Sifting through the ruins of Triesmangate
Ah, the Daily Wail, England’s daily register of phobias and general paranoia and the paper which once cheered Hitler, what a mess you’ve made.
In search of a bog-standard sex scandal, the Mail thrust a preTriesmantty penny (£100,000) into the hands of a woman with a history of mental health treatment, who, according to the Daily Mirror’s Sue Carroll, “makes a King’s Cross slapper look like Mother Teresa…in the court of public opinion she’s somewhere below Medusa and just slightly above Lucretia Borgia.”
Hear, hear. Melissa Jacobs is the worst type of satta king chart female, of human being in fact -one who places short-term selfish financial profit above the trust of a friend and the hopes and dreams of millions who wanted the World Cup in England, where it has not ventured since 1966. Given the globalisation of the sport that country invented, it could be decades before the tournament comes around again. Secretly recording a friend who confides in you in order to make money and ruin their career is a despicable form of personal betrayal. But Jacobs’ damage to England’s World Cup hosting hopes is truly unforgivable.
Triesman was a twerp for flirting with a younger woman but so what? Does that mean England cannot host the World Cup? How conceivably can this act of entrapment be justified as being in the public interest – it merely hands our bidding rivals a huge fillip and wastes the millions of hours worked and pounds spent on handing our nation football’s crown jewel.
If England is denied the hosting rights because of one selfish loser no-one has ever heard of and never will again, may every serpent in hell feast upon the harridan’s evil soul for all eternity. And may all who are connected with the Daily Mail vow never to touch its filthy pages again, seek the forgiveness of Jesus forever or throw themselves off Beachy Head forthwith. This was an act of treason by both slapper and tabloid, sacrilege even – football is our national faith for goodness sake.
But leaving the morality aside (this is a British tabloid after all), FIFA has been put on the back foot by Triesman’s stated belief that Spain will be influencing referees with Russian money at the World Cup. As quickly as the FA rushed to issue apologies, the associations they had offended hurried to poo-poo Triesman’s ‘absurd’ claims…but no smoke without fire. The suggestion sounded perfectly plausible given the history of influencing match officials from Mussolini in 1934 through Guruceta Muro, the Spanish ref bribed by Anderlecht in 1984 to Italy’s Calciopoli affair of 2006 and the two German refereeing scandals in recent years. England has traditionally been the least believing nation when it comes to accusations of bought officials, but all that might have to change now. The Italian furor over Byron Moreno, the bonkers Ecuadorian official in charge when they lost to South Korea in 2002, does not seem so extreme after all.
