@rob_brown8 @Dopefeinlbsm @FootyLock6 But predominantly their hands. For control, passing, tackling and even scoring. Punting the ball is still releasing the ball from your hands.

@_baracunt @Rundfunk_West @RianMoynihan @R6Astroo Did anyone tell Shelbourne football club? Bohemian football club? Shamrock Rovers football club? Etc etc

[oldschoolcelt @oldschoolcelt]

@RianMoynihan @HarryWellock @R6Astroo They go to aussie rules when they get the call but much harder technically to play real football with the feet.

Mexican football needs our help.

Instead of restoring promotion and relegation, the Mexican Football Federation has announced that there will be no promotion or relegation going forward.

The process has been driven by commercial interests and conflicts of interest rather than by what is best for Mexican football.

After years of promises that promotion would return, those promises have not been kept.

It's unfair to the many clubs, players and supporters in Mexico's lower divisions.

This should be the moment to strengthen the football pyramid, not close it.

Mexican football has enormous potential. The national team has just enjoyed one of its best World Cups, a talented new generation is emerging, stadiums are full of passionate supporters, and football is deeply rooted in the country's culture.

A few years ago, the Mexican Football Federation suspended promotion and relegation, arguing that clubs needed greater financial stability after the COVID-19 pandemic. The measure was presented as temporary, with the promise that promotion would return once second-division clubs had become stronger financially and institutionally.

During that period, clubs were told they would receive financial support, improve their infrastructure, strengthen their youth academies and work towards a certification process that would allow them to earn promotion to Liga MX.

That promise has not been fulfilled.

The consequences go far beyond the clubs themselves. Thousands of players now see their pathway to the top division blocked, regardless of their performances. Historic clubs with passionate fan bases have no sporting route to Liga MX, even if they win the league. Supporters are losing hope because their teams can no longer dream of reaching the highest level through sporting merit.

The issue is also financial. According to the clubs involved, Liga de Expansión teams receive only a tiny fraction of the television revenue earned by Liga MX clubs. They also argue that they do not receive a share of key commercial revenues generated by Mexican football, making it even harder to close the financial gap that is then used to justify keeping promotion closed.

The certification process was also criticised by the clubs, who argue that the final decision depended on a voting committee that included Liga MX representatives, creating what they believe to be a conflict of interest.

Several clubs have already taken their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), arguing that access to the top division should continue to be determined by sporting merit.

If you care about football, please help make this story heard.

Promotion and relegation are more than just a competition format. They represent hope, ambition and opportunity for every player, coach, club and supporter.

Football should reward sporting merit. Every club should have the right to dream of reaching the top division by earning it on the pitch.

@Quadrofenians @AnthonyRJoseph @TheBaldKyogo @PaulCarsonreid Planning to start scouting him next week then keep tabs until the last week of the window when it's low ball offer time before walking away and signing some dross on loan.

[oldschoolcelt @oldschoolcelt]

@yogijunior3 @ACSOMPOD Whoever it was if he thinks that's a scout report tell him not to give up the day job😅

[oldschoolcelt @oldschoolcelt]

@CraigCelt @AidanCregan Romanticising is a strange take. It was a very valid point to make that while the squad is average and needs serious work it was still capable of a lot better than the results Nancyball was serving up with his kamikaze tactics.

@Robbie_Bhoy1888 @GrainneMcw5503 Not sure mate think it was Tisdales recommendation but baby Desmond not far off delegating some duties and the change in tone in some of the clubs recent statements and the aggressive nature of baby Desmond at the AGM is all too much of a coincidence

[oldschoolcelt @oldschoolcelt]

@yogijunior3 @ACSOMPOD Imagine what we could do with a proper setup and a bigger budget.

[oldschoolcelt @oldschoolcelt]

@yogijunior3 @ACSOMPOD Hearts put on a boy as sub in a recent match & the commentator goes this boy was playing in the Italian fourth tier last season. Within a minute you could tell he had brilliant feet, close control & a minute later had a chance to cross from deep and put a cracking ball in the box

[oldschoolcelt @oldschoolcelt]

Class this. Would love to see more of the larger CSC banners on display at CP again. Better than any pyro display seeing all the banners unfurling in random areas of the stadium.

Celtic Mishmash update: I'm going to have to stop taking on the flags now, room is at a premium!

I've still got several more to add, but I'm going to spend the next couple of weeks adding to the pitch, as I can still see a little grass!

Many thanks for everyone's submissions.

It looks like HMRC have done us another favour and taken him off our hands🧐

[HMRC Customer Support @HMRCcustomers]

@stacebarbar Hi Stacey, you should just select 'No' to the question and state that you have never had a post grad loan. You'll then be able to continue with the rest of the return.

@coachtonymee Loads of folk love the game & are desperate to be involved & 'monetise' it as if you want to do it full time it needs to pay bills. But on the other hand it can't be a free for all & a line needs to be drawn somewhere. I think the quality coaches & genuine people are easy to spot
