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. Kris Commons was Celtic’s best player last season and probably the season before.

     

     

    And he looks pretty good to me this season as well.

     

     

    C’MON THE KRIS!!!!!!!!!

  2. Sorry ghuys but ma 2 o’clock appointment didny turn up.

     

     

    (Well, actually she cancelled it this morning)

  3. Philvis,my first and second were a doddle slept well,fed well etc,however when the child of satan number three was born we had,get this,FIVE yes FIVE months of colic!! I can assure you if he had been the first he would also be a single child.

  4. timmy7_noted – Oh man, I know, I know…

     

     

    I can’t believe colic isn’t banned by the Geneva Convention. (thumbsup)

    I meant it would take me 2 minutes to read it!!!!!

    All aboard, all aboard, all aboard the Wee Eck Happy Bus.

     

    No matter the issue no matter the problem blind faith and hope will get us through.

     

     

    We are currently undergoing a national psychosis based on one man’s blind faith.

     

    BoE, PM of Spain, Paul Krugman, various EU blokes — they all know nothing.

     

     

    And for what — two wee tiddlers searching for a puddle, that’s what.

     

    All based on the lie of Independence that is nothing of the sort.

     

     

    Cannot believe the forces that have been unleashed with no thought of control.

     

    No matter the result tomorrow this will run and run — the mob has been awakened.

    I would argue that not raising the issue of currency union before a crucial decision would have been disingenuous to the population of the UK as a whole.

     

     

    We are all going to be affected by the ultimate decision, so why wait until after a Yes to discover that some of the promises made on back of the hope for currency union were in fact unfounded and a Yes had been achieved on the back of an unfounded hope?

     

     

    I have no problem with hope, I hope one day to get the aim of Res12 story achieved and am working with others towards that aim, but I’m also planning for the worst case scenario as well if Scottish society simply accepts that what has taken place is the way they want this country governed after deceit and duplicity have been laid bare for all to see.

     

     

    That is my problem with the Yes argument. No mention of what might happen if their hopes do not materialise.

     

     

    No mention of worst case scenarios in their campaigning. They cleverly, or deviously , left the delivery of negative news to Better Together who should have been pointing out that over the piece the UK with free movement throughout is not as bad a place to live in spite of years of misgovernance from right and left with a promise to make it even better.

     

     

    Indeed I would argue that is the mix that has kept the UK as a relatively stable and progressive society on which to build in a world being rent asunder in a mad rush to separate ourselves from each other when that is simply impossible.

     

     

    Hope for the best but plan for the worst is my approach to development and the aim of independence at the end of the day is surely development?

  8. Philvis,

     

     

    Welcome to the common mans ‘sexy time’ timetable.

  12. Top 3 reasons for voting No on TV news voxpops:-

     

     

    1. I don’t trust/like Alex Salmond.

     

    2. I was born British and I’ll stay British.

     

    3. I don’t like/trust Alex Salmond.

     

     

    Even wee Ernie does better than that.

  13. Philboy it was indeed Damian who had the colic and I who spent most of the time telling my wife that it would be better tomorrow,and tomorrow and tomorrow.Like clockwork virtually every night for months after the last feed,I could get about 15 minutes then waaaaahhhhhh,waaaahhhh,waaaahhh for hours.Poor we sod was in agony but there was nothing we could do other than walk him in the pram.I live in the south side so even stopping to cross the road would get him started.

     

     

    Car worked a little but he seemed to like the motion of the pram.Then bizarrely as if by magic it just stopped one night and never happened again,I think the wife had him exorcised and never told me.

  14. Keeping The Faith on

    Yeah Mitch bloody oiks getting uppity?

    Regarding your nocturnal difficulty, the Squire-ess and I tended make the most of the Squireen’s weekend afternoon naps. (THUMBS UP)

  16. Tamrabam,

     

     

    Kc has made a slow start to this season similar to last season.

     

     

    Some cos of him. Some cos of not being picked.

     

     

    But like last season he’ll improve imo.

  17. Squire,does the squiress know that you are discussing your,ahem,activities on a blog? I would guess the answer is no,my silence is purchasable for four pints of West.

  18. DD he probably does’nt know there is life outside the Swamp just leave to get on with it, bless him the wee soul. Hail Hail Hebcelt

  19. Billybhoy,

    GerryBhoy sorry you’ve lost me with that one

     

     

    My confusing response to his poorly made point (which was that a yes vote would exclude Scotland from the EU) is that middle england will decide to take the U.K. out of the EU in the promised referendum. Tory back benchers and UKIP will campaign strongly and most probably successfully for a U.K. exit; against the will of the Scottish people. Not democratic for the Scots.
