found itself thrust into the front page of newspapers around the
world and, as the authorities pick over the carcass of this club over the next few weeks and
months, a question well worth asking will be that of how nobody came to recognise the signs that
there was something terribly, horribly wrong at this club earlier than it was.
The last round of matches of the group stages of the 2011-12 Champions League had a couple of
surprises.Firstly, Manchester United was elminated for the first time in the group stages of the
tournament since the 2005-06 season. More surprising than this fact is nevertheless that it
happened against the underestimated FC Basel in the last match of the tournament, where the English
side needed only
How is it that the global game, the people's game followed by billions is ruled by a fraction of
a fraction of an elite that plays by its own rules? The plutocracy have no need to be beholden.
They enjoy no term limits, need no financial disclosures, and bilk billions of tax free dollars
without qualm.
By J Hutcherson - WASHINGTON, DC (Dec 1, 2011) US Soccer Players -- On Wednesday, FIFA took its
latest step on toward a new future that is supposed to stop the barrage of questions over
corruption, ethics, and accountability. I'm willing to bet that for most of you this story has
already fallen well down your personal watch list, and that's part of the problem.
Former Brazilian striker Ronaldo has accepted an offer to lead the Brazilian 2014 world cup
organising committee. Ronaldo who holds the record of having scored the most goals in world cup
finals history, will be confirmed in his new role today.
Ronaldo who recently retired after admitting that the injuries he had sustained over the course
of his career had taken a toll on his fitness is regarded as one of the all time best out and out
strikers in the game.
Morning all. Have you ever wandered across these humble pages and thought 'Y'know what, this is an
alright website and all that but what I'd really like to see is the chance to win some free stuff -
a competition, perhaps'? You have! Well, that's frighteningly convenient as The Boys From White
Hart Lane has joined forces with the wonderfully creative gang at Philosophy Football and guess
what?
Morning. I'll do my best to squeeze out some Europa themed brain dribbles later in the day
(sorry if that sounded facetious- I'm actually quite looking forward to it) but first news from our
old pals at Philosophy Football. You may remember these sartorial whizzes- amongst other
iconic football t-shirts- as the ones behind those rather delightful Danny Blanchflower numbers I
was seen to be pedalling on here a few months back.

In a week when FIFA president Sepp Blatter was embroiled in yet another
scandal: this time about race, we report on four of the many controversies that FIFA's leader has
been involved in.
Former Liverpool Striker Stan Collymore has launched a scathing attack on Sepp Blatter in response
to the FIFA President's cretinous comments about racism in football.
Blatter recently argued that there was 'no racism in football', and suggested that even if there
was, it could be dealt with by players 'shaking hands' at the end of the game.
Blatter should go but he won't... and football is to blame
Of course he should go. He hasn't been fit for purpose for years. Every one of his
pronouncements are akin to the eccentric grandfather who breaks wind loudly at the dinner table and
makes random faux pas. But save your breath, conserve your energy and confine your keystrokes.

Juventus: Old Lady, new lease of life is a post from: Just Football
by Gianfilippo Scarpati
The 8th of September 2011 marks an historic date for the old lady of Italian football. The
opening of a new state of the art stadium is every bit reflective of the new lease of life she has
had breathed into her.
FIFA's case against some 15 Caribbean countries began yesterday in the whole bin Hammam/Warner
bribery for votes. Caribbean Football Union VP Klass has already been banned for 26mo and slapped
on the wrist and been told he was naughty. And by naughty, I mean fined $5000, but when you receive
nearly $40,000 in bribes that you never account for, what is $5000?
Now, forgive me if I'm wrong here, but I'm happy to see Chucky Blazer retiring at the end of this
year from CONCACAF (and FIFA in 2013 after the WC).Some of you may wonder why though. See, Chucky,
can I call him Chucky, good. Well, Chucky, he's still a little tainted from that whole bribery
before the bribery in CONCACAF that led to the "resignation" of Jack Warner and firing of Mohammad

Manchester City's Carlos Tevez is persona non grata in the Premier League at the moment after he
allegedly refused to come on as a substitute during a recent Champions League match.
Hypothetically, if Tevez was made available to Liverpool, would you take him? In a game
characterised by greed, corruption and naked self-interest, it's amusing to see players and
managers hypocritically foaming at
