Confederated league gathers pace as Belarus bids to join

905

The momentum for a confederated regional league in Eastern Europe continues to gather pace with clubs from Belarus keen to join.  With a population of around 10m, Belarus is sandwiched between Russia, Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic states, but their league has been rendered uncompetitive by the domination of Bate Borisov, who are on their way to eight-in-a-row titles.

Bate, who are now Champions League regulars, have no opportunity to progress while the rest of the league do not have the resources to compete with them.  A regional league would solve all their problems.

Russian and Ukrainian clubs are aiming to have a confederated league in place by the start of 2014, with sponsors thought to be keen to step forward and underwrite whatever is necessary to smooth the way, but the Ukrainian FA suggest 2016 is a more viable date.

Scottish football stands to gain more from regionalisation than anywhere else on the planet. We need to have this debate before blindly stumbling into another Management of Decline while legislators in Minsk leave us behind!

Today is the last guaranteed posting date for CQN Annuals before Christmas, so if you haven’t ordered yet, this is your chance.

Many thanks for the tremendous support of the Annual in recent weeks.  We have shipped lots to Australia, Canada and USA, across various European and Asian countries, and to hundreds of towns and cities across Scotland, England and Ireland.  Even Ayrshire!

Last guaranteed date before Christmas. You can order the CQN Annual here!

    Will Russia, the Ukraine and Belarus still enter national teams in UEFA and FIFA tournaments? Will the relative coefficiency of both clubs and national associations be affected by being part of a regional league, and to what extent? If Bate Borisov are giants in Belarus, how come their stadium has a smaller capacity than Ross County? Will Ross County be invited to the big table, or will they be grouped with the Faroes? Are the Dodgers still playing in Brooklyn?

     

     

    Platini is set to follow Blatter, (the man who ruined the World Cup) with his ill thought schemes and scams, 24 teams in the Euro finals in France in 2016, and God knows how many cities involved in the 2016 finals. Or rather how many cities will bid to host a match?

     

    Go down the Corporate route and you get Corporate solutions to football problems. Still at least we will get to play some Icelandic and Norwegian teams on a regular basis! Maybe even throw in Linfield! Cant wait!

  2. Sometimes I listen to truly lonely sounding stations in places like Texas. They never seem to stay on the air for long, but interesting they are.

     

    I’ll listen to talk shows in places as diverse as Dunedin & Winnipeg.

     

    Police radio in Baltimore ( blame The Wire) .

     

    Rock music in Chile.

     

    Next stop : gonna check out what gets listened to in China.

  3. Just read back and saw Bada’s post on the article in Celtic View regards The Greek ghod…… Bravo Sir Giorgious , speaking of his love for Celtic. Normally I am cynical about these utterances from modern day professionals but the way the bearded one spoke I just know he is sincere.

     

     

    Welcome to the legends club Sammi, arise oh bearded one!

    Where do you listen to it?

     

     

    I was talking to somebody today and before I moved away from Scotland I had not listened to SSB for years, now Im away and the radio here is gash I download superscoreboards for the drive to work here in Qatar.

     

     

    When I run out of one of the many Celtic podcasts like CelticUnderground or the almost daily Hail Hail Media productions I tune into Clyde. Listen to them not for serious discussion but entertainment and a laugh at the non Celtic media madness and their attempts at covering for that daft wee club that died.

  8. Evening Celts, the MSM were always going to talk up the share issue flop, it’s a zombie thing enjoy their pain.

    i never mentioned hooper as im a firm believer he will sign a new contract.

     

     

    but to get a firm picture of what im talking about, i ask you to take a look at the barcelona v celtic match when i believe vic may have cost us a point in the game while waiting to go off the field on a cart (& that look at me expression) when it was totally unnecessary.

     

     

    i could be wrong but…..

  10. Evening all,

     

     

    Regards lawyer Michael on SSB.

     

     

    I take it he’s a pleader – he started by stating that he would prove without doubt that the history of Rangers has transferred to the new club. His justification was then laced judicially with the ol’ lawyer classic of ‘in my opinion’.

     

     

    Now we have just had the classic of Dawyll throwing the toys out the pram when challenged. Sometimes SSB just puts a smile on your face.

    Seems like the Sevco share issue wasn’t as successful as it might have been. Seems like it was a timing issue – too close to Christmas. Didn’t they know when Christmas was this year?

    Could they not applied to Santa for an extension to the festive period to allow all the zombies time to buy some shares? Do zombies celebrate Christmas anyway?

    SSB are fed up with Celtic fans keeping on about the zombies’ history……..well, let me tell them, we are fed up with their lies, fabrication and spin……..the good news is that they are hurtin’ ……..we just need to keep at them to ensure sporting integrity / justice prevails….

    I’m still in The UKplc : Bournemouth.

     

    I listen via the TuneIn Radio App. Stations from all over the world. ssb is hilarious; hw such a programme pretends it’s impartial is the starting point: from thereon in it gets crazier. They might as well call it sevco radio.

     

    HH!
