The '''2007-08 [[Iraq Super League]] season''' started on 26 November 2007 and ended on 24 August 2008. The season saw [[Arbil FC|Arbil]] crowned as champions.
The following is a list of the chiefs of the [[Clan Fraser]], in chronological order. The Chiefs of Clan Fraser often use the [[Scottish Gaelic language|Gaelic]] [[patronym]] '''MacShimidh''', meaning Son of Simon. Simon is the favoured family name for the Chiefs of Clan Fraser. They are often numbered ''1st MacShimidh, 2nd MacShimidh, 3rd MachSimidh,'' etc. There is some debate on where exactly the numbering should start, as Fraser ties to Lovat land go back at least as far as 1253. The line does not necessarily represent a direct line of descent, though most Chiefs took on their responsibility upon the death of their father.


For security reasons the league was divided into three groups; Baghdad, North and South, The top six clubs from the Baghdad group and the top four clubs from the North and South groups qualified for the Elite Stage. The Elite Stage consisted of three groups, from which the winners and one runner-up qualified for the Golden Stage, a knockout tournament. The Golden Stage matches were held in [[Al-Shaab Stadium]] in [[Baghdad]].

===The Primary Stage Formation===
<!-- Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Saltoun Lovat.jpg|thumb|Flora Fraser, 21st Lady Saltoun, and Simon Fraser, 18th Lord Lovat together at Castle Fraser, during the [[1997]] Clan Gathering]] -->
* 30 Clubs in 3 divisions: Baghdad (12), North (9) and South (9).
On [[May 1]], [[1984]], by [[decree]] of the [[Lyon Court|Court]] of the [[Lord Lyon]], the [[Flora Fraser, 21st Lady Saltoun|21st Lady Saltoun]] was made'' "Chief of the name and arms of the whole Clan Fraser"''. It should be noted, that the Lord Lyon did not grant the Chiefship of the Clan Fraser, simply a description of "Chief of the name and arms." The Lord Lyon does not have power over the Chiefship of a Highland Clan. <ref>[http://www.heraldica.org/topics/britain/lyondocs.htm#Maclean%20of%20Ardgour Maclean of Ardgour v. Maclean]
* 14 Teams qualify to the '''Elite stage''': Baghdad (6), North (4) and South (4).
1941 S.C. 613 from Documents of the Lord Lyon, from Heraldica.org</ref> Since this decree, there has been much confusion as to the Chiefship of the Clan Fraser.
* 7 Teams relegate to the lower Division: Baghdad (3), North (2) and South (2).
*[[Mosul FC|Mosul]] withdrew from the North division.


=== The Primary Stage Clubs ===
When Simon the Pater's descendants first acquired the Lovat lands of the Ard, in the [[Scottish Highlands|Highlands]], they took to the [[Gaels|Gaelic]] customs of the area. This included everything from [[Scottish Gaelic language|language]], ways of [[Gaelic warfare|warfare]], to [[Gaelic Clothing and Fashion|clothing and fashion]], even giving their children Gaelic names. By the time Simon's son came of age to lead the family, he was deemed to be the 1st Chief of Clan Fraser, the MacShimidh.<ref name=FraserCal>[http://www.fraserclan-cal.net/philorth.html "The Frasers of Philorth, Now Saltoun"] from the Clan Fraser Association for California</ref>

Frasers who stayed in the [[Scottish lowlands|Lowlands]], however, maintained [[Teutonic]] ([[Germanic peoples|Germanic]]), or Norman culture. They became a very respectable and well-to-do family, but stayed well out of Clan affairs. They took no part in Clan warfare, spoke [[Scots Language|Scots]], and dressed like Lowlanders.<ref name=FraserCal/>

According to [[Alexander Fraser, 18th Lord Saltoun|Alexander Fraser]], 18th [[Lord Saltoun]], his family ''"continued to have their principal seat in the Lowlands, and those of the surname who remained in that section of Scotland, where Teutonic institutions prevailed, and whence the patriarchal system of Clans and Clanships had long been banished, had nothing to do with the origin or formation of the Highland Clan, and never belonged to it."''<ref name=FraserCal/>


{{Image label small|x=0.33|y=0.021|scale={{{width|600}}}|text=<font color="#F09100">[[Duhok FC|Duhok]]</font>}}
According to the [[Flora Fraser, 21st Lady Saltoun|Lady Saltoun]], his descendant,
{{Image label small|x=0.33|y=0.035|scale={{{width|600}}}|text=<font color="#F09100">[[Peris FC|Peris]]</font>}}
''"The [[Frasers of Philorth]], [[Lord Saltoun|the Lords Saltoun]], being the senior line, are Chiefs of the name of Fraser, although a [[Scottish lowlands|lowland]] family. [[Simon Fraser, 18th Lord Lovat|Lord Lovat]] is Chief of the very numerous [[Scottish highlands|Highland]] Clan Fraser of Lovat, based in [[Inverness-shire]]."'' <ref name=fraserchief>[http://www.fraserchief.co.uk/twochiefs.html Two Chiefs] from FraserChief, the website of the Lady Saltoun</ref>
{{Image label small|x=0.33|y=0.051|scale={{{width|600}}}|text=<font color="#F09100">[[Zakho FC|Zaxo]]</font>}}


{{Image label small|x=0.425|y=0.105|scale={{{width|600}}}|text=<font color="#F09100">[[Arbil FC|Arbil]]</font>}}
It should be noted that the Lady Saltoun is not a descendant of the Shimidh, the Simon from whom the Clan Fraser traces its lineage. As explained elsewhere, she is descended from the Shimidh's older brother. So, though the Lord Lovat is still the Chieftain of Clan Fraser, the MacShimidh, the Lord Lyon has made official the seniority of the Lady Saltoun's line.


{{Image label small|x=0.33|y=0.105|scale={{{width|600}}}|text=<font color="#F09100">[[Mosul FC|Mosul]]</font>}}
The selection of a clan chieftain is traditionally very different than the Teutonic/Norman system of inherited titles. A Clan would elect and follow whatever chief it chose. Unfortunately, from a history student's perspective, in the case of the Clan Fraser, this decree has muddied the waters a bit, regarding both what the Clan truly is and has been.<ref name=FraserCal/> Frasers differ on the matter, but most Lovats still regard the Lord Lovat as their chief, while many lowland Frasers, who have latched on to the romanticised view of Clans and the Highlands, are happy to have found a way to link themselves to Highland culture. There is, of course, some cross-over of opinions, and Frasers tend to respect each other as fellow Frasers, regardless of where they come from.

The 2007-08 Iraq Super League season started on 26 November 2007 and ended on 24 August 2008. The season saw Arbil crowned as champions.

For security reasons the league was divided into three groups; Baghdad, North and South, The top six clubs from the Baghdad group and the top four clubs from the North and South groups qualified for the Elite Stage. The Elite Stage consisted of three groups, from which the winners and one runner-up qualified for the Golden Stage, a knockout tournament. The Golden Stage matches were held in Al-Shaab Stadium in Baghdad.

The champions and runners-up (Al-Zawraa) qualified for the 2009 AFC Cup (Iraq is excluded from the AFC Champions League due to not fulfilling the AFC demand of having a fully-professional league), while third-placed Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya qualified for the 2008-09 Arab Champions League.
