Yeah, he has cheque cashed and off the air when he decides to find his voice
Brazilās favelas should be ashamed of themselves. The lads who did that with maradonaās body got killed.
I would say the opposite having encountered Marty in Croker one day.
I canāt abide him as a commentator or presenter but he seemed to be a really nice guy.

Ah yeah he probably is. I asked him politely for a photo in my youthful innocence at the time and he asked me if I wanted a teddy too in a sarcastic manner like the children whoād just posed for a photo with him before meš On reflection Iām sure heās still a decent sort.

No slight on you but i never got the point in asking someone for a photo that you never met.
Yeah I wouldnāt do it now tbh. Naive at the time. Although I have posed for a photo with a group with Damien Comer since. Couldnāt resist a photo with the Beasht.

Hard to really know but the chances of it happening/happened is probably a lot shorter than many realise.

Argentinaās World Cup win was a fix, which is why France were given two penalties in the final.
This sort of issue is probably too complex for you.
That Saudi Arabia v Argentina match stunk and Messi then being the face of the Saudi bid for the next World Cup.
If they can rig general elections itās not too far fetched to believe they can rig football matches and tournaments.
Do the Saudis bother with elections?
I mean elections have been rigged.
FIFA were involved in a massive rigged election in 2015.
They were also involved in various scandals over the selection of Russia for the 2018 World Cup.
I donāt think the World Cup was rigged. Argentina could have gone out a few times. The chaos of the Dutch game definitely wouldnāt suggest a rigged game to me anyway
The decision to award France two penalties in the final was undoubtedly part of the master plan to fix it for Argentina.
If youāre going to fix something for one team, the master plan dictates that you do the last thing anybody would expect, which is to give two penalties to their opposition, which were both subsequently scored. Itās like when Dougal hid the rabbits from Bishop Brennan by putting them in the last place youād ever expect - Bishop Brennanās room.
Genius when you think about it.

FIFA are as corrupt an organisation as youāll find.
It wouldnāt surprise me in the slightest if there was corruption involved in these major tournaments.
In terms of host selection and where the money goes, yes, 100%.
Not recently in terms of results though
Like all the best conspiracy theories youāve made an assertion which has a grain of truth and then run off in completely the wrong direction.
