Seems to me the 'west' are happy to let Putin and co do what they like as long as it isnt on their own doorstep and doesn't affect them immediately The political equivalent of saying 'That's appauling, they should be locked up' while a part of a crowd watching someone getting beaten up on the street. But as Rico points out, the break up of the USSR is part the long history of trouble caused by countries, continents etc being carved/ broken up to form separate nations. Africa, USSR, Yugoslavia, Middle East and so on

Thought it was a reference to the next nations league

Wonder if there is the potential for Scotland and Poland to get byes to the playoff finals in a few weeks time?

Oh dear

Going on that story Nicholas could have potentially beaten Jean Marc Bosman to the punch had the Dons not come looking

A 34 year old george best who was past his best and allegedly was sacked by hibs for off field exploits. Boosted crowds for the novelty but team were relegated. Let us not forget Cannigia and Ravanelli played for Dundee. That worked out great for them too

What I recall from Ebbe was a man who inherited a team which had been decimated by a combination of poor management, terrible transfers (£850k for Brian O Neil, £300k for Nigel Pepper and several others), and a Board who suddenly made the decision they were in the shit financially so really put the padlock on the transfer kitty. First season yes we finished bottom of the league but the next season it was 7th, and then after that it was 4th and giving Hertha Berlin a run for their money. The guy had won 4 Danish league titles, and 3 danish cups with Brondby (and shown Aitken how to manage in European football), and even had a short spell in charge of Benfica. He had a good record of developing young players (including Anderson, MacNaughton and some donkey called Brian Laudrup). Ive still got my copy of the Red Final in which he signed a comic strip taking the piss out of him too. Before Ebbe we had Aitken & Alex Miller (Who gave away Billy Dodds), and after him there was Patterson (who I seem to recall was up against Ian McCall for the role), before finally getting a hint of success with Nichol and Calderwood, then right back down to earth again with McGhee and then Brown. With the new training facilites and healthier finances I'd say the club is crying out for an Ebbe Skovdahl

Stuart Baxter? Surely one of these days hes gonna turn up in scottish football

Panda is part of the scouting network?

You sure about that?

My regular podcasts were getting a bit dull so spent an afternoon listening to stories/ documentries about Brian Clough. Real loss to the game

2013-14 season 48 Points 41 Goals scored 43 Goals conceded

Didnt realise it was on

As much as it is entertaining that Middlesborough have equalised, it only adds to my lack of understanding of the current handball rules? Suggestion from commentators is had the boy who handballed it scored, it would have been disallowed, but because he fluffed the shot and his teammate put it in, the goal stands

Went to see 'Licorice Pizza' last weekend. Peaked my interest as it had less chance of NEDS showing up to see it plus its same director as 'Punch Drunk Love' Thought it was very good. Great soundtrack too
