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.

    Both maybe. But I can’t remember what I said. 8)))

     

    I have the great honour of escorting mini BT to the Kano dance tomorrow evening

     

    Tbh I was pretty ambivalent about the whole Kano foundation thing( no disrespect to our great friend Martyn) but I listened to Brian last week at the more than 90 minutes night and it hit a cord

     

    My tickets are purchased and I may not be bidding for auctions or spending loads on raffles but I’ve done my wee bit for the kids

     

     

    Sorry if I am spouting crap as usual but he ho

    any bhoys bet on the horses , i put on a lucky 63 for 10 pence,i had 4 winners out of 6 ,2/1 7/2 9/4 and 7/1 can someone tell me how much i will get back thanks.

     

    ——–

     

     

    take your 4 (or how many it was) winning odds. add 2 to them all. multiply them together then subtract 1.

     

     

    that will give you the winnings for a pound.

     

     

    so you divide by 10 since you put 10p bets on

     

     

    simples!

    Look forward to seeing you there. I made up my mind to go when I saw the joy on the faces of the Belfast weans at the game last Saturday. Kano Foundation is worth supporting.

    The masons, I would know a thing or two about the masons, having seen 1st hand how they work, how far their influence goes, the nod and the wink, and don’t forget the handshake is alive and well in bonnie scotland.

    We have overcome and we continue to overcome

     

     

    I feel proud when posters on Cqn give it to the Huns because they are Celtic fans

     

    Not catholic but Celtic, we are open to all regardless

     

    Take care mate , my love to the beautiful one

  15. Sipsini…….look i agree mate…the whole Sevco thing has been a joke, but not funny, i would die happy if they and their like were never to be seen again…but it aint some Masonic Conspiracy….its just men looking out for themselves…Thats All….

    “My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.”

    On their official website, Rangers International Football Club plc describes itself as the holding company of The Rangers Football Club.

     

     

    They must think this distinguishes them enough from Rangers (1872-2012) to allow them to escape any pursuance of deidco’s debts, but it seems to me to be a recognition that they are a new club.

     

     

    They’re just hoping not too many point it out, and that any who do are ignored by the ‘same club’ reality deniers.

  18. Cheers Sipsini… it works.

     

     

    WITS….. there’s a wee hun in Sydney just waking up on Saturday morning to a wee pressie. :)

     

     

    If any Sydney tims see a wee puff of smoke on the North shore, don’t panic. It will either be my hun acquaintance’s laptop getting a damn good thrashing or his heeds exploded.

     

     

    Poor wee sod loved his Russell Crowe.

  19. Regarding the Masonic thing,…anyone on here think that maybe, just maybe, some of the people at Celtic board level maybe masons, just asking….

  21. BT

     

     

    Aye, we are, slowly but surely.

     

     

    Was down in Granada today, very warm it was, low 30s, and the backdrop of the snow capped Sierra Nevads was a stunning sight, anyways, popped into an Aldi, got some top quality vino, one especially called Zagalin, a 2011 Crianza, has a silver gong on it, unbelievable quality for 2.29 euros a bottle, about 1.50 of your brit pounds, have a look see if they have any in Aldi in scotland, well worth looking out for it.

     

     

    I will thanks, she gets tired very easily, still working out the right levels of medication for her, she has very low BP, harder to control than high, but getting there.

  22. TET,

     

     

    Good evening, I’m not sure if it’s a good idea ACGR going to Australia on (buisness).

     

     

    Don’t tell anyone…do you remember years ago blokes were paid to go in a ring with kangaroos and box with them?

     

     

    Well, I’ve heard from the papevine, ACGR has signed up to go in the ring and fight wallabies on a three month tour.

     

     

    I fear for him, as they can be wee scrapers :))

  23. Russian sources say, Akinfeev was unconscious after firework hit him. He is in the hospital in Podgorica, conscious. Looks like injuries are not serious, hair burnt.

     

    Russian officials demanded technical defeat and did not want to get back on the pitch. German referee and UEFA delegate warned Russia, they could lose 0:3 if they did not agree to continue the game.

  24. “Captain Beefheart and BGX continuous SNP posters in denial of masonic power in Scotland shocker”
