Andy's Sting

Jahnnie’s Non-Profit Organisation that Doles Out Peace Prizes and Cash? This is possibly the shortest Sting ever in a week where we’ll all be looking forward to the future as 2026 crashes our way. We live increasingly in a worrying world of deep uncertainty as China want to subsume Taiwan as part of their bigger plan, as USA see Greenland as their initial conquest and also know that Venezuela has the largest oil stocks in the world, and Mr Putin wants to start the real rebuil

This week after a truly immediate and worldwide reaction, except maybe from King Donald’s US shores where paying daft money for tickets to sport seems to have become a ‘badge of honour’, Fifa have acted. The overwhelming global negative pushback to both Fifa’s ‘World Cup Pricing Policy’ and their specific plans have triggered a few reactions from some of ‘Jahnnie’s’ overpaid, Swiss-based minions. Some planned, some as an attempt to confuse the ongoing anger and severe bad pub

The last week has seen ’Jahnnie’s’ vision for his very own Fifa, now and into the future, defined. And it all played out in full sight. Yes there was a bit of media noise and faux surprise after the reality of the World Cup cash grabs were announced. Hey ho. But in the cold light of reality there have actually been very few surprises. Infantino has engineered and delivered dollars everywhere he can because he knows its dollars that secure his power base. The European Fans Gr

Thanks Ron H for the headline I read somewhere on line this morning, I don’t know who you are but you hit the nail on the head. here's the full quote: “This isn't a World Cup for the fans, it's for the FIFA ‘leadership’ to show how important they think they actually are”. We’ve already seen that our cherished World Cup was recently hijacked into Russia because of Gazprom Dollars and then Qatar for their dollars and then by USA by their dollars. Dollars which score points and

Well done Celtic for a good away win at troubled Feyenoord but no pass marks for Rangers or Aberdeen. Maybe our worst European season ever and the bad news is our coefficient is tumbling the wrong way and damage to our game as a whole is inevitable. One harsh reality is our league may forever struggle to get any team into the Champions League and that will affect our top league. Our ‘mercenaries’ are not working for our game. This week Celtic fielded 4 Scots in their starting

First let me say “Three Cheers for Council Telly “. It’s fair to say that righteous mayhem with big smiles and hoarse voices has broken out across the land since Tuesday night’s match was beamed live to the nation by the ‘Beeb’. 2.9 Million viewers was the figure I saw quoted and many like me watched some of the match through their fingers especially immediately after their dodgy penalty award. It is a Fact There is nothing like football to unite our nation. Both the green an

Four days of uncertainty for all of us. On Sunday morning we’ll have a few clues but It will be Wednesday in the cold light of day that Scotland will either be in the perennial play offs or heading across the Atlantic next summer and shouting Yee Haa! We’re in the land of ‘ifs’, till Tuesday night and the fan positivity and desire to be stateside bound is already overwhelming. As usual. I remember the days when qualification for the World Cup was our norm and indeed the ramp

Not our best ever week in Europe. Results there are a benchmark and show just how far our leagues have fallen below the pace. But a red card or not seems enough to keep our red tops chattering away and fan rivalry active and ‘all is well’. But we all know it isn’t. And the songbooks last week were embarrassing to this proud Scot. Have we really sunk so low that the Glasgow derbies cup ties and increasingly frequent managerial changes are all we need to fill airtime and pages
