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.

I’ve a funny feeling Guidetti could come to us, but won’t be available for Europe, honestly hope I’m way of the mark but weighing it up with all the press reports that seems to be the way it’s heading, as long as he is signed I’ve not got a problem with it, we go with what have, or he becomes an addition to what we have, both ways it’s a winner.

Surely if you have a whole load of private companies relying on the nhs budget to maintain their profits those companies would want the nhs budget to rise, not fall?
If I was running the show (hardly likely) and I wanted to cut budgets (even less likely) I’d keep the nhs in house, not privatise it any further. It would make imposing cuts more straightforward
In fact what I’d do is bring the privatised parts ie GPs (for whom I have as much regard as I do farmers) properly into the nhs ie employ the chancers directly.

Proudbhoy,
It’s very hard to produce even one first team player from the youth structure each season.
Feel we’re doing alright at the minute with Forrest, McGregor and Henderson all looking very promising!! Watt should have been on that list too but it didn’t quite workout.

‘Ernie
pure and simple – the privatisation of servies in NHS England is to reduce costs and the budget expenditure.’

Has nhs spending risen or fallen under the Tories?
Relying on nhs to make a profit. There’s the difference, all money in a public service goes on the public service, if delivered by a private company a portion of the money available from public funds for the service is skimmed off for profit. There are only a few options to open up the profit margin
I’m hearing rumours that Guidetti disappeared into a TV screen in PL’s office. Caused by a ghostly phenomenon the Germans refer to as a Farrygeist.
Different tack here, but got caught with this yesterday….
Why are Sevco still known as ‘rangers’ and play in the same colours after being liquidated?

We have limited attacking options
Hopefully Scepovic will do well …if he has an off period , gets injured …then without Guidetti we’re back to non scoring forwards

The NHS is taking on more and more private companies to operate services. These include virtually every section of it with the exception of (most of) the doctors and nurses in hospitals.
The budget is ring-fenced so there are no actual cuts. So nor will there be in Scotland.
But the money which is allocated for paying our health providers is skimmed off first by private companies,who have little experience in anything remotely connected to the service for which they charge.

Agreed.
But if the English go that way the Scots don’t have to.
And if the English do go that way it doesn’t necessarily mean budget cuts in England or Scotland.
As I said, if you have private companies making money out of a budget they want that budget to rise, not fall.

Celtic and St Johnstone both fined for fans displaying a Palestine flag.
Both are asking for further information, but £15,000 is a lot of money to a club like St Johnstone.
Have the governing body lost the plot? I’ve seen ‘Yes’ posters displayed at every ground in Scotland via pictures on social media, with the exception of Rangers, who instead had a huge banner and flag display to vote No (surprisingly!) yet no fines for these ‘political displays’????

Because the SFA allowed them to be called The Rangers. Not sure the colours thing is an issue.
But Rangers are still in the process of being liquidated.

Hope these One or Two New BIG Strikers will make Our Non Scoring WEE Strikers more Prolific in the Scoring Charts..

Personally I’m worried that Scepovic is a HUGE plant by the genius McCoist and all his little helpers.
Stefan Scepovic is an anagram of “Septic Sevco Fan”…

The companies also want to win the contract in the first place, so they offer it as cheaply as possible. That’s what presents the opportunity for budget cuts. If the Govt allocates £100Bn for the NHS but the contracts only add up to £90Bn, do you think the excess aside and maintain the budget or do they allocate it elsewhere and adjust the future budget.
Devolution, the Calum Commission, the Scotland Bill, the Edinburgh agreement, all of this and more you have because Westminster parties are scared of the SNP. If you vote No you massively change the balance of power and they will not only give you nothing but will probably take powers away from the Scottish Parliament.

The outsourcing in the NHS is step one. It paves the way for reduced services which leads to demand for more and then the request for payment on delivery. See dentistry for example. You drip drip drip this stuff until we all accept that this is how it is.
Privatisation means tax money going to the private sector to pay for jobs done by people on reduced wages, terms and conditions. More people in work claim supplementary benefitsy as a result of being underpayed. It looks like the private sectoTU r has grown and public sector has shrunk but in reality deck chairs have been rearranged and multi nationals are claiming state aid and robbing you of your tax money. Then they go out and accuse the govt of over taxing us all.
They have some neck on them. But they get away with it.
Keep public services in public hands. Every penny of tax money should stay in the system.
Just been reading over FIFA’s regulations regarding international transfers. I can’t see anything specific regarding players documents have to be filed for a certain time. I suspect the SFA have appealed using FIFA’s Dispute Resolution Chamber process which states decisions can take up to 30 days to process.
Boring stuff but fascinating
