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 hope they were playing the following songs
King of Pain
Driven to Tears
Every Breath you Take
Can’t Stand Losing You
Is it really important whether someone refers to it as Christmas or Xmas? I can understand religious people wanting to continue with the full name as the religious aspect is the most important to them but to many secular folk it’s more a midwinter holiday without the religious connotations. All users know what they mean so why get upset at others using another word, surely at this time of year when we are all celebrating yuletide a bit more tolerance would make things easier.
I thought the Greek word for God was Samaras? :-)

I have never responded to any of your comments before,but a simple question,no lies now,have you sent your wife/ relatives/friends a Christmas card.
Ed..,
poke it pagan
The boy Jinky.
I think the first time I went to Cambuslang was with Pablophangue,we went to see if you were coming out to play,but you were invisible that day, we didn’t get you in.
Mind you I’ve been there a few times since.
So! Was there trouble with the Zombies in the Soo Side Morgue tonight or did they just get beat?

Personally around this time of year, I like to celebrate Yule and some years Saturnalia.

No your enemy and when they’re down make sure they stay down.
Most of thems still haven’t grasped that we will pop into their sites to read how they digress what the msm feed them.
Then reading our sites it enables us to
destroy their ill informed pash.
Fanadpatriot :- Nah, I send them yuletide cards :-) More seriously some of the cards I send will have Christmas, some will have Yuletide and some seasons greetings. As I’m not religious it makes no difference to me personally, as I said I understand why religious folk want the name Christmas to be used but frm my point of view don’t see any point in being dogmatic about it.
Canamalar :- Atheist not pagan :-)

Edward ursus
You say the cards you send makes no difference to you,what about family/friends feelings,does that not matter?
My initial point was I thought Crimbo was inappropriate ,I stand by that.

‘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.’
Well according to the Shorter Oxford dictionary it’s been in use since 1551.
ernie…,

I just went back for a read and saw this,sorry for not replying to it before now.

Don’t call HT Thick.
That was the kindest word I could think of at the time.
Off topic – Anyone know if the “free tickets” to season book holders are still available for Ross County this Saturday?
The Boy Jinky I think one thing we can be sure of is that there is nothing in the bible to suggest 25th Dec as the birthday. I don’t know how accurate it is but I recall reading an article that said going by the bible the birth was probably in the spring.
Fanadpatriot :- None of my family are religious so it doesn’t bother them what the card has on it but the sentiment behind it that matters. Btw I when I replied I hadn’t read the crimbo part, I was commenting on Christmas v Xmas. My youngest daughter (24) uses “crimbo” but she is the only one I know that does that.
Didn’t Charles Green buy the history of Christmas?
petec will tell us
Arran could the mythical island of Avalon.
‘X’ was one the early Christian symbols for Christ, from the Greek “Xi” in his name, Χριστῷ, Christo, with the ch pronounced as in the Scottish word loch.
Much of early Christianity was recorded in Greek, because St Paul, one of the leading lights on account that he could read and write, liked to let people know that he could do so in Greek, the language of the educated in Roman times.
All this Xmas is pagan is latter day rubbish and stems ultimately from the Great Schism.
Merry Yuletide.
I assume it was the wee hun section behind the goal that was stormed by the riot polis for singing the usual bile, or were they boxing with the Annan ultras?
Either way, the huns shouldve known that Glasgow plod dont go near them when there’s 20 odd thousand singing poison, as in the Hampden final.
Maybe the Polis turned on them for the poor share issue effort?
Call yerself loyal…CHARGE.

25/12/2012 is the 2012th birthday of jesus christ … In my church.
