    Celtic 2014-15: Exit Red Thunder

    Amongst the fans the mood is largely frustration, disappointment and anger that despite recent CL windfalls and profit in the transfer market we are being sold short by lacking of meaningful investment back on the playing side.   Yes we all appreciate the perils of spending money you dont have...

    Peter Lawwell will be appearing on Radio Clyde Super Scoreboard on Fri evening in an effort to try and ease fans fears.   More BS and more and more fans will see it as just that,

    Celtic 2014-15: Exit Red Thunder

    One notable downside of our participation in Europa League football - Sunday effing football.   At least four home Saturday fixtures will now be on a Sunday - meaning any value on my season ticket has disappeared as I can't make Sunday games.   I read we won't have a home Saturday 3pm kick off...

      Agree with all of this (Apart from the Liverpool part)   We would get absolutely shagged stupid in the CL group stages. I dont blame Deila - he was the cheap appointment and the blame for the current failure lies with those that appointed him.   Year upon year of selling our better players and...

    It's all about getting to the group stage and collecting the money. Actually investing to compete at that level just ain't happening. Group stage gubbings will become the norm for clubs such as Celtic. Samaras - his return simply wasn't worth the money he'd have been looking for and tbh I...

    As expected Legia's appeal to UEFA is dismissed.

    Celtic open with a welcome 3-0 win over St J.   Pretty poor 1st half tbh and we created little. Second hald Commons robs the defender and sets up Stokes to give us the lead. St J denied a penalty (rightly so) and we get a soft one for a foul on Boerrigter (ST J player sent off)  which fan...

    So it's kick off time for the SPL Champions tonight at St Johnstone.   I hear Leigh Griffiths isnt in the squad - his days must be numbered if this is the case of forward line looks so powderpuff as it is.   Game is Live in UK on SS5 at 19.45 GMT   On the CL fiasco - Legia appealed today.

    Celtic 2014-15: Exit Red Thunder

    How can a player serve a suspension in a tournament in which his club has not registered him to actually play in ? You can say 'It should be the sanctioning body's job' but the reality is that it is the responsibility of the club and each and every club are 100 % aware of this when entering...

      You are correct In September 2011, Swiss club FC Sion were expelled from the Europa League for fielding ineligible players. Sion beat Celtic 3-1 on aggregate, but following an appeal from Celtic, UEFA awarded Celtic a 3-0 victory for each of the home and away legs of the tie which sent them...

    Celtic 2014-15: Exit Red Thunder

      Firstly - I detect no Celtic hate in any posts thus far. What I do detect is a failure to understand the way football operates under UEFA.   The rules you see as 'stupid' I see as totally necessary to govern a game with 54 member associations representing thousands of individual member clubs -...

    I am hearing (unconfirmed) that Fraser Forster has signed for an EPL club for a fee in excess of £10 Million.   All the best big Lurch.   Hello Craig Gordon.   Edit - Southampton being the club - he will replace ex Celtic and ironically Legia Warsaw Legend Artur Boruc.

      The Debrecen case involved a player not correctly registered NOT a player serving a UEFA suspension - its a different scenario . Bereszynski had not served the suspension as handed down by UEFA. Different scenarios and have different punishments attached.

    A few things a wee bit of research has turned up   * Legia submit their list of players to their own Polish FA who verify it and pass to UEFA * UEFA pass in writing a list of all suspended players to both the Country FA AND the individual clubs - Legia were informed in writing the player was...

    I can see your point however the onus is on the competing clubs to comply with the tournament rules. Bartosz Bereszynski was sent off in Legia's final game in the 2013 Europa League - he was awarded a 3 game suspension of which the club were formally notified. The club will have been notified...

    It's fairly certain there will be no appeal as Legia have no grounds to appeal. They played a suspended player and the punishment is a 3-0 defeat - it's that cut and dried. In the eyes of the rule book the fact he came on in the dying moments of a 2-0 win is totally irrelevant as the player had...

    It's daft alright however it's not without precedent. Whoever looks after the admin at Legia monumentally cocked up here for sure. Clubs competing in Euro competitions know full well in advance the procedures re registrations / suspensions etc - if they bungle them then they also know the...
