Surprised we got two in yesterday, as Manchester City under-grad, Jason Denayer, signed for a year-long loan last night. The 19-year-old has yet to play first team football so is likely to be considered as backup at Celtic, though reports are promising.
Not surprised that Legia Warsaw have lodged an appeal to Uefa to be re-instated into the Champions League, they have to try everything possible. It has not been confirmed what ground Legia have appealed on, however, at the weekend, Polish FA chief exec, Zbigniew Boniek, suggested an appeal would be made on two grounds:
That only one member of the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body was at the hearing to made the decision, and
That Legia were not given the chance to make a submission to the Body.
There are 10 members of the Disciplinary Body and rules state that decisions require the attendance of at least three, unless the case is “urgent”, when a decision can be taken by one member. To defend their process, Uefa need to insist that the circumstances were urgent, probably citing the Champions League play-off draw, which was due to take place two hours later.
While the Disciplinary Body allow submissions to be made prior to a hearing, Article 34 authorises the Body to undertake a hearing without submissions and “in the absence of one or all of the parties”.
In the unlikely event Legia won an appeal on procedural grounds, a subsequent hearing, perhaps with more Disciplinary Body members in attendance, would take place, and would inevitably reach the same conclusion.
Article 21, paragraph 2, of the Uefa Disciplinary Regulations state, “A match is declared forfeit if a player who has been suspended following a disciplinary decision participates in the match.” There is no ambiguity or lateral for the Disciplinary Body to exercise a different reprimand.
Legia’s appeals can carry on all the way to the Court of Arbitration for Sport but Celtic will not be involved in any future issues. NK Maribor represent a vastly, vastly, greater risk to their Champions League aspirations.

Corkcelt?
Seriously?
13k a week – think you might be having a wee dig at someone/thing but not sure what..?!

certainly a different vis than i used to read when I was a lad…
wee BGFC, enjoy…
There is absolutely no chance of UEFA reversing their decision on appeal. It would set a very dangerous precedent.
The most they could do is change their rules to make forfeiture optional rather than mandatory, but they could not apply the change retrospectively.
I can’t see that happening though. The mandatory punishment was obviously put in place to discourage teams from fielding suspended players, unwittingly or otherwise. Nobody has ever complained about the rule, until now, with emphasis being placed on the 6-1 aggregate scoreline, but that is surely irrelevant.
Bring on the Maribor.
Is it conceivable the negatonians on here will now accept ” the market we are working in” ? ……. eh, what do you mean, don’t be silly …!!!! ….it’s staring them right in the face …!!!!!
You can only be positive if your ‘cup is half full’ ……. really looking forward to the game tonight … hope our 3 new signings get a run-out at some stage….

The longer it takes for a response the better from our point of view.
Less likely to overturn and force rearrangements for the “innocent ” clubs , in which I include ourselves, of course.
TD –
I don’t know why you are having a go at Kevtic. His comment was not negative. As far as I can see all he is saying is that we have 2 tricky opening league games ahead of us.
Lighten up mhan.
Good wind up with the Tonev’s mother story…..obviously à noise up,
Somebody tell me Its à joke.

Tny’s no had his roll ‘n’ skwerr yet – leave him alane! :-)))
I should add that I agree that Kevtic is simply making a realistic assessment of our forthcoming fixtures. They are tricky but I would expect to win them. I will be interested to see if we play the same formation and -ahem!- “style” as we have to date. I would hope that RD would revert to a style that matches the limitations of the squad he inherited. Evolution not revolution.

Tommy Wright a potential Celtic manager. I think thats very unlikely. There was a bit about him in the cup final build-up. He was sitting with some mates in a bar-club in Norn Iron which was be-decked with loyalist flags. He does come across as a decent enough guy though.

Deary me.
When Tonev arrived for his medical, he would have advised the club that he is carrying a slight knock. This would have been confirmed by the medical. It is not a deal-breaker.
He had to be signed on Monday to beat the CL play-off deadline so no reason to pull back because of a slight injury that would clear up in no time.
He’s not going to be out for 6 months because of it.
Language is a massive factor in manipulating people into a certain way of thinking. Perhaps instead of Happy Clappers and Mineshafters, we should consider the following:
Negative:positive;
Angry: Calm;
Childish: Adult;
Reactionary: Considered;
Gullible:Enquiring.

I see you feel the need to continue besmirching other peoples opinions because you deem them to be more negative than yours.
If everyone else similarly gave in to their urges and commented every time other posters offered their opinion which was either overly positive or negative then their own – this blog would die within days.
Give it a rest eh, if you are indeed a glass half full kind of guy – I think you may have forgotten to take your happy tablets this morning :)

Start of league campaign. Two difficult fixtures to begin with for Ronnie Delia.
First the Scottish Cup holders. Tommy Wright is a very decent manager (maybe the best in Scotland), I wouldn’t have been disappointed if he had been given the Celtic job having seen some of the names we were linked with.
Then Dundee United who on their day are the second best team in the country and have a promising manager.

Tom McGlaughlin, I think he was saying a wee bit more than two tough games ahead, well that’s the way I read it, and I’m sure Kev is a big boy and can look after himself, but have another look I case I am missing something, doubt it.
Good Morning Bhoys and Ghirls I am looking forward to the game tonight it should give us a measure of where Rony and JC are with the team. H.H.
Gorgeous George Galloway has the sharp wit only a tim could have. That is a belter.
Tom McLaughlin
Definitely reads like kevtic is saying we have two difficult fixtures ahead. Hard to disagree

Celtic are looking at spending upwards of £3.5m on their CL “wildcard” but are awaiting final result of Legia appeal before committing to it

What about the positvely negative posters who react angrily but in a calm measured way with instinct is react in a considered fashion from childhood through to adulthood enquiring about the gullible? What do we call them?
MWD
Could Tonev’s maw not help out at stan’s mates burger van to let the wee fella way to the fitba?
Helmski,
It isn’t too sharp these days. Georgybhoy has repeated that line many times. I used to listen to his entertaining radio show.
Tom McLaughlin
Sorry Tom, that should have been to tonydonnelly. Thats what early morning beers do for ye
HH
It should also be noted that the man’s name is not Ronnie Delia
but Ronny Deila.
I know some posters are deliberately misspelling it. For what reason I’m not sure.

European champions Real Madrid look even stronger than last season.Strengthening from a position of strength…that will never catch on!
……………………………………………………………………………………..
Imagine if by some strange twist of fate Real Madrid had to play in the SPFL?????????
We have a lot of matches this season both at home and hopefully in Europe so Tonev having a knock is not the end of the world there will plenty of time for the bhoy to make his mark this season. H.H.
