Sep Blatter hoped that Fifa would today ratify moving the 2022 World Cup, which will take place in Qatar, to the (i.e. Europe’s) winter months, however, that looks unlikely to happen. Fifa are split on the matter while Uefa president, Michel Platini, is keener to focus today’s meeting on the working conditions of migrant workers based in Qatar.
Right now Fifa have no grounds to withdraw the award of the World Cup hosting rights from Qatar, the award was made in full knowledge of the country’s climate. The treatment of migrant workers could change this. Fifa can insist that World Cup preparations do not expose workers to undue risk or inappropriate conditions. If Qatar cannot deliver within acceptable working practices the basis for legal grounds to withdraw the award has been established.
I wouldn’t book tickets for Qatar just yet.
The most enduring frustration from Tuesday night is for Charlie Mulgrew. Playing in his fourth choice position, which would never really be a choice Charlie would make, he did exactly what was asked of him against Iniesta and Xavi. His chance on 73 minutes could just as easily have bounced inside the post, which would have bestowed appropriate appreciation for the effort one of our own has put into his career.
Bring on the Ajax.
I’m curious as to who gave the £2.5m personal guarantee to lend Rangers International money, noted in their accounts this week. This is as big a financial commitment anyone has made to the Newco in some time.

Bhoys,
if you’re going to be driving in the West of Scotland tonight please drive carefully. The driving conditions are atrocious.
It’s not so much the surface water on the roads – that’s bad enough – it’s the fact that the keep mentioning on the radio that Sevco had postponed their forthcoming game with Dunfermline due to Lee Wallace being called up by Scotland!
PMSL
I swear to God, the big tree came at me out of nowhere!
Just as well it wasn’t Lee McCulloch. I doubt I would have survived!

Swansea stadium half empty
One would have thought there would have been more interest ….hardly a regular occurrence …..or another example of the EPL slowly causing fan apathy
Rottan who starred for the rotten mob before they died is playing tonight for dnipro I think.

Unbelievably, a couple of the Huns I’ve talked to recently fudged a casual enquiry of mine on that topic. One of them, I did overhear talking about deals and referenced £15 a season for a kid’s season ticket.
And mentioned a round £200 for an adult. I can’t confirm as his conversation was with another Zombie, trying to encourage him along to Mordor. I got the impression there was a turkey-shoot on with their seasons, depending on who you knew, past custom, supporters’ clubs, ludges – it’s Del boy marketing.
One tihng is for sure – none of them would pay the price required to stave off oblivion.

Aye,
with the help of the MSM they’d probably get the 8 / 9 mullyin for the Ollie North of Edmiston Way too………………. just think how they helped with Jean-Alain and the mighty Alain…..Hutton……….
BTW – they will get that hunned up benefactor at some point, this has all been about rinsing their toxicity out the system…………….the sins of the Busted Flush seemingly the pivotal factor………..
Until he’s publicly named and shamed…….games a bogie.

Lee Wallace is in the Scotland squad, Lewis Macleod in the under-21s and Arnold Peralta will be with Honduras.
How could they possibly play without the spine of the team. ‘O)

Evening CQNers,
off-topic but close to home the Semantics Police are dreaming of pastures new in their relentless glacial progress to corporatise football.

2 bloggers from below that piece:
“Yid’ was a north London slang term for a secular Jew. It, like its counterpart ‘Goy’, wasn’t something you’d use in polite conversation. Its wasn’t that it was insulting or anything like that but it just showed a certain coarseness which branded the speaker as working class.”
add to that…
“The club is owned by a Jew. Its chairman is a Jew. Its fanbase is traditionally Jewish. Its fans celebrate this by self-identifying as Jews. And the Met want to arrest them.”
Met Police – buncha schmucks

Did you happen to see all the empty seats in Porto for the Athletico Madrid game this week.
Surprising for such an attractive fixture. Is football in decline in Europe?

I thought McMullan looked the best prospect in the Under-19 team. I believe he is one of the younger players too.
I agree with you that our Under-19s looked like boys against young men in the games against AC Milan and Barca. The positive thing was that they kept possession against Barca much better than the senior team. But I am never too hopeful about our youngsters. It doesn’t help that they are not given a chance in the first team often enough – the game against Morton was a perfect opportunity.

have some great prospects but they do need a decent run at it
not enough coming thro’

LOL! Booked for takin’ the Stud’s to the head….. Only in Scotland…..Wait a min..

He should form a band with that Karagandy player Vicious. :)
Swansea game – ichu booted on the heid, split open, no pen. Then he gets booked for being stitched up and annoyed he can’t get back on the park for 12 minutes.
With that ref on Tuesday Neymar would have gotten the hiding he fully deserved plus a card or two and we’d have finished with 11 men and a point at least.

Perhaps
Or apathy as the CL becomes stale
CP is a class apart ….the grounds of smaller teams like Basle often create a better atmosphere than the more established CL competitors
Why do we buy prospects like balde?
Is that what the U/19’s are?

We have had a very poor return for the fortunes spent on the youth structure
Of the current squad Forrest is the only one to have come thro from the academy …I think
PF, d’ya think they’ll go futt again?
Can’t see it – The Piranha Bros will make their bus fare selling it back to said benefactor when they have squirmed back up the spl.
Can’t make up my mind whether it’s a big shell game or musical chairs……….all to protect the “dance-floors” most unlikely hoofer.

We’ve just sent out an email to everyone who bought the Willie Wallace book or the CQN Annual last Christmas. Tomorrow CQN will have our launch of SEAN FALLON CELTIC’S IRON MAN Autobiography which is written by Stephen Sullivan.
BRTH is going to review the book for us so will leave that to him! (His arm is on the mend btw!)
We have copies of the book to send out immediately and are offering free P&P. See CQN tomorrow.
We will also have the 2014 CQN ANNUAL out early next month and the next CQN book is titled SEVILLE. It includes all the memories posted on here back in May (we have tidied them up!) and it is a very special Celtic book.
Finally anyone want to write for the next CQN Magazine please get in touch. You can get us on the CQN Magazine Facebook page or email celticquicknews@gmail.com

I do indeed
I can’t see any other outcome
Easedales dont have enough money to cover a £14m pa deficit for too long
They don’t have enough money to see much beyond the New Year …who’s going to to front up
IMO they do what they usually do …a fair amount of sitting on ones hands
