It was (honestly) a complete coincidence that at the start of last week I wrote that football clubs need “people who can say to the manager, “A club in Romania is doing something really clever, we should try it”, without being frog-marched off the premises”, a few days before Celtic employed a GAA coach as a performance consultant.
Organisations who succeed actively look for development ideas from unusual sources. If you are fishing in the same pond as everyone else, you’ll not find a strategy that will allow you to over-perform. Jim McGuinness, coach at Donegal GAA, will work with Neil Lennon’s technical team two days per week.
McGuinness had transformed Gaelic football, since taking control of unfancied Donegal they have been described as “virtually unbeatable”, provoking astonishment and some hostility from those close to the game as a result of his tactical revolution, known as ‘The System’. For his sport, he has found the ‘Moneyball code’ and the metaphorical answer to ‘Why England lose’, which we have discussed here for a number of years.
In short, Jim McGuinness sees things that others don’t and Celtic know the value of new ideas. I’m pleased at both.

Quite staggering the level of criticism by “celtic fans” on Clyde tonight.
the return of wattie IMO is just another player in the sting to take his seat the taxpayers and creditors will never see a penny from dignity fc and of course that is the way it was planned .I fully expected the peepil to do anything and everything to delude the hordes that triggers broom is the same club and that is fair enough but for the powers that be in Scottish football to bend and break every rule and stay silent to allow this sham to continue is the biggest scandal in this whole farce .
The LL/MSM need no comment

Messi has scored 75 goals in 2012 , overtaking Pele and only
10 behind Gerd Mueller.
The best goalscorer ever.
The 31st dec….apparently some sevcovians think that the cardigan will be announced a knight in the new years honours list…according to a facebook comment I seen anyway.
Methinks he has more chance of becoming a knight of St Columba
Stupid stupid sevcovians
Rubicon,
Can’t remove it via an iPad. Perhaps one of the moderators would be kind enough to do it. Apologies again. Wasn’t thinking.
timsinthebuckeyestate,

I say this because if this was a proposal I assume the two clubs mentioned would have been asked if they would allow their teams to play in the bottom tier .
If I am wrong I will apologise but as I am what some cqn’ers would describe as a happy clapper I don’t make my post lightly
hail hail
Play Sarah Palin….
Win The Election….
Summa Of Sarah…..

___________________________
Not ONE, solitary Celtic SUPPORTER has been on that offensive chlorophobic channel tonight.
Only a few glory-hunting, self-obsessed, thick & selfish chameleons.
We have seen too many of their kind to even be surprised.
Celtic SUPPORTERS are the guys who were there in the 90s, & even more so in the late 50s, & NEVER spoke a word against their club.
Ignore these clowns.
A football club went out of business in Spain today, CF Palencia, from the city of the same name in Castile, a fine place.
It’s a shame. They went into administration and were relegated to the third division at the start of this season. The admins issued a press release today saying they had not been able to secure the investors required and that the club was going into liquidation. The players gathered their belongings and left. CF Palencia will not play again.
Rant about yesterday.
Celtic got Celtic’d
Enough, too tired to argue.
Knee killing me
Rubicon,
Thank you sir. Look forward to it.

Reminded me of the caller on SSB a while back when the ragers fans were talking about boycotts .
The genius said that because it cost them money to buy the tickets they should just have a mass walkout at the final whistle ,you could hear the tumbleweed when one of the panel said ,would that not just look like you were leaving cos the game was over
You had to hear it ,comedy gold
hail hail
celtic first
has no one told them they can just call themselves Sevco for a couple of months and then just add THE to their name and billy,s yer auntie
hail hail
Gotsta go. Curry made. Replay of ‘Homeland’ to watch, then more of Season 2 ‘Breaking Bad’…..which I’d abandoned first time around because I couldn’t handle Jesse’s suffering! Really. Whatever….I’m cool with it now. Great show.
Take care lhads & lhadettes. May your god go with you!

ditto mate
TET. Thanks for the wee reminder of what we are not missing. Khaki suits with the butchers apron round their brass knecks. Dogs the lot of them. HH.
Fergus,
No hassle friend.
I’m just a wee bit fed up with the reaction of some to our reverse yesterday.
We are a work in progress. And doing not too shabbily IMO.
Of course I would want us to perform better yesterday but it is not too long since we were getting pumped by Utrecht etc and 4-0 down in Paisley.
I’m just wondering how I’m going to get back from Wembley in time for the Scottish Cup Final.

Nobody I know has ever known a “Celtic Fan” like the ones who call Clyde, you know the ones who miss the huns and wish them well in Division Three…
Naw me neither!
Neil Canamalar, much appreciated.
Not wanting to reopen the poppy debate, but I’ve just watched the astonishing scenes from Ibrox on Saturday, featuring orange poppies, troops cavorting all over the pitch in orange scarves, and an actual howitzer being fired.
This neddish jamboree is an absolute affront to Remembrance Day. Jingoisitic, threatening, tinged with sectarianism – it is an appalling spectacle.
I’m amazed the Royal British Legion let this kind of “event” pass of as part of Remembrance Day. Everywhere else it is commemorated with dignity, humility, and a degree of sadness.
At Ibrox it looked like an excuse for an EDL rally.
Awful.
I see the Football League has dreamed up a new plan to resurrect thon deid team, albeit through their reserves. Weren’t they responsible for the collapse of the original reserve league because they couldn’t afford to run one? Alice in Wonderland stuff…
I apologise to some for posting that vid.
As you chose, you didn’t watch, I honestly wish I hadn’t, I actually can’t find words that adaquatly can describe what I saw.
Sorry again, there was no intent to offend.
Pay your taxes.

i saw dozens of schoolboys in groups heading for ibrox on sat i would guess chuck’s giving tickets to schools for free
*Dumbarton used tae dae this in the late 60′s when the sent tickets tae the Academy and Hartfield, none ever made it up the road tae St. Pat’s
Tontine, we used to get free tickets at Saint Peters Primary in Bellsmyre.
Re celtic critisism on radio. Don’t tune in. Just don’t.Anyone giving our club a hard time on national radio is a moron. HH.
Not listening to Clyde – sick of their propaganda pieces and obviously loaded number of calls from supposed Celtic fans.
I haven’t called them for over a year and won’t in the future but from what people are saying I feel tempted to do so to call out these alleged fans.
Clyde is the only station to find “Celtic fans” who claim they miss Rangers and who phone up in droves to bash the team, the club and the manager. I have not found one single fan who misses that mob but they can – says it all really.
A World First was witnessed at Ibrox stadium on Saturday when dozens of serving Armed Forces personnel in full uniform marked the solemn occassion of Remembrance for those lost to war by ‘doing The Bouncy’.
Doubtless the MoD will shortly formalise ‘the Bouncy’ by providing new Remembrance Drill Manuals that define the various choreographed steps to take when jumping on the metaphorical graves of the fallen.
One looks forward to next year’s ceremony at the Cenotaph and the very many other community acts of Remembrance throughout the nation, when doubtless the example set this week at Ibrox will be emulated in fine style, in what will truly be a celebration to remember: The National Remembrance Party.
Solemnity has never have known such an enthusiastic, colourful or indeed exuberant outpouring of dignity and gratitude for the wanton deaths of millions. A Nation rejoices.
Lest we forget, after all.
TET Do you know if the service personnel get paid for their time on the pitch on Saturday? Do they have a choice as to whether to attend? Or does a big hun Sergeant Major tell them they are going and they will wear a scarf and bleeping well enjoy it?
Does no one in the MOD get the irony of them acting as free half time entertainment for the hordes that denied the Government of £100m worth of revenue that could have helped to buy soldiers new bullet proof vests etc?
regarding stewards removing people at yesterdays game.
same thing happened in the north stand upper.
pretty sure its folk on the pay up scheme who for some reason not paid the final payment.
TBB,
The frightening thing is, this appears to be exactly what Cameron is wanting, remember he is actually trying to change it all to celebration the start of these wars.
!!Bada Bing!!

It was all for the good of the game, must keep Timmy in his place.
A big thank you to Iceland who have brought back Grapes with seeds
