“People don’t realise how hard he trains or how much he works at it” – Kieran Tierney, talking about Leigh Griffiths. Therein lies a story. One young player, who has worked enormously on his development, recognising the efforts of our other clear success story from this season.
Anyone who believes there is a consistency in the application at training of professional footballers is misinformed. Some are there early and/or stay late to work on their own. Some breeze in at the last minute and never hang around to run, lift or practice with a ball after formal training ends.
The club provides players with breakfast and lunch, but can’t monitor their evening meals or snacks. Or more. Some don’t need to be monitored, others do.
In three months we’ll watch thousands of dedicated athletes, swimmers and sportspeople of many disciplines, pretty much all who work on their development 24×365. Some live lives in the margin of early rises and hermit-like lifestyles. Most footballers live a different reality.
Things are changing at Celtic – and have been going on since before the Ronny era. Players like Kieran Tierney have been brought up to understand the importance of lifestyle and hard work. For years, young players’ attitude has been a major factor in determining if Celtic will retain their services.
Success is not just about inherent genius.

SAINT STIVS
You mean: why Pablophanque with “ph” or why he chose Pablo Fanque, then changed?
Yir man Dennis Suarez just saved himself a severe arse-kicking (from his going mental manager) for nearly causing a goal……………
by setting up the injury time winner 1-0!

Hi mate
Good to get the victory tonight I agree :-) I hope we have more fusing thro from the youngster.I took in valencia game earlier in season a few gallus ones in there :-)

I assumed Pablo was a Beatles fan..
TBJ…
Yep, to be honest though, they fair wiped out the huns. The wee sweetie wife (you know who I mean) said to me today all the new management are tims ;)

That pie of a bus driver could have dropped me and stevie off on his way to Cambuslang… but the story wouldn’t have been so memorable that way
These BT guys are clowns, Liverpool should have won 3-0 !

Makes sense dude…
An Tearmann,
At that Valencia game , my son and I were most impressed with Regan Hendry,Jack Aitchison, Mark Hill (our number 8 in that game) and Jamie McCart .
Mark Hill did a really good job in midfield helping out both defence and attack . We were not as strong after he went off injured . Valencia got their equaliser after he was subbed.
The non-foul Jack Aitchison was pulled up for at the end, was one of the worst decisions I have saw and there are plenty of contenders.
Yes, Steve was the Beatles big fan.That was his first band. Then there were on the list:Led Zeppelin, early Genesis, Van Morrison, Wings, Supertramp and others.
As for “ph” in Pablophanque, why not Pablo Fanque? He was using Pablofanque but I remember he said some effer had bagged it before him :-)
Alex is well thought of now, he turned things around safe as can be.
Nizzy the sweetie wife :)
Jamesgang , the board are doing to us what the SFA are doing to Morrisey, Auldheid, Canamlar and Brogan, not replying to questions and requests they dont want to deal with.
Is Michael Owen standing in a hole?

Stevies service was all music and fitba …. beatles etc and celtic celtic celtic with a bit of engineering thrown in
Got an email mail from his son the night before requesting hoops at the crem . Bumped into my neighbour on my way out … suited booted and hooped… going to a funeral says I… she looked ato me and laughed. First smile of the day for me
Picked up estadio on my way … what a bhoy he was . We reminisced of the day we went to I brokes with BT and pabbers
Now that was cqn at its finest
And if anyone wants to call us a clique then Shame on them
What a great first touch by Denis Suarez in the build up to Villareal’s goal.
Delaney’s and Eddie , if you get tickets, have a great time at Anfield.
Steve McManamin doesn’t half talk a lot of mince.
Mcmanamince don’t half talk a load of shite:-)

I’ve been on the blog since early on and remember Pablo of course, though I never got to meet the man. Sounds like he got the kind of send-off he would have approved of.
“Is Michael Owen standing in a hole?”
Sips,
Standing WITH an a-hole.
HH
Lot of good posters I don’t see posting any more, which is a real shame.
Walls crumbling all over the place.
They’re going to need a mason.
NATKNOW…
Reckon a lot have moved on to Twitter, kip time. HH
Hope Villarreal horse these guys next week after listening to such bumcious crap. Can someone tell mcmanamince that Sevilla are 10 points behind the yellow subs…..

They should have done what they did with the olde 24 Hour Cowboy – stood him on a milk-crate!

When nizzy started in there he was ok… decent Turner and not a glacier apprentice … the cabal turned him
Glad eck is on the one road albeit a long road ;)
Say hello to him from me please.
Have things settled down now
Winning captains. Was that a jam tomorrow post?
Honest it’s all gonna be okay?
There is a master plan?
Seriously how many times have we heard this?
As for the other usual attacks. What’s the excuse for Paul to completely refuse to discuss our boards performance?
Pray tell.
Natknow
Had so many good times with pabbers ( he didn’t like me calling him that so …. it stuck )
Im currently arranging my service but struggling to locate a phone box ….. Stevies service was packed out and non religious
Standing in the Falkirk crem car park with the cqnrs decked in hoops…. the service in front of us was a postie and his colleagues arrived in theIr uniforms
One wee ” pat” looked at us and muttered fenian Bassas…. I laughed at that as it really was a non religious service by Stevies request

PS, where other’s saw the SFA input(QC’s question at the MASH/SFA hearing) today as a door closer, I saw it otherwise.
I read it as, “we can’t(won’t) but you can and should.
They are still craven, both the SFA and CFCPLC, they should have taken this up.
It should not have been left to shareholders.
TBJ 1040
It takes a really special class of ignorant bastard to come out wi that at a funeral.
Absolute shocker.
