When I wake up in 8 or 9 hours time I would love to see that Blatter is no longer at FIFA.
If anyone tells me he is clean, I will no longer trust you ever again
Okay so...
Feyenoord is convicted by the UEFA to play 1 European home game without fans now.
Why?
Racism.
Of all things, racism...
It is because of the Feyenoord - As Roma game a few months ago.
One banana ended up on the pitch, even though there were about 100 in the same stadium section alone.
It was some sort of pyro action. Don't ask me why exactly they took banana's, but it was some tribute to European games in the 70s and 80s(where they apparently did this too, with the bananas). https://pbs.twimg...AAdaTE.jpg
Anyway, one banana ended up on the pitch. A couple of mins later, Totti(yeah yeah legend whatever, in this case a cunt ) saw the banana, and walked to Gervinho, because he thought it would be racist.
Referee suspended the game and that one banana was one big deal.
Even though there were no racist intends or whatever, and the banana wasn't even close to Gervinho at the point of ''throwing''.
The banana shouldn't be associated with racism here in the first place. I mean, maybe that's what happens in Russia/parts ofEastern Europe, but the whole banana stuff is not a thing here at all...
Cisse and Kalou, both ex-Feyenoord players(and both black), even were witness for the UEFA, to explain that this has no racist intends and that this is just overly ridiculous. Even Gervinho seemed to understand.
But anyway we still got the home match fans ban. (UEFA MAFIA )
Now I realise how a group of Feyenoord fans misbehaved during the encounter(s) with As Roma(partly because of reactions on a terrible referee, but well that's obviously not a reason to justify that), and we did got penalized for that, but that is not what this is about.
This one match suspension is purely because of ''racism''. It makes me sick really...
This is not the right punishment and this takes things way too far.
Honestly, I'm furious.
''Good'' thing is that we didn't even qualify for European Football for next season, but the punishment will stand and who knows what kind of match we'd miss...
Plus, being convicted of exactly racism will hurt our reputation even more. Yeah I suppose the UEFA just doesn't like ''us'' or wanted ''revenge'' for what a select group of fans did in Rome itself(which was outside UEFA area) or earlier stuff years and years ago.

No two-thirds majority for Blatter during the first voting round. Seven more votes and he would've been sure.
A normal majority is enough during the second voting round, so it seems like FIFA will have to keep working with the Swiss as the president Edited by Kiserlovski01 on 29-05-2015 18:09
@Jesleyh: The next home game for Feyenoord will be in about 100 years though
But seriously, I do think this punishment is very harsh. I know Feyenoord-fans don't have a very good reputation when it comes to behavior, but I don't believe the banana symbolised racism in this case.
Looking at the picture, I didn't know Chiquita bananas were used at Feyenoord. Will need to find a new sponsor for next season
Yeah I should've known this topic would've been flooded with Blatter stuff right after my comment
Eww Blatter...
@Marco
Yeah I know... I heard the joke about 100 times today, but alright, from you I am willing to accept the joke somewhat
Definitely harsh. I realise we got the reputation against us but that is no justification.
Yeah, Chiquita bananas. That's why I like your MG team you know Edited by Jesleyh on 29-05-2015 19:22
Can't believe Blatter gets another term. It's a disgrace.
Agreed. I only have faith in 73 now...
