Sep Blatter hoped that Fifa would today ratify moving the 2022 World Cup, which will take place in Qatar, to the (i.e. Europe’s) winter months, however, that looks unlikely to happen. Fifa are split on the matter while Uefa president, Michel Platini, is keener to focus today’s meeting on the working conditions of migrant workers based in Qatar.
Right now Fifa have no grounds to withdraw the award of the World Cup hosting rights from Qatar, the award was made in full knowledge of the country’s climate. The treatment of migrant workers could change this. Fifa can insist that World Cup preparations do not expose workers to undue risk or inappropriate conditions. If Qatar cannot deliver within acceptable working practices the basis for legal grounds to withdraw the award has been established.
I wouldn’t book tickets for Qatar just yet.
The most enduring frustration from Tuesday night is for Charlie Mulgrew. Playing in his fourth choice position, which would never really be a choice Charlie would make, he did exactly what was asked of him against Iniesta and Xavi. His chance on 73 minutes could just as easily have bounced inside the post, which would have bestowed appropriate appreciation for the effort one of our own has put into his career.
Bring on the Ajax.
I’m curious as to who gave the £2.5m personal guarantee to lend Rangers International money, noted in their accounts this week. This is as big a financial commitment anyone has made to the Newco in some time.

Hee hee i’ll most definitely start saving for January! I know you’re back to the grind, i really hope the time goes quickly for you and keep up the good work swatting the odious troll, i’ve been thoroughly enjoying it. Take care of yourself Bobby and see you in the New Year!
Murdochbhoy:
The reason I mentioned Death of a Hero, was, apparently the gun Nairac used to kill John Francis Green was also used in the Miami Showband Massacre, apparently in tandem with a budle of other incriminating evidence; forensic and otherwise.
War without Honour, relevance to the above, see pages 77 and 79.
I don’t have MacAirt’s book that you mention but on being reminded, ‘the McMahon Family Massacre’ came to mind.
I’d also recommend, if you get the opportunity, that you read Chapman Pincher’s books, especially The Truth Behind Dirty Tricks, he ridicules a lot that belatedly was accepted as fact; especially so, post John Stalker. I can’t make my mind up about him though, he’s obviously a clever guy but he sure as hell is careless about letting worms escape from the can.
I’m left wondering when will the Strathclyde Police (RIP) resurrect the ‘Whiteboy act’ to combat the Green Brigade.

You’ll be able to borrow it from your public library, if it is not on the banned list. If it is, let me know, I’ll let you borrow my copy, cost me about a fiver.

Hi Big fella, we are a very educated group of people but To be Brutally honest, we Know Nothing.
And that is the REAL way, The Celtic Way.
The Big Guy in the Sky, well he is using Celtic as a pedestal Light, IMHO.
Meant to add…
The Whiteboy Act?
Well where would the Irish ever dream of such a lyric as
“They’re hanging men and women for the wearin’ of the green” ?
Jude, saw your post last night, re Little Sisters, my Aunt is a Mother in France, Mother Isabel. My late father was always in helping in the Greenock house, ask her about Jim D.
Bma
Was listening to SSB last night near the end when Jim Delahunt mentioned Walter Smith earned £150,000 during his short time as Chairman. Cue silence and immediately go to a break. Thats you off the lamb now Jim.
KITALBA
You may have already done so,but Year of the French is a good read about Ireland in that period.
boscobhoy2
when you say earned?
would appropriated be more apt?

Jim is a Tim. To the core,and will throw out wee snippets like that to remind everyone that he is also a journalist with knowledge and contacts.
Good on him,keep it up!
