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.

    Big Nan – all those masons will be salivating at getting unbridled power in scotland.

     

     

    Excited?

     

    ……………………………..

     

    We can sort that out when all of the people re-engage in the political system.

    Ernie Lynch, while you are on the subject of politicians telling lies –

     

     

    “Yes, these expenses are all legit” – Jim Devine MP

     

     

    “There are weapons of mass destruction”- Tony Blair

     

     

    “The House of Lords should be abolished” – John Prescott in 2004. He gleefully became Lord Prescott in 2010.

     

     

    You are on shaky ground. C’mon cut and paste the Jim Mather quote again, you know you want to.

    I’m more interested in politicians who tell the truth.

     

     

    Like these two.

     

     

    ‘We didn’t mind the economic side so much’

     

    Alex Salmond on Thatcher

     

     

    ‘Any notion that an independent Scotland would be a left wing country is delusional nonsense.’

    Would you agree that the Nuremberg rallies were examples of people re engaging in the political system?

  6. Oh Im sorry Geordie – I forgot, modern scotland doesnt like dealing with facts and figures.

     

     

    We only like eternal optimism and pretending bad stuff doesnt happen in scotland.

    I see the record has stuck again, someone should give it a dunt, that normally works.

     

     

    Wailing, wailing, you really need to take a good look in the mirror, the abuse you have dispensed on here is unbecoming of a Tim.

     

     

    Vote YES Scotland

    I’ve been posting on here for some years now.

     

     

    When did you start posting?

  9. if there is a yes vote what happens next?

     

    independence for the shetlands?

     

    if i was an islander i would be demanding a referendum.

     

    it’s shetlands’ oil.

  10. the glorious balance sheet on

    Ernie Lynch-

     

     

    Yes you’ve posted those quotes on here about 10,000 times. You have nothing new or convincing to say.

     

     

    On the subject of Thatcher didn’t Blair repeatedly shower her with praise? Didn’t Gordon Brown invite her to Downing Street for a nice wee birthday party?

     

     

    When it comes to Thatcher lovers New Labour, a busted flush in Scotland and England alike, have got the market cornered.

  11. Magnificentseven on

    desperation really kicking in now, you know they are beat when the Nazis get a mention, or Shetland wanting all the oil, Yes for Scotland

    I know it is painful for you.

     

     

    But a vast array of political opinion is today voting YES in Scotland. As is a vast array of political opinion voting No.

     

     

    Deal with it. Deal with the result. Move on from it. Accept whatever is the outcome.

     

     

    What will be wil be and it will be the democrtaic choice of the people living here. that includes bigots, racists, anti-Catholics, anti-Presbyterian, ant-Semitics, anti-Islamists. Thannkfully in the majority people are not like that.

     

     

    You can pump up the heat with your FEAR all day.

     

     

    But try keep a check on your blood pressure. It can be dangerous.

     

     

    next time you contact any of the authorities could you ask for a balanced view including all religions employed by said authorities?

    Not like a nat to try to shut their opponents up, is it?

     

     

    The quotes aren’t new.

     

     

    But they’re truthful.

     

     

    Interesting to see the different responses from the nats though.

     

     

    You get one lot saying they were taken out of context, and another lot saying they don’t want a left wing country anyway.

     

     

    Nats: more faces that a town hall clock.

  14. Is Keith Jackson implying that yes voters hate their kids?

     

     

    Apart from his typo that’s the biggest pile of keech of am argument yet. System justification is not pragmatism keith it’s a form of blindness.

     

     

    But what would a churnalist like him know anyway. His bosses have told him what to think.

    Yes sectarianism is the fault of the English.

     

     

    The Scots weren’t capable of being sectarian on their own.

     

     

    The English had to make them do it.

     

     

    That will account for the sectarian abuse Neil Lennon suffered when he played in England.

    An independent Scotland would be what the people decide it would be. Each individual would have their say in what government is in power and therefore what type of country it is.

  18. Alasdair MacLean on

    Ernie’s equivalents in the Orange Order, Masons etc are encouraging people to vote no to curb the rise of Roman Catholics in power in Scotland.

     

     

    One is as daft as the other I think. Both obsessed extremists.

     

     

    I’ve asked Ernie very politely for his views on Tony Blair’s estimated £70 million fortune – and still growing – using the contacts he made while British Prime Minister.

     

     

    While he continues to ignore the question, I can’t take him seriously.

     

     

    I’ve been posting on here since June 2008.

  19. Thought this wee quote was quite apt on this special day.

     

     

    “You are gathered here with me, so it is needful that you be strong, bold and without fear.

     

    If you behave in this way you will surely have victory.”

  22. If there’s a naw vote ah take it the “national” anthem will be binned pronto.

     

    The lyrics to Flower of Scotland will ring a bit hollow being belted out down Hampden way.

     

    May I suggest something more appropriate, say, Donald where’s your troosers.

  23. Can someone ask Ernie if he campaigned actively on the streets,

     

    I have asked him a number of tomes and got no reply,

     

    I don’t even get a reply to a post asking why I am getting no reply

  24. the glorious balance sheet on

    Ernie Lynch-

     

     

    I’m not a nat and you can’t answer my points about Westminster MPs fiddling expenses, taking cash to ask questions in the commons, screaming for the Lords to be abolished and then accepting peerages.

     

     

    You have no comeback to Blair and Brown’s feteing of Thatcher.

     

     

    Your stock in trade when you have been handed your dinner on a plate on here is to label people nats to dehumanise them as NegAnon2 would put it.

    johann Murdoch,

     

     

    Time will tell. Was at the game on Saturday and saw an improvement, albeit we lost.

     

     

    Seems like a good guy with a good background who can relate properly to the players. I think this is the area that was letting Adams down in the end.

     

     

    Cheers,

  26. I’ve been on Cqn since about 2007 although reading since I think 2005/2006.

     

    Ernie Lynch was on cqn before me and I think a wee bit more respect for his posts is in order, some ganging up on him is a wee bit Hunnish, it’s all about opinions and that’s mine.

     

    Offski Celts.
