Social cost of Scots exclusion

1522

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.

    WTF

  3. Clocks go forward an hour. On the one hand we lose an hour’s sleep. On the other hand, an extra hour closer to the next time the Celtic play. I’ll settle for that.

     

     

    Thanks to all for the links tonight, especially the fast-becoming-a-CQN-legend Roy Croppie. Some of those pics bring a tear to the eye (especially after a bottle of Amarone :-) )

    The genius of Matt is never even touched upon here.

     

     

    I suppose it’s because our welcome-to-all-cultures is being abused by right wing fuds, but what can we do :(

     

     

    I despair of those that post here who are protecing the rights of the morons that post and dictate here now. If more were to stand against them, then mibbes all would be good.

    But they don’t, and ignorant muppets are dictating the discussions here more than ever. Mibbes the MSM have won this wee battle?

     

     

    I post less and read less now. I know you don’t give a feck about my opinion. This is where you’re being stupid and missing the point.

     

     

    Intelligent opinion and discussion is being thrown out the window on CQN, not by Jack Irvine or Jim Traynor, but by other muppets.

     

     

    Tony Donnelly, you could earn circa £100.000 a year from those two. You’re doing a great job.

     

     

    Halfwit, but a successful one.

  5. Just read back on the Hooper debate….. Massively over-rated.

     

    First touch of a donkey at times.

     

    Juventus away, dominating the game… Then super-hooper takes a touch worse than an elephant, and Juve score….

     

    I thought there and then….. Donkey !

    Nah, too many clueless hoops fans like you.

     

    He’s failed to convince 3 different Norwich managers.

     

    + never convinced me in a hoops top.

     

     

    Don’t talk about first touch against a 38 year old Davie Weir…. Go away and watch the Juve game again. First class donkey . Bar none

    Ha ha ever consider you are wrong?

  10. Nah…..

     

    Griffiths, I like… But won’t cut it in Europe.

     

    Guidetti is offski

     

    Scepovic…. Well, who knows.

     

     

    But bring Hooper back, nah.

     

    I bet Ronny thinks the same.

     

     

    We need a good number 9 for a tilt at champs league qualification next season

  11. Just posted a YouTube video of “Brave Protestant Men” by The Wolfetones on the Facebook Timeline of a “darkside” friend. Counting down the minutes ’till I’m “delisted”…

    Most Irish whiskey I,ve drunk has been mediocre at best. To say Jamiesons stacks up beside e.g. an Ardbeg is like saying cat piss is an enjoyable tipple.

     

     

    Agreed.I have 3 bottles of Jamieson,and only use it for Irish Coffees.

    Good taste in music…. so let u off with it.

     

     

    Only kidding. Nah, I just never thought hooper was all that. He done well, within a lennon team that done well…. but a good eye for football like me, could see that he was limited.

     

    And that has since been proven.
