Fucking hell.

Bit of a leap between kids getting cancer and having a bag of crisps every now and then.

You hate Lineker, you

Would you prefer the BBC to have swept the story under the carpet, then?

Id rather have FIFA crumble and a new International Governing order set up that is totally transparent and re-invests its profits in global football (and not have $450m of spare cash sitting in a bank account), than have the world cup in 2018 to be totally honest.

Its up to the BBC to what they do, but would it not seem hypercritical of the BBC after exposing FIFA to be corrupt then go own on line there coffers with license fee payers money

Aye. Unfortunately I think neither will happen.

I know what you're saying.

However, from a viewers point of view ITV's coverage is fucking horrendous.

We should all refuse to pay the licence fee.

Nowt to do with it really is it, if the BBC are going to take the morale high ground and expose FIFA while in the process wrecking our 2018 bit then surely they cant be seen lining FIFA pockets with TV rights money
