When Sepp Blatter raises questions about your ethics you know you’re in trouble.

[FIFA Media @fifamedia]

FIFA President Gianni Infantino:

“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.

“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.

“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.

“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.

“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”

@harlequinspod Club statement needed

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@londontoaster @harlequinspod No need to be offensive

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

What is wrong with people? Does no one know how the Last Post and a minute’s silence works anymore? So embarrassing. #ENGvFIJ

@harlequinspod @RugbyQuins @LaurieDalrymple I have been making the same point to our Quins group - just need that a decent red wine……

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@Jamiehuwroberts @lionsofficial @NHSuk Quins doctors are the best doctors. Best of luck with the new career. COY….NHS?

Hi @LBRuT_Help @LBRUT someone has dumped a Lime bike in the Crane at Kneller gardens. @KnellerGardens

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@twickerati If it’s not more relaxed than the previous place I’m starting a petition….

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@JoeMarler Thank for everything you’ve done for the club and for England. We were lucky enough to be in the 10,000 and will never forget it thanks to you “BELIEVE”. It’s my 10yr olds 1st Friday Night Lights and he’ll be screaming your name. Thanks again and best of luck with whatever’s next

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

Big thanks and respect to fans of @ExeterChiefs. Took the 9yr old across the country for his 1st away game. Not the result @Harlequins wanted but everyone we met was super welcoming and friendly - had a fantastic trip (you know…other than the score).

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@QuinsFOTS We got a pair in the south stand - my son’s first away game. Can’t wait.

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@QuinsFOTS Cheers

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@LaurieDalrymple sadly can’t make going to Toulouse work - is there any chance you’ll be doing screening at the club?

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

I fear something terrible has happened @twickerati. Has there been a great disturbance in the force? Is “the Star Wars shop” no longer with us?

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@jodywillis @philipthomaspt And fans of “where I used to smoke”

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@martinfairchil1 @LaurieDalrymple For what it’s worth, knock out games have never been included in season tickets.

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]

@BathSupporters @harlequinspod That’s more than my seat at Quins on halfway under a roof…..and I thought we were expensive…

[Jamie Wood @JamieWoodMedia]
