So how about this scenario, Celtic Youths are trailing in their league with 10 games to go when they register three new players, but someone’s ‘at it’. The players are all over-age but the date of birth on their registration forms have been incorrectly completed, so the players are registered and become eligible to play the remaining games. Celtic Youths win their remaining games and win the league.
At the end of the season the deception is uncovered. The people responsible for filling the forms out incorrectly are criticised but one is president of the Scottish Football Association, who give evidence to an inquiry that as the Association registered the players, the results must stand.
Time to “draw a line under it” is the line from the SFA chief executive, hoping with all his might that no one mentions the Scottish Youth Cup games the players also played in, which would invoke a parallel punishment to the one recently imposed on Spartans Youths for exactly the same offence in the same competition. The chief exec also dismisses attempts to call those criticised by the inquiry to account as scapegoating.
Ridiculous? Of course, but this is what we’ve just experienced, with another club, of course.
Challenging the verdict, if possible, is a worthwhile endeavour but it will only treat one symptom of the many issues facing Scottish Premier League clubs, who could be forgiven for losing the will to compete within the rules. Fans of several SPL clubs now believe their best interests are served by playing in an environment beyond Scotland – for a whole range of reasons.
We have to work with fans of other clubs to make the case for the SPL, as a unit, to leave Scottish football (I see cross-club initiatives are already underway).
On a completely unrelated question, if you had £21m in the bank late last year, and you were burning cash at £1m per month, which year would you run out of money?

Karl, a character in Coronation Street tonight, “Why is everyone obsessed with moving on?”
Mind you he did used to be in Taggart, so probably knows what’s going on!

I agree that La Liga is miles ahead of the epl, but Real are imo, no great shakes, manure are good enough to beat them, I hope they do, like Real a bit less than manure.
A wee bit like us agin Juve the other week, had Efe not made a bollix after a few mins, I reckon the result would have been so, so different, Lenny decided to go for it, he saw that they were there for the taking, unfortunatly, we got mugged, but hopefully we will learn from it.

Many thanks for the info much appreciated. Enjoy the Chablis.
We are due to fly out of Stanstead at 6.30am Weds. Meant leaving home at 3am. After a bit of discussion with the other three we are now leaving Swindon at 9pm tomorrow night, and staying in the bar until our flight is called. !! Not entirely convinced its a good idea but have to go with the
majority. Not told the wife yet.
CRC. Trust all is good. Should be up next week for the CQN fives. Book me a spot. I’ll bring my gum shield.

I’m sitting here jealous, just now.
My companion at matches these days is my youngest son. He’s 13 so Juventus and their Ultras just wasn’t an option.
I took him to the Nou-Camp and he had a ball.
HT
he was on the news tonight …..re the OBrien extended news slot
I’ve only ever seen him on the TV making anti catholic comment ….I was giving him the benefit of the doubt as being an aggressive secularist

Just read your post from last thread,inspiring and humbling.I hope you like this,if not then up ye,it’s the thought that counts. :)))))))
All the best fhella.
Touch it: it won’t shrink like an eyeball,
This egg-shaped bailiwick, clear as a tear.
Here’s yesterday, last year —
Palm-spear and lily distinct as flora in the vast
Windless threadwork of a tapestry.
Flick the glass with your fingernail:
It will ping like a Chinese chime in the slightest air stir
Though nobody in there looks up or bothers to answer.
The inhabitants are light as cork,
Every one of them permanently busy.
At their feet, the sea waves bow in single file.
Never trespassing in bad temper:
Stalling in midair,
Short-reined, pawing like paradeground horses.
Overhead, the clouds sit tasseled and fancy
As Victorian cushions. This family
Of valentine faces might please a collector:
They ring true, like good china.
Elsewhere the landscape is more frank.
The light falls without letup, blindingly.
A woman is dragging her shadow in a circle
About a bald hospital saucer.
It resembles the moon, or a sheet of blank paper
And appears to have suffered a sort of private blitzkrieg.
She lives quietly
With no attachments, like a foetus in a bottle,
The obsolete house, the sea, flattened to a picture
She has one too many dimensions to enter.
Grief and anger, exorcised,
Leave her alone now.
The future is a grey seagull
Tattling in its cat-voice of departure.
Age and terror, like nurses, attend her,
And a drowned man, complaining of the great cold,
Crawls up out of the sea.

I particularly like the clear and definitive Clause 8.13 which governs, with an iron fist, the Entry Criteria in the event of an ‘Insolvency Event’ during the preceding season. This masterpiece of lucid rule-making is sure to keep us all safe from clubs that may be on a slightly shaky financial footing. And I quote:
“…A club may meet the terms of the Entry criterion …provided that the club meets certain conditions as set out by the Licensing Committee, at its discretion, from time to time…”
Everyone feel safe and secure now?

I’ve asked and wondered if green kept his word on donating all the money from the Scottish cup tie with dundee utd, as promised?
Popt into hun media earlier an they’re exalting green for donating £16,000…and pledging another £100,000.
Now I’m not sure how much the huns made from the game.
Circa…£150,000. We know green will not honour his pledge..a snake of a man.
