Place your bets on Supreme Court

419

I don’t think any of us regarded the possibility of playing a Champions League qualifier in San Marino next month as likely, but after La Fiorita left Belfast with only a single goal deficit, the prospect of playing the next round in an historically dubious territorial entity remains real.

Linfield were right to make provisions for the possibility of facing Celtic in the next round, but smiling executives and comments of making £1m on the tie is asking for it. The lesson for all of us is take care of the next game.

Football in June and July is a random lottery. We’ve learned this lesson often enough, but it’s worth reminding everyone again.

Yesterday we learned that the Supreme Court will publish its verdict on Rangers’ Big Tax Case next week. This one has had so many twists along the way it’s impossible to call. Whatever the outcome, there will be no surprise.

We may discover that Rangers tax affairs were not legal, not open to other clubs, and therefore bestowed an unfair sporting advantage. Or it may be that Income Tax was optional all those years. Place your bets.

    “A call to ipad users – I’ve been using an old one, long cast aside by my folk, with no issues until last week. Since then, two links from the newsnow celtic page won’t complete any of their articles; videocelts and the celticblog. All the others remain fine, including CQN. ”

    I use different browsers on my PC and the old IE one is doing what you mention.

     

    Chrome is working ok

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The fail message is ” a secure connection could not be established.” Any info googled doesn’t correspond to the options in my settings so far.

    Pog,

     

     

    Sounds like Michael Stewart….but it’s on in the background on Premier sports

  5. I often feel that when posters say Sevco are rubbish, it is because they want them to be so. The team that finishes third in the League cannot, in any fair comparison, be rubbish. Nevertheless, I have just watched five minutes of their game tonight and I thought, early days ,I know, that they look a lesser side than last year`s mob.

     

    I think my initial feeling that Pedro is a bit of a clown may well be accurate.

    Hot Smoked,

     

     

    How can you judge a team….who are dominating 1-0….against the 4th best team in Luxembourg ;-))

    *******

     

    Have you heard bad news?

  11. One after another

     

     

    Cardoso = Dross

     

    Jack = Dross

     

    Candeias = Dross

     

    Morelos = Dross

     

    Rossiter = Dross

     

    Calcio = Dross

     

     

    If only Progres had realised earlier it was Sevco who were the wee diddy team, the longer the game went the more likelihood of a deserved equaliser, and a stonewall penalty after a Lee Wallace handball not given to boot.

     

     

     

    Its the hope that kills them CSC

  12. Bada………

     

     

    :)

     

     

    The Kornies are actually a well respected feeder club for some of the best pub teams in….errr,um…..Progres,

     

    apparently……..

  13. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    Sevco never payed for any of those duds, all free transfers.

     

    And they are minging:)

    TTT,

     

     

    Regardless….I hope….means that no matter what, there is a case to answer to re the WTC and the DOS/VSS info that has come to light from the recent court case and that the LNS decision should be re-examined….I appreciate that this sounds convoluted….and I may be confused ;-))

  15. The Green Man says SACK THE Board on

    The Luxemburgers will beat Cape Fear FC in the return.

     

    Should be fun:)

     

    Sevco are in trouble, hee,hee

  16. Not a great sausage here so I cannot comment on how bad the huns were, but Progrès went to the bigot dome and played in front of a hostile crowd and only lost 1-0 and maybe should have had a penalty.

     

    I just feel sorry for the denizens of Niederkorn as they are probably blissfully unaware of what is going to be visited on them next week.
