Delighted to see Brendan Rodgers is down to business at Lennoxtown, three weeks before the players return for preseason training. It’s interesting that he arranged an early opportunity to meet Scott Brown over a meal, and that this was made public.
Getting buy-in from senior players was one aspect of the job Ronny Deila allegedly didn’t achieve. The rights and wrongs of this can wait for Ronny’s autobiography, although you may wish to express an outsider’s opinion. All that matters to Brendan is that no one is able to speculate about the same issue on his watch.
There’s not much a manager can do three weeks before training starts than eat dinner with the captain, scout players and watch videos. I expect Brendan to have seen every minute of every Celtic game last season by the time players get back; there is lots to learn. In particular, what went wrong at the back to a team which broke defensive records in each of the previous two campaigns. You may wish to express an outsider’s opinion.
Those in the know warned us that blue collar crime is particularly difficult to prosecute, and so it’s transpired. Only Craig Whyte now faces trial in the Rangers fraud case, which saw remaining charges against Duff and Phelps’ administrators David Whitehouse and Paul Clark dropped at the High Court in Glasgow this morning. It’s far from a satisfactory outcome.
Good to hear the losing Scottish Cup final manager, who was left with some bears in Japanese forest for seven days by his parents, has been found safe and well, even if he has nothing to say for himself.

One day our stars will meet.
Kikinthenakas jumped out the same
page that you did yesterday, a couple
of years ago, again a measure of the
quality of folf who inhabit this place.
But – it’s almost embarrassing
to convey that I canny afford a season
ticket any more, on here, in case folk think that
I’m trying to cadge ?….That is not happening.
Now, I know that this place can produce unprecedented
levels of Magic now, and again but, I’m also aware
that here are a handful on here who think that
I was at it with my cancer scares last year and,
and earlier on this year….that’s all btw.
2 reasons why going to the fitba is difficult
for me…..
1. Canny afford a season ticket anymore.
2. I’m waiting to hear back from the hospital
to see if I’ll need to get a walking stick cause of my hip.
But,……..
I know that it’s this place that lets the
sun come out – it’s been out since the
arrival of Brendan btw :)
An omen ?
Hopefully.
Being a natural worrier, I conjure up all
the possible trap doors that could be lying
in wait for Brendan at the back of my mind.
One thing that he has to realize very quickly
is that, as soon as you become a Celt, you must
be aware that you can ‘never’ be paranoid enough !
Never !
My wife says that I could afford a season ticket but,
I know that she’d be prepared to cut off her nose to
spite her face just to get me to go to see the Cellic again.
If I have to get a stick, that means losing my job then, I’ll
need to nip BlantyreTim’s heid to see what way I would turn then ? :)
Time to put the violin away.

typos sorry
Cassius Clay.
The Louisville Lip.
Could never believe he was as good at his job as he was.
Till he proved us all wrong in the ring with Sonny Liston.
Had more of an influence amongst his own people against entrenched racism than any other man.
IMHO.
Sadly went with Elijah Mohammed rather than Malcolm X .
A real 20th century giant.
And an ordinary man who used his god given talent to fight against racial discrimination.
As much as he fought against his opponents in the ring.
A poet who didn`t know it.
And a great entertainer.
Perry Como will never walk alone in the Jungle.
Bobby
Sad news indeed.
Not sure why, but as a teenager when Ali was at his peak, I always wanted smokin’ Joe to win. Great rivalry. I think I liked Joe’s underdog status and his street fighting style as opposed to Ali’s masterful boxing style.
No doubt though that Ali was the master craftsman .
Ali, Frazier, Foreman,Norton. When boxing was at its magnetic best.
Compare and contrast some of their battles to the more recent lump of wood v plank of wood that was Klitchko v Fury.
RIP Ali.
Ali – RIP
He was The Real Deal…..

Worst boxer I recall for “lump of wood” was Gary Mason. Slowest mover in the ring ever.
Also sadly dead,btw.
Cheers Bobby
Off to parkrun soon but will watch them before racing starts.
Twisty –
Parkrun CSC!
Bobby
Gary Mason. I met him. Late 80’s I reckon. I walked into a bar and he had his back to me. I remember thinking that the guy had the biggest neck I’d ever seen.
Only when he turned around I realised who he was. I’m sure he was unbeaten at the time, in fact I think he only ever lost to Lennox Lewis. Yes, not the quickest on his feet.
Chatted to him for about 10 minutes. He seemed a decent enough guy based on that 10 minutes.
Had his problems later certainly.

Parkrun.
I only started it a couple years ago when I was trying to get fit. Was running a pedestrian 27-28 minutes.
Slowly started knocking a few secs off here and there.
Got to 23min 39secs.
Then…………
Some eejit changed the course. It now incorporates an uphill finish akin to the last 3 furlongs at Hamilton Park.
As I don’t really train for 5k, preferring off road and hill running, I just use it now as a training run and don’t even start my watch!
I’ll lumber round now in 25 minutes or so and be happy with that.
Kevj
Any time my tyre rebel
The good thing about hill running is……..the doon bits:-))
I can also tell you about elbow crutches
Easier to use than the old walking stick and you don’t feel as ancient
You show offs enjoy your runs whilst the rest of us pop the opiates :-)
RIP Muhammad Ali. Not only a great boxer but a genuinely funny and intelligent human being. More than 30 years of Parkinson’s disease was his greatest fight.
The Greatest – RIP.
BT
Enjoy?
Interesting use of the word :-)
I feel great after a run, but doing it , not so much:-)
On the parkrun you need to be doing 7min 25 miling or so for the 3.2 miles to hit the 23 min mark.
On the hill runs I run 6-7 miles, BUT, much slower miling.( mind you I can run DOWN the Wrekin like the roadrunner:-))
Anyone whose ever run down it will tell you how easy that is:-))
`75 .
Wee song.

I’m just jealous, can’t even cycle according to my surgeon.
Like knotweed I’m growing uncontrollably
Good morning friends from a dry, calm, warm but cloudy East Kilbride.
Flippin eck tuker we have another runner on:-)
BT
They other runners are show offs tho. Sub 22 minute guys.
I’m the real deal. I do it only for the ( cough) spirit of the event.
So we’re bringing in Stephen Fletcher?
That’ll be the honeymoon over, then.
Please god no, not Stephen Fletcher
A few beers last night so although this morning’s ParkRun is still on the agenda I’m not expecting to break any more records this weekend ;-)
Ali – RIP
PARK MUST GO NOW
Forget about senior players wrecking managers careers its clowns like Park who are every bit as guilty
Stand up to this Brendan or be another lackey
Away back to sleep :/(
Twisty ————–
:))))
My starting run was just mid january, ambled round in 45 mins…………(yes, I know)
Rapid improvement with little training as you say has me down to the pedestrian 28 mins………
………….our course is part Eiger Sanction to be fair…………even the Club runners walk up that bit.
Since starting I’ve got back into the fives as well – but always end up injured……….calf and hammy perennial problems……….
Love the craic tho’………

The times are secondary as you allude to. It’s the benefit that’s important. 28 min from 45 is remarkably good progress.
Keep it going.

And sometimes it’s just all about settling in behind a nice paced runner and admiring the view ;-)
