Anyone who knows me, also knows that I like my football and cricket and pretty much any sport. So football and cricket will probably be regular themes of my posts.
Anyway, this week Lord Triesman (head of the England 2018 football world cup bid) went to dinner with a friend who he used to work with, and said something stupid about the Spanish and Russian bribing referees. This so called friend taped the whole conversation and sold in to the Mail on Sunday.
Now if he had said this in public, he would deserve to be sacked. And actually as it has come out that he said it he has been put into an untenable position and resigned. What I cannot get my head round is why this "friend" taped and sold the story and what motivation the Mail on Sunday would have in publishing it. Although they probably got a slightly higher circulation last Sunday, they are now at risk of England fans boycotting the paper. There is no national interest in this story and all it does is damage the bid.
Anyway I'm adding my voice to the Mail on Sunday boycott call (not that I would buy that pile of c..p anyway).
