Deila and Hutter bedding into their new teams

1385

There are parallels between Salzburg and Celtic.  After an outstanding season Salzburg lost their coach, Roger Schmidt, in May to Bayer Leverkusen, appointing Adolf Hutter (commentators beware), who previously managed Austrian Bundesliga club Grodig and is largely unknown outside Austria.

Unlike Ronny Deila, Hutter has not tried to change Salzburg’s system, but the period of transformation has been blamed for Salzburg failing to overcome Malmo in the Champions League play-off round (Malmo taxed Juventus in Turin last night before two second half Tevez goals settled things).  New instructions, new training techniques and, in some cases, new personnel present challenges.

Ronny has had a few false starts but the return of Scott Brown at the weekend, the return to form of Kris Commons, who will surely start, and the addition of Scepovic, Tonev and Wakaso to the squad give reason for confidence.

  1. Luxcelt,

     

     

    I know. It was a rubbish attempt at saying the guys concerned simply couldn’t say Scotland will be have zero problems keeping eu membership.

     

     

     

    Jamesgang,

     

     

    I’d love that. But I fear you’d be like rowan Atkinson….funny on here but not in real life. ;)

    Got a nervous excitement about the game tomorrow night. I think we can raise our game to a level beyond what we’ve seen this season, ass we always do against better opposition. Salzburg will be dangerous no doubt but like us they seem to be suffering from a leaky defence. Hopefully we can get the first goal and let’s see how they play when under pressure.

     

     

    I’d like to see us with three in midfield.

     

     

    ——————–Gordon

     

     

    Efe——Denayer——-VVD——-Izzy

     

     

    ——————–Biton

     

    ——-Brown——————Kayal

     

     

    McGregor—————————Tonev

     

    —————–Scepovic

    THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN IN 1984

     

    Beneath the old iron bridges, across the Victorian parks

     

    And all the frightened people running home before dark

     

    Past the Saturday morning cinema that lies crumbling to the ground

     

    And the piss stinking shopping center in the new side of town

     

    I’ve come to smell the seasons change and watch the city

     

    As the sun goes down again

     

    Here comes another winter of long shadows and high hopes

     

    Here comes another winter waitin’ for utopia

     

    Waitin’ for hell to freeze over

     

    This is the land where nothing changes

     

    The land of red buses and blue blooded babies

     

    This is the place, where pensioners are raped

     

    And the hearts are being cut from the welfare state

     

    Let the poor drink the milk while the rich eat the honey

     

    Let the bums count their blessings while they count the money

     

    So many people can’t express what’s on their minds

     

    Nobody knows them and nobody ever will

     

    Until their backs are broken and their dreams are stolen

     

    And they can’t get what they want then they’re gonna get angry

     

    Well it ain’t written in the papers, but it’s written on the walls

     

    The way this country is divided to fall

     

    So the cranes are moving on the skyline

     

    Trying to knock down this town

     

    But the stains on the heartland, can never be removed

     

    From this country that’s sick, sad, and confused

     

    Here comes another winter of long shadows and high hopes

     

    Here comes another winter waitin’ for utopia

     

    Waitin’ for hell to freeze over

     

    The ammunition’s being passed and the lords been praised

     

    But the wars on the televisions will never be explained

     

    All the bankers gettin’ sweaty beneath their white collars

     

    As the pound in our pocket turns into a dollar

     

    This is the 51st state of the U.S.A.

     

    This is the 51st state of the U.S.A.

     

    This is the 51st state of the U.S.A.

     

     

    Or you can vote for an independent Scotland within Europe

  6. Brian Taylor telling ripping yarns on BBC …

     

     

    He suggested that prior to the establishment of the scottish parliament , the moderator of the church of scotland fulfilled the role of uniting the people of scotland

  13. Say YES win the day, will there be separate tables at the next CQN(insert no) by voting choice? :-)

    I responded, it’s disappeared on this TIMternet.

     

     

    Seen the wee song choice this morning, great move

     

     

    This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land

     

     

    Including “Free Denny” lots of Bhoys and Ghirls there, including Dhaughter No 1

     

     

    Who can come up with full wording ?

     

    Including fitting Dunblane in it :-)

    Accused? I am honoured to be part of such a movement. Well. I would be but we are against honours.

    “What’s with the new ref clobber ??”

     

     

    I know. What, with that and Adolph Hutter I am beginning to think something has happened whilst most were talking of Y/N matters.

    Little to do with me.

     

     

    The bright young comic davidopoulos took it on in true Stock Aitken and Waterman stylee!

     

     

    Must confess I missed the ‘dunblane edit’ – can you repost it for me?

  20. Put my bet on Indy at Betfred today, got 100/30 which was poor as I should have shopped around and got fours.

     

     

    I did a double with Celtic as well so if Celtic win away then I am quids in and happy.

     

     

    Either way I will be happy as YES is a cert.

    Right, what have I missed? Has anyone been accused of being a member of the Judean People’s Front?

     

     

    Splitters!

     

     

    =================================

     

     

    No but there’s been a few from the People’s Front of Judea in throwing their weight about as usual.

  22. Jamesgang,

     

     

    Away ya big blether. I follow yours and weefras bromance. He’s well nice to you;)

     

     

     

    In other news, I rarely bet celtic but that price tomorrow is getting too good to overlook.

  23. My wife just played me a clip on Facebook

     

    A lady on sky (apart from calling a guy a knob) mentioning that it was a vote for or against england ….. Are there two referendums tomorrow?

     

    Apparently she apologised for calling the guy a knob but not the other …. So she and her employers must think she is right

  24. Pfayr

     

     

    Don’t know who designed the new ‘ref clobber.’

     

     

    …but it wisnae an Italian!

     

     

    HH!!

  25. BTW, a big ( by Arbroath standards) Yes stroll ( it really wasn`t a march in spite of the bagpipes) just went past my place on the Harbour. A few hundred involved and all very good humoured as they passed any No displaying houses.So, for those worried about Civil Disorder, it doesn`t have to be thus. Mind you, I can`t speak for the OO in the event of a Yes victory.

  26. My young bro is working in London this week. Could anyone suggest a pub in or near Crawley to watch the game tomorrow?

     

    Cheers

     

    Up the Celts.
