Much like his career, B-liar's film will be a work of fiction so won't be reviewed by their politics editor. HTH

Frottage

Mike - out of curiosity, did Jordan give the impression (directly or indirectly) that Cortese actually liked the concept of a large flag being used by fans before each home game? (in general, not specifically the Markus flag idea)

I guess, in hindsight, the flag would have stood more chance of being used regularly had it been less 'overt' in the message it was conveying....say, just the SFC badge with "W.I.F.M" underneath, or such like. But that doesn't detract from the sterling effort that Mike put in to make it happen. Indeed, the more I think about it the more the annual appearance of the flag seems like a much more special gesture to Markus and the family, even though that wasn't the original intention.

I'm thinking this is probably the best way forward. As FC says, it will keep it special. It somehow doesn't feel right taking it to away games.

Yep

Hmmm...

http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/local/east-hampshire/vladimir_antonov_bailed_as_extradition_hearing_adjourned_1_3284656 Antonov is charged with misappropriation and forging documents to cover up his theft, the court heard. Baranauskas is accused of misappropriation, false accounting, abuse of an official position and forgery. They could face up to 10 years in prison in Lithuania if they are convicted of stealing the money, the court was told. The pair, who were dressed in dark blue suits over open-necked shirts, both said they did not consent to being extradited to Lithuania. The court heard that both men had arranged that they would voluntarily be arrested by the Metropolitan Police on November 30 in connection with the Lithuanian authorities’ investigation, and were taken by surprise when City of London Police held them yesterday. Rachel Scott, defending Antonov, said the Russian businessman had longstanding ties to Britain. He was granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK in 2005 and his wife and two young children live with him in Notting Hill. “He strenuously denies dishonesty in any of his dealings as regards the bank,” Ms Scott said. District Judge Caroline Tubbs granted both men conditional bail. Antonov must pay a security of £75,000, surrender his passport, live and sleep at his London home, and report to Notting Hill police station between 8am and 10am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Baranauskas was released on condition that Antonov’s wife puts up surety of £250,000 for him and that he surrenders his passport, lives at the address in Kent and reports to Bromley police station daily between 8am and 10am. The next hearing will be at the same court on December 16. Earlier, Pompey co-owner Roman Dubov spoke briefly to The News outside the City of Westminster magistrates court, saying: ‘I am trying to save the business and help a lot of people in employment.’ He appeared to be referring to, but did not specifically name, Convers Sports Initiatives, which bought Pompey earlier this year. Later, he told a journalist from a Lithuanian paper: ‘Antonov’s arrest - we are all very much affected and are trying to save the business.’ Antonov was arrested in London yesterday after a European arrest warrant was issued by the Lithuanian authorities after the collapse of the Snoras bank, in which he is a major shareholder.
