We definitely should have a TEF drinking game: Reg blames the Tories in a non-politics topic is definitely on the list. What else?

Whilst I applaud and respect the upturn in Welsh fortunes, the following article highlights how ridiculous the FIFA world rankings are.

Wales have done remarkable well to be on the cusp on qualifying for next euro's, but are they are potentially the 2nd best team in the world!!

Wasn't sure where to put this. Isn't this kind of stuff normally our forte? Blackpool are welcome to it:

Does Europe really need a JPT equivalent?

http://bigstory.ap.org/urn:publicid:ap.org:78d3f60636b048828593c0cff77850c5

I know we 'benefited' from a similar venture when we weren't allowed to enter another European tournament due to our stature but the reboot following our relegation from the Premier League was a huge waste of time, I was at each home game of that but remember absolutely nothing about any of them.

Do St. Mirren really want to travel to NK Istra 1961 in Croatia at a probable financial loss?

I can't even begin to imagine where they would find space to get this televised if not on a Friday or Monday (forget the implications of maybe having to fit a domestic calendar around such fixtures) in order to find the necessary funding to make it a worthwhile competition, unless they're going to find sponsorship from Slush Puppy, Peperami or Vimto for instance?

I can't think of anything more pointless, might as well just put a channel of Harry Agombar showcasing his skills on a 24 hour repeat.

To be fair to Osborne, like a lot of our foreign aid, it'll be a sweetener being used as leverage on some other trade deal - it's called "tied aid" and it's pretty common practice ("We'll build you a couple of schools for £2m and make a big song and dance about our generosity if you buy this £100m worth of tanks we'd like to sell you"). And the government can quite reasonably argue that it's their job to boost UK trade with countries like China, whereas football in this country has plenty of money it could choose to direct to the grassroots if it chose to properly invest in the facilities, coaches etc needed to actually develop English footballers. But instead, football chooses to piss it up against a wall.

It will never happen...for the simple reason that such an arrangement would be advantageous to Celtic, to Rangers and to no one else.
