There are parallels between Salzburg and Celtic. After an outstanding season Salzburg lost their coach, Roger Schmidt, in May to Bayer Leverkusen, appointing Adolf Hutter (commentators beware), who previously managed Austrian Bundesliga club Grodig and is largely unknown outside Austria.
Unlike Ronny Deila, Hutter has not tried to change Salzburg’s system, but the period of transformation has been blamed for Salzburg failing to overcome Malmo in the Champions League play-off round (Malmo taxed Juventus in Turin last night before two second half Tevez goals settled things). New instructions, new training techniques and, in some cases, new personnel present challenges.
Ronny has had a few false starts but the return of Scott Brown at the weekend, the return to form of Kris Commons, who will surely start, and the addition of Scepovic, Tonev and Wakaso to the squad give reason for confidence.

Voting YES!
I can understand why mafia loving Celtic supporters would prefer the choice of corporate greed and selfishness and leave thoughts of caring and helpfulness for kneeling down during mass.
The more enlightened consider it’s better to have that feeling of peace 24 hrs a day rather than only for 10 minutes once a Sunday.
Tomorrow’s decision will be life changing in a good way, money (or currency as is the BT buzzword goes) is a man-made construct designed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer whereas wellbeing occurs spontaneously and often in the most unlikely circumstances.
I’ll leave you with the idea that when the C4 team chose a place to go to celebrate the union was, the Louden Tavern.
I ask you, is there a more backward place in Scotland?
Don’t make the same mistake twice!
Every vote counts so get off your arse and vote YES!
Mind I said I only got crap spam?
Here’s a corker. Not from either side of the referendum debate I hasten to add!!!
Over to you ACGR! Pull his chain!!

I am David Ellis Head of Inspection Unit United Nations Inspection Agency in Harts field-Jackson International Airport Atlanta, Georgia.
During our investigation, I discovered An abandoned shipment through a Diplomat from United Kingdom which was transferred from JF Kennedy Airport To our facility here in Atlanta, and when scanned it revealed an undisclosed sum of money in 2 Metal Trunk Boxes weighing approximately 110kg each.
The consignment was abandoned because the Content was not properly declared by the consignee as money rather it was declared as personal Effect/classified document to either avoid diversion by the Shipping Agent or confiscation by the relevant authorities. The diplomat’s inability to pay for Non Inspection fees among other things are the reason why the consignment is delayed and abandoned.
By my assessment, each of the boxes contains about $4M or more.They are still left in the airport storage facility till today. The Consignments like I said are two metal trunk boxes weighing about 110kg each (Internal dimension: W61 x H156 x D73 (cm) effective Capacity: 680 L) Approximately.
The details of the consignment including your name and email on the official document from United Nations’ office in London where the shipment was tagged as personal effects/classified document is still available with us. As it stands now, you have to reconfirm your Full name, Phone Number, full address so I can cross-check and see if it corresponds with the one on the official documents. It is now left to you to decide if you still need the consignment or allow us repatriate it back to UK (place of origin) as we were instructed.

Like I did say again, the shipper abandoned it and ran away most importantly because he gave a false declaration, he could not pay for the yellow tag, he could not secure a valid non inspection document(s), etc. I am ready to assist you in any way I can for you to get back this packages provided you will also give me something out of it (financial gratification).
You can either come in person, or you engage the services of a secure shipping/delivery Company/agent that will provide the necessary security That is required to deliver the package to your doorstep or the destination of your choice. I need all the guarantee that I can get from you before I can get involved in this project.
Best Regards,
David Ellis
INSPECTION OFFICER

“For me, and I’m being honest here – the ‘EU will reject you’ message is utter scaremongering, and really far removed from reality.”
Luxcelt,
I’m certainly no expert on this subject but could you imagine the uproar should someone from the Eu say…
‘Scotland? Oh yes. We’ll take them in a minute. Queue jump right to the front.”
The guys involved have to be at least seen to be earning their dosh ;)

Ask the CFC supporters who have been filmed, followed, harassed, arrested and taken before courts at huge public expense for doing what exactly?
Are they criminals in your eyes?
Do they deserve their treatment in your eyes?
Do they not somehow fit in to the “one Scotland – many cultures” vision of the Nats?
Scotland is a small enough country already without the people becoming more insular and inward looking!
That’s without the huge additional cost of setting up a new army, navy, civil service, embassies etc
Of course that will provide lots of jobs for some lucky people!

Dude it’s not a queue for the disco!!! We’re not shuffling up the inside hoping that North Korea and Kazakhstan don’t notice!!!!

Has anyone changed their mind on how to vote because of the constant propaganda on here ??
I enjoyed chatting about the football last night….made a refreshing change …
Polling stations due to open in about 12 hours.
Campaign becoming increasingly nasty.
Be nice!

Taking the power into our own hands (democracy) has the UK establishment running scared. They have pulled out all the stops to prevent this happening .
Russell Brand “dissects” Camerons scare-mongering tactics.
We really must to grab this chance .

Idiotic statement

‘They were new applicants. You just don’t want to get it, do you?’
Perhaps I am missing something. Please explain as to why Scotland will not be new applicants?
Before replying have a read of part of Kitalba’s post below. Perhaps it may explain our situation in the event of a vote for Independence tomorrow.

If Scotland leaves the Union it is out of both unions. It will have to apply for EU membership”

from last page.
Is it your belief that Ireland made a mistake in leaving the union or have I picked you up wrong on the Free State bit
That’s me back home in BANNOCKBURN, from Ballymena, where I was confused
They had all the Union flags with Scotland and NI flags oot for me – why ?
Great big Saltire above the battlefield, so we’ve won :-)
YES
Jamesgang,
It is a queue.
And it’s not disco…it’s a discotheque:)
The Catalan question will cause an independent Scotland problems in joining EU
Scotland grow a pair and vote Yes ✊
croppybhoy
if you wish to side with the patrons of the Louden Tavern it’s your call.
Do you think you’re better together with them?
Hopefully, they’ll all flit and move to Wales as they’ve suggested
Feels like Hogmanay

Of course there will be costs involved in setting up a new country if it happens.
Not sure there is need to spend a great deal, if anything on the military though. Where would the threat come from?
Either way, it will be over tomorrow and we’ll see what happens. You can use your vote like everyone else and hope you get what you want.
Lennybhoy…Supporting the DAM 5 and CFC until I die
can you check my message to him foot of page 1 today re MADRID V BARCA tickets.
not good news unless he wins lottery tonight,his last chance if SCOTLAND votes YES.
Just think..we could wake up on Friday unBritish (official )
any lurking huns got a cauld sweat on ?
“Has anyone changed their mind on how to vote because of the constant propaganda on here ??”
Aye me. Ernie and Neganon have got right on my breests so I’m a YES.
I’m kidding. But I must admit something moonbeams said drew me to my conclusion.
Don’t listen to yes. Don’t listen to no. Don’t listen to any single political party.
Opinions are changeable and biased but all the facts are out there.

I see what you mean, but we wouldn’t really be jumping the queue – we are already members. Can you imagine that they announced that your (and my) EU citizenship was being revoked? It’s utter nonsense! We could both claim that we had no wish to leave the Uk, and immediately thousands (even millions) of people could challenge through the courts.
The EU doesn’t want to go near this legal minefield (ie revoking the citizenship of individuals). the Commission (based here in Luxembourg) have already stated that arguments for accelerated re-entry, based on Scots having already been EU citizens do carry a certain amount of weight. Barosso is gone, and while Juncker won’t tear up the rule book, like I said – we’ll be in the UK anyway for the next 3 or 4 years, and clearly by then we can have engineered our passage into the EU.
Additionally – please note this: Article 20 clearly states:
“”Citizenship of the Union is hereby established. Every person holding the nationality of a Member State shall be a citizen of the Union. Citizenship of the Union shall be additional to and not replace national citizenship.””
All Scots hold British nationality at the moment. We are not required to give that up. Ther UK permits dual nationality, and so clearly people can remain British and therefore retain their EU passport, a bit like how thousands of australians etc get a UK (or Greek, or Dutch etc) passport and work freely throughout Europe.
Seriously if Scotland is outside of the EU, it will be for a very short period indeed, and even then, it is highly unlikely that any of it’s citizens will have their citizenship lost or revoked!
I can`t remember verbatim but Reporting Scotland Sport said something like: Collins says Celtic target is to win the Europa League. A few seconds later, we hear from the bold John: If you were to ask me, I`d say we would love to go all the way to the Final but there are many very good teams who would also love would love to win it. Anyone would.
Not quite the same!

You are clutching at straws in trying to lay the blame for the duplicity of the SFA at the door of the SNP.
As far as I can see most of the SFA chicanery re withholding info from Nimmo Smith, the improper granting of UEFA licences to Rangers, not to mention the establishment of EBTs at Rangers and Hearts, has been driven by a certain Campbell Ogilvie.
The same Campbell Ogilvie who was again elected unopposed for SFA office in 2013 while the Celtic board kept quiet and so granted their approval that the likes of Ogilvie are fit to run our game.
The SNP can’t be blamed for SFA corruption. But in allowing ogilvies re election the Celtic board are complicit.

“Where would the threat come from?”

That reminds me of a Jimmy Carr (I think) joke about Simon Cowell.
Simon Cowell spends a half a million pounds a year on security….
….wouldn’t it be cheaper if he thought of being a little less of a c#@t?

Swerve carefully. We don’t want to lose any!!!

The whole EU business is a nonsense.
If Belgium was to split into Flanders and Wallonia, and Belgium had to re-apply for EU membership it would make every person working in Brussels for the EU have to re-apply for membership into their own parliament.
Similarly, it would have to re-join NATO even though NATO’s HQ is in Brussels.
The level of debate on these pages and by the Bitter Together campaign has been shameful and is a damning indictment on the level of education of some people to fall for their nonsense.
Rozzers already investigating ‘possible irregularities’ with some postal votes.
