Yesterday’s win at Fir Park was huge for Celtic’s season but we should caution against talk of a corner being turned. The team possessed the resilience (and Irish magician) to come from behind and beat the team who were second in the league, but we have been here before.
The Motherwell goal will cause Neil Lennon particular concern. After losing a goal to an early corner kick against Rennes on Thursday, it seems impossible to believe that the team switched off at another corner kick, but only Beram Kayal was alert to the threat of Motherwell taking a short corner, and he was already covering a threat.
Organisational discipline is as important as having better players to the outcome of many football games.

Kojo, you may live far away in Americae but you sure know what’s going on around Celtic Park.
CELTIC are unlikely to face Sion again in the Europa League.
If CAS rule in favour of the Swiss club, a number of possible scenarios have been considered, including starting Group I from scratch.
But after meeting with Uefa, Sion believe they will be brought back in at the knock-out stage, with one tie becoming a group of three, the winner of which will progress to the last 16.
Ard Macha –
for at least acknowledging my existence you are indeed forgiven ;-)
Went to the fist home game against Barca and thoroughly enjoyed it but I have a prior engagement tonight providing the music at the ole Chapel.

The coaching of children /adolescents in Italy —–
Largely based on the ideas of German sports academic Horst Wein ——-fun , train with the ball , zonal system , pass and move etc .
The Italian Football authorities have expressed great concern that Italian school teams / youth teams / amateur teams etc are regularly humped by teams made up of relatively un-coached immigrants from China / Bangladesh / The Balkans / The Horn of Africa and the Maghreb —
There ain’t much integration / multiculturalism in Italy.
Stinkin’ badges!

Just a few things I have heard leads me putting 2 + 2 together and coming up with 5.
I could be way, way out with my observations, and I think the outcome of the tax case will have a major bearing, assuming they lose the case, I believe a full scale assault on the relevant authorities will be swung into motion for our escape.
I heard something along the lines of escape being the preffered option [for all concerned] as oposed to court cases.
The things you hear on a golf course…

First opportunity since Saturday night to post.
I would like to post my thanks to hamiltontim for excellent night, company and Band were excellent. A truly great night amongst my Celtic family.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!

If Celtic make the knockout stage and end up in the group of three with Sion, it could mean an extra two European matches to make the last sixteen or possibly four if it’s home and away fixtures?
Watched the “editted” highlights on BBC. Incredible. Apart from the sending off, you would have thought the home team were a bunch of angels, not hell’s angels.

may see you at the game. Bit early to be heading there; You wouldn’t be lining your throat with some particularly smoth wet cold beer would you?
I will

Sounds sensible to me.
You don’t appear to be coaching tactics per se, but actually addressing the problem inherent when you watch children play football.
That is, they all run after the ball. No matter where the ball goes, they charge after it.
I wish somebody would introduce that method at Lennoxtown. How often do you see our man in possession isolated from his teammates?
TET
God its painful to hear that. Jesus our kids still have adults either rollocking them or constantly telling them what to do. My son’s coach is progressive though – quiet. everyone gets a game, doesn’t matter if they win or lose, works on skills and strategy. The other teams – shouted at, a bit of effort gets rewards, ‘welly it son’ is often heard. England will never win anything while they have this culture and the EPl is full of money.
Passing and moving is something our team lacks.
We are often told our players have no technique when the reality is they have few passing options.
The opposite is true of Barcelona when they have possession their player usually has a minimum of 3 options as they move in exprectation of pass.
They could be described as a proactive team while we are reactive.
Easy to see which one is more effective.

No. Heading to pick 2 nephews up then go via the shops for sweets & juice etc.

you are right there are a lot of failed football superstars out there with badges reliving the dream.
I am not one of them.
Kids DO enjoy structured play however so what is the harm in giving them a set of ‘rules’ to follow that allow them to enjoy their ‘game’ better and score more goals than their opposition.
Playing football should be fun but there is no fun in losing.
As I said the Spanish and Dutch have been doing it for years and is doing them no harm.
What have you got against trying to teach kids a better way of playing if the coaches are coaching properly.
What you are basically arguing for is a better MONITORING system.
I would agree with that.
Don’t know enough to say anything about how to coach lhads but anything which inculcates the value of “pass and move” has to be going in the right direction.

You are course correct that you now need badges to satisfy the SFA but in my opinion,for what its worth,the Largs Mafia is the reason our standards have dropped.Slan
Sun Tsu says “He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight. He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces. He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks. He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared. He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.”
Still appropriate in todays world methinks!

Thank you for the reply.
I am disappointed that it isn’t a fact and is merely a judgemental assumption.(;-)

TET – Good tae see you posting amigo, i had a similar experience to you while watching the game on Sunday. My lovely wee daughter Clare couldn’t believe her “usually sane” dad was going completely mental and swearing at his computer:)
Good news is we don’t have a game for 2 weeks so we can calm doon in the meantime:0).
The good news is i’m back on the old Rioja which as you know, helps with calming doon the nerves and other things. I’m also enjoying the last few golf games of the year before the snow comes and the baw is completely up a dyke; game still up and doon like a set o cacks but enjoying it nonetheless.
BT – if yer looking in, i hope your back is better amigo and yer able tae lift a pint or two.
PFAyr – I trust you were going mental watching the game Sunday; I know ye too well:)
WDH – I see things were a bit cloudy for you this morning; stay away from Sharky’s and Estadio:)

‘Kids DO enjoy structured play’
Do they?
Is it not more likely is that the ones who turn up at a structured event, in a structured system, within a structured timetable, with all their structured gear, pying their structured fees are the ones who enjoy structured play and the ones who don’t, don’t?

Stamina work and football dont go and if you all let me expand I’ll tell you why…
Traditional thinking teaches us about the ‘fitness triangle’
At the base of the triangle we have a large AEROBIC BASE
The middle section of the triangle is the LACTIC ACID/KREBS CYCLE
The smallest section (teh peak) is your ANAEROBIC ZONE
Traditional thinking tells us if we increase the base of the triangle we SHOULD increase the other two areas.
Right?
WRONG!

Encouraging sounds on news there re Rtc.. ” HMRC may wish to make Rangers an example like Ken Dodd and Lester Piggot” from an accountant.. Moreover HMRC said they cannot be responsible for the solvency of a company who do not seek to pay their due taxes…
Plus am I the only one spooked by Whytes bulging eyes.. It s like one of those wee marsupial creatures .. Not sure what marsupial means anymore but I hope it makes me look like I know the score.. Anyway .. The eyes.. Scary…
