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.

See the guy sitting beside Ivan Lendal, is he Karl Pilkington:-).
Shouterouters at the tennis and golf are a nuisance (mild term)…
Wee Bobby.

Dis my tits in.
Hope awe the newbies in 403 are reading this.

Not one for tennis but watching today. Murray doesn’t look like breaking Raonic serve.
Min ticket price for Wimbledon was over 3 grand!
Men’s final that is.
Andy nearly there.
Well done Andy Murray.
Murray does it
Raonic can’t get his first service in today
When he does, Andy is whipping back 82%
The best ratio in the tourney this year.
That’s why it’s a straight sets win for Andy
That and his own 1st serve is around 70% …:-)
Hibbies add Wimbledon to SC

My thoughts too.
Well done Andy.
Sitting there greetin, thinking to himself i canny believe I won this the same year we won the Scottish Cup .
Well done, AM. He played well. MR seemed a bit overwhelmed by the occasion. But he is about the same age as AM when he won his first, so there is hope for MR
Give us sunshine on Leith Andy, you know you want to.
Classy speech by AM. Well done (at least, until he mentioned the PM :)
Oops booing for comment about Sturgeon.
Mike in T
I’m looking forward Raomic joining the regular top seed tussle
BARNEY67 –
Think the comment was about Dave boy rather than wee Nicola ;-)
How did we express ourselves in the days before fist-pumps accompanied by “Come on”?
Barney67 – just to be clear that was on reseller sites, face value price was £175
feel like a wee greet emdy got SUNSHINE ON LEITH by THE HIBEES at hambump.
Didn’t see shiny Dave there jobo, thought he was joking about wee Nicola.
Good final by two very good athletes.
Young Raonic may be the future.
Murray looked mentally strong today.
The fitness of pro tennis players is incredible.
Well done Andy.
Awesome performance from Andy Murray – we might never see his like again.
He takes his disappointments – learns – and comes back a winner.
Barney67 –
He never mentioned Sturgeon. It was David Cameron’s name what was booed.
Well done, Andy Murray.
Thought it was a bit dear weeminger. Prob only club members get them that cheap then sell them on.
Paul67 et al
Well done Andy! It is a pity they do not allow ribbons on the cup, because if they did they would be green and white on both handels!
A bone fide sporting hero
Jumped onto CQN after the second set for any football news. Thought I had walked into a French n Saunders 2 Fat Blokes sketch with all the “cor yeah I’d give er one” and “wouldn’t touch er with yours” comments.
See The Grand Old Duke of Kent was doing a fair bit of Knuckle crunching.

Apologies, that may have been me who instigated that….nothing to do with
putting anyone down,just memories of beautiful women whilst in my teens.
Euro final next
Great day of top class sport
Marching Season in full swing in all its vileness and PSNI reportedly treating the theft of a couple of flegsfrom an Orange Hall as a hate crime.
That moral high ground is always up for grabs
High visibilty up there ;-)
