Stereomaniac

It's always seemed to be the most easy to watch of the American sports. It's kind of the 3rd/4th most popular over there, after football and basketball though, am I right? I have cousins in Ontario who play it like the way we all play hurling when we're young (in theory).

Will be missed.

Loved this at the time:

Shocked. Was Bill in bad health? RIP

beakerjoe

Just says Sudden death. Im stunned. Bill was a true gent and a joy to watch/listen to. He was already missed on RTE.

RIP Bill

The reason Okie Doke is something I commonly say

Bill left a mark not many in his role can. RIP

Shocked by the sudden death. Even though I didn't really watch the sports he presented, I always enjoyed his warm presence whenever he was on.

Stereomaniac

I drifted away from football in my teens, but always was amazed at his way with the 3 men.

aka Football potentially having a great day! and only 2 days before the fifa presidency election too.

Sounds like some mafia type story when you read some of the details. The FBI, a Rico enditement, wire taps, briefcases full of money....

Indeed, today's news coupled with Blatter hopefully being overthrown on Friday, football will have a great day..

It's like something out of The Sopranos/The Wire - Except it's on a way larger scale.

For want of a better term I am a massive mark for those shows and yep can't help but think there is an awesome show (movie more likely) in this story being told.

just a quick look at the BBC page on it and you see the following:

Total of 47 charges dating back 24 years.....Defendants have surrendered $150m in illegal profits.....US banks and wiring used in bribery.....Corruption did, it has been stated during the news conference, 'extend to Fifa presidential campaigns'.....

and from one twitter account @sallyjenx

Those indicted in #FIFA crookery face 20 year terms for RICO conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering.

#FIFA indictment shows false names on accounts, billions of dollars in money wires

South africa govmt involved in $10 million bribe to buy world cup votes, FIFA indictment alleges.

Oooh! #FIFa indictment has briefcase full of cash in $10,000 bundles.

that's mad ted!

and there will be more, thats for sure, 25 years of dirt being brought to light here.

Today is just the tip of the iceberg, god only knows what'll surface in the days, weeks, months to come.

ShagNastii

Love to see it blow up in Blatters face.

Without a doubt FIFA is corrupt as f*ck.

Lithium93_

The game is definitely up for Blatter, no doubt 1 of the 9 arrested will tell all eventually.

Diabhal Beag

****in McNulty sticking his nose where it don't belong

Blatter is Clay Davis, untouchable as all goes down around him. :P

With any luck the farcical idea of having the World Cup held in winter in Qatar will be dropped.

Where is good for buying shirts lads? The only shirts I can see in a lot of shops are bright colours, short sleeves with checkered designs that look like your grandparent's table cloth from a caravan holiday home.

Looking for a casual shirt, dark colour like dark green, blue, navy etc. with sleeves.
