Proper Judean's People's Front/People's Front of Judea vibes going on here

An internal power struggle in Russia? https://twitter.com/emopunkmedia/status/1555189217231249410

The argument is that by having a better stadium you can attract better non-matchday events, and increase the possibility of hosting European finals, especially if there's a small expansion included.

At what point does Russia 1 Channel start playing Swan Lake?

Prigozhin acting like Napoleon returning to Paris with the Army sent to stop him, joining him. Kadyrov will flip as soon as Wagner offer him a better deal.

Also kicking off now with a few videos of skirmishes breaking out in Rostov.

Thread name needs changed to Russian invasion of Russia imo.

Well now...

Brutal, eh?

Putin has lied at every turn, as much as I can't stand Boris, I would trust him over Putin.

What no posts for an entire day? Would this be a push for Mariupol or for Melitipol as they're both in the same general direction, no?

Rangers fans taking it well on twitter I see: https://twitter.com/4ladshadadream/status/1669072756699197442

I think if you look at countries of a similar size, they have a lot more than six regions when you go down the pyramid. It also gives you the opportunity to strengthen ties to the Amateur game. Cupar Hearts (for example) would leave the a Fife League to go to a Fife and West Lothian League rather than having trips to Hawick. Although I get at the moment there is a weird West Lothian heavy feel to the Third. Same is true in the West, you have Lugar Boswell Thistle and Campbeltown Pupils in the same league at Tier 10 - a 3hr 50 drive according to Google. For me Tiers 6, 7 and potentially 8 should be region-wide, with Tier 9 and 10 being at a district level. With the EoS and WoS being much stricter on ground requirements at the Region-Wide level.

I think once you get to Tier 8/9 districtisation is the sensible approach. I really don't understand the SFA's disquiet about it. They don't run the disciplinary procedures at that level.

Clearly had checked out from about AZ onwards.

It's interesting this season. United will be favourites, which is often a poison chalice in this division as we've seen over the past few years. As for who will challenge us, Inverness and Thistle are both broke, Ayr are spending money on ground redevelopment. Morton are a dark horse, but again finances are tight at Cappielow. Think the surprise package will be Raith, new investment, a decent manager in Ian Murray as well, the signings they've made look decent. As for us, it'll come down to key moments like in 2019-20 when we had Shankland dig us out at the death at home to Arbroath, when in 2017-18 we drew at home to the worst ever side at this level. It's all academic until we sign someone, and get rid of Mulgrew and Edwards, as it seems we're losing out on many of the key targets

They could, but that's on the SFA and UKAD to test. The SFA have a really poor record on anti-doping, think there's only been like 8 tests in a six months period, when other sports such as Athletics, Cycling, Boxing and even Darts have more tests.

Can't believe this needs said but if they're not in a state to remember if they consented, then that's not consent. You absolute danger.

He already has.

Imagine getting rattled by a Drag Queen reading a story book. A total riddy

Really enjoyed it, Series 3 was definitely the weakest of the three, with the whole Zava plotline felt like a bit of a waste. On the whole, it's a bit twee as others have pointed out, but not everything is Line of Duty or Succession. I see that Apple are already hinting at a spin-off featuring Beard, Nate and Kent.

Ah thanks.

Am I missing something here? That looks pretty accurate.
