  1. End of the line for Platini at UEFA in my book. This was really the time to nail Blatter and whilst I don't expect Blatter to see out 2015, if he couldn't get him now I don't have any confidence in a UEFA-led Platini with a motion of no confidence. To be justifiable with that I think it has to be UEFA with a new leader.

    They also need to be far more savvy in their opposition and not allow this farcical Ginola/Figo circus. All this then does seem a witch hunt for Blatter. That may be what it is, but it doesn't present or portray well.

    With any sense before they table their vote they will find a high profile and extremely presentable Latin American or African from another sporting federation (or possibly even ex pro) to challenge Blatter and immediately back him to the hilt.

    Now is also the time to exert the pressure of having such football treasures like the Champions League (ahem Europa League : /) and European Championships as your assets; the Premier League, FA Cup. You find those federations where we are not winning votes and you find your way in. The example is immediate because of proximity, but say Malaysia voted in favour of Blatter. You find your connections who can exert serious political pressure in Malaysia - ring ring, Cardiff City how can I help? Vincent Tan please - and you get them supporting your cause on the ground.

    Blatter can do this because he is extremely savvy and a political master. UEFA need someone to outwit him and that clearly ain't Platinj.

    What do you expect Platini (or for that matter his replacement) to actually do?

  2. I thought Gillingham looked much better than in previous matches. One of those days I spose. Earned a point and I guess it reminded the lads that it's not on a plate for them. Yet.

     

    I love this team. I love this season.

    Yep Gills defended well. They didn't do anything else. I believe they decided they couldn't bare to lose 5 times to us in 1 season and played accordingly. The second half in particular was the most one sided affair I've seen all season!
