Both sides are pretty poor compared to previous tournaments they've been in so actually hoping for a belter of a game with loads of goals and a few sendings offs/punch ups thrown in.

Think Cameroon will edge it though.

God that opening ceremony was embarrassing.

As for STAR, if they are shareholders (however, big or small those shares may be) - don't they have some sort of right to know what's going on? Clearly, TSI and now CS hold the fans in contempt. Barstewards. So no real perceived change from the RFC board then. Anyway, wouldn't shareholders be bound...

Is this now the official thread seeing as the official thread that was about has strangely disappeared?* Anyway, one game in and it's ruined by incompetent officials. Nice to see FIFA at least able to ensure consistency with all other levels of the game. * or not and I'm just as blind as last night'...

I am not surprised actually if the FL are taking an interest in Vibrac's position as they are NOT the owner's of the club and therefore SHOULD in NO way be able to dictate the terms of a sale. Their interest in the process begins and ends with retrieving any monies they are owed. So if that is corre...

I'm exCITEd at the thought of a breakaway thread within a thread.

This is, of course, an utterly pointless story as we have no chance of signing anyone until we have a new owner, by which time players like Mr Wilson will long have moved elsewhere if they are any use.

Margaret Thatcher was born in Grantham.

starliaison There's a longer than usual statement on the STAR website about the ownership situation.

There's also a response from a STAR Board member to the comment thread on TTE on a similar subject.

And the URL for the STAR site is.... ?

What's the betting this drags on and on and on well into the new season.....

I see Sepp is once again ignoring everyone and standing for re-election. And to complete the comedy no-one will challenge him and so he'll get back in even if no-one votes.

Be an even better tournament if FIFA weren't involved.

Or perhaps not, perhaps CS is a good guy, let's face it none of us are ITK so all we can do is continue all the mindless speculation and what if's until something official is announced and then worry/celebrate All of which is better than watching SKY's mindnumbing coverage of England in their hotel/...

Reading4eva We are in an absolute mess therefore. I think we are heading the way of administration. Just get ready for it people

Get a grip.

99% of football clubs are in debt. We have several offers from mega rich people.

Means nothing if the seller is over valuing the club.

Mr Dellor said he'd be putting a call into Mr Fry. No doubt though Mr Fry will be unavailable to comment on the current matter due to non disclosure legalities.

Yep can understand that, not interested in games where you don't care who wins. Might have done one day but, thanks to crap like SKY, football is just everywhere all the time so who cares as there'll be another game/overrated player/pointless punditry etc. along in a minute.

Let's just hope next week sees this finally sorted out.

Can I quote you on that?

Did Cornwall and Yorkshire enter teams?
