The internet reacts as Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini given eight-year football ban

It's a great day to be alive football fans.

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives after FIFA announced that President Sepp Blatter and UEFA President Michel Platini have been given lengthy bans. The 79-year-old Blatter and his apparent successor have both been banned from all football-related activities for eight years. The pair were found guilty of breaches of FIFA's code of ethics after being investigated for a supposed 'disloyal payment' of £1.3m between Blatter and Platini in 2011 - something both men deny. https://twitter.com/danroan/status/678857501669007361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw This was Blatter arriving for his press conference which is scheduled for Monday morning... https://twitter.com/martynziegler/status/678864558610624512

But it doesn't sound like Blatter is going to take this lying down...
