Keep an eye on what’s happening at Leeds United. The club is under offer from ‘colourful’ Italian, Massimo Cellino, who will become owner if the Football League decide that his conviction for defrauding Italian tax authorities is not sufficient to make him an inappropriate person to control a football club.
If Cellino is declared unsuitable by authorities in England I am told to expect a coordinated media campaign to have people with similar backgrounds hounded out of the game here. The is a dirty war underway for control of one of Scotland’s newer clubs.
Leeds have historically been a club which it’s difficult to feel sympathy for but I genuinely feel for their fans, who suffered for the lack of a director to say ‘No more money’ amid the clamour to reach ‘the next level’, whatever that was at the time.
Now they are a massive club but lose circa £15m per year, making it impossible for them to compete with clubs far smaller than them. Being subject to the attention of convicts is a direct consequence.
On a completely unrelated matter, I read Phil Mac Giolla Bhain today use the word “Wonga” in relation to Newco Rangers’ recent attempts to finance. That was exactly the word used to me to describe a potential financer who is set to meet the club tomorrow. The campaign to oust the club’s current owners is significantly undermining their ability to do their jobs.
Well done to Big Yogi and the Highlanders for their unconventional route to the League Cup Final. It must have been an absolute sickener for Hearts fans to lose to nine men. Absolute. Utter. Sickener. Oh well.
I read Barcelona lost on Saturday for only the fifth time when Messi had scored. Can anyone name another occasion?

Are Glasgow City Council H&S Executive going to wait until someone is injured before they carry out an inspection at ipox…?
I think GCC are fully aware of the issues, especially re roofing and electrics. If that’s what your referring to?
How paranoid would the zombies be if GCC closed the bigot dome?

Bada,
I’d keep it shut.
Then announce there’s half-time strippers and a Indian buffet for all who have bought tickets already.
I’d also Chinese burn anyone who requests a semi/final ticket (should we be good enough to reach them) that didn’t go to Dons game. :)
Then
Good evening friends.
Citeh for me tonight. 2 wee bets on. Citeh to win with both teams to score. And Citeh at minus 1. Just a pity Neville’s not the co-commentator. Still love it when he talks about Man-che-city…

Caucasia is that anywhere near Lesbia, I knew a girl from there. :-)
I see a couple of references to cheddar cheese and I’ve only read the last page.
I can certainly recommend Collier’s Welsh Cheddar, available in my local Wegman’a supermarket.
A pound of it went down in a day between two of us while watching NFL a couple of weeks ago.
Sharp but not overpowering.
Memo to self. First time I’ve waxed lyrical about anything Welsh since Big John left.
31003
Which part of Caucasia are you from?
owen
How well?
hola.
does anyone have a definitive list of whom got an ebt, and for how much in the old rangers football club ?
ive alllways been suprised no fans group has asked them recipients to club together and support the new club with finance.
then again, its obvious they wont,
hahahhaha mugs.
we should have a saints day lottery for when the new club goes bust.
what was it last time ? saint hugos day ?
my money is on saint josephs day this year, that would make for a wunderful birthday.

BCW-Ta,i know guys have travel problems etc but i thought it would be around 50k there.£15 is a good price for a ticket.
owen
Understandable :O)

Even worse was all the other girls I knew said they were moving there too after meeting me.
And on that bombshell I will take my leave.
Top tier is open for the sheep game- tickets been sold for that for a couple of weeks- the guy next to me didnt get on the home ticket scheme and was offered one in the gods instead of his usual seat in105
Jist goes tae show how interesting this game is…..anyway….a tale from years gaun past…
1974…… The World Cup’s comin up…….

Jobo, with absolutely no malice at all… I hope you lose your money tonight!
Yeah, I know… I canna believe am backing Chelsea tonight either, but as a Chelsea win would benefit the Gunners, I’m backing Chelsea.
I’ll be washing in bleach afterwards mind…!
