Extra week training in July has huge impact

2173

I was concerned about a trip to Estonia after hearing Hearts struggle in their home leg against Estonian opponents last week, so news that Gibraltar’s Lincoln Red Imps beat Flora Tallinn was welcome, although the concern was tempered as news arrived that Hearts were three goals up in the away leg.

The lesson here is that in July, one more week’s training has a huge impact on performance.

Brendan Rodgers will be happy with how training has progressed thus far, but it’s only when players put multiple 90 minutes under their belts that they are ready for competitive action. There’s not necessarily a great deal of work to do to overcome Red Imps (no offence intended), but qualifiers come thick and fast thereafter. Despite beating Slovenian champions Olimpija Ljubljana yesterday, I expect Celtic will be more motivated for Saturday’s game against Maribor.

It gets serious from now onwards.

  1. My daughter just skyped from Gibralter. queued for tickets. No limit on purchases. All tickets gone. Shes looking for 2. Anyone can help her ? Guaranteed lift from Fuengirola

  2. Hope the statement brings some definitive and unarguable info from the guys as well as a plan to take to next stage(s). No matter what though, those involved in this have had to run a marathon through treacle with all the obstacles put in front of them. Well done and a big Hail Hail to you all.

    I love the boxing, cheers for the nod.

     

     

    I’ve also started watching the cage fighting due to my son and daughter especially the Conor mc Gregors fights.

     

     

    I’ve said on here before…the best footage I’ve seen of boxing was the “the fabulous four” what a compilation of their best rounds against each other it is.

    Hail Hail Bhoys the sun is shining in the East end beside our Paradise.

     

     

    Resolution Friday?

  5. Getting really excited now. Even if we don’t get all my hearts desires. If we can see some admissions and awkward red faces at the SFA it would be something achieved.

    No worries, you said James was getting it and never mentioned Phil or Joe (video Celts) WA just concerned it was getting leaked

    I have a good feeling. Remember the last Friday night announcement?

     

     

    The media are on holiday. Strike!

     

     

    There she blows…..

     

     

    Pumped.

    Good point. I wasn’t aware that Phil would mention it and as far as CQN goes the statement – which is formal and therefore rather dry to read -is quickly followed by the piece by James which explains it in detail and is rather wonderful -the best thing he’s ever written.

  9. Lemon tea in front of me.

     

    Grand kids packed upstairs to avoid distractions.

     

    Andy trying to break before the top of the hour announcement.

     

    CQN on my iPad, in case I need to run to the bathroom before Paul’s new article announcement.

     

    3 minutes to go.

    sipsini – not a big fan of cage fighting, might give it another go. I watched the Hagler vs Hearns fight again yesterday, still the best opening round of boxing I’ve ever seen.

     

     

    This will probably be ignored as it’s 3 mins to 6 and people have other things on their mind just now :-)

    tallybhoy … think MR is the first Canadian male in a grand slam final ever … so, big news over here!

     

     

    TimHorton ….. have seen the ads for it, but never seen it. Dont watcha whole lot of tv … last ones that were must sees for me were Sons of Anarchy and The Wire. Is it worth checking out?

     

     

    Really hoping for some good news on Res 12 today. I dont really care the result, just want THE CLUB to show that they actually give a damn!
