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.

    Ever seen the size of Moth’s Baws?

    That reminds me of the joke about the two Irish women visiting the USA. They are driving down the freeway and John Wayne Bobbit’s wife is travelling in the opposite direction. Just as she is passing the Irish girls’ car she throws JWB’s appendage out of the window hitting the Irish duo’s windscreen head-on at which point Mary says ” Feck me Bridie the moth’s are well hung in this country.”

    “if you are watching this in the pub then it’s ‘ET so phone home”

     

     

    Greg Davies told a good gag on The Last Leg about ET.

     

     

    He said he was watching it with a mate who has forever ruined the film for him by saying early on- If I found something like that hiding in my back cellar, I would have stoved its head in with a fecking spade.

  4. Despite our natural sympathy for the French nation in the light of recent events, they are not actually a football country. Their supporters are boring and they never seem to raise the roof. I was in Paris a few years ago when PSG were playing Marseille and you would not have known there was a match on.

     

    That’s how boring this match is, I get to drift off on tangents like this…

    Never far away here for a beer.

     

     

    Today, working the buses down the road from Faifley, I saw the hibee win his trophy in john browns and had a few pre-match pints in what used to be the telstar.

     

     

    Happy to meet in the area, except I’m excluded from Walter Smith’s west coast harbour, The Ettrick. Can’t imagine why.

  8. Perfect reflection of a truly dull and uninspiring tournament.

     

    Entertainment the casualty.

    Magic.

     

    Mountblow bar, Horse and Barge and Chandlers is where you will find me if I am oot. Ettrick is full of them Glasgow Warrior fans these days. ;))

  16. Gordon would have saved that.

     

    Fraser Foster would have saved it.

     

    Joe Hart would have admired it.

  17. If you’re in the trenches you want Pepe with you, and his mate Sergio Ramos too. Great players.

  18. Happy to see Portrugal win, no idea why. Celebrity ref Clattenburg did make a ricket but he has had a decent game.

     

    France have been poor, only because they have played betterrecently, I did say earlier this week that they played their final against Germany. Mind you , I am not right very often.

  19. Thecelt45- that’s called an early night lol.

     

     

    As someone said Clatty can’t diff between b/w ffs.

     

     

    R onaldo leaps 7 foot in the air celebrating the goal lol
