“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.

Keane was his assistant at Villa for a short time

Can you imagine having a ghuy on our board who spoke his mind, defended the club against all comers, fought and won every court case (well just about).
Man, what would we give for one of them?

He was on the telly last night in the History Boys.
I noticed that in the sequence showing the Boys cramming for their exams the fat one was shown eating a Tunnochs Tea Cake.
English basturts.

Another great film adaptation.
Sad when he died a couple of years ago. His Pie In The Sky was one of my TV highlights…

From previous article.
TINYTIM.
If only you had listened to quonno over the last four years, you would never have believed any of the litany of shit you referred to.
Say this for the Masonic Brotherhood, they know how to back brother masons up. Sometimes Celtic supporters are prone to mumping their gums on blogs and bitching with each other on inconsequential matters far removed from Celtic. Perhaps if as a community we could be more proactive we could achieve more.
As James Forrest has written the Res12 bhoys and the owners of Celtic blogs have put their heads above the parapet and no criticcism should be directed against them.
Someone previously had noted that the online petition demanding an investigation of the issues contained in Res12 had only attracted 2,000 signatures.
Reminds me of the propaganda poster of WW1 “What did you do during the Great War?” HH

Saw that movie in Sydney early `80 s .
A bleak view of the U.K. I had recently left.
Compelling.
Undoubtedly a focus for a Thatchbash .

Man, what would we give for one of them?
It is beyond imagining.
QUONNO
I agree, sadly.
For this coming over to Dublin, according to the car radio the weather here is “glum and wet.”
They are advertising the Celtic v Barca match here quite a bit on the radio too. Tickets go on sale next week. Ticketmaster.ie.
I’m beginning to wonder if there is a Big Picture. Ronny will leave. Someone else will come in and off we go? People come, people go.
Success is not just about inherent genius.
=====================
Inherent genius would be a good starting point.
Too much emphasis now on all the other stuff. The ability with a ball at their feet should be priority then we can hammer home the rest.
Case in point – its putting too much emphasis on the physical stuff that saw us release Andy Robertson ahead of time. Lets look at what they can do with a football because if we have players who want the ball and are comfortable on the ball we wouldnt be conceding 63% possession to a 4 year old club.
I hear Celtic players and coaching staff had the day off after the loss in the semi final of the cup.
Not buying into this portrayal of Deila as a top coach who was just unlucky or trying to do too much.
The evidence suggests otherwise.

The script is available as a book.
The introductory essay by Bruce Robinson is very poignant.

Thanks, mate.

Shane Sutton who is looking for work could be an excellent appointment to further the way things are changing at Celtic
apologies for the hi jack If anybody has details of a masseuse that can do house calls southside to help aid back recovery
much appreciated

Yes, let’s appoint a complete sexist also accused of making disparaging remarks about paralympians.
Sounds perfect.
A Roy Keane and Paul Lambert management team?
With MO’N keeping an eye on them?
Cannae see it tbh!

NEWS NOW,
I check it every day Celtic News Now and (The) Rangers News Now (Know thine enemy!)
It’s interesting the amount of links posted to Celtic Bloggers – 12 in past two days, whereas TRFC – 2 in the same period. Also there are at least 6 Celtic sites used but I can only think of 2 TRFC sites.
I suspect the Ibrox blogs are normally so toxic that News Now wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.

I thought the A-Team was a worldwide phenomenon?!
Not on the same level as The Flying Doctors I agree… :-)
To be fair to Paul,things are changing at cp right enough we habpve had Moneyball, and the the board working away at the 5 way agreement, and the lying to the support about giving our details to the cops or lying to us about safety certificates. We have had supporters banned for nothing, we have had dawn raids on supporters, we have he’d the refusal to take on res Q12. Bringing in a cheap failed manager, blaming him for the boards ineptitude, hiding from us.
It’s all change Paul eh.
Thank god there isn’t a crisis going on at cl just now and we can talk about important matters like players diets. After all didn’t that work out really well for us under Ronny.
Cqn. Not lazy journalism. Just afraid to confront the big issues.
Can’t imagine Keane coming to Celtic for anything less than the top job.
Can’t imagine Lambert coming to Celtic at all. He knows exactly what it’s like up here. Hounded by the press and your family intimidated by the orcs.
Can’t see Martin O’Neill interested in a supervising role.
You either want Keane as manager with 100% of authority or you don’t want him at all.
As Quick News goes, this is the most infuriatingly slow news . I don’t want a half price pizza.

You`re right.
It was.
But I had reached the age of reason by then.
A condition now happily reversed .
Flying Doctors ?
Philistine.
Skippy. No less.
Two days to go till we can win 5 in a row,and not a mention of the game.Sums this blog up now.
Neganon,why dont you p!ss off to another blog if this one of Pauls is so inane and trivial to you?.I am sure they would all love you to come on their blogs and repeat Ad Nauseum,your hatred for PL.You could complain about Paul on there as well.
A complete and utter trumpet.
fritzsong on 28th April 2016 1:41 pm
I don’t doubt that what Paul says is true. But we don’t look demonstrably fitter than any other Scottish side. Some contributors last night commented on the willingness of the Atletico forwards Sprint back to assist the defence. We do nothing like that
————
The inference I took is that some but not all of the players eat and train well.
Therefore it becomes difficult to play the high-intensity, pressing game Ronny wanted.
Hopefully we have more Tierneys coming through to replace the imposters.
weeminger
did you use the word accused.
Fail to see what bearing such little things would have on his ability to perform his job, doll.

If you feel that way , why do you continue to ” contribute ” ?

Tierney would have had a sniff had Izzy & Charlie not been injured, I wouldn’t be holding my breath for any weans coming through now.
Any new manager~coach will want a few bob to spend, so the weans have even less chance, plus the support will demand it.
When the huns died was the time to bring the weans through, it’s too late now, that ship has sailed imo, we blew it.

You’re right he maybe didn’t say those things but resigned without defending himself because he couldn’t be bothered.
However, to answer your second point. It’s ok if we appoint racist, sectarian bigots as long as they’re good at their job. Discrimination is discrimination whatever form it takes and it should be nowhere near Celtic Park.
Ok
