The Fifa Executive Committee meet in Zurich today and tomorrow but it is unclear if the allegations of corruption concerning the decision to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar will be on the agenda. The world body are no strangers to allegations of corruption, it seems to be an internal part of the fabric of the game at the top level, they are also extremely experienced at stonewalling such allegations.
The International Trades Union Congress, who are calling for the 2022 vote to be re-run, have called for fans attending games this weekend to turn their back on the field at the 22nd minute, to build awareness of what is going on with Fifa and the Qatari preparations.
When you get corruption at the top of an organisation it tends to undermine process all the way down. A clean and alert Fifa would give us a far better game. It’s time we were all asking questions about this.
Congratulations to Mrs Jobo Balde, who won at £50 voucher to spend at Cail Bruich, 725 Great Western Road. Jobo, drop me and email……….

Seville, The Celtic Movement, is selling like the proverbial……
“I decided to go to the train station only to be told that there were no more trains to Malaga that night and so I was now truly stranded. By chance I met an old man who asked me if I knew where the train station was. “It’s no good mate they are all off—all the trains have gone!”
“The old man laughed and explained that he wasn’t looking to get a train, but just needed to find the station as that is where he had parked his car while he and his wife went to the game.
“We spoke for a few minutes about what had happened to me and then he said if I could get him to the station he would drive me to Malaga as they were staying twenty minutes outside Malaga for the rest of the week!
“I was delighted and accepted the lift and we got to the airport just as the last call went out for my flight. I rushed on board and guess who was there? None other than my mate Jim. I owe that old man and his wife so much for their help.”

Jobo Baldie, Ha- you found me out, no my family were on at me to get a games machine such as an xbox so I could watch games on the tele rather than my laptop but thought too much money.
Then thought about investing in Apple TV but still too much then found this was about to be launched so bought mine in Currys earlier.
Chin was born 22-11-63. Big date in history.

I asked the older one if he saw BM?
The guy told me that Bobby was Boro’s best ever, and left a legacy that included Souness.

Basle might be in trouble cos of their fans behaviour ??
scotlands shame, sound comes from the tele, with YouTube you can shut your laptop lid and it still plays. With displaying what is on your laptop on the TV, the TV is about a second behind the laptop which must be kept open, I just put the laptop on the floor and turned the screen away from me.

Bobby Murdoch was my dads favourite player…
enough for me…
10 man Basel knock out Red Bull in Austria..

Bobby is oor Ru’glen Legend.
Was taken aback about the legendary status he is held in by Boro fans.
CowieBhoy, sure he was.
Cheers yogiy
BT can i ask more. Took me a while to get pic as my control panel on lap top diff than ones shown on you tube demos, couldn’t for life of me work it out. Im silly. Not even old enough to use that as excuse
“With YouTube it is even simpler, you press another wee icon when it is playing on the laptop and it plays on the TV without you needing to touch your TV remote.”
My wee brats do that the now.
Mickey mouse clubhouse and minecraft vids streamed during a game is….err…frustrating shall we say.
