Suker, Uefa and regionalisation

935

Croatian hero of the 1990s, Davor Suker, currently Croatian Football Federation president, is campaigning for a place on the Uefa Executive Committee, one of 12 people chasing 7 places.

Sukor has been campaigning across south-eastern Europe, with a simple message: collapse the cream from the national leagues of 13 countries into one powerful 42-team regional league structure.  He has support across the region, including Turkey and the former Yugoslav countries.

Smaller countries across Europe have realised that they must regionalise or accept a future of irrelevance.  The Gazprom-funded deal between the Ukrainian and Russian regional league floundered at the onset or war but regionalisation is not going away.  We need innovative campaigners like Suker to rise to positions of authority, replace the ranks of the incompetent and talentless.

Well done to newco for rewarding those who used their media outlets to campaign relentlessly on their behalf in recent years with a seat in the directors’ box on Tuesday.  I’m sure David Leggat deserved the accolade of being the only mainstream media journo so honoured, which is quite something.  New season lamb is in stock early this year.

    Our team captain……..?

     

     

    …………slumped in the street outside a nightclub?

     

     

    …………days before a cup final?

     

     

    ………..naive, at least

     

     

    ………..very sad, at best

     

     

    And I like Scott Brown, as a player

    Good Morning Timland.

     

     

    Cqn really is a broad church.

     

     

    A rancid bigoted hun get’s four month…what a shame they cry.

     

     

    Scott Brown get’s pissed and Alfie want’s him banished.

     

     

    Away tae walk the dug,shaking ma heid as I go.

  3. Scott Brown has improved even more, as a player, under Ronny Deila.

     

     

    Ronny Deila now Knows what he is up against in Scotland.

     

     

    Win the Treble in STYLE Ronny please.

    WITS superb tipping for the CQN massive, I’ve missed all the Winners but definitely got on your 2 tips today.

     

     

    I’m so sorry.

  4. MOTM Sunday?

     

     

    Broonie?

     

     

    I said to DD that Ronny D’s team is going to be radically different in 12 months.

     

     

    It definitely Will be.

    So we are accepting from a discredited rag with an anti- Celtic agenda that:

     

     

    1. These photographs were taken this week?

     

    2. They were taken outside a strip club?

     

    3. Scott Brown was scoffing down greasy food?

     

    The other photograph they have below it on their web page is of the Mullet holding a hun’s scarf above his head.

     

    I’m not condoning Scott Brown’s inebriation but he could have been at a close friend’s stag night. Most young guys have been down that street even when they should know better. If I knew at that age what I know now, 60 in 3 weeks, I might have behaved a bit differently when I was younger.

     

    I am sure none of the Lions would have been out drinking before a cup final…… or maybe they didn’t have arseholes with cameras following them about.

     

    If he plays a blinder, his usual performance, and holds up the cup on Sunday this will be consigned to the chip shop.

     

    As I said a rag with an agenda……. days before we play in a cup final!

     

     

    Hail! Hail! PMTYH

    Dundee United fans will burst into applause in the third minute of Sunday’s League Cup Final in a bid to encourage the Scottish Government to support Frank’s Law.

     

     

    United for All, the group behind the idea, will also unfurl a banner before the clash with Celtic at Hampden.

     

     

    Tannadice legend Frank Kopel, who wore number 3 in his playing days, succumbed to vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s at the age of 65, six traumatic years after his diagnosis.

     

     

    His widow Amanda has campaigned for free personal care to dementia sufferers under the age of 65.

     

     

    more here:

     

     

    http://www.eveningtelegraph.co.uk/sport/dundee-united/dundee-united-fans-to-show-support-for-frank-s-law-at-league-cup-final-1.849934

     

    When Frank was diagnosed, she was forced to give up her job to care for him and pay for care services that are free for those over 65.

     

     

    There are over 3,000 dementia sufferers in Scotland that are not entitled to help.

  11. Top of the morning to you all from a dreich, but still, Fife.

     

     

    Sauce seems to be the main story this day.

     

     

    Brown is entitled to let off steam on his days/nights off. He never pretended to be a candidate for the Trapist Monks but he is an honest punter and will do me as long as he obeys the rules regarding pre-match abstinence.

     

     

    On Questiontime Charles Kennedy looked as if he had been on the drink but was just about holding it together. Sad to see a decent man in trouble.

     

     

    I think Stan Collymore got it right in his tweet:

     

     

    Stan Collymore ‏@StanCollymore 7h7 hours ago

     

     

    Seeing a lot of mocking towards Charles Kennedy. A good man who needs a little help. Like many people do now and again.

  12. TBJ says Wee Oscar Knox is in heaven with the angels on

    Broonie to score and do the broonie on Sunday … Then lift the cup

  13. Pogmathonyahun aka Laird of the Smiles on

    There will be guys coming on here later, with an agenda, who will want Broonie dropped and stripped of his captaincy, but as far as I am aware Broonie has not:

     

     

    Killed anyone

     

    Raped anyone

     

    Harmed any children

     

    Drove home drunk

     

    Been caught on TV cameras of deliberately kicking someone in the head on a football field

     

     

    Welcome to Scottish football Ronny it will only get worse the more successful you are.

    Frank Kopel was a top class player for Dundee Utd…I hope his memory is respected on Sunday.

     

     

    Broony…LOL:)))

     

     

    Don’t under estimate Wims-Tims in the Dundee Utd dugoot…………….oot.

    Scott Brown was in a strip club? Good man and a lucky bassa, good for him.

     

     

    Alfie nooks GTF with your pervasive drivel. I wouldn’t even do you the service of reading the sun to see what crap your source has written.

     

     

    I hope labour get the embarrassing kicking they deserve in May.

     

     

    You make my skin crawl.

  17. Good morning CQNers,

     

     

    winning captains @ 23:25

     

     

    Great news that ASA have ruled the Herald a statement from (some) Celtic supporters was a “true, honest, and accurate”….

     

     

    Well done to everyone concerned.

     

     

    Alfie Noakes, what happened to your charitable nature in the 49 minutes between your posts at 02.21 & 03.10 ?

     

     

    My very best wishes to everyone trying to pick a winner at Cheltenham today, I think we’ll all need it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many runners on the final day of Cheltenham – it could be redemption day for a lot of bookies.

    It is most irritating getting a Cold and not being able to hear anything.

    I didn’t know Frank Kopel but I have met his wife and his son.

     

    Lovely people and I wish them every success with Frank’s law raising awareness of Alzheimer’s in particular those under 60 who suffer from it.

     

    Like u I hope and I am sure his memory will be respected on Sunday.

     

     

    On the subject of the fitba cards with the bubble gum…. I needed Billy Kirkwood to complete the collection, needed him for weeks . Every bit of pocket money went in them.

     

    I did a lap of honour on that glorious day I eventually got him!!!!

     

     

    Happy days indeed !!

    Amazes me how some people believe/read the gutter press, on their fantasy stories on anything Celtic related. Especially on a day when one of them has to issue an apology for a non story/lie about our supporters.

    “He (Chris Graham) came to general attention as a regular presence in TV and newspaper discussions on Rangers’ capitulating finances pre-liquidation and the on-going financial travails of the new club.

     

     

    He came across on telly as if he gave up charisma for Lent one year and nobody ever told him it was Easter.”
