Legia less appealing, Man City under-grad

1542

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.

    Do you not have your own special category though: ‘Celtic fans who don’t realise they’re huns’ ?

    tamrabam,

     

     

    I just arrived back in Oz last night, only got to the game at Murrayfield, was on a downer after watching that and hoping for better tonight.

     

    Had a good time back there, could have done with another week but work beckons.

    Let’s have a game of “Who Am I?”

     

     

    I don’t buy a season ticket.

     

    I don’t attend Celtic games – home or away.

     

    I don’t buy Celtic merchandise.

     

    I troll Celtic blogs on a daily basis.

     

    I slag off the team, the manager and the board.

     

    I slag off Celtic supporters for supporting the club.

     

    I spread misinformation about Celtic.

     

    I stand up for the anti-Celtic Scottish media.

     

     

    Who Am I?

     

     

    And before you answer – haha! – I’m NOT a hun!

     

     

    Don’t be a Silly Billy…!

  4. We are the silver lining in the very dark cloud that haunts all Huns. That annoys me.

     

    We should not be providing any relief to them!

     

     

    Come on Celtic let’s rock it.. Release the cash and get the show on the road!!

    At no point did I say I expect us to win nothing. As for the treble, have we not had a great chance to do that in the last few years ? Like you I expect us to do it, but probably more in hope than expectation. I’m not trying to be negative, just realistic. And yes, after our performances against Legia I do think we’re going the wrong way (backwards). We seem to lose our best players and dont replace them with like. Im not going to get into an anti board rant, I love Celtic, always have and always will, just frustrated that I dont think we are where we should be at present

    If so, how good has that been for you?

     

    Does it make you feel that you own a part of Celtic?

     

    Well, get real – ye don’t!

     

    You own a bit of paper that carries no clout.

     

    You might even go to the AGM and, be luck enough to hear PL’s

     

    Rory Bremner jokes then, the world will be a better place. Eh?

    American rock band slipknot have released a new song called ‘the negative one’ in an exclusive interview charismatic lead singer corey taylor said “the bands inspiration for the song came from lurking on the celtic blog cqn and seeing the same negative ones regurgitating the same tedious p!sh day after day”

     

     

     

    Comedy not for you mate.Stick to being a trumpet.

    If you want to get rid of a manager for failing to get us into the groups first time, O’Neill strachan and Lennon would all have been sacked in there first few games. How well would that have worked out mate ?

     

    We where all pissed off after last Wedensday but giving the manager the sack is not the answer IMO HH

  11. TonyDonnelly

     

    “…as for calling people on here Huns it’s only the ones that are I’m calling that, the ones I don’t know need not worry if they are Tims they will get it, the ones who say they are Tims and come on and complain about people calling others Huns hmmmmmmm, that I don’t get either.”

     

     

    Cunning! The old dunk the witch trick. If it’s a witch she floats and we burn her. If not she drowns. OK.

     

     

    Oh and if you moan about it then Gadzooks! It’s a WITCH!!!

  12. I buy a season ticket

     

    I attend all games home and away

     

    I buy all the celtic merchandise that i can and repeat the celtic view verabtim

     

    I cheer on the team regardless of how we perform

     

    I support the board no matter what they do

     

    I can see no wrong in anything that the board does

     

     

    who am I

     

     

    Answer

     

    i am the other 50% of the blog!

     

    ……………………………………….

     

    and this only shows that we have a balanced set of fans who might not act like the huns and all have the same official opinion and between us we can probably come to a conclusion that might be able to take both sets of opinionions into account

     

    what about that?

  13. KevJ

     

    I don’t read the DR anymore cos, Murdo Macleod and Hugh Keevins arent in it anymore.

     

    My guess is that, Murdo was replaced by Neil’s ‘planted’ lackey pal, Chris Sutton cos, Neil spat the dummie when Murdo criticised him and his, players for their abject performance in the LCSF v’s St Mirren. imho

     

    —————————————–

     

    That’s not a very strong case for the defence mate.

     

    Murdo is a decent commentator, I agree and disagree with what he says.

     

    Shug? he has a big stick and stirs, that’s all, he is no journalist.

  14. twentyfirstofmaynineteenseventynine

     

    Stating the obvious yes we haven’t had a good record the past three years, it’s the here and now I’m talking about mate, what’s done is done, can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube mate, onwards and upwards that’s what I say, lurking Huns GIRFUYs

    No no and thrice no.

     

     

    The league should be a shoe in but trebles are harder to come by.

     

     

    Since cups were introduced have we won every single one when we haven’t faced der hun??

  19. While I agree that as far as rules go Legia have no chance – there is a slight twinge of doubt in me that the Suarez decision will be announced just before Legia’s tomorrow – as a good old way of burying bad news….

  26. Jeg er Delia Smith on

    Craig “The Cat” Gordon

     

    Lustig Ambrose Virgil Izzy

     

    Brown Biton Johansen

     

    McGregor Commons Tonev

     

     

    Subs: Forrest, Berget, Denayer, Matthews, Griffiths, Henderson, Buffon…

     

     

    Numbers, grit and stamina in the middle, pace and skill out wide, Commons as a “false 9”. I don’t think Ronny will pick Commons upfront though. For me he needs to be either a “10” or a false 9. Playing him wide or deep exposes his lack of pace and takes him away from the danger area.

     

     

    Alternatively:

     

    Craig “The Cat” Gordon

     

    Lustig Ambrose Virgil Izzy

     

    Brown Johansen

     

    McGregor Commons Tonev

     

    Griffiths/Falcao

     

     

    More comfortable having an additional defensive midfielder though.

    What a crude comment …..dearie me

  31. Hun skelper

     

    i will clarify my own position

     

     

    RD is an unknown to me, I can only judge him on what i see

     

    others seem to feel he is a messiah, regardless

     

     

    he did not inherit a team of eejits, he inherited a team that has CL experience

     

     

    i have not advocated sacking him after 4 games but since he has been handed a golden ticket …. I will advocate sacking him if he cant beat mighty Maribor over two legs. if he does manage to guide us thru the tie I will base my judgement on the fact that he managed to qualify for the CL

     

     

    For me Hunskelper, the SPL is a one horse race and the celtic manager wont get a great deal of credit for winning it. European results are all that matter in a hunless world that we live in

     

     

    To take it a little further, if RD fails to qualify and then get a good EL run instead again my opinion of him will improve, because i will judge him on what i see.

     

     

    Its quite balanced and not based on supporting RD regardless of how he performs.

     

    its based on giving him more keudos for every good result and SO FAR he hasnt had any good results IMO
