FIFA offers Delaney title of Official Gimp to Sepp Blatter

The Mire can reveal that FIFA president Sepp Blatter is to offer FAI supremo John Delaney the honourary title of Official Gimp to Sepp Blatter as moral compensation for Ireland’s World Cup qualifier loss to France.

“The official gimp will have a seat of honour beside Mr Blatter at all FIFA functions,” a FIFA source said. “We may even consider using an image of the gimp as a logo for World Cup 2014 in Brazil.”

“The official gimp will also receive a clothing allowance and a very attractive collar and lead,” he added.

Mr Blatter said he made the offer humbly and in good faith. “He can be my gimp or he can be my bitch,” he said. “I don’t mind. I like gimps. I like bitches. Life is beautiful.”

It is understood FIFA believe this special award will end controversy over FIFA’s handling of the Thierry Henry handball incident which sent Ireland out of the World Cup.
