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!

Jude, I’m only on page five. By the time I get to the end of the thread I’m sure the blame will have shifted from plod to Peter Lawell who was spotted through the ibrox mist on a heavy armoured horse.
Hopefully peter also wore his heavy steelies.

The midget berrz will’ve been up to their eyebrows in fenian gore….that’s why they’re no longer with us.
Anyway….the bhoys from The Green Brigade wiill need to be mindful that Strathclyde’s finest will want to be seen as being even-handed, and after being forced to engage in fisticuffs with their erstwhile brethern they will be on the lookout for any excuse to dole out their very own version of Yuletide gifts, i.e. Christmas in the slammer , at the weekend, bearing in mind everything will be on lockdown due to the midwinter beanfest from this Friday onwards.

Things are different for us in the Celtic family.. Contrast this
We donate to Great Ormonde Street Children’s Hospital..
Sevco under Green, promote raising money for the tribute act of a defunct organisation that stiffed creditors for millions.. And they think this is acceptable moral behaviour.. ?
Pay back the creditors!
And they wonder why people dislike them?!
Can’t wait for the Champs League draw!

The police, in 21st century Britain, have been attacking young girls with batons, in full view of cameras. Nah. Not calling anyone a liar or anything. But nah.
Did they not kill a man on camera down south a few years back? They also tore into us in Manchester in full view of cameras.

Yet another happy mug punter fleeced:
from The Belfast Telegraph :-
[ McCoist is already listed in the share offer prospectus as owning 1million shares in the club, a stake of just under 3%.
The brochure goes on to state that he will have more than 70,000 more shares after the new shares are issued but a smaller stakeholding of less than 2%.
“I have personally invested in the club,” said McCoist. ]
Stupid fat goat.
Awe man this is getting painful, but I did find a funny comment on hun media about their riot tonight.
Somehun posted “This is Nazi Scotland. We need to wake up because this is getting out if hand!”
A.N.otherhun replyed “i’ll start worrying when we annex Poland”
Ha ha. And I thought we were the moonhowlers.
Good night all.
From the bbc:
“However, while his [Green] speech was taking place, a section of the support staged a protest against potential plans to sell the stadium naming rights.”
‘The Green Fields’ is being mooted as a possible new name for the wasteland, prompting ad hoc insanity by the ravening hordes of inflamed zombie sevcovians.
iPox then, iPox now, iPox for not much longer.

Bedside thought for the night
Guns rule Americans not the other way round
A thousand could die there in one night (God forbid) and they would still debate it
Did they really think a legal deadly weapon culture would be useful forever….?
Maybe those sacrosanct constitutioners thought the indians could one day make a comeback and John Wayne was immortal…?
It seems those revered idiots who drafted up the right to bare arms must have thought so !
Obviously they could not see furtther ahead than the gunfight at the O.K. Corral
Love it when they say the gun issues are complex which is like saying death is inevitiable so lets put no obstacles in its way..
The only downside of the last day or so is that Annan were not able to inflict another record on this fledling club.
– Chuckles is downhearted due to failure
– Sevco share option a failure
– Sevco huns riot in their bigot dome
– Sevco bad publicity to follow follow (Hmmm, maybe not here where it happened though)
– Celtic doing the right thing by sick and underprivealedged children
– Celtic are on top of the league
– Celtic are about to be informed of their next Champions League opponents
We Are Celtic, there’s a lot to be proud about.
Hail Hail

Samaras becomes a double-century Bhoy..
STANDING inside the tunnel, Georgios Samaras points down towards the Lisbon Lions stand. “They took me through the back door over there so the media didn’t see me,” he recalled. “I had a meeting with Gordon Strachan and Peter Lawwell, and then came through the stadium and down the tunnel. That was the first time I´d seen the park and I was speechless.”
The Greek striker was looking back to January 2008, his first day at Celtic, because having just come off the pitch against St Mirren on Saturday, he learnt that he had reached another milestone in his career.
He already has many achievements to boast about – he´s competed in the UEFA Champions League twice, and twice he has qualified for the last 16. He is also the only Celt to have ever scored in five consecutive away European matches, which he’s done this season.
But at the weekend, in the 2-0 win against St Mirren, Samaras added another achievement to his golden CV, having played his 200th match for the club.
The total moves him into 100th place in terms of appearances made by past and present Celtic players, and out of the current squad, he is second to just Scott Brown who is 18 games ahead of him.
When congratulated on his success after the match, Samaras was unaware he had been on the verge of another momentous milestone, but he couldn’t hide his joy at the news.
With a smile on his face he shared his immediate reaction with the Celtic View, and said: “I didn’t have a clue. I´m not really good with stats, but now that I know, my first thoughts are that I am really proud.
“I’m proud that I’m part of this football club and I want to say a big thank-you to Gordon Strachan for bringing me here and a big thank-you to Neil Lennon for keeping me here.
“I am a little bit romantic, if you know what I mean. I want to stay in one team and try to spend most of my time at the same club if I can. I was in Holland for five years and I had a great time there – I had a good bond with the team. I like to serve a club for many years and hopefully I can do that for Celtic.”
Ironically, for a player who likes to stay as faithful to one club as possible, Samaras began his Celtic career as a loan Bhoy. He joined the Hoops from Manchester City, almost five years to the day, and he still remembers it clearly.
“The stadium was empty but you still feel something when there’s no-one in it,” he said. “I knew Celtic were a big club and I knew all about the history but being a part of that is something special.
“Nothing has really changed since. Things have been good and bad but in the end what stays is the love for the club.
“Every football player has good and bad moments, the road is not straight, but that´s normal, that´s life. What stays in the end, though, is your love for football and your love for Celtic.”

The media rules Americans (and the Brits et al) not the other way around….
With illegal war zones and drones all over the world, thousands of deaths are not debated….. Ever….Indeed they are considered irrelevant.
Aye, those Enlightened Political Philosophers were real dumb gun totting jerks eh? Even though they warned about the present day bullshit vociferously and presciently…. Stupid? Know thyself….
The America Constitution was Fine and dare I say Intellectually Dandy…
If it was adhered to… But it was destroyed long ago…
Far better than being a subject of the Crown… Right?
Every cultural group that has been disarmed by government has been legally defenseless, impotent then ultimately, eradicated by same government.
A Historically Factual MO that one is. …
But then maybe I am just a Hun that would never enter The Parlor??
