Dramatic and ambitions developments in European leagues, in this instance Russian and Ukraine, who have taken Michel Platini’s endorsement for the regionalisation of domestic leagues, should inspire the imagination of every football fan and administrator in a league with problems.
Scotland has a league with problems.
Our clubs and national association are committed to reorganisation but neither proposal from the Scottish Premier League or Scottish Football League does anything to halt the inevitable decline and marginalisation of our clubs.
In the 60s, 70s and 80s well-run Scottish provincial clubs regularly beat leading teams from big European countries but since then our small domestic market TV market has made most Scottish clubs also-rans, both in Europe and at home. We have a league system where the battle for second place is competitive and interesting but does not carry a meaningful reward; only one club is capable of winning the league.
Before making any changes to our league system we need to consider what changes are happening elsewhere in Europe and have a mature conversation about regionalisation.
Ordered the CQN Annual yet? It is a product of literary brilliance. Get it here in time for Christmas!

Wino news.
Lidl have another Christmas cracker in, and going by the label, it will be available in britland, but probably more than it is here, it’s 1.99 here.
Anyways, it’s a La Mancha, 2006 Reserva called Ossaria, Tempranillo, tis a very good drop if I may say so.
Seriously Seven Fishes and I had given all we have, if Celtic dont win the Champions League this season its no our fault, we did well considering we didnt have a Riqueleme.
Saaakes Man.
Chuckles gives it one more shot!

Just how many goals would Hooper and Watt score if Juan Román Riquelme was conducting the orchestra?
NFL gave me the proudest night of my Celtic supporting life in many years against Barca, but with one or two additions, could we be on our way to Wembley? I still take the training sessions in, IMHO Danny’s made a difference, but as you suggest we need that killer pass, I give you Juan Román Riquelme.
Carlos Bianchi was confirmed today as the new coach of Boca Juniors. The president said the other day that the club’s doors were still open for Juan Román Riquelme if he wanted to go back.
Sounds like if the new coach wants him, they will make a gallant bid to get him to get his boots out of the garage.
If Celtic dont win the CL this season I’m chucking it, they’re no even trying
chuck appeals to their human side

What a read that was! Call me ignorant, but I was completely unaware of the extent of that dysfunctional family’s activities. What an eye-opener that was for me!
Vive la Republique!

I just told a Sevcovian that the band Queen stopped when Freddie Mercury died. Does not matter who Brian May and Roger Taylor play with, it ain’t Queen. They ve a history and old CDs but it ain’t Queen..
Pick any band. The Beatles( Lennon, Harrison). The Who and so on..

He’s not what I would call a madman, slightly excentric, but defo no mad, he has his finger on the pulse.
I have been spouting that the next recession is just around the corner for long enough, and things will only get worse.
I remember when I was a kid, many years ago, my Da always told me that gold was what it was all about, he told me that the world would go crazy, they would fight over oil, and land and food, but at the end of the day, the winner would be who had the most gold.
A smart man was my Da, I just wish he was around to see it.
So when is Chuck going to apologise to himself for being such a twat ????
Oh dear, have I chased you all away ?
Please forgive me, I didny mean it, seriously…come back please, I implore you, I can’t howl on my lonesome…
Ach well, ofski now, talking to masel was not on the agenda.
Take care and god bless Timland.

I keep waiting for this latest nuclear bit of ‘news’…..
…..damp squib..
….again.
i didn’t mean it in the sense that he is off his head & he is not to be listened to – i totally agree with what the guy has to say. i believe we need more guys like him in the mainstream media & i for 1 will certainly be watching more of his video’s.
have ye ever watched a set of documentaries called money as debt?
i recommend them to anyone that is interested in this – especially the lesser educated of society like myself. it explains how the banking system makes money out of society for doing absolutely nothing.

I had a brilliant win from a freebet given to me by sportingbet tonight. ;)
I seen an unreal coincidence that was in the film “The Dark Knight Rises” on another site and I’ll email you it now. That film title says a lot of what I have been saying lately.
