Fraser Forster has missed the last two games with a neck injury, which Neil Lennon suggested could have been sustained as a result of sleeping on an unfamiliar pillow in Spain last week. Fraser has been treated by a chiropractor but it might be a few games before he is back between the posts.
This is a known phenomenon. As well as bikes, spare tyres and pumps the GB Olympic cycling team make sure that each cyclist brings their own orthopaedic pillow on each journey. Olympic cyclists, like professional footballers, are finely tuned athletes who stress their bodies each day. Muscles are continually bashed and stretched making their bodies especially vulnerable a whole range of ailments.
The GB Olympic cycle team also used heated trousers. To be best of my knowledge velodromes are not particularly cold but as much as any type of athlete, cyclists require their leg muscles to go from rest to full throttle in an instant. Warm muscles are less prone to hamstring, calf, rolled ankle and ligament damage.
Did all this fine tuning get them anywhere? GB cyclists won 7 out of 10 gold medals available to them, so they are doing something right. Jock Stein was the first British manager to take food with the team when they played away in Europe, soon everyone was doing it. The need to find ways of ensuring Celtic are as well prepared as possible for every training session and game remains just as important.
Orthopaedic pillows and 20 minutes in heated trousers before warm-up would cost less than £1000. They would support neck muscles and potentially reduce our horrendous muscle-injury record. Best practice suggests we look into this.

who needs heated trousers.

marvellous, inventive, creative.
Anyone know the situation re tickets for Sunday’s game?
Not got ours yet,which is a bit of a concern.
With the conditions, I thought this would be a high scoring game….would need a helluva finish! :-(

Apparently, the richest on the planet made a clear profit of approx. £150 billion last year, as austerity rages worldwide; said to be enough to end extreme poverty completely….4 times over.
Obscene doesn’t begin to cover it.
Defoe….tosser!

Jeezo, what a wage for an average player

+++++
Crikey. Remember when international players got a grand or so basic wage and only a couple of hundred in bonuses?
I think it was the decade to 2010, at Ibrox.

I am in total agreement with you, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Paul67,
I heard an unsubstantiated rumour that there were still some Celtic supporters subscribing to Sky Sports.
———–
I subscribe to Sky Sports, why shouldn’t I?
Apart from some crackin games in the EPL, I also enjoy their coverage of cricket, F1, tennis, American Football, and a whole host of other sports I don’t get to see anywhere else.
Sure, the tribute act get a seemingly unfair amount of coverage on there too, but guess what I do… I ignore it. I don’t watch them. Just like I don’t ever listen to Talksport any more since The Two Perverts show turned into Chuckles’ personal radio show. Haven’t listened to SSB in years either. The redtops I stopped buying/hitting a couple years back.
Re Mr Tevez…. Ridiculous, but fair play to him he pays his tax and NI…
Get that up you Swallex
Less than a minute to go and Spurs equalise…..Swalex’s nose just went off like a beacon!
Swalex will be wivid….! :-)

Woohoo 9/2 – Spurs score with almost last kick of the game!
“10 man Peterhead………………??????”

Oh aye……………

It’s Championship weekend in the NFL.
Atlanta host San Francisco in the NFC game which kicks off at 3 pm EST.
Atlanta narrowly beat Seattle last week scoring with a field goal 6 seconds from time after being hauled back from a 20 point half time lead.
The 49ers had 2 last quarter TDs to beat the fancied Green Bay. Well I fancied GB to give me a return on my bet. Mea culpa.
San Francisco’s QB Colin Kaepernick had a career defining 444 yard game throwing 2 TD passes and running in for a further two.
If Kaepernick continues to play as he did last week I fancy San Francisco.
The only fly in the ointment is news of a sex assault scandal and possible charges following last weeks 49er win against Green Bay. It’s the NFL and scandal is never far away.
My two bets today
Both teams to score in both EPL games
And
Red Card in the Sevco game
Missed both thro getting KO times wrong…tried to back red card after KO couldn’t get on …
Bloody rubbish…by the way
Vanguard Brains – Once we’ve escaped this bitter wee country we’ll be back pasting all the haters who put us in the Third Division.
