What a gigantic bunch of cunts.
In a nutshell. I hope FIFA can step in, but I doubt they will. |

Correct Batch. FIFA will not do anything as Blatter has an election to fight this year, and he needs the African votes. He'll keep quiet and hope it all goes away. |

Kicking Sepp Blatters nut in is in my top 3 wishes, therefore I sort of hope he does nothing to further justify this hatred.

African football is a joke, the CAF in particular. How the fuck did they allow the Togo team to get in a position where this could happen in the first place? You could argue the Togo team were stupid for travelling the way they did or that the tournament organisers should have had a better handle on travelling arrangements but ultimately the buck stops with the CAF.
What they've done now, as others have said, is beyond belief. Two of their party died for fucks sake.
I have a feeling FIFA will sort it out, as they were "unavailable for comment" which suggests they might sort something out behind the scenes. Whilst Blatter is a cunt, I'd imagine Blatter he is having kittens over it at the moment.
Not going to happen, but I reckon UEFA should step in and offer Togo a place in qualifying for the 2012 European Championship. Nothing in the rules against it as far as I'm aware as you're allowed to switch federations if you want, like Australia. Would be worth it if only to piss off CAF and get them to put their house in order.

At the time they were denied readmittance to this year's tournament, there was something on the World Service Football Show about it. Can't remember the ins and outs now but they were basically saying that there was no logistical reason to not let them back in, but there were huge internal politics in CAF in play and that was the main reason. I'd guess that's the same thing at work here. But yeah, disgraceful

I think we should give them a place at Wimbledon...
But yes, dreadful decision.

How about we swap the Togo national team and MK 'Dons'? Togo can have a place in League One whilst Franchise can go off to Africa and be banned from competing in competitions. |

Cracking idea and Wankleman can carry a banner before each game with "I hate darkies" on it. |

Only on condition that they're regularly machine gunned on the way to games |

Surely a bye into "judges houses" on the x-factor is the least we could do.
