I’m pleased to read Ronny Deila ask for patience with Nadir Ciftci, the player needs a bit of support right now. Had Nadir knocked a goal or two in against our Icelandic opponents, Stjarnan, he would have been in a different zone at the moment, but he missed a few chances – not uncommon among players newly arrived at a club, and has since found opportunities limited by a domestic suspension.
Dundee United started training after Celtic, so Nadir was behind the curve during those games against Stjarnan. Without a full 90 minutes in a month, he will still have ground to make up when we resume after the international break, but he’ll hopefully feel the benefit of the work he’s put in on the training field in recent weeks.
Remember the Jock Stein Charity Match, which takes place at East End Park, Dunfermline on Sunday, kick-off 2pm. There’s a host of former players are playing, including Tom Boyd, Chris Sutton, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Neil Lennon and Stiliyan Petrov, while several from the Hollywood set are also playing, including James McAvoy, Martin Compston and Gianni Capaldi.
Funds from the event go to the Celtic and Dunfermline Foundations. You can pay at the gate to mark the 30th anniversary of Jock’s passing. There’s going to be a lot of memories on that field.
Three years after football fans in Scotland became experts in insolvency law, we now have to become familiar with Serious Organised Crime (I had to look up what it was today). The Scottish Government suggest it involves “drugs, human trafficking and fraud”.
Fraud is one of the small number of crimes where a life imprisonment sentence can be imposed on someone convicted of the crime in Scotland (it carries a maximum of 10 years in England). Even if you were 100% innocent of all charges and the possibility of contamination from dubious characters, the sheer scale of the matters in hand would be an enormous worry.
My hunch is that conspiracies and criminal plans to subvert information are difficult to maintain under the weight of these charges.
I’ve been looking all morning but cannot find what I’m searching for. Does anyone know of an enterprise which operates in the shadow of a Serious Organised Crime investigation which has been able to raise money which didn’t come from the proceeds of Serious Organised Crime?
I’m sure the audit will be just fine.

At the risk of being flamed for asking a non-Celtic related question…
Re: The recent enquiry from Raith Rovers to the Compliance Officer regarding release of player from the U-19s – does anyone have an idea if there is a precedent here? I seem to recall lots of occasions when players have “opted out” of international duty – sometimes on quite spurious sounding circumstances. Not sure if I remember players being abroad with the squad and then excusing themselves to play for their club.
BMCW…I might just do that, They can replace my Green Brigade ones……

I remember Lawrie Sanchez talking quite strongly about this. ‘Opting out’ is just a gentleman’s agreement between the player and the authority.
If, as a player, you’re called up and you fail to report you can be subject to a 3-match domestic ban.
So while that’s not directly applicable I suspect RR have some grounds for their complaint.

I’ll be having a few of them in a month’s time. And some rolls and skwerr anaw.
Btw,it was a compliment on a very witty post. Heyho…

IIRC,Rangers did the same thing last year,more than one player that time.

I think RR do have grounds for their query – if only only on the basis that the rules appear to be be getting applied evenly in this case. I’m wondering who in the SFA (other than Davie Weir) has been inolved in arriving at the decision. Seems like another example ofad-hoc exemptions being made to the benefit of one club?

You’ll deffo know better than me mate. If that’s the case then it really needs to be challenged?
What reason did the NEW club give for wanting their player released ?
Don’t know much about the NEW club but read online somewhere that he’s not a regular in the first team .
Bitton scored for Israel last night and Rogic got two for Australia. Hopefully all of our bhoys will come through the internationals safe and well.
Nowhere where in the world is poverty spreading faster then in capitalist countries.
A basic tenet of capitalism is the requirement of poverty the same can not be said about socialism.
It’s a lie being bought into by useful greedy idiots. The same idiots that declare the world is suffering from overpopulation and not enough resources to go around. While they demand more for less, the same people who demand their lifestyle is protected with economic and political imperialism and hell mend those born into poverty and lack of opportunity through birth.

Wee farmers market at Partick this morning
The. Skeerr are excellent
Maybe purchase couple of steaks on way back today
My word.
Praise for the psycho Gadaffi as well as fascist Cuba.
Coney, you don’t get it. Without freedom, a good education is a mockery.
Socialism is la la land world. Makes about as much economic sense as a Davie Dodds sex tape.
The working class continually reject it. Actually, the socialists on here also reject it as few, if any, live in a Socialist dump.
Back to football.

Not sure they gave any reason. They seem to have picked up bad habits from a club that used to exist…never apologise, never explain.

Something Fidel and Raul (Bruvvers nepotistic ) don`t need to do.
They`ve been capitalising since `59.
YES `59.
And now they`ve capitulated.

Cuba.
Do you think that people should be allowed to elect their political leaders?
Do you remember apartheid?
One man one vote was the cry.
What is wrong with Cubans that they are not permitted to vote for the political leaders of their choice?
Is that not a human right?
Castro was just another Latin American fascist leader.

Nominally socialist, actually the most brutal form of gangster capitalism innit.
But it’s still ‘socialist and democratic’. Says so on the label.
Therein lies the biggest problem with all systems. People. Especially those at the top!

Wonder if Craig Whyte regrets parting with that pound…
Noticed in the BDO statement t’uther day to Rangers creditors that The floating charge over Ibrox and Murray Park that was once the BoS then Lloyds’ has raised it’s head.
Of course CW always maintained he held this charge when Lloyds were paid off.
It seems to be contested by BDO.
It will be interesting to see how legitimate it is, it’s also interesting that it’s taken so long for the claim to be tabled.
But CW has no luck, no sooner has this claim being tabled, which, I would imagine, if upheld, could go a long way to assist Craig to untangle the web that the Rangers debacle got him into – Than he’s arrested – nae luck.
Hail Hail
Folks,
It looks like I have secured two tickets for Ajax away on 17 September for me and the young fella.
Grateful to BGBHOY from e-tims who is providing them.
However, I wouldn’t have been able to be in this position without the effort of our own BMCUWP. He put time and effort into this and went the extra mile.
Míle buiochas ó chroi leat. BMCUWP.
Also many thanks to Desertbhoy for alerting BMCUWP to the post.
It seems the ghuy from e-tims has a girl in Lurgan and I know the family.
There’s only one thing better than a Lurgan connection and that’s a CQN connection.

Bravo.
WOW,
And the USA can infiltrate and dictate to every freely elect govt in the world in the name of democracy and freedom, and if they don’t do exactly as they are told they are removed forcibly, yet the useful idiots babble shite about democracy only when it applies to countries who ensure their people are educated and fed as a priority.
The stupidity and hypocrisy of so e is breathtaking.

Jamesgang,
I really expected North Korea but as you say China is not a socialist country so irrespective of the claim it’s still wrong, hitler was leader of the nationalist socialist party, so that’s your argument it’s IMO dead in the water.
I think this is very good and deffo hits the mark for me

And we have the leadership for the Labour party just now, where there is a proper leftish bloke who has dreams of the party returning to some sort of Labour values, and the media are trying to destroy him.
Things like QE for the people, kick start the economy, take away more power from the banksters, and the powers don’t like it, go on yerself Jeremy.
There’s a thread on Celtic Newsnow, an extract from the Scotsman,
Which reads “crunch Bitton talks”
The article eludes to Bitton being unsettled and seeking an exit from the club this summer.
If it wasn’t for the fact this reporting is so predictable, I’d normally be livid.
It’s not enough for them that they had our prime asset Van Dijk sold literally the first 6 months of him arriving at Celtic. They now systematically move on to our next prized asset.
It’s buck’n hunbelievable !!

I think he said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
The USA is as good a place as any to see the truth of that, from their manifest destiny/how the west was won, to their right to bear arms, to their foreign policy incursions around the globe.
