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.

Any link to Ralston getting mauled?
—-
Mark on SSB v Ralston
by the way men
nae U in qatar
oops i sound like the grammar polis, im offski
Good article from Spiegel online,
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/migrant-workers-dying-in-qatar-ahead-of-2022-world-cup-a-925397.html
The best thing about Mark mauling Ralston was the way he teased out a real pro Sevco MSM succulent lamb muncher sitting behind a Radio Clyde microphone. I bet Ralston didnt sleep too good last night. Wonder how DJ would have dealt with such sound financial analysis being presented to him on live radio?
KINGLUBO
Crosas,in the same sentence as Messi,and even Modric?
Awe,ffsI know he didnae get a chance wi us really,a fine player who really got what Celtic are all about,but…..
Naw. Not in the same ballpark,much less the same sentence.
Nae offence,mind….

With a little bit of time to kill I had a bit of a trawl on hun media. I,m glad I did as I spotted a thread about the wee spanish rat’s new job.
Bitter and twisted wee fud Nacho Novo will be providing guided tours of the cesspit and they,re touting for business. It seems nacho has finally found his true level. He,ll show members of the public where the deeds ur, where the shredder is and where william taube “fell” allegedly.
I wonder if he,ll get a uniform.
Whaaaaaaaah………maybe he,ll finally be found to be good at something.Then again, maybe not.
Bhoys thanks for the link,outstanding.I notice BFSDJ is not on SSB again tonight.Delahunt/Herbison must be making sure he’s keeping his fat head down ,after his “wonderful” comment about the bigotfest last weekend.

Modren footnoted £2.5M loan facility required to underpin the cash flows in order to get the accounts past the auditors without qualificationnis rubbish.
Tag den Deutschen Einheit…..so Hoopy unification …Qatar is big news here , a wee example “German Football League (DFL) President Reinhard Rauball, who is responsible for Germany’s professional soccer leagues, added: “There can be no World Cup that is based on a system of slavery and disregards human life. The credibility of world football and its moral integrity are at stake.”
Any word from Herr Campbell etc…OT bit where is he?

Scott Brown,my favourite player,should not be getting all this sympathy coming his way from a good few on here.He made a total ass of himself ,let the team down and all the fans.That said,its over and done with now,but please spare me the aftermath pity.
Man City last night totally humiliated by Bayern.Pep now has the Bayern team playing the Barca style,Tiki Taki.Man City chasing shadows.Just reinforces my opinion that if you pass better,you get a lot more for your effort.
Can you say categorically there is no ‘U’ in Qatar, when all that is being presented is an approximate translation from Arabic script into the modern Latin/English alphabet?
And on the subject of words, Seamus Heaney readin’ his translation of the ole ‘Beowulf’ saga on BBCR4 is very good.
I think we did ‘Beowulf’ at school [never again! thought I ] but I’ll maybe have to look at the S.Heaney version.

New Article?
Some people have been suggesting a change in manager. Why not start to develop a wholly new approach? Why not send, say, John Kennedy to Barcelona for a couple of years to learn how they run their youth set-up particularly and try to do the same here? Pep Guardiola seems to have been a product and he is the very best there is, as managers go.
Maybe Better sending somebody to Bayern Munich?
Extremely wealthy Nigerian prince [ tall, N/S, GSOH, full set of teeth] seeks experienced Scottish football club for long term serious commitment and mutually beneficial relationship.
Successful applicant must have own transport, preferably of luxurious German bus variety.
Please send picture of bus to P/O Box 436, Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
The rat boy Novo only gained hero status with the hordes on the back of the fable he once turned us down.Played on it for his career with them.
Charlie had their gullibility for this kind of garbage all weighed up,hence his retreat to Normandy with his pockets full of Euros.
And still they scratch their heads and look bewildered.
Some of Bayern Munichs football last night was a joy to behold.

“Burial At Thebes” – ole Seamus’s version of ole Sophocles’s “Antigone” is a belter…
Why has the little nation of Qatar spent 3 billion dollars to support the rebels in Syria? Could it be because Qatar is the largest exporter of liquid natural gas in the world and Assad won’t let them build a natural gas pipeline through Syria? Of course. Qatar wants to install a puppet regime in Syria that will allow them to build a pipeline which will enable them to sell lots and lots of natural gas to Europe. Why is Saudi Arabia spending huge amounts of money to help the rebels and why has Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan been “jetting from covert command centers near the Syrian front lines to the Élysée Palace in Paris and the Kremlin in Moscow, seeking to undermine the Assad regime”? Well, it turns out that Saudi Arabia intends to install their own puppet government in Syria which will allow the Saudis to control the flow of energy through the region. On the other side, Russia very much prefers the Assad regime for a whole bunch of reasons. One of those reasons is that Assad is helping to block the flow of natural gas out of the Persian Gulf into Europe, thus ensuring higher profits for Gazprom. Now the United States is getting directly involved in the conflict. If the U.S. is successful in getting rid of the Assad regime, it will be good for either the Saudis or Qatar (and possibly for both), and it will be really bad for Russia. This is a strategic geopolitical conflict about natural resources, religion and money, and it really has nothing to do with chemical weapons at all.
It has been common knowledge that Qatar has desperately wanted to construct a natural gas pipeline that will enable it to get natural gas to Europe for a very long time. The following is an excerpt from an article from 2009…
Qatar has proposed a gas pipeline from the Gulf to Turkey in a sign the emirate is considering a further expansion of exports from the world’s biggest gasfield after it finishes an ambitious programme to more than double its capacity to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG).
“We are eager to have a gas pipeline from Qatar to Turkey,” Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the ruler of Qatar, said last week, following talks with the Turkish president Abdullah Gul and the prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the western Turkish resort town of Bodrum. “We discussed this matter in the framework of co-operation in the field of energy. In this regard, a working group will be set up that will come up with concrete results in the shortest possible time,” he said, according to Turkey’s Anatolia news agency.
