He might be a count but he has taken bullet proof to a whole new level. When he retires from FIFA he'll be able to make a fortune advising politicians on how to survive scandals intact.
Or by selling his skin to budget frying pan manufacturers. |

I read the other day that West Midlands Police are after a new officer in charge of race relations... perhaps he should apply for that.

It's not just Blatter and FIFA that don't take racism seriously - UEFA have just fined the Bulgarian FA €40,000 for the racist chanting and throwing of fireworks during the England game in September. Doesn't really send a message other than who gives a fuck does it?

One of the players seems to be saying why don't you just move? Very upsetting watching that |

Whilst I agree with everything that has been said on UEFA and blatter, the issue is a society thing. It was only 20 years ago that we had the bananas and the monkey chants.
We just have to wait for some parts of the world to catch up.
And yes UEFA don't help, perhaps a 3 match fan ban would make these places take notice at least within the football community.

He is a right back taking a throw in.The ref obviously had no intention of stopping the game |

Arguably, he did more good by staying where he was. For a start, we're all discussing it.

This problem is endemic in the society of these countries. Until you tackle the problem off the pitch you won't get anywhere with fines etc. on the pitch.

Interesting that everyone focuses on the racial element of the Eboue incident and not the more basic fact that missiles being thrown at any player is unacceptable. If that had happened here the ref would have stopped the game solely for safety reasons, no matter what colour the players skin.
A lot of crazy shit goes on with fans in Europe that simply wouldn't be tolerated here. Flares seem a common and accepted part of the game in other countries, yet the shit hit the fan when just one of our fans took one to a game. Yet if you were to ask UEFA I'm sure they'd still say we're the ones with crowd problems.
