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?

A wee booboo from PMG 28k not 28 million, if true that’s very lazy journalism in a SMSM styleeee mo chara . All in all I have been through all this before, blogs over cooking the trouble Der Hun were / are in yet they still persist.
Personally this time I will just bide my time not get overly excited keep the Moet and jelly and ice cream in the fridge until such time someone has verified that the zombie has been put down by the administration (pun intended) of the legal equivalent,IE winding up order, of 2 x 9mm hollow point rounds through the cranium. No resurrection possible, no purchasing of history (stop laughing) etc. But yet I hope that perhaps we may yet have our own wee ‘dawning of the day’
31003…… Arm Pitt..seperated etc.

Looking back the last tenish years we have only had 1 or 2 Jan/Feb cup ties with crowds larger than 30k.
Games v deidco excluded.
Average looks about 24k.

Read what your saying but…..I’ll never ever ever buy a book written by an ex Rankers player….
Just watched the ICT equaliser at yesterday’s game.
Seemed to me that all of their players, bar the goalie, were off the park celebrating their equalising goal. Unsurprisingly so.
What was not surprising was that no yellow cards were issued.
At the end one off the lads had his top in the air. again, no card nor should there have been one.
Why do we allow our players to be continually cautioned for the same offences without any protest? This one really gets to me…..

Good to see John Herron doing well. There will be a proud CQN granda somewhere enjoying that.
