Celtic await ratification of Guidetti’s transfer by the SFA. The player travelled to Glasgow yesterday afternoon and quickly concluded a deal with Celtic, but it took until late in the evening before paperwork arrived from Manchester.
Aware of the delay, Celtic applied to the SFA for an extension. The SFA authorised the extension and subsequently received all relevant paperwork, Celtic believed they were over the line, but I understand we are in new territory with respect to extensions, so the SFA have asked Fifa for guidance.
Paperwork was submitted considerably before Manchester United completed the 2am signing of Radamel Falcao, so there is reason for hope, but it’s not clear in Glasgow what discretion the FA used to register Falcao. The same may or may not be available to the SFA.
There are also time constraints, player lists for Uefa group stage competitions need to be completed by 23:00 tonight, and we can’t add the player until Fifa issue guidance to the SFA.
If Celtic wanted a more complicated transfer than Guidetti they surely found it with our Serbian striker, Stefan Scepovic. Transfers involving influences across multiple countries are often difficult……
One thing Celtic are clear about is the endurance of the player, who had to sit through difficult hours in order to make the deal happen. He kept his nerve as others tried to sell him to Getafe – who were under no Financial Fair Play restrictions.
We’ll do a wrap-up of the window tomorrow.

With respect, you know nothing about the farming community and I have been part of it for nearly 30 years. Ask BT. And yes, I farm poultry and get no subsidies whatsoever and have never requested them either. So get you facts correct. There are more farmers went out of business in this area than there are now farming. Work that out re your supposed subsidies. You really have not a clue on this subject.

Yes I was digging at this apparent cleaning living politician but not for the Clutha incident.
I also respect your views more than any politician despite you being an engineer :-)
But again it is all down to choice, so I will not force my views on you. Mind for this only time I hope your team looses in this instance.
What turned me from “no” from “yes” was the fear factor portrayed by the No campaign and my many English friends who suggested that we were heavily subsidised and should remain part of the UK in the same breath. Why? No logic! I am sure there are equal arguments the other way!
You make a lot of statements, not backed by any evidence dare I say but by conjecture and personal view I suspect, which is allowed. Just like the Yes campaign you could argue. :-) I not sure who you are trying to convince, but I totally respect your viewpoint.
Anyway, it will be all over very soon.
Good Luck and HH for a treble

All this yes/no stuff is all Labours fault.
You wait 18 bloody years to get rid of the bloody Tories and what do you get…bloody Labour Tories.
If it turns out to be yes its Labour fault because it will be DISENFRANCHISED Labour voters who will swing it.
HH
Yes or No.
I have lived in Canada for a number of years and we had our crap with the Quebec mob. I told everyone of them that I met…..I have no respect for you…..if you want it so bad, go arm yourself and fight for it. Of course no one ever did.
Same story in Scotland……”paper separatists”. Nothing like 1916……they were men, not cowards.
Bunch of nonsense…….so why don’t you all stop moaning…..and have another drink.
Goodnight to all

“Anyone else but Rony”???
Surely not!!!!

Syd Negakev, like you I’m finding the indy banter entertaining at times and OTT at others. I said a long time ago that I couldn’t give a shit what people on here post in trying to convince others to change. Some of the stuff today has been truly desperate.
I’ve already voted and confirmed my vote has landed, so I’m done and will await the outcome.
Now, a Celtic question. Where in Romania are this team from that we play next Thursday? I’m in Romania on business and will be in Bucharest on the Thursday night. Knowing my luck, they’ll come from the place in the boondocks I’ll be mid week:_((
I’ll get to see it on telly at worst.

Blimey!

At one time you would have been able to find out how much public subsidy each of those farmers was receiving.
The NFU soon put a stop to that.

I would still give him time, although Sundays performance was very worrying, as was Ronnys pre match antics, now the transfer window is over and the C/L qualifiers are over i hope he settles down to change through evolution taking a squad with him.

Great innings tonight Ernie, well done. Your efforts must’ve alienated one or ten more into the YES camp.
Especially liked how you avoided responding earlier.
Don’t worry I’ll repost it tomorrow……………remember Billybhoy05’s treatment ?
Night.

I probably may have stirred things up a bit ! Funny……supposed to be Celtic site. Oh well
Enjoy and Keep The Faith

I told you my advice to Peter if he wanted a cheaper and more effective option than Ronny would be to appoint a cardboad cut out of Ron Atkinson and pipe in tapes of some american self help guru type charlatan into the dressing room before games
Anyway all joking aside,I have made my bed firmly in the Ronny Out camp and have to stick with that
I genuinely hope to be proven wrong but I don think Celtic will win anything this year
That wont be Ronnys fault,he is no good but he should never have been given the job

It is not only Jim Murphy, who incidentally is not the leader of the No campaign, the personal attacks seems to be against any No campaigner. ( Predominately Labour ones )
Is it fear, desperation or guilt that many Yes supporters now loath the labour party they once supported.?
And this is positive campaigning ?

weefra, you made me chuckle ther with your reply to EL. Had a funny moment yesterday coming back from Aberdeen.
I live in Angus and pretty much all the farmers have their “no thanks” signs stuck on the side of hay bales or tattie crates. My boy commented that all the farmers were no voters. Anyway, coming home from Aberdeen there’s a farm between Brechin and Arbroath and the farmer has gone to town on his yes display. He’s erected a massive H beam across two supports and his beam has two flagpoles flying saltires with a massive yes banner in between.
Well, it made me laugh as I was stuck behind a f***ing combine doing about 3 mph for twenty minutes. Thing is if I’d been doing my normal speed I’d have missed it.
Mon ra combines:_)
Liked that wee story. If anyone, including ernie, had bothered to buy the Scottish Farmer, they would see that the SFU is voting “yes” because of the discrepancy between the english and Scottish Farmers. Ernies favourites are getting a much better deal than his ” beloved” Scottish ones are. Scottish Farmers get €130 less per hectare per annum than our english counterparts. Even the ROI get €100 more than Scottish Farmers. Incidentally, the subsidy comes from the EU so wit is this bit about WM subsidising farmers. Wm still subsidises the HOL. And god bless them all ernie. Cot time, farming tomorrow, you can lie long ernie. Night Night Timland. KTF.

Yes farmers go out of business. They’re taken over by other farmers. How much subsidy did UK farmers receive last year?
Ernie, the yes farmer must be getting a massive subsidy given the magnitude of his display. That’s one big fekin H beam he’s installed. I’s quite a display. If I wasn’t a luddite I’d take a picture and post it on here. Even you’d be proud of his ingenuity and engineering skills.
As I say, I’ve voted. I voted the way I wanted to vote. Nothing on here could have begun to convince me otherwise.
My die is cast. BTW, I voted for the other guy:-)

I always imagine Ernie’s posts in the voice of George Galloway.
You know it makes sense ;-}
Ernie, I admire your indefatigablity!

Impeccable timing.

The farmer and the cowman should be friends.
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends.
One man likes to push a plough, the other likes to chase a cow,
But that’s no reason why they cain’t be friends.
TBJ, crc, and St. Stiv’s
You know I love you all as fellow Celts and Jim Murphy is a big enough politician to take all the jibes that are going.
But I do find it cowardly to insinuate that there are stories out there which could damage Jim Murphy but you are just refusing to mention them. I find that unfair on a number of levels. You can have a difference of opinion about No voters and he’s fair game for his position on Iraq and Trident and Welfare cuts and whatever else is political.
The fact is that he did not do a lot of publicity hounding after the Clutha incident. He did not pound the TV studios and phone paper editors with his story of “I was there- saving people”. In fact there have been more mentions of his appearance there from political opponents, sneering at it, than there have been from Jim Murphy himself, the Labour Party or the No campaign. His story of being there does not appear on any literature from the No people and he is not making it an issue in the campaign.
So I find it tawdry to drag that in and sneer at it. And then to add a hint, crc, that there is some unclean living scandal, without specifying it, presumably for fear of litigation (on grounds of accuracy??), is pretty nasty personal politics.
You guys usually are, and should be better than that. You let yourselves down there.
Attack Jim Murphy the politician. Attack the personal qualities that you have seen and witnessed and can name without contradiction. But do not smear with hinted but unsaid inuendo. If that was done to people on your side, I think you would be quick to call it unfair.
I understand that people are passionate about the referendum. I agree that Nu-Labour politicians deserve policy attacks.
But play the ball, please.

‘Incidentally, the subsidy comes from the EU’
No. The subsidy comes from the taxpayer.
Why is the taxpayer expected to subsidise farmers?

My last word on it, I lease this property from the ex farmer who now drives busses, seriously. So now I know you have no idea what you are talking about. Goodnight.

.LET the farmer, so far as I am concerned, be damned forevermore. To Hell with him, and bad luck to him. He is a tedious fraud and ignoramus, a cheap rogue and hypocrite, the eternal Jack of the human pack. He deserves all that he ever suffers under our economic system, and more. Any city man, not insane, who sheds tears for him is shedding tears of the crocodile.
No more grasping, selfish and dishonest mammal, indeed, is known to students of the Anthropoidea. When the going is good for him he robs the rest of us up to the extreme limit of our endurance; when the going is bad be comes bawling for help out of the public till. Has anyone ever heard of a farmer making any sacrifice of his own interests, however slight, to the common good? Has anyone ever heard of a farmer practising or advocating any political idea that was not absolutely self-seeking–that was not, in fact, deliberately designed to loot the rest of us to his gain? Greenbackism, free silver, the government guarantee of prices, bonuses, all the complex fiscal imbecilities of the cow State John Baptists–these are the contributions of the virtuous husbandmen to American political theory. There has never been a time, in good seasons or bad, when his hands were not itching for more; there has never been a time when he was not ready to support any charlatan, however grotesque, who promised to get it for him. Only one issue ever fetches him, and that is the issue of his own profit. He must be promised something definite and valuable, to be paid to him alone, or he is off after some other mountebank. He simply cannot imagine himself as a citizen of a commonwealth, in duty bound to give as well as take; he can imagine himself only as getting all and giving nothing.
Yet we are asked to venerate this prehensile moron as the Ur-burgher, the citizen par excellence, the foundation-stone of the state! And why? Because he produces something that all of us must have–that we must get somehow on penalty of death. And how do we get it from him? By submitting helplessly to his unconscionable blackmailing by paying him, not under any rule of reason, but in proportion to his roguery and incompetence, and hence to the direness of our need. I doubt that the human race, as a whole, would submit to that sort of high-jacking, year in and year out, from any other necessary class of men. But the farmers carry it on incessantly, without challenge or reprisal, and the only thing that keeps them from reducing us, at intervals, to actual famine is their own imbecile knavery. They are all willing and eager to pillage us by starving us, but they can’t do it because they can’t resist attempts to swindle each other. Recall, for example, the case of the cottongrowers in the South. Back in the 1920’s they agreed among themselves to cut down the cotton acreage in order to inflate the price–and instantly every party to the agreement began planting more cotton in order to profit by the abstinence of his neighbors. That abstinence being wholly imaginary, the price of cotton fell instead of going up –and then the entire pack of scoundrels began demanding assistance from the national treasury–in brief, began demanding that the rest of us indemnify them for the failure of their plot to blackmail us.
The same demand is made sempiternally by the wheat farmers of the Middle West. It is the theory of the zanies who perform at Washington that a grower of wheat devotes himself to that banal art in a philanthropic and patriotic spirit–that he plants and harvests his crop in order that the folks of the cities may not go without bread. It is the plain fact that he raises wheat because it takes less labor than any other crop–because it enables him, after working no more than sixty days a year, to loaf the rest of the twelve months. If wheat-raising could be taken out of the hands of such lazy fellahin and organized as the production of iron or cement is organized, the price might be reduced by two-thirds, and still leave a large profit for entrepreneurs. But what would become of the farmers? Well, what rational man gives a hoot? If wheat went to $10 a bushel tomorrow, and all the workmen of the cities became slaves in name as well as in fact, no farmer in this grand land of freedom would consent voluntarily to a reduction of as much as 1/8 of a cent a bushel. “The greatest wolves,” said E. W. Howe, a graduate of the farm, “are the farmers who bring produce to town to sell.” Wolves? Let us not insult Canis lupus I move the substitution of Hyæna hyæna.
