McGregor and managing form of young players

913

If you’ve not been following the work being done in your name in Malawi this week, do so here.  20 people arrived from Scotland early this week on behalf of the Celtic Foundation to renovate six centres which feed children ages five and under.  They are also building a latrine (pretty sure this is a toilet) at one of the centres.

It’s another remarkable testament to the ethos of Celtic 127 years after the project started.

The Foundation are in Malawi with Mary’s Meals, the remarkable Scottish charity which is feeding hundreds of thousands of the world’s poorest children each day.  By careful management of costs, utilisation of volunteers and ‘vocational’ staff, a remarkably high 93% of their revenue reaches those in need on the ground.

Really good to read Callum McGregor speaking to Celtic media.  Not that he had anything particularly illuminating to say, but he was speaking after putting in a training session, confirming his return to fitness.

With the injury to James Forrest, Callum was one of the few bright lights in our early season form, opening the scoring in three consecutive European away games.  He even shone in the inept Murryfield performance against Legia.

At the Hearts game last month I overheard someone suggest Callum needed a rest.  His form had definitely dipped, which is not uncommon after young players sparkly when first breaking into the team.  If he stayed fit there’s little chance he would have been rested for any of the recent games, such has been the form of those around him, so maybe his recent illness came at the right time.

    Typical of the usual troll pond-life mentality. Shift the argument and pose a new question. Crawl back under your rock and give us peace here.

    “I don’t think UKIP are racist – they dislike foreigners of all races.”

     

     

    I don’t think that is right. Take Farange for example. He is married to a German but in an interview with LBC’s James O’Brien the exchange went thus:

     

     

    (Farage had said people wouldn’t want to live next door to Romanians)

     

     

    O’Brien: “What about if a group of German children [moved in]? What’s the difference?”

     

     

    Farage: “You know what the difference is … We want an immigration system based on controlling not only quantity but quality as well.”

    One thing to say about the Labour result in their win. They actually increased their share of the vote. UKIP seem to have taken votes from elsewhere.

    I see the troll is up to his usual tricks

    Name names – Coward.

    I’ve been called a few things in my time but never that.

     

     

    If you think the term “troll” doesn’t apply to the clown from the darkside who is here to infect this blog then I am sorry but you are sorely mistaken.

     

     

    He has been at it for quite some time on here.

     

     

    Now take a guess at who I’m referring to?

  5. “Moonbeams WD. Wee Oscar’s our Bhoy and Kano’s our mhan. The Vow – Critically Rebuked by 45% of this fine nation.”

     

     

     

    Oops, see you’ve made a silly typo, allow me to correct it. ;o)

     

     

    Moonbeams WD. Wee Oscar’s our Bhoy and Kano’s our mhan. The Vow – Critically Rebuked by 44.7% of this fine nation.

     

     

    Yours pedantically.

  6. Snake Plissken….only thing about the 55% sucking it up mate is that the rest of us are gonna have to suck it up aswell..i voted YES and id vote YES tomorrow, and i know that feeling of ‘well thats what you voted for’,but i dont think it helps ,,there are other battles to come and to win them we are gonna need the help of some of the 55%…KTF…

  7. bournesouprecipe

     

     

    I agree. I think Lustig is a fine player but the plaudits he gets on here is a bit over the top. In my opinion he hasn;t been in top form for a while but look forward to him proving that he is back to his best at Dingwall.

    must admit. Nothing surprises me about that.

    You can bracket yourself as either Stupid or Mislead. lol

  10. What is the Stars is probably a troll or a hun, but in fairness his post about Ronny & the Revolver was a joke and a funny one at that and BMCUW’s response was also witty. I do think we need to keep our sense of humour even in this politically correct world.

  11. McCourt for 7. Depends on which side of the sea you are pal, in Ireland its the Prods are called left footers.

    First Celtic book I ever read? The big shot, by Tommy Gemmell. Must have been when I was about 13? Oh I dunno, maybe 1971/72??. Was a Christmas pressie I think, or a birthday.

     

     

    *read it on a flight the first time I emigrated (have emigrated twice) in 1968.

    Wits is neither a hun nor a troll.

     

     

    He is a very naughty bhoy…..

    See, here is where I’m getting confused/paranoid, not a lot of comments and the troll comment comes out, I think you are talking about me, can you put my mind at ease and just name the person.

  15. ChippyBhoy, You will need to change your username first, chips are persona non grata in official circles these days.

  16. So the hun troll is out to lunch. Funny that.

     

     

    The day a hun troll can match WITS (see what I did there and what his non de plume is about) with a sensible Tim will see hell freeze over first.

     

     

    I’m sorry some don’t see it

    Au contraire. You’re a very intelligent electrician.

     

     

    Defo a bright spark.

  18. McCourt for 7……you just named Celtics strongest team (particularly for Europe)!!

     

     

    No Stokes or Commons though so Deila would get pelters for playing it!!

  19. petec, I imagine he was talking about What is the Stars, however BT has since stated that WITS is a Tim and just taking the pish. If BT says he is a Tim, then that is good enough for me.

  20. Corkcelt,

     

     

    very good – an old nickname from my inability to “chip” when playing golf…

     

     

    cheers BT.

    My apologies Pete if you thought that was directed at you. It certainly wasn’t.

     

     

    The troll in question jumped in straight away and then said he was for the off but something tells me he is still around judging by the smell.

  22. pedrocaravanachio67 on

    WITS has been posting on here for yonks…..no a hun nor a troll. He doesn’t need me or BT to defend him.

     

     

    He is a naughty bhoy, but a naughty bhoy, i happen to agree with.

    You reckon this clown is a Tim? Give me a minute or two

  25. Looks a lot like Che Guevara on

    KDC – Heard a great story after Lubo signed. A Deid club supporter was mocking the fact that Jock Brown had mentioned to his physio that Lubo he had been training and apparently no one knew which foot he kicked with. The implication was he was a donkey who couldn’t kick with any foot! Probably loses a bit in the telling but makes me smile :)

  26. BMCUW,

     

     

    Google can be used to settle many debates. To base an opinion as fact by googling ” Are UKIP racist” will bring the answer you desire.

     

     

    Try googling ” Are the SNP racist” .

     

     

    Just what has happened since the referendum :

     

     

    The Oil price has dropped below $90 blowing Wee Eck’s economic arguement out of the water ( No pun intended )

     

     

    The 3rd biggest operator the Apache corporation are pulling the plug on its North Sea operation. ( If it can sell them )

     

     

    The Scottish government has promoted Scottish business by axing Scotrail and awarding the mega bucks contract to a Dutch national rail provided.

     

     

    We are now using our tax powers for change. ie Stamp Duty alternative.

     

     

    The referendum is over, lets move on and build together. Only Elephants never forget, and good CQN’ers are no trumpets.

    We desperately need some intelligence in the Centre of the Celtic Midfield.

    my very naughty bhoy was the kife of brian quote, not my own….8-)

     

     

     

    I haven’t met wits personally but he has been to racing with oldtim and tnt…

     

     

    Corkie, he is a Dub so that maybe the reason he behaves so…

  29. @niallo83

     

     

    Thanks!

     

     

    Can you start a groundswell for me to get the managers job next? My contract runs out here at the end of December so there is no buyout required.

     

     

    I also promise to buy some players who kick with their right foot for the Irish fans.
