There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Fifa vice-president Jack Warner resigns. So because he has resigned as Fifa vice-president, Jack Warner no longer has to answer to the allegation that he has taken bribes. Great. Well done for eradicating corruption from you organisation FIFA.

Fifa vice-president Jack Warner has resigned, world football's governing body has confirmed.

"As a consequence of Mr Warner's resignation, all ethics committee procedures against him have been closed and the presumption of innocence is maintained," said a Fifa statement.

Warner was suspended pending an investigation into bribery allegations.

He and fellow Fifa member Mohamed Bin Hammam are alleged to have paid bribes of £600,000 to Caribbean associations.

I remain convinced that we should just walk away from this shower of shite.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I'm not unsympathetic to this idea - this place is clearly corrupt. But do you mean we walk away from the World Cup? And the Euro nations? So, withdraw completely from competitive international football?

Or just cease to attend meetings and say - whatever you do, we have hands washed?

Sorry - you may have explained earlier and I've missed it.

Fair f*cks Sepp, you're always up for a challenge, even from a post on a Wanderers forum.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

To be honest Bill, I don't know !!

I appreciate there may be far reaching consequences if we just resigned our membership. Possibly beyond not being in World Cups. It may affect our club football & our clubs ability to register players, or our access to Champion's League etc. (OK, a big fat "so what ?" in my view but not in the eyes of a good few others).

So just walking out, or setting up an alternative version or whatever may have ramifications I don't understand. But, deep down, that'd be my preference.

Certainly watching these fckwits balls up the World game by corruption and believing they are above all law & morality shouldn't be a continuing option.
