Is there a more incompetent organisation than FIFA?  Or is it a pleasant change to play a world cup mid season when the players' fitness should be at its peak.  Discuss.

I should clarify that this is just the FIFA general secretary shooting his mouth off to a french newspaper and not official yet.

UEFA should organise a boycott of the World Cup.

Complete farce holding it in Qatar.

Think we're planning on boycotting it anyway.

Think there the vast majority of the players at the World Cup play in the Northern Hemisphere.

A total farce. During the whole bid process not one person asked about the conditions there in the summer? Maybe the brown envelopes make it difficult to talk?

One thing is fairly certain though. Thomas Hitzlsperger is unlikely to be doing any TV work during that world cup. Or the one in Russia.

Is anyone really naïve enough to think nobody in the whole bidding process gave any thought to it being hot in Qatar in June?

Its also the only place in Scotland served by a Tory minister, so perhaps its not all that Scottish. 

Geographically speaking though it is in Scotland.

Dunblane has a labour mp, not tory.
And sadly I'm not Andy Murray.
