I didn’t realise until this morning that the assault on Lukasz Zaluska’s assault by two premiership footballers was so serious as to have the player lying unconscious on the ground for several minutes. The Celtic player was out in Glasgow with his wife Sunday night before the incident.
Lukasz was singled-out for online abuse by two Dundee United players in August, one from Poland, one Scottish-born player who has represented Northern Ireland, after the Legia Warsaw Champions League qualifier. The Polish player subsequently took to Twitter to campaign for Legia’s punishment for fielding a suspended player against Celtic to be reduced.
The stories I could tell about various footballers would fill more than a few volumes, but all of the tales I’ve heard about Lukasz are that he is a polite, generous, player who repeatedly puts himself out to help Celtic fans and Poles living here. Very best wishes to the big guy, I hope we see him back soon.

Kitalba –
It’s as simple as that Kit. Nothing to do with apathy and weak-willed acceptance of police harassment. I can see that your experience was obviously quite different to mine, but how was I to know that? How am I and others expected to come on to CQN and shout about something I knew nothing about?

With respect Tam either you or I have got this badly wrong ref your final sentence.
I thought evidence-less ramblings were the very raison d’être of CQN?!?

Celtic have won nine Champions League away games since its inception between qualifiers and group stage.
If you read the press we have never won away from home…

I have had a higher regard for JMac than you, I felt the club treated him shabbily in as much as they gave him their best offer when he was in his car on his way to signing for Wolves. A captain deserves the clubs best offer first time.
However his little intervention yesterday sickens me and I am now less inclined than I previously was to consider him a future manager of our club. A very poor show from him.

Good positing mhate.
Well done also with your 5-0 Ross County prediction though to be fair you’re a complete stuck record in that one…..
Celtic away to the Camp Nou.
0-5 says Livibhoy and Griffiths DEFFO to start this time!!!
;-)
Micktt.
Have to say that if (when?) the CQN lunchtime quiz was ‘guess who’s got an allotment?’ Then you would have been the CQNer I’d have thought of!!!

LiviBhoy (12:10 on 22 October, 2014), I agree with the principle of your argument.
In my opinion the CL group stage (32 teams) should involve the Champions of the top 24 European nations plus eight additional teams who have successfully navigated the qualifying rounds.
There are numerous ways in which UEFA could configure the qualifiers, and these would include (at some stage) teams from the major nations which did not win their domestic leagues.
The financial power of the competition would be maintained, as it would still be Europe’s premier club competition, and the elite clubs should generally still manage to qualify, and the qualifying stages would be far more interesting (and commercially rewarding) as a result of the involvement of many of the bigger clubs. Also, smaller clubs such as Ludogorets Razgrad, Strømsgodset and HJK Helsinki would have the chance of a bumper game against the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund or AC Milan.
What’s not to like… unless Scotland falls to 25th ranked country (from its current position of 24th!)?
