Why not contribute to this thread instead of starting another as there are already three threads running?

When I came to submit my contribution to the above topic, the Topic had been closed. Is this Piston Heads starting to extend it's censorship, or is their another reason why it has been closed?
No censorship but at around 3:15 ish we had about 10 threads started, we've had a thread running on the subject for some considerable time so we've have had a little tidy up. HTH.

Yes my post got lost mid shut down.
Not want harp on here but it is really nothing to do with sport anymore, but news, politics, possible corruption, media, etc, etc. Rather than shut threads in news politics current affairs why not move it out of sport or develop a way to have the thread accessed in both news and sports at the same time.
My take on this is after Treismann saying FIFA is bent, The Times saying it's bent and the BBC panorama saying it's bent, Blatter reminding the voters of the terrible press, just as they go to vote, then to expect those accused o being bent to subject themselves to another 6years of interest of our media, would be to ignore the elephant in the room. I mean Russia and Qatar? 2 areas of the world where the gratuity/kickback/bung as a common currency of business is oft suggested and where the media is controlled one way or another. Am i surprised england didnt get it? No. Are bbc and times to blame? No. Are the partly responsible for us not getting it? Yes. Were they "right" to expose? Yes... Do we help ourselves living in the real world, with this self serving self righteous media where everything is right or wrong, black or White? Probably not. On the other hand, I'm not sure I really wanted it to come, it's dirty. I wouldnt raise billions, FIFA wanted virtually compete tax exemption, the Dutch thought it would cost £150m! I'm sure we would have all world arrive to watch, and not all would go home afterwards but overstay!

To answer your question using your own style of politeness.FFS Why don't you open your eyes and look in the sports forum and you will see a threads on this already, why don't you try looking first before complaining like an old woman about censorship.
And "Who closed the topic - the Moderators?" - Wel, der yeah. Who'd you think, Sepp Blatter?
HTH.
Ps. Please and thank you's are free on PH, you don't get charged for them.
