Forgive the Ultra moment, this was too good to not post. From BBC:

Quote
Plymouth manager Ian Holloway could be disciplined for comments he reportedly made about Fifa president Sepp Blatter.
Holloway allegedly blamed Blatter for the changes to the offside law and labelled him "an idiot and a lunatic" after the 1-1 draw with Southampton.

Argyle had a late goal ruled out for offside in the New Year's Day game at Home Park.

A Football Association spokesman said: "We have written to Ian Holloway for his explanation as to these comments."

Holloway reportedly said: "Sepp Blatter: you are an idiot. Put the rules back to what they should be. He is a complete lunatic."

Blatter is not personally responsible for the changes to the offside rules - they are determined by the International FA Board, which is made up of representatives from Fifa and the four home nations.



You fucking tell them Ian, about time someone did!

exactly. He's only saying what we're all thinking. Why does Blatter keep trying to change the rules? Last year he kept harping on about making the goals bigger

to be fair though Blatter wasn't the one who changed the rules. FIFA just put clear day-light through them..

out of curiosity what change did he make to the offside rule>? to be fair its a pretty basic rule, what can be changed? saying that sepp can make the simplest of things into the grand final of the chess campionships in a matter of seconds.

I think 'olly is referring to the whole interferring with play, active/inactive nonsense, where a bloke can stand in front of the 'keeper but not be offside unless he actually touches the ball!!

Why do they need an 'explanation' for those comments? They look crystal clear to me :shock:

And WTF shouldn't he slag off Blatter if wants to anyway? Fucking Fascists.
