Every time Sepp opens his gob something idiotic comes out. This is not surprising sadly.
He has got such a tight grip on FIFA it's difficult to see how he can be stopped.
Maybe a group of the top federations need to RESIGN from FIFA
Which WON'T happen of course
He's a FOOL

This has pissed me off so much I've sent FIFA an e mail demanding his HEAD.
I am absolutely disgusted with the comments made by Sepp Blatter, referring to the tackle made by Martin Taylor as an 'attack'. It shows once again Sepp has simply no idea about the game of football, and his comments continue to degrade the game time and again.
The challenge and resulting injury was an ACCIDENT - as all associated with Arsenal and Eduardo himself agree. Such challenges and injuries are never pleasant, however they will happen in the game, and the tackle was clearly in no way malicious - just mistimed.
Taylor must be feeling bad enough already, however the head of world football essentially branding him a criminal is outrageous - It could be argued that the challenge did not even deserve a red card!.
Yes punish malicious play, but Blatter is sadly deluded if he believes that was the case in this instance. Blatter needs to go - he is pretty much a laughing stock amongst real football fans and his comments are continually riddled with stupidity.
Thanks, Dom

Blatter is obviously in minority here (for very good reason), but it's surprising / worrying how many key figures in the international game share his view that football should be a non-contact sport

Sepp Blatter should keep his nose out of things that do not concern him
This is an English matter and should be (and has been) dealt with by the English FA. Nobody is asking Blatter for his ruling or guidance therefore he should keep his long trunk out of it. Football is a contact sport - accidents happen. Look at the tackles that broke Gerry Ryan's leg/Charlie Oatway's ankle - did we go bleating to FIFA about it. Did FIFA even get involved - of course they didn't. It's only because it's bloody Arsenal and they're "one of the big four" that it even got mentioned. The tackle that ended David Busst's career was even worse than that which has sidelined Eduardo but he played for Coventry -a non fashionable team- so nobody was interested. The injury was also caused by players from "one of the big four" so they couldn't possibly be guilty now could they ?
It ain't what you know it's who you know

Eduardo dived!

How could you possibly argue that the challenge didnt deserve a red card?.....it was high....no where near the ball...with a straight leg and studs up!

Blatter is no friend of the English game. Is he Welsh?
Sergei Gotsmanov

I agree totally that Blatter is a complete muppet and knows very little about the game.....however I dont agree that the FA have dealt with this issue...the issue is not the tackle itself...but the underlying issue that caused the injury which is that teams go out with instructions/intent to "rough up" opponents that they are not good enough to compete against....unfortunately for Taylor he is so useless he could even do that properly and Eduardo suffered the consequences.....accidents do happen and Taylor did not intend to break Eduado's leg but he did intend to stick one on him....steps can be taken to minimise the chances of things like this happening....unless the culprits are punished this form of violence wil never be driven from the game.
fair comment, but plenty of similar challenges go by with just a yellow.
Don't agree with that at all, he was going for the ball.
Sergei Gotsmanov
Russian international
If there was no intent at all then Taylor is an even worse player than I thought.....may be he should have to go to tackling school and not be allowed to play until he isnt a danger to other players.

Now that one by Rooney just then in the Pompey game was an attack. Bloody lucky no contact was made.

He was going for the ball as much as I am going to Abbey National Bank which opens on Monday. Eventually I would get there. Taylor had less chance of getting the ball than I do of getting to the bank.
It was a horendouse career threatening tackle for which he should have been given a much longer ban.
If these type of tackles received a lengthy ban then players would not be encourged to make them. Cantona was banned for 9 games (?) for jumping into the crowd using that criteria Taylor should be banned for 6 months.
