Good riddance to bad rubbish!

The Russian former chairman of Portsmouth football club is to be extradited to Lithuania to face charges over an alleged £402million fraud. Vladimir Antonov, 37, and his associate, Lithuanian businessman Raimondas Baranauskas, 56, controlled Bank Snoras, with offices in Lombard Street in the City. In 2009 I revealed that the City watchdog at the time, the Financial Services Authority, was fighting hard to keep Bank Snoras out of London after finding it falsely claimed to protect deposits. But the bank invoked a European Union rule that says if an institution is licensed by one EU regulator, then other EU countries must let it in. The bank was seized by the Lithuanian government in 2011 after its banking regulator found a huge black hole in its assets, and the FSA revoked its UK licence. On Monday, a judge at Westminster Magistrates’ Court rejected claims that the case was politically motivated and he ordered the bosses’ extradition.

More like banana republic.

I would just like to give Adkins all of my best wishes. He gave me probably not far off my best 3 years as a saints supporter. Think he is a great guy and Reading are very lucky to have him. Never had any feelings for Reading [although they got on my nerves a bit last season] but I will now be looking at Reading results with great interest while he is involved. I would love now to see Reading stay up as long as it is not at our expense. 100% want us to win when we play them the game after next but that said, if he won every other game I for one would not begrudge him that. Well said, good luck to him.

A great role model for the younger players, a masterclass in leading the line and teeing up other players.

Yes victim of his own success, I for one have certainly enjoyed the ride over the past 2 1/2 years, quality entertaining football, good luck to him.

one = won

Why is the player getting blamed for the ref`s poor decision, if JRod was a more cynical player he would have left his foot in, took the pain, and one the penalty fair and square, think the point that Nigel is making that the intent was there. Great day out, terrific support.

Hi Shroppie, bright and sunny here in Shifnal!!

Top man, right man at the right time.
