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!

I’ve had technical difficulties receiving emails to my phone, and I rarely access them on the laptop, hence my lack of response.
Hopefully it should be sorted now.

‘Ernie
And Crimbo?’
As far as I know that was first coined by Sinbad on Brookside.
Or, to give it it’s correct name, Brookie.
twrt.
It’s a good job I wasn’t too controversial,going by the amount of posts sticking up for HT.

So they tried to raise £10M from the worldwide army of zombies and came up with £5M. And that’s a success, is it?
A hell of a lot of the 500,000,000 worldwide must have decided not to bother.
Maybe the ones who had shares in oldco didn’t invest because they thought the shares they had still applied – being as it is “Rangers forever”……
Ernie,
Srictly speaking, X is the initial letter of the Greek word for Christ. As you say, the use of Xmas isn’t necessarily anti-Christian or PC, but it depends on the user.
I’m with Fanadpatriot on this one.
Breaking news on zombie media
Riot police smashing skulls in the union bears section of ibrokes tonight…
Is this another world record
And dont the fuzz know you cant stop zombies with batons
Ernie
I rest my case,have a great Christmas,Xmas but not Crimbo.

It would be ideal if I could talk The Boy Jinky into getting in touch with Vmhan and his Son and talking them into travelling into the holy city for a wee swally before the game.probably get a lift into the game with one of the buses.wishful thinking me thinks.
HT

So the programme that I have refused to be in the same room with, because I have a weak stomach, is really called the Christ Factor.

Did you like the subtle way I got you to answer the post.by the way,I was talking about Blantyre when I mentioned the Holy City,but Glasgow would suit me better.
Scottish Health Minister says that the number of Health Service staff claiming to be bullied at work, currently 20%, will be reduced to zero percent, or there’ll be hell to pay…

Can anyone confirm that when Sevco were playing Annan Athletic away, a bus load of zombies turned up on Arran?
===========================
They tried to hide their geographical ignorance by claiming that they were boycotting Annan.
Don’t think Ernie’s right about Xmas. Now, Crimbo, that’s definitely a Brookside/Scouser neologism.
Canamalar
Straight from the horses head.. O mean mouth ;)
Posted on rm at 9:45… Bears getting lifted and baton charged … Plenty witnesses posting about poor zombies trying to walk out (away) in protest at the violence. But fuzzy bears locked them in
Imho… Getting locked into mordor and made to watch the sevco is worse than orkney st
There’s a thread been posted on rm about the police wading in.
Can’t get access to it.
Prob be in the msm tomorrow.
Then again.
Old sneaky tim

Ernie,
Sorry, but you’re wrong. The Greek word for Christmas begins with the letter X, pronounced Xi, and was abbreviated for Christ. Xmas is a commercial invention in both Greek and English.
Hail! Hail!
jinky :oD))))
probably two arrests blown out of proportion but I hope not
night bhoys..
