Surely this is not good news for Blatter, all happened on his watch. But he will get away with it.
Just curious to know how FIFA can have vice presidents from the Caymen Island, New Guinee, Northern Ireland. All footballing power houses there.

Typical FIFA to ignore it and say the show goes on either way.....
I think no one will take FIFA or the investigation seriously until Blatter is behind bars, and FIFA elect a new president.
The fact Blatter is still favourite to win on Friday is amazing.

Jim Boyce is a prominent Nationalist supporter, was president of Cliftonville ( a strongly catholic and nationalist fan base), and is famous for campaigning for years as IFA President to remove the requirement that all NI players had to carry a passport of the UK when playing games abroad, which was a FIFA requirement...... I can categorically state with 100% certainty that Mr Boyce in no way associates himself as a British Citizen.
Cayman Islands is an offshore tax haven.... ironically, Webb was once in charge of transparency and compliance committees of FIFA....
You cant make that up
As for Cayman, this has been one of my pet peeves...IMHO Britain needs to deal with its overseas territories. This status of not-exactly-colony-not-exactly-independent helps no one except the tax dodgers....
