Jose Mourinho said he wasn't going to talk solemnly about the whole FIFA business. He might make a few cracks. But as for emotional, moralistic pronouncements - he was going to leave that to others.
But the revelation that Ireland received a €5 million payment after the Henry business has really riled him. He can't let it go.
After his comments to the Sunday Times at the weekend, he was back discussing the matter at the launch of BT Sports new European football channel in London today, according to reports in the Sunday World.
Until his moment, I laugh about the corruption at FIFA. Until now, we are just speaking outside the four line. Corruption means the World Cup goes here and there and so on. It's not really my job to talk about this.
But when I hear that a country that should be in the World Cup and that millions of Irish people that should be enjoying its country in the World Cup, but they didn't. Then they close their mouth and their emotions and their hearts because somebody got €5m....I am happy that I am not Trapattoni.
His declaration that Ireland should have been at the 2010 World Cup is welcoming, although perhaps over-egging it a bit given that we were facing into a penalty shoot-out regardless.
He appears to be deeply morally troubled that we closed our mouths and hearts because of €5 million.
