Social cost of Scots exclusion

1522
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

You want to know the real social cost of Scottish football’s exclusion from the league structure England and Wales share?  It’s the lack of pitches, nets, strips, balls and coaching certifications that the £1bn bounty, promised by the Barclay’s Premier League last night to the grassroots game.

£1bn to the grassroots is a huge sum.  It dwarfs what taxpayers can afford and will provide a series of benefits our kids and amateur players are denied.

If we’re part of the UK, we should be part of the UK’s commercial opportunities.  Every youth team in the land are excluded because of the actions of a cartel.

What are the SFA doing about it?  Nothing.  Their plans don’t seem to require world-class youth facilities.

    Not at all, that’s not how they work, as I said, a nod and a wink suffices most of the time, but sometimes, strings need to be pulled, rules need to be bent.

     

     

    The very fact they are using the name rangers is illegal, yet they carry on as if nothing happened, if I could be bothered, I could prob think of another hundred things they are doing illegally and nothing is getting done about it, we as sure as eggs are eggs wouldn’t get away with it.

    I am a labour voter always have been but I find it astonishing that labour men can give the SNP bhoys abuse about masons etc

     

    What has labour done in their 40/50 years of dominating in Scotland done for the people of Scotland and the poor?

     

    Why do labour have no policies? Why tell the people of Scotland that they will be responsible for voting in the Tory government ?

     

    The Labour Party I knew and supportered are more

     

    Give me a Scottish socialist Labour Party please

     

    I’ll probably abstain because I can’t vote Snp in a general election although I voted yes

    It looks like King never had any intention of keeping the gullible mobs club listed.If not listed,and no stock market controls,he can sit on the board,without their say so.

     

    Murray trying to soften up the SFA today with his guff.If they OK King,he can take over the reins.Personally,I cannot see the SFA giving him the go ahead.Far too much baggage.I know many will disagree,but I dont think they will.

     

    On the Masons debate,I think they once held a great sway over nearly all of Scottish life.I think that has diminished greatly.Times were a lot simpler then.The old trades were the only ones.An idiot could get away with things,not so much now.Qualifications are the thing now.

     

    The old bastions of Masonry will remain,the Police being one of them,but they will become less and less through time.The big Multi Nationals just would not employ a Mason over a more qualified applicant.They are Dinosaurs in this hi -tech age.

     

    The SFA are the same.This is their last hurrah.When this mob goes,we will see change.PL an example.

    The game Montenegro v Russia abandoned after 66 minutes. Russians got penalty but Shirokov missed it. Then we had fight between the players and the referee decided to stop the game for well. Pure Madness.

    Masons are not the same all over the land. In many places they are closer to the rotary than the Illuminati.

    If you take the literal meaning of the word conspiracy, I have to disagree with you, IMO, people have conspired to keep them afloat at all costs, turned a blind eye etc, that is a conspiracy.

     

     

    But I agree that there prob wasn’t a meeting in the begining to make sure that they were looked after, it prob just conspired-transpired that way.

    A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:

     

     

    “Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time.”

     

     

    “You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine,” retorted the lady indignantly.

     

     

    “In this country … we don’t speak aloud in public places about our sex lives …

     

     

    “Hey, coola down lady,” said the man. “Who talkin’ abouta sexa? I’m a justa tellin’ my frienda how to spella ‘Mississippi’.”

    Surly the mugs haven’t been duped again with false promises ….. That mob are a magnet for conmen

     

     

    I keep saying the same thing.Green had them sussed after a couple of weeks.King following on with the same crap.It will always work on them.Play the “Orange card”and they are putty in your hands.

    John Ford or his real name..

     

     

    John Martin Feeney.

     

     

    Later on in life he said his name was Sean Aloysius Feeney.

     

     

    A Sean Feeney classic might not have the same ring to it though.
