Sepp Blatter is at it again

"When it comes to the World Cup final it is passion, and when it goes to extra time it is a drama. But when it comes to penalty kicks it is a tragedy." - Sepp Blatter.

Sepp Blatter wants to get rid of penalty kicks in the world cup and replace it with the golden goal. Will he never leave football alone? Must he always stick his grubby little fingers into every aspect of the game trying to fix something that isn't broken?

Sepp Blatter, penalties might be a tragedy to you because your old frickin heart can't take it. But the rest of us love it. It's downright dramatic, it absolutely scares the shits out of the fans, it's the most heartbreaking way to lose but it is part of the game. The sooner you wake up and realise this, the sooner you can start paying attention to the real crimes in the sport right now: simulation and bungs. As for penalties, they have been an integral part of the world game since its inception in Euro 76 and you, one senile man, cannot take that away from us. Penalty shootouts have given us so much world cup folklore. It makes heroes out of men. It separates the mentally resilient from the physically able.

Do you wanna know what tragedy is, Mr President Blatter? Tragedy is your lousy golden goal rule which you dug up from under a pile of rotting carcasses and tried to shove into our mouths six years ago. You're just an unhappy old fart with nothing better to do in his time than uglify the beautiful game. Abdicate your throne you good for nothing twat!
