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.

“Oh and Raionic has caught the line” – ( a disappointed way of saying it was IN )
Andrew Castle
147 mph serve by Raonic, the fastest serve of the tournament
Returned by Murray – and he wins the point!
Cork Celt

This could easily go to five sets, the big guy is just loosening up.
Away to cut the hedge CSC
My all time favourite has to be Maria Bueno.
has the tv schedule been finalised yet, want to find out which games will be televised whilst I’m on holiday
I thought Chris Evert was looking cute in her wispy dress this morning.
ACGR text me to a say he thought Martina is still tidy, I didn’t have the heart to tell him she bats from the other side. :))
Saltires, Gaby was and still is a pure cracker, couldn’t believe it when I learned she preferred female company.
The greatest loss ever to the male world.

‘Andy Murray British Nicola Sturgeon Scottish?’

On the basis of who was entitled to vote in the independence referendum that would probably be a fair assessment.
Cork
I still have my boyhood dreams to hold onto…
Go on Andy 2-0 (7-3 in tiebreak)
Saltires
As long as it’s only your dreams your holding on to

2nd set Andy
That moment when you have dropped +140 mph serves into your opponent and they are whipped back
You know you are going to have to win next 3 sets
That’s the ‘head test’ right there
Sabatini travelled on the other bus??
That’s ruined my weekend. Thought I might still be in with a chance (well, you never fully give up…)

the tour is incredible – froome – amazing
I wouldn’t say it’s his game plan but if Murray set out to let Raonic lead then keep pulling him back in and pipping him to sets it must be soul destroying for the Canadian,in attrition Murray is an absolute master especially with the arsenal he has in his game.
Somehow I cannae imagine gabby in dungarees and a pair of doc martens

Checking in to Le Tour- weather is worse I’ve ever seen
Tough in the mountains at the best of times
Chris superhuman !!
A little worried of the midfield three that Brendan has used in last two games.
A big reason for some very poor performances last season and have looked more of the same in both games.
While each of them have individual talents as a collective they are mince.
The lack of service to the front players was obvious yesterday.
Brown has dig and energy but lacks creativity.
Johansen has a great engine but is indisciplined and not suited to a deeper lying role.
Bitton is good at reducing tempo and passing ball backwards or sideways.
Not one of them is good at protecting the defensive zone and all offer very little positive or creative play.
I hope Brendan is just giving everyone an equal chance to prove their worth and will be ruthless when the games begin.
The midfield in second half yesterday put in a far superior effort in second half after wholesale changes.

I’m sure if you try really hard you’ll get there
