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.

Doc…,
I think you were correct, the meeja bit was like them, a joke
Hail Hail

This Friday
The Exiled Tim
I noticed that the first advert I had to close was for recruitment to the Army, no doubt to replace the thousands of full time regulars being sacked by the British government. Strange attitude that uses Remembrance Day as a promotional exercise, or whatever it was. That said the behaviour of the armed services present was disorganised, ill-disciplined,chaotic and shambolic, or in other words, a complete disgrace. It is hard to believe that many of those on the pitch could be serving soldiers, and I suspect many were little more than the weekend variety, you know the ones the government want to promote. The officers responsible for this disrespectful farce should be drummed, not on the way in, but on the way out. An insult to memory on any level.
I see that Stirling Albion are bringing out a special DVD to mark being the first team to beat “The Rangers”. Wonder if their manager makes an appearance – or is he on his honeymoon?

You’ll notice the numbers add up to 44; also proposed is Celtic and Sevco reserve teams playing in the lower leagues.
You can imagine how that will go down with Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd etc…

googybhoy ♥ Celtic-Frank put Mal Content in his place there.
He certainly did.

Ignore it.
It’s something they’ve made up so Celtic sites will start talking about.
Ergo, it will show our ‘obsession’ with them.

Jabba suggested that Sourness might “throw his ring in the hat” for the Scotland job…. Hahas to many to mention here!!!
The spelnig is usually the giveaway.
Is it just me or is the talk of re-construction just before the Orcs share issue just anoter wee bit of wool to get pulled over the Zombies eyes so they will cough up their ole sixpences to keep Sevco running??
TET
Had a watch of some of the clip that you kindly put up, had to turn it off eventually.
It reminded me of the images beamed across the globe of Paisley and Trimble, hands joined and raised, as they reached Portadown Centre having forced the Nationalists of the Garvahey Rd off their own streets.
Having just watched Shaun of the Dead, that date which appears to be significant for the sevconians must be Zombie Remembrance Day or Z Day as it is called in the film.
Just watched Saturdays you
tube link to ipox,
Didn’t know tiswas was still
running !!
Cant wait to see the beast throw his ring in the hat!
Thanks for that Jabba!
HH!!

I gave it 5 seconds. Enough said.
Lets get back to giving the team a kicking for that pooh yesterday .
For me the fact that reconstruction has included our under 21s in the bottom tier surely shows that our board is ok with this ,the only reason I can see for us and sevco fielding reserve teams is to keep the old firm bu****it going .
Sad day for me here

I managed just over one minute, no sound either…

Hi Gary,
First of all we would like to thank you for booking tickets for the Executive Club for the above match.
Can you let me know if you would like me to post your tickets to an alternative address here in Scotland or would you prefer to collect your tickets at Celtic Park on the day of the game?
I look forward to hearing from you
Kind regards

With their militaristic imagery, obsession with warfare and fighting forces, martial music and the presence of actual weapons of war at the Nuremberg rally on Saturday , the sevconians now resemble nothing so much as their redneck hillbilly survivalist cousins in the good ole US of A.
They have moved from the merely ridiculous to being beyond parody, and the sad thing is they will never realise it.
Stupid stupid huns.
Kris Commons worked like a horse on Wed night and would have been as flat as a pancake come Sunday, he must have put a brave face on it and told Neil he was fine when clearly he wasn’t.

*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
looks blatantly obvious to me that the return of the man with no surname is green’s insurance policy should mccoist continue to mess things up, not sure which is the lesser of the two evils.
Fergus,
How does some SFL proposal, that hasn’t even seen the light of day, cause you to have a dig at our board?
It has nothing to do with us.

The Exiled Tim, Blantyre Tim, Eurochamps67,
Very thoughtful, thank you.
How many callers have played in a high intensity football match for 90 minutes and then had to follow that up in another game where the intensity was lower?
I would love one of them to phone in and explain why the same intensity was difficult to maintain.
I remember a referee official in Mansfield telling me how he went into a Notts Forrest dressing room and Martin O Neil sat there so emotionally and physically drained he could not start to dress and needed help.
I get fed up with opinions where the caller makes no allowance at all for his personal lack of actual experience of the event he is passing judgement on.
timsinohio,
That will be exciting for your daughter, she’ll be a Tim for life.
Can I suggest you delete your post with Tracy’s contact details.
We get some unsavoury lurkers on here from time to time.
