Sepp "51 bad ideas out of 50" Blatter has asked for a life
ban on Matin Taylor for his tackle on Eduardo.

Knowing Blatter and his tendencies to talk out of his a*se,
I'm not surprised to hear this.

For heaven's sake, Martin Taylor's tackle was bad. But
since I've been watching football, I've lost count of the
number of times I've seen worse tackles.

Quique Alvarez' tackle on Robben last week in the Spanish
Liga was as bad.

Blatter even recommends legal actions.

How do you determine a players intentions? Taylor had
only been booked 6 times in his whole career so what
motivation could he have had to break Eduardo's leg?

Blatter went on to advocate special treatment for good
players.

"The referees should be aware that if there is a very good
player, they need to protect him"

Special tratment for certain players?

Abeg when is the next FIFA election? I need to contest.

though,banning taylor would be somehow cruel.but such comment could be altered by anybody that feels the serousness of the injury and how it could have a bad effect on the football career of the young and promising lad.so.Bro Akin dont criticize blatter for altering such statement.if it was any man united player that was involved,you could say more than that

@ Akinalabi,

Sepp Blatter is a schmuk!!!!!

I think he's got so much time on his hands to spew trumpery at every given opportunity.
Still cannot understand how that Arrow became FIFA President. . . . .
He is so clueless. . . . . .A Nigerian will do better in the same position.

Chacal once arsenal is involved,u talk 4rm ur arse!

Life ban? Not sure about that but the injury was one of a kind. Can't think of any actions against the offender though. It's football, isn't it?

Chacal once arsenal is involved,u talk from your arse!

You are a complete doofus!!!!

Eduardo is not the first player that suffered from this horrific schitzo. . .
Players get chopped down every now and then and Arsenal players are not saints when it comes to playing dirty.
Blatter is a Arrow for even saying Martin Taylor should be banned for life. . . He should keep his honkey nose outta England.

D law had to be made one time or the other,cos tackes were getn worse by d day. And it hapnd to be during dudu's own dat its about to start! U got a prob with dat?
I dnt understand y u guys kp sayn is dudu d first! Is he going to be d last? The ans is def a no,so y not curb this whole shit and lets play good football.
By d way i dnt see y banning a player who ends another players career is bad

[/b]i strongly believe that players whose tackles cause injury to opponents, [b]

[/b]should me ,ade to stay out for the period the injured player takes to heal[b]

That means taylor suspended till eduardo gets back.


Thats my law. it will stop hideous tackles. why should taylor get 3 match ban
and eduardo nine months out.

Nice proposal, nightrider. But while one will physically, psychologically be in pain for the period, the other won't.

I kinda support tougher punishments for such offenders.

The problem in Blatter's proposal is that, how will you determine the intent in the tackle? Perhaps the extent of the victim's injury should be used to determine the punishment the offender will face.

That is the smartest thing that has come out of his lips since he became fifa president

If that is the smartest thing he has said, then it goes a long
way to show the kind of man he is.

That is the problem and I can't understand why that is
beyond Blatter.

Okay. Assuming a player nudges another player on the
shoulder and the latter goes down and sprains his ankle,
the offender should be banned for as long as the injured
player is out?

Here is a classic example.

At Stamford bridge in 2006, Carvalho fouled Wayne Rooney
and it wasn't even seen as cardable offence.

He can claim it was unintentional. We would have believed
him. Rooney was out for weeks and wasn't fit enough for
the world cup.

Are we saying Carvalho should have been suspended for
the period Wayne was out?

The grotesque idea of using the extent of a victim's injury
to determine punishments meted out is not only silly but
unpracticable.

i think that Blatter guy is suffering from some unknown ailment

where was he when Aldo Dusher nearly killed My man, where was he when Anderson was nearly killed while at Porto. . .these things happen everytime in football and for him to come out and spew fuckery as usual , i think he should be impeached

Football is a contact game not snooker. Once in a while you get the boot.
