8 days before we see Celtic war face

292

How many preseasons have we seen Celtic style to throw off lethargy before finding their rhythm when league business starts?

Our preparations often fell short when it came to Champions League qualification but the domestic marathon is a specialty of Celtic.

As Ange Postecoglou said, his style concern is to prepare the team to win games. He will not be remotely concerned with a result against Norwich tomorrow, instead he is likely to take risks in order to test and tax the squad.

We’ll wait another 8 days before we see Celtic’s war face. Enjoy the end of the summer strategy, whatever the score.

    You seem to value pre season matches as some kind of barometer.

     

     

    I don’t. Never have.

     

     

    I am happy with our coach’s view on it.

     

     

    NB West Ham won’t play a competitive game for 2 weeks. Rangers will have played 2 potentially season defining games in the next 17 days plus 2 league games. I would be surprised if rangers were not showing greater intensity the other night.

    Philbhoy…this windy doesn’t “slam shut” copyrite BSR, for a few weeks…but I suspect our transfer buisness is finished …unless there’s more outs 1st

    “You have posted me a letter” …

     

     

    Sorry — totally lost.

     

    Should I be worried / pleased / excited?

     

    Do you know where I stay — G67.5 is a big place?

     

    Is it the title of a song?

     

     

    Any chance you could explain?

    I agree …

     

     

    canny see you making the first team appearance either :-)

     

     

    Although more hopeful Mooy will get the shout first at some point

  5. MM.you absoutely should’t b worried about anthrax…opem AYL ;-))

  6. On the subject of confidence going into this season

     

     

    Celtic to retain the title … the Huns whatever version are probably in a better place than they have been in a long long time … but still 2nd best in Scotland and I think the “gap” will get wider / bigger

     

     

    Europe … who knows ?

     

     

    I hope Ange doesn’t change … fitba should be about enjoyment and attack, attack, attack .. definitely not just trying not to get beat and hope for the best

     

     

    Although the trophies we have won in the last 22yrs am surprised some still aren’t happy …

     

     

    but that’s ok as well :-)

    “You seem to value pre season matches as some kind of barometer.

     

     

    I don’t. Never have.”

     

    ——————————-

     

    Precisely the opposite stance to that of managers of world class clubs. (reference supplied)

     

     

    Here’s the view of the Bayern Coach: “In games in the preseason, it’s important to win, Nagelsmann said, “To get this kind of winning mood, it’s always important.”

  11. Iniquitous,

     

     

    He didn’t really.He said W.Ham were slower,not only physically,but in mind.He was very disappointed with their performance.What you have written was the SMSM headline,but there was very slight affirmation of this in the actual report.

    @Ron great news mate ……yer a strong bhoy… i had the reverse this morn….

     

    Startin allover again ..feckin MRI..camera’s etc Here we go again….Prostate this time.

    Can’t wait for flag day ..Right next to those lovely sheep chappies….

     

    As Rio blast one in the net…………

     

     

     

    H.H

  13. Thanks GFTB

     

     

    The medics are so amazed and happy with me and my results and my positive attitude, especially when you see some poor souls in the clinic who obviously have worse cancer than mine and are on chemo for hours and sometimes every day.

  14. TURKEYBHOY.

     

    He did say it. Did you see all of Moyes post game interviews?

     

    I’ll post the link in a few minutes.

  15. Very hit and miss the Turkish players.Many of them don’t travel well.The odd exception.Their national team very poor,and club teams no better.We saw the Turks recently against that mob.Crap.

     

    I can see both teams being unbeaten until they meet.The opposition in Scotland,Dons,Hibs has got really poor.

     

    The head to heads will be vital.

  16. Iniquitous,

     

     

    He said it not the way the headline would have you believe,in comparison to how poor his team were.They were slower in mind and body,and very disappointing.
