Prevailing attitude of hunger

1428

Judging by these quotes, John Guidetti may just be the most excited footballer on the planet right now:

“I’m just going to work my socks off…. do my absolute very best…. give 100%.

“The one thing I hate more than anything is losing. I can’t stand it.

“For 90 minutes I am always giving everything.

“You can always expect 100% from your players and I’m going to give that [note the repetition of this assertion].

“I promise I’ll do my very best to do even a little bit of what [Henrik] did.

“Football without fans is nothing, it’s not worth it for me.”

There is a common theme across a few players who joined this summer, they have something to prove.  Guidetti, Mubarak and Tonev each had a difficult time last season, for varying reasons.  They need to hit the mark, whether it’s through form (Tonev), fitness (Guidetti) or simply being able to play in an environment which is remotely normal (Mubarak).

Scepovic is different.  He arrives with the wind at his back, but the prevailing attitude at Lennoxtown should be one of hunger. I suspect this contrasts starkly with last year’s arrivals.

  1. Sevco defence sounds pure mince. Everything’s peachy and jam tomorrow. It’s as if they’re not even trying.

     

    Is this because:

     

    1) They know in scotland they are above the law, therefore they don’t have to.

     

    2) They know they’re fecked!

  2. COURT ROOM DRAMA

     

     

    Imran wins – judge ring fences his £500,000 as RIFC may go bust!!!!!!!

  3. Lord Stewart has found in favour of Imran Ahmed and that some of the assets should be ring fenced #bbcsportscot

  4. No doubt those who think we should only talk of Celtic on CQN have a point but I am glad those who have told us of the CoS decision have ignored that opinion 0:-)

     

     

    JJ

  5. They might as well go into Admin right now…Whoops! Too late. Ahmad’s money already ringfenced. At least the sales staff TUPEd over to Sports Direct this morning will be employees of Sports Direct and not creditors of Rangers…on reflection, don’t know if that’s a good thing

  6. Rangers QC seeks leave to appeal saying there has been ‘an error of law’. Or did he say ‘error of Lodge’?

  7. Ahmad due 5% of all rangers commercial contracts he negotiated, whatever that is defined by.

     

    martin bain did same thing few years ago – RFC liquidated a few months later

     

     

    Serious serious stuff for the teddy bears

  8. Brogan Rogan Trevino and Hogan supports Oscar Knox, MacKenzie Furniss and anyone else who fights Neuroblastoma on

    So go on, ask yourself this then.

     

     

    It took two days or more for Fifa to ratify the signing of Guidetti.

     

     

    Two days to have him confirmed as being eligible to play for Celtic, but still too late to have him included for the Europa league Group stages.

     

     

    Now, the question has to be asked: Why?

     

     

    You see the SFA might have taken the view that they were unsure of what to do and so did nothing till Fifa said it was ok.

     

     

    That might at first appear reasonable.

     

     

    But then the SPFL just went ahead and registered him in a jiffy. I wonder why?

     

     

    Part of me says that if Man City and Celtic had sent in the paperwork timeously ( which they did ), and then Celtic sought an extension timeously so as to be able to lodge release papers from Stoke city as requested by the SFA ( which they did ), and then Stoke city ultimately delivered the appropriate release papers ( which they did ) — then why not just register the bloody player as perhaps happens elsewhere and deal with any potential problem when someone raises it– if they ever do?

     

     

    There are such things as positive management practices and there are such things as negative management practices.

     

     

    Then again some people just chew a caramel with their arse.

  9. glendalystonsils on

    I read a magazine article in the dentist’s the other day about the practice in some parts of China of imprisoning bears for their bile.Some Chinese consider bear bile to be strong medicine so they attach a tube to the bear’s bile duct to drain off bile. This leads to the bear being weakened, becoming deformed and eventually dying a painful death…..

     

     

    bears……. bile………. drained of their life force………… dying a slow humiliating death………..

     

     

    It reminded me of something but ,for the life of me, I couldn’t remember what……………….

  10. Watched a Re-Run of the recent Game agin the Spaniards.

     

     

    Like Ah said..miny a time ,oan here..

    Awe the Spanish attacking Moves…

     

     

    Came doon Wan o’ the Wings..

     

     

    Maistly, the thur Left Wing.. oor, Right.

     

     

    Did You notice, that?

     

     

    Sure , ye did!

     

     

    Celtic,n Ah am referring tae oor First Eleven,noo…

    Even the Maist Gifted of Strikers, will hiv a difficulty ..in .. well. Striking..

     

     

    If He is being Starved of Service.

     

     

    The Real Reason why we hiv bin so Toofless ,in attack..

     

     

    Is Because…

     

     

    we hiv.. almost..

     

     

    Exclusively..

     

     

    bin relying oan the Big Hoof up the Middle..or.. Using Wan o oor Fullbacks..

    Is..

     

     

    Essay a.. well. Effective.. well.. Cross,into oor Opponents’ Penalty Boax.

     

     

    The Upshot, being..

     

     

    .. we hiv Bin

     

    severely Handicapped, Because of oor Lack o’ “Wing Power.”

     

     

    We Miss . Forrest.. Big Time.. He wiz a Real Danger Man..fur us..

     

     

    We Miss.. (even) Sammi’s Ganglin’ , Runs doon the Wing…

     

     

    Sammi, did win a Few Euro games fur us..no doot..

     

     

    He wiz a Danger..

     

     

    Again.. He wiz a Winger.

     

     

    So.. Celtic,of course, Knew awe aboot oor Lack of hivin’ a Creditable Attacking Winger(S)

     

     

    So.. they, The poor Blighters.. tried tae Rectify this.

     

     

    They wur ,only, too keenly aware of being faced by the Loss of Young Jamesie..

     

    n..the Disappearance of Sammi..

     

     

    But..

     

     

    They, boobed, big time.. When they Signed that lazy, fitless.. n Heart-Less..

     

     

    Son of t a Lady Dug.. Boerrigeter.

     

     

    Whit a Mess…n.. Mair tae the Point..

     

     

    Whit a Waste of Time… N.. MONEY!

     

     

    n .. We never Did Manage tae bring in a Capable replacement fur the loss of Wee Jamesie.

     

     

    n..so we Suffered the Consequences..

     

     

    Yes, Virginia.. We hiv bin Looking fur a Striker.. when We should hiv bin

     

     

    Mair Interested in Bringin in Two Effective Wingers..

    ‘Ernie, you actually sound like a Tory. And parrot all their arguments against self-determination for Scotland.’

     

     

    Self determination? Currency union with the UK and therefore monetary policy controlled by the Bank of England, membership of the eu, and membership of NATO. Aye, very good.

     

     

     

    ‘I hope it happens and I hope we turn this place around. Imagine leaving behind the House of Lords?’

     

     

    That Doreen Lawrence is a stuck up cow right enough.

     

     

    ‘Getting a written constitution guaranteeing our rights’

     

     

    Because of course we don’t have any guaranteed rights at the moment, do we? And countries with written constitutions are all beacons of freedom and justice.

     

     

    ‘as well as a publicly owned NHS?’

     

     

    Yeah that would make a change. A publicly owned NHS. Because we don’t have that at the moment.

    A comment he had to make

     

    ——

     

    Bit of a strange fish is ole Angus. Hope he refuses leave to appeal.

  13. Could that decision not suit the case for administration…blame Ahmed, it wisnae oor fault, it was him that caused it.

     

     

    Clear out time….manager!, players and staff that haven’t as yet tuped.

  14. Don’t know if already posted haven’t got the time to scroll back

     

     

    Saw that somebody was posting from Salzburg last night looking for an indication of how many Celtic supporters were travelling over there

     

     

    Not many it would seem. E-mails sent out today cancelling the Celtic Travel Club flight seems there was a lack of interest. Wonder if £450 for the day trip had something to do with it

     

     

    Seem that not every Celtic Supporter is embracing the Europa League
