Administration would now bring double pain.An automatic 12 point deduction followed by 15 points the following season.

Or in reality - complete dissolution the following year, if the points deduction meant another drop to non-league.

I'm sure the judge is presiding over more than one case at a time and will need time to read everything etc etc
They do usually only take one case at a time.
But at several hundred squid an hour I'm sure she, like all our learned friends, will take the maximum humanly possible time to do anything.

It may go ahead ,but who would want to watch it and more importantly who would want to sponsor it..?
And there's the nub.
A World Cup without England, Germany, Italy, Holland, Sweden, US, Australia, Japan etc is a World Cup no one wants to sponsor and a tarnished one that will not pull in maximum broadcast rights revenue.
Fifa runs on money. Just the threat should be enough.

Just sit tight and watch my friend.
Don't get me wrong, H. If the tier 1 sponsors threaten to pull out, and Uefa make good their boycott threat, Blatter will go.
Don't expect to see him being extradited to a US prison is what I was saying. He has too many friends in Switzerland.

How dare you try and take our vote away.
Sorry OTIK, but you probably are 1/12th of the islands' footie fans.

Politically this is absolutely huge.
All I'm saying is the FBI have investigated enough that they could pick up the phone to Switzerland and say 'err, excuse me, you know that global organisation that regulates the whole of world football and puts on the biggest sporting event in the world every four years, well we want to come in to Switzerland and in the early hours of the morning very publically carry out a raid against 14 individuals. Oh and whilst we are on the phone can we rely upon your full cooperation?'.
To get the swiss on side, to persuade the swiss allow you in to their country to go after FIFA - headquartered in Switzerland, and with full cooperation, the evidence must be compelling. If the evidence is that compelling why not head honcho implicated enough or why carry out the raids now before the head honcho is implicated enough.
The fact that they haven't got Blatter at this point I don't see as vindication he is not involved at all - if there is anything to be involved in I hasten to add - but I honestly don't think we can presume its safe and shut and only a matter of time before his doorbell goes.
No chance Switzerland will give up one of its favoured sons. It's a corrupt country, grown rich on corruption and ruled by.a corrupt Cabal.
Don't forget Blatter spreads his largesse in Switzerland, giving mega-bucks Fifa merchandising and marketing contracts to Swiss firms.
Ultimately, if he goes, you still could get a "new Blatter". Havelange was as corrupt as Blatter.
Until the governance system is shaken up so England - for instance - has more say than the Cayman Islands (how many players there?) this will be a repeating story.
Small corrupt countries' FA's outvoting the rest.

A shared stadium - as if !!
We (or rather SL) pays for a decent ground, and they move in, I suppose that is what he is suggesting.
As ever, the 15ers looking for something with nothing in return.
It'll never ever happen.

Woman takes her Alsation to the vets.
She tells the vet, "Can you do something please. Yesterday, I was bending over to do the hoovering in my nightie, and he jumped up on my back and tried to have his way with me."
The embarrassed vet said, "Well, we can neuter him, but I'm afraid that doesn't take away the sexual urge."
The woman says, "You don't understand. I want you to clip his claws."

*8-2
Yes Tom, that's why I think I must have interrupted the dream just before the game finished.
I thought it was such a ridiculous dream I didn't even mention it to my companions until we went 4 up.
-
Call me all manner of bullshitters if you like, but I had a power nap a few hours before setting off for the game and had a dream where it was 2-2 at half-time in quite an even match but we went on to demolish them 7-2.
Ludicrous! I thought on waking, but I now realise I'd woken up before the final whistle!
I think I'll start laying bets if I have any more sport dreams!

Are you ready to rumble?...
Careful, that's a trademarked phrase!

One off t'internet:
While walking down the street one day a Member of Parliament is tragically hit by a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
Welcome to Heaven,' says St. Peter.'Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you.'
'No problem, just let me in,' says the man.
'Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.'
'Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in Heaven,' says the MP.
'I'm sorry, but we have our rules.'And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he went down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he found himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and dressed in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They played a friendly game of golf and then dined on lobster, caviar and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly & nice guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it's time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and wave whilst the elevator rises....
The elevator rises and the door opens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
'Now it's time to visit Heaven.'
So, 24 hours pass with the MP joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
'Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in Heaven. Now choose your eternity.'
The MP reflects for a minute, then he answers: 'Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell.'
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down and so on down to hell.
When the doors open he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. ' I don't understand,' stammers the MP.
'Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened? '
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, ' Yesterday we were campaigning..
Today you voted.

We are powderpuff upfront, its another poor performance, we are stuttering, we are conceding the title to Preston. Jesus Christ.

Where ?
I think they play Rochdale next weekend. Dale will be acutely aware they are only just in the play-offs and Barnsley are snapping at their heels.

Well done. You were the better side by a country mile and quite rightly won't have the opportunity to defend the cup next year, giving us proper lower league sides a chance!
Probably be the biggest crowd I'll ever see my team play in front of. Thank you.
I'll be down your place for the final game, for what will probably be another parade!
Congratulations and see you in May.
Cheers. Chatted to some of yours on the way in. Nice guys. And for a club with a smaller fanbase, a very reasonable turnout.

and don't tell me she shrunk it and you haven't put on any weight????
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I hope you haven't committed any Cardinal sins today RR?????
I left the cardinal gear on the office, Es. Instead I had my "These colours don't run" T-shirt. Unfortunately, Mrs Robbo had put it in too high a temperature in the wash and it's now pale pink.

Can't remember Walsall having one chance inside the area, only long range stuff, they worked hard but never really threatened.
Exactly right. Who worries about 30-yard smashes. Their only on target once in a blue moon, and the keeper can see those coming.
I think Frank had to make one good save, but we were closer to another goal with our double chance up the other end.

You've got Papa John's in England now????
