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!

Miki,
Maybe we agree about Obama: the fact is that the Democrats still suppport him, whereas UKIP – whom I don’t suppport – dropped the other guy.

The institutional investors will not have owned the shares before today. It’s more likely that they’ve agreed a reduced price for them, in order to generate profit from selling them into the market from tomorrow. I’ll be watching their price, share movement and regulatory news releases closely over the coming days.

Chuck apparently said ‘…if Bozzer Toffee, Alvin A Laff, T Strainer and Joe King, among others, had actually delivered on their pledges then we could’ve bought Messi, as it stands we can’t buy sh1te from a farm…however we’ve still made a world record float for a team in the fourth tier with a manager who couldn’t finish a two-piece jigsaw, so I’m happy’
Plaudits from Mark Saggers Review of 2012 on talkSport:
Covered; Olympics, Ryder Cup, Tour de France, Andy Murray, Cricket, Rugby etc.
Said: special mention has to go to Celtic for a fabulous night and atmosphere when Celtic beat Barcelona 2-1 (+ Ray H was giving us big licks).
Nice to hear journalists outside Scotland acknowledging a major achievement by Celtic F.C.

You would never need to fight your way to the bar… Thats my job

The X in Xmas is the Greek word for Christ.
The form of the word has been used for centuries.
Nothing anti Christian, or modern, or political correctness gone mad about it.
