Of all the supporter-related offenses Uefa are disciplining football clubs on at the moment the use of lasers annoys me most (with the appropriate caveat for health and safety matters).
Racism, health and safety violations, violence flares are all appropriate reasons to sanction a club but it’s always bothered me that Uefa seem to let the continental fashion for shining powerful lasers into the faces of opposing players and managers was not tackled appropriately.
I was, therefore, pleased to hear Uefa disciplined Olympiacos for, among a rich litany of offenses, their fans pointing a laser at Anderlecht players during their recent Champions League game. The Greek club have been ordered to close the more colourful part of their stadium for their last 16 game against Manchester United.
It will surprise few of us that despite the Greeks being sanctioned for using lasers, Milan have gone unpunished, despite their fans pointing lasers at Celtic players during our recent drubbing.
These games are supervised and televised from multiple angles. If the use of lasers attracts a punishment, and it should, the rules must apply without fear or favour.

I know, I have spoken to your uncle on many occasions. That TT is a nosy git. :)))
DD
I think it’s the coat that TT often wears. He’s not nosey, just inquisitive in an Inspector Gadget kinda fashion :-)
DD
his nosiness led him to amsterdam trying to buy a crimson bulb :)

Thanks for the reminder.
I hope everyone who sees the GB members collecting on Saturday remembers that as we walk on by and enter the stadium, those boys and girls will be refused entry.
Minx
Good shout. Driving up, so it will be a couple of bags of tins fae our family. Love Walfrid’s weans. :))
am aff, but before I go
It’s strange how wee episodes from your life come back to you – a nudge from your conscious on what you were, and how others shaped you.
This, in the scheme of anything, is insignificant, but has stuck to my mind like a conscience mine… going off whenever I’ve thought I can’t be bothered.
Primary school, I was a wanderer, likely to end up at my granny’s, three miles and a school bus trip away – for which I didn’t have a pass.
I often got on this bus, and was hooffed off because I didn’t have a pass. Wee Davie Sharkey, bless you my man, if he’s on, I hope won’t mind me saying he was considered one of the “tinks” of the school. I hope he won’t mind because he should remember I was labelled as that too.
And a good catholic primary school… tut, tut. I remember being turned away from a fellow pupils door, his mothers look was like a spit in the face. That was the snobbery of people trying to climb the ladder, and adopting attitudes to suit
But Davy “the tink”, told me to take his bus pass, and that the conductor knew his face – he would just wave his plastic wallet. “What”, says I ” would you do that for”.
“Cos it’s right” sez he
Like I said, a small act and mibbe a laboured story, but it has stuck with me.
There’s nobility with folk like Davy, true stuff, not bought or fawned for, it’s in his guts – to hell with the rest .
And am aff
Night

I’m just naturally chatty and sociable.

Bet that was most of our childhoods. Seems a so close to home story. Remember at 6 not getting invited to my mates birthday party, cause it was for his school pals only.
TT
Was it S O’N who charged you?
DD
No idea.
We were were just glad for the lift.
I started a new job on the Friday.
No lift ,no job.

Stevie ran the bus and was a fiend of a fundraiser. I am sure you replaced 3 Bhoys we lost on the way to the Dam. :))
a question
assuming that it is bbc radio scotland. why is it called radio shortbread???????????
Barcelona, besiktas, Porto, inter Milan can’t believe Ricardo quaresma is sitting without a club …. Surely worth a trial
Huns oan CQN. Who’d uv kent it?!

Because Radio Eccles cake would be too English (:-)
TT
Some of these free agents declared wash outs .. are worth a look at.
Take a player who was deemed to have an exciting future in the game only to lose it all … When given a second chance .. can possibly grab an opportunity to redeem themselves…
Give them a trial…
What’s to lose?

How do you reckon this story finished?
Big bad wolf or little miss tuffet?
Someone must be able to do a little better than i can? Not by the hairs on my chinny chin chin………………………..
Little Miss Muffet sat on a EBT
Eating her Company and Club,
Along came a Gorilla,
Who sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King’s Media
and all the King’s churnalists
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Humpty Dumpty sat on the ground
Humpty Dumpty looked all around
Gone were the steak bakes
Gone were the pies
All he could see were EBT’s and Tax Avoidance.
Humpty Dumpty counted to ten
Humpty Dumpty took out a EBT
All the King’s media
and all the King’s churnalists
Were happy that Humpty’s together again.
We give a £1 to save a life through our charity and £10 in our taxes to kill God knows how many?

That is the tragedy of our day.
We have been used for centuries and we have not had a choice in it and thats no nursery rhyme.
Time for a change.
