Pretty much. I read it as “Drop me, gaffer. I’m an absolute hoofer.”

UEFA has revealed the list of referees who will be on duty for the major tournament in Germany.

And for the fourth tournament in a row, Scottish officials have been left out.

The UEFA Referees’ Committee announced the full list of officials who will take charge of the 51 games taking place across June and July this summer.

A total of 18 referees and VAR officials will be at the tournament - bizarrely, even including one from Argentina.

Been watching games - interesting changes and the stats back them up....
-----
Major League Soccer announced it will implement a pair of rule changes designed to limit stoppages in play during the 2024 season.

The changes -- an off-field treatment rule and a timed substitution rule -- were approved during a board of governors meeting Thursday, along with some other on-field rule tweaks and minor updates to the roster guidelines.

As league commissioner Don Garber alluded to last week during his state of the league address, the league didn't make any wholesale changes to how roster building can be conducted, such as a meaningful increase to the salary cap or an additional designated player slot.

The off-field treatment rule requires any player who remains down with a suspected injury for at least 15 seconds to be removed from the field by a medical crew and receive treatment on the sideline for a minimum of two minutes. Exceptions to the two-minute requirement will be made when the injuries come from fouls that earn yellow or red cards.

Over a season and a half of trials in MLS Next Pro -- the two-year-old developmental league -- the league reported that stoppages dropped from an average of six per match to 1.22.

The timed substitution rule will require players to exit the playing field within 10 seconds when being removed from the game. If they fail to leave the field in the allotted time, their replacement will have to wait an additional minute and enter at the next stoppage. (The rule does not apply for goalkeepers or injury subs.)

During the 2023 MLS Next Pro season, only 10 substitutions received the one-minute penalty out of more than 3,200 substitutions, according to the league.

None of the three announced changes on the roster side of things will have a profound impact on the league and for most fans will not lead to any noticeable difference.

Discovery lists -- which assign rights to various players outside of the league should they come to MLS -- have been reduced from seven to five players; transfer fees from designated player transfers or loans can now be used as general allocation money; and to qualify as a domestic player, residency "must be established, or the player has to have appeared for an immigrant visa interview by the opening of the Secondary Transfer Window."

There had been speculation -- if a lot of it informal by external parties -- that the league could take additional steps in order to help its teams become consistently more competitive with teams from Liga MX, especially in the wake of the expanded Leagues Cup and growing collaboration between the two leagues.

However, Garber poured cold water on that concept last week, at least in the short term.

"The time will come when we no longer need to be segmenting our spending and not necessarily to provide more freedom, but because all of the objectives that we were looking to achieve with all of these strategic initiatives will have been achieved and therefore we can move in a different direction," he said.

"I think you'll start seeing in the years ahead some streamlining of those rules now that we have more fans, particularly more fans that are looking from outside the United States with soccer fans of international leagues here and are looking at clubs that don't have those restrictions.

"I will tell you it has really, really been working for us up until now. And the reason for changing [will be] because we'll no longer need it. When that time comes, I can assure you the league office, all of our clubs and our fans will look at it as a new day."

The other small changes MLS approved were that stoppage time will now be shown in the stadiums (in-stadium scoreboards previously stopped at 45 and 90 minutes); VAR decisions will be announced by referees; and when opposing players suffer simultaneous head injuries that require off-field treatment, they will return to play at the same time.

i see that having given darren o'dea a new role we are searching far and wide for a new under 18's manager to develop our fine young talent.

clearly putting everything we have into finding the right man for the job, a man who can develop our young players to their maximum potential, prepare them for working under the illustrious stephen mcmanus.

fortunately, would you believe that the top two candidates just so happen to be ex players of ours.

step forth charlie mulgrew and johnny hayes.

Charlie Mulgrew can always lock the young player in the dressing room if he hopeless and forget he is there.

Got to be a ‘Celtic man’ see. Someone who gets the club.

We display all the traits of a safe plc and have others that resemble the “family firm”. How we are expected to progress is beyond me, yet merely serves to show we can never be anything other than slightly better than our biggest rivals with nowhere to go.

Sums up our leagues and where we are in the grand scheme of things to be honest

Somewhat amusing that when Ajax, ManU, Barca et al do it nobody on here bats an eyelid. It is endemic in the industry, right or wrong.

this, it tends to be a stepping stone to build experience and move on from.

If someone moves into one of these youth set up roles if they are good enough the more often than not step up their role and rarely remain within youth football, therfore its pretty much impossible for all the bigger teams to be able to employ an experienced successful candidate for the role cos 9/10 they have progressed their role

See a lot of shiete on FB for the Miovski/Wankland debate

Seems Miovski by a landslide as to who both Celtic/Rangers should go for out of the two

Imo Miovski won’t even be in Scotland next season

you may be right in regards to these two candidates. I dont think at that level its as much down to coaching credentials but more keeping the discipline and hiunger in youth players to stick and give it 100% and neither scream to me as being the name to look up to and command huge respect.

4m seems to be about the fee for Miovski.

Good player, the money would make me nervous considering he took a few months off this season but undeniable he's the stand out in a schite Aberdeen side and has been at his best against the best teams.

I'd be delighted if we went for Miovski at £4-5M in the summer.

As much as I am slowly coming around on Idah I think Miovski is a far better option as an alternative to Kyogo and could work very well beside him too

I think it will be much higher than 4m. if they dont get any offers then they might need to settle for that I think he will go for almost double that.

If we coudl get him for 4m I would be very annoyed if we didnt try. I suspect we will have Shankland due to not being able to afford Miovski

how often has that happened.

the best candidate every single time just happens to be an ex player.

or the chairman's son.

or an ex managers son.

youth development should be massive for us, its important to get the right man not just "he'll dae"
