Ah Ref!

You couldn't make it up if you tried! In recent days Fianna Fool have been leading the demands for the World Cup playoff with France to be replayed. Now there can be no doubt that the horse-eating, onion-wearing, diving, cheating and dishonest French got away with the sporting crime of the century on Wednesday night. However, for Fianna Fool to come out lecturing about unfairness and respect for the rules of the game is utterly sickening.

What the hell do Fianna Fool take us for? Do the likes of Brian Clown or Doormat Ahern really expect us to believe that they give a damn about our exit from the World Cup. These gobshites have spent 15 years ensuring that the poor pixie Irish will be saddled with the debts of their mates in the property development companies and the banks. They have conspired with the trade unions to donate millions to an under performing and wasteful public service. They have defrauded the tax payer by paying themselves millions more in undeserved salaries and "expenses". What gives them the right to preach about the relatively trivial matter of our exit from the World Cup?

I would love to cheer on the boys in green in South Africa next year. However, it's not a matter of life and death. Our incompetent government, on the other hand, have far more to be worrying about. What about the injustice of bailing out the banks while ordinary men and women are having their homes repossessed without any help from the state? Why not tackle the sickening inequity of a social welfare system where people who want to work and have worked all their lives are treated no differently from the idle wasters who have never and will never contribute to society? Or maybe Fianna Fool would like to invest some time in reforming a criminal justice system which prioritises do-gooder sentiments and looking after the rights of the guilty over protecting the law abiding majority of our citizens.

The petition on the Fianna Fool website mentions "..fair play...dignity and integrity..". It concludes by urging FIFA to

"...prove there is meaning behind these words and show children all over the world that in football those who cheat will not succeed."

How dare Fianna Fool lecture anyone on morality. Who are they to imply that cheating is wrong. And they certainly don't give a damn about our children. They have dedicated their careers to ensuring that our children won't have a future in an economy which has been ruined by years of incompetent and corrupt leadership. Irish politicians have made lucrative careers out of cheating, corruption and dishonesty. The 165 members of the Kildare Street Country Club are such accomplished cheats and liars that they make Sepp Blatter look like the Dalai Lama. For Fianna Fool to jump on the bandwagon and use our unfortunate exit from the World Cup as an excuse to pretend to be on the side of the people is nothing but a cynical and pathetic publicity stunt. It certainly won't prevent them getting a richly deserved red card and five year ban after the next general election!
