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.

That’s great news about Virgil playing on Sunday. I didn’t expect it and I ‘ll bet he’s surprised too. What odds on a Virgil goal?

Only if we vote with the majority locally and nationally. Still waiting for my SRSP first win
:-) HH
In a first past the post electoral system, the majority can be a vague concept..
Just this afternoon, I received a Labour publication desperately retailing the lie that, come May 8th the largest party at Westminster will automatically form the next government.
Never in a million years should he find Labour a few seats behind the Tories, will Miliband
do an ‘after you Claude’ and wave Cameron into Downing St. Rather he will do any deal with any other party to form a government. As that is the way the system works, I wouldn’t blame him. I just wish that Labour would be honest about it. However, politicians and honety is rather a contradiction of terms.
So does Butcher’s non red card get rescinded???

Nothing in the Sheriff’s commentary suggests anything else. Personally I don’t want to jail a generation for singing. That is not an appropriate response.

BBC Scotland doing their best to put a dampener on VvD’s being let off the red card suspension. It all arose in the aftermath of a Scott Brown challenge on Ciftci. No mention of Ciftci kicking our captain on the head.
They make me sick.
Push the off button. Keep it off and tell them exactly why you no longer entertain them.
The BBC Online:
“An altercation in the aftermath of a Scott Brown challenge on Nadir Ciftci resulted in Van Dijk and United’s Paul Paton both being sent off.”
This Scott Brown challenge is taking on some astonishing importance. Has he been suspended sine die or was it considered a fair challenge?

The ole Director’s Box at Ibrokes must have resembled a festering cesspit the other night with their guest list resembling the cast from the Rocky Horror Show: Leckie, Leggat, Dingwall and Tin Foil Heid…
No wonder the players can’t concentrate.

That’s impressive, i’m not a huge Baklava eater. Efes drinker on the other hand…..

I agree with you. I just find it unlikely that he has been jailed for simply singing a banned song. Has anyone else ever received a similar sentence for a similar offence?
JJ
Baku Bhoy,sorry for the delay.,
Sorry to hear your news.Do you mean the Interest rate?.
Big Brian is a good mate of mine.Linda ,as well.We were devastated when she told us of her problem.Hopefully fully well now.Great wee pub.
The get Broonie campaign in full swing, if it was me I would tell them im hanging up my boots for Scotland to concentrate on my club career.
Lots of Turkey talk today could some of the Turkeybhoys give me some advice please,never been to Turkey.Would like to see some history,be near a decent beach for swimming,sample real local food and be nowhere near a concrete jungle.No much to ask for !!!!!!!!!!!.
Thanks in advance and Hail Hail.

Great, now all we need is for Bitton to be declared fit and the treble is on

This is clearer. Disproportionate numbers from BetterTogether Land for some reason. I particularly like Sandy Chugg pmsl
Sheriff Paul Crozier told him: “This sort of behaviour is quite frankly something from an age long, long ago.”
He added: “You are facing jail Mr Lamont, do you understand that?” Lamont, of Hertfordshire, was among 16 men that appeared at the court for a number of football related offences on February 1.
The Old Firm game a Hampden Stadium that date, was the first in almost three years.
Others that appeared in court included a coach at Morton football club, Jaymie Wiggins,18, from Port Glasgow.
He and Daniel Darroch, from Greenock appeared from custody charged with behaving in a way that is likely or would be likely to incite public disorder at Cathcart Road, on February 1, by shouting, swearing and making sectarian remarks.
They denied the charge and will stand trial in July for the alleged offence.
Darroch, 27, admitted a charge of possessing cocaine and will be sentenced for that at a later date.
Alexander Blood, from Saltford, admitted acting in a racially aggravated manner at Eglinton Street, Glasgow when he was told to move on by police.
Others who made an appearance for alleged football related, public disorder offences were Allan Baillie, 25 and Ryan Bell, 28 from Bo’ness.
Alexander Chugg, 42, from Cambuslang, South Lanarkshire, Liam Clarke,19, from Dennistoun, Glasgow and Kane Lamont, 19, from Dumfries appeared on charges of behaving in a threatening or abusive behaviour.
James Cowie, 47, from Chesterfield is accused of assaulting Ciaran O’Quigley at the Raddison Blu Hotel and of shouting, swearing and making sectarian remarks.
Others who appeared on alleged public disorder charges are Gary Boyd, 39, and Greig McColl, 39 from Drumchapel, Alexander Brisbane, 54, from Dennistoun, Callum Milligan, 19, from Derbyshire, Gary Reid, 21, from Clydebank and Stuart Stephen, 23, from Aberdeen.
Seven other men were released from custody without appearing at court.
All of the men who pled not guilty were released on bail and will stand trial in July.

Festering cesspit my erchie.
It is a cunning plan to fast track a return to the ethos of honour and dignity.

That means zilch to me as i only work with YTL or BG/Leva.
But i remember the interest rate being 57% and that wasn’t that long ago.
Yir man Erdogan has ruined it for folk living there who depend on interest on their savings.
I take it you dont have residency, so you’ll be out and in every 3 months for yir visa.
