"It is not premitted to handle the ball... (laughter)".
The guy is a disgrace.
What was the context for this statement. Please elaborate!
Is the laughter coming from him, whoever he's with or those in attendance at the press-conference? Like Dodge says, please elaborate.
Launching the official matchball before the world cup draw. He[Blatter] goes to pick the ball up off a pedastal, but stops and starts chuckling, but it is not permitted to handle the ball in football, so how do I pick it up?[laughter from Blatter] [uncomfortable laughter from audience]. Its been on SSN this evening. Pr1ck
I didn't even watch the draw myself joe. That's terrible behaviour to be continuously mocking us like that.
Had a look around and couldn't find a video. Hopefully somebody finds it and puts it up on Youtube. My contempt for this man is growing and growing, thank god we haven't had to deal with him too often in the past, but no doubt we've been the ill gotten recipients of his back handed approach to the game indirectly many times in the past.
Dickie Dunne had some good comments today about Blatter and his award. Summises is quiet well. Might try dig up a link.

I saw it on fsc here in the states. i really wanna punch him square in the face repeatedly.
The biggest disappointment I think is that people are only realising now what an utter cuconut he is. This is typical Blatter, standard back when he was Heavy Lunge's chief expediter.
Of course, keeping on about an incident that should have been forgotten about by the time of the draw is not something exclusive to him, though he is using a pretty huge stage to do so. I hope Theron gave him a good knee in the nuts, but only after having taked him up to a viagra assisted erection first, on behalf of pretty much every football fan in the world.
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

Blatter is a dour little dullard but even he gets the chance to mock us. Should go **** himself.
You've got no fans.
i thought it was funny to be fair i think we asked for a lot of this for the amount of hysteria this caused..and this consolation thing there on about should be just droped
Rubbish. Total Gash except for final bit
Blatter is up for re-election in 2011. It is up to every Ireland fan to make sure this cretin is not re-elected. How can we do that? We keep the spotlight constantly on him. We organise online with like minded fans from other countries (and there are plenty of them who hate Blatter). We put pressure on Irish journos to do their jobs ie start shining the light on this guy. We find out who is runing against him and help them out anyway we can. We make it a news story. It can be done.
If it is a two horse race between himself and Warner, then we can just give up.
They are the puppet and the hand all right. I can't see Warner running against his mate. Lets hope it is someone with at least a percentage of decency. I am going to try find out who will be the likely candidate/s.If it is a two horse race between himself and Warner, then we can just give up.
Here is Sepp in a less jovial mood.

Daily Mail is a rag but Shay has an interesting interview in it today - most of it relates to the game in Paris.

I've sent Andrew Jennings an email asking him to outline what is likely to happen before the next FIFA Presidential election (who will be running against Blatter etc). I will post his reply as soon as I get it.
Check out the Newcastle fans' comments under that article!
Hilarious comments there alright. They love Shearer though despite the fact that he took them down. I don't think I've ever seen a team relegated with so little fight, but hey he's a geordie. Given should have left them a long time before he did.
And you ask me to help you??!! Man is evil!!!! Capable of nothing but destruction!
Don't think those comments would represent a majority view of Geordie fans. At the time he left a lot of fans said they couldn't blame him for leaving given the state of the club. He had many other chances to leave but was loyal to the club for a ridiculously long time. Guaranteed he will get a good reception overall when City play at St. James Park (looks like they will be back in the same division next season).
