Suspended FIFA President Sepp Blatter and Europe’s big shot Michel Platini were both banned for eight years on Monday by FIFA Ethics committee. As a ritual, Twitter saw some reactions that were mostly in favor of the decision. Some thought it was about time and some were just angry because of the late decision. Here’s how it all panned out:

All that said though, Blatter and Platini will be back in football before Wenger wins another Premier League title

Blatter and Platini banned for eight years by FIFA "Ethics" Committee. Seems too little and far too late. Hopefully a new dawn for football.

Platini has been fined £53,000. That means he's £1.3 million up on the deal, no? Mmm… #FIFA

Good to see Blatter and Platini banned from football by #FIFA. Going to take a long time to build trust again though.

Blatter & Platini banned just days after Pusha T makes a song about hiding drug money called #FIFA? Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
