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.

  1. Iniquitous,

     

    I watched the game.No shots on goal at all from them in 1st half.They got 2 quick goals just after HT against a very poor W Ham,who chucked it after that.

     

    The headline was cherry picked

    @Gerry thanks mate about my bhoy….

    I would suggest you were exactly yourself and quite rightly so mate

     

     

    On the fitba front am looking forward to next weekend, Ange deserves his first flag day, hope he has many more to look forward too …

     

     

    Kyogo & Giamakous fit for a full season should scare many defences … in my opinion we are far stronger than last season and hopefully will get stronger

    I doubt my old man would ever have met anyone with such a formidable CV / Education/ Intellect in his life. He was a simple plumber and scrap metal dealer trying to explain to explain to his kid why Celtic, who were enjoying incredible success after 50 years in the doldrums, were still nowhere near good enough for all the clever old guys who would gather after mass to talk and moan about the fitba.

    I didn’t see or quote any MSM headlines. I posted a video of Moyes saying “Rangers were better, quicker, sharper” at around a minute into the interview.

    @GFTB..I agree mate…the one touch fitba will destroy the SP HELL.

     

    Europe can look after itself………We are a young team growing together..

     

    And we are the old team growing with them ….

    Clearly the Current European CL champs didn’t find it much of a handicap losing at Ibrox pre season last year.

     

     

    But if the Bayern chief says it when talking up a pre season tour in the USA then it must clearly make our coach a daftie then eh ?

    I was merely having a wee tongue-in-cheek dig at a couple of posters who were sending each other “I have texted you” comments, and mockingly took it to the next level.

     

     

    I needed someone to address it to and chose you.

    Why are you arguing with another Celtic supporter about how brilliant Rangers are? You seem to have spent 48 hours on the blog trying to convince us how good they are and how bad Celtic are. All based on meaningless friendlies.

     

     

    What’s the deal?

    EH?

     

     

    Tom, what are you talking about? Turkeybhoy mistakenly said I was quoting a headline I never read. I sent him a video link. He said it again, and I corrected him again. Never once did I say we were bad, or the Huns were brilliant. As for Burnley78, I refuted his argument that anyone critical of Celtic must be needy, not accountable, or an underachiever. He followed up with his view friendlies are meaningless. I pointed out that Bayern disagree, as do Klopp and Gardiola, btw. Difference in perspective, no big deal.

  17. Drambowiecelt on

    @Gary….That’s the spirit lol…brilliant medley……

     

    That wee guy’s voice is so high….he should be in the Rubettes lol

  18. Drambowiecelt on

  19. Drambowiecelt on

    Any historians out there????

  20. Back to Basics - Glass Half Full on

    Hhmm.

     

     

    Sevco clearly striking their usual preseason fear into the hearts of the usual suspects.

     

     

    They are clearly majestic and magnificent in equal measure.

     

     

    Their brilliance is unparalleled.

     

     

    We’re doomed …..

     

     

    Domestically – where the godlike Sevco will sweep us mere mortals aside.

     

     

    And in Europe – where we’ll ship a shed load of goals like we did against PSG ….

     

     

    … 5 years, 3 managers and 24 squad players ago.

     

     

    Yawn.

    BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF EMPTY

     

     

    I guess the 8 lost to Sparta Prague 18 months ago and the 7 lost to Leverkusen 8 months ago slipped your mind? Bit of a pattern developing there. Maybe you can enlighten us on what we are doing to prevent us shipping another boatload, or at least to minimize the chance of a recurrence?

     

     

    Even the mighty Linfield can keep a clean sheet at home to Bodo/Glimt.

     

     

    Despite the fact he was helpless against a route one punt from the Legia keeper, imagine our defense with a CCV injury.

     

     

    Yeah, as you said, Hmmmmm right enough.

  22. INIQUITOUSIV 2.29am

     

     

    Some might find you think your opinion is more valid than others OR some might think Ange might know better … I realise you listed your “honours” today that validate your opinion .. which we are all allowed, you then went onto to let us know the halftime score with Liverpool in a game that had been completed the day before … so dont take it personally if sometimes some Celtic fans think Ange & Joe Hart know a bit more about their job than you … am pretty sure Ange wouldn’t dare to tell you how to be successful in your field .. by all means give an opinion but ffs don’t type it as a fact ….

     

     

    And football is a sport not an exact science … hence Cluj, Bodo Blimt and many other teams that have managed to beat Celtic can only dream about going straight into the group stages

     

     

    On that note I bid you good … morning

  23. Drambowiecelt on

    @Initquitousiv…Mate you make good points …especially about our defence..

     

    A bit too clinical sometimes if you don’t mind me saying..???We are going thru an early building process.

     

    i hope Ange gets it right….and for all our sakes we take this coming years title…..

     

    Enjoy tomorrow and the coming season….

    Good morning all from Govanhill. A fine day for pulling the feathers off Canaries. Gerrintaethum Celtic!!!!
