Ronny Deila introduced an interesting edge following yesterday’s preseason friendly against Rapid Vienna, saying his players’ “body language wasn’t good. I can accept not playing well but the most important thing has to be the attitude and that was lacking”.
Noting a “lack of energy and that players “looked tired” is par for the course at this time of year but adding “we need to do something with their attitude” gives you an indication of what is expected of the players this season.
Celtic players have for a while now been criticised, fairly or otherwise, for languid body language. Caught between Premiership games against teams they are vastly better than, and Champions League games they need to raise performances for, coaches would need to work hard to raise the heartbeat for domestic football. I suspect its’ this Ronny was targeting, instead of a preseason warm-up.
Does anyone know how to stretch hamstrings prior to kicking the ball? It’s incredible that professional footballers, and Celtic players in particular, are so commonly afflicted by this injury. All it takes is one incomplete warm-up routine and a player is out of action for weeks.
Bids for the European Cup canvass, signed by Billy McNeill, close shortly after noon today. Keep an eye on the action here. You can buy a raffle ticket for the second canvass for as little as £1 here.

Don’t be daft…:)
Got more than my money back from Enstein’s Folly…:)
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
Leftclick – your dad was spot on. If a chap has a good da he does eventually turn in to a version of him.
Can someone fill me in here, now Im in my late 50s, since when was their walk portrayed as a “cultural day out”, or” a family day’ for all religions?

Ps, or have I been sleeping all these years
gordybhoy64- thanks for reply mate
BT – cheers

There was 5 non runners, they must have withdrawn after they had declared, I think at least a couple of them were shorter odds than our wan, hence Rule 4.
They get you every which way, as I said, turds.

Glad you liked them.
I have been working on a few other things for when ACGR gets back, I have some quality bracelets with Green, White and Yellow stones in a leather wrap, and Green and white stones, they look the biz.
I haven’t got them up on my Etsy shop yet, camera wisy charged up, should be up in the next few days.

clogher celt,
Sorry to here about your wife and daughters horrific experience, there is a definite ongoing cover up as regards the knuckle draggers.
Even with the internet and u tube it’s still being whitewashed.
The comments from Hyde about it being a parade is a joke and should be challenged…sick of it. HH
Screwed by Ladbrokes tonight. Looks like a R4 will do me over.
Big time.
It shan’t happen again.

Thanks for sharing. Sleep well.

Celtic win tours de France. This is funny

pintaguinness,
Is that Doc? :)
Som mes que un club
Not wanting to be seen to stick up for the bookies,
but the rule4 is in place as everyone betting non runners has to have their money refunded therefore it is not reasonable to expect those who bet the winner to be paid at full odds,only way that would happen would be if those betting non runners didn’t get their stake back

Now that T in the Park is relocating to Gleneagles, why do the Orange culture lovers not hire Balado field, and they can bang their drums and march to their hearts content in the mud.
Som mes que un club
Cheers!! Recouped my losses on the WC 1/4 finals – had 2 roll-ups running (preference was a CR win) – disastrous 0-0 gubbed both lines.
Cyber pint in the tap – real thing if we meet at a CQN event.
H!H!
Until we meet again…
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
DD,
They could just parade! In ipox like they always did in the past.
If my memory serves right, sourness put paid to that and when he left thems were allowed in again for a spell.
Now it’s just called forces day…a slur on my forefathers that fought and died in the ww1, ww2.
That’s another one that sticks in my craw.
DD
good to see no OO parades in our town on saturday

My Grandfather came to Scotland from Poland in 1940 to protect this Island during The Battle of Britain. After the war, he settled in Glasgow. He changed his name in order to gain employment, sadly.
Billy Bhoy05’s post earlier tonight was accurate and from a recognised expert in oil reserves, please read, surprisingly it is from a report in the the Sunday Times

Also fully agree with Jungle Jim20:15
“During the last quarter or so of last season, a feeling grew in me that Virgil van Djik would not continue to perform at the high level he had reached.”
Feel if he responds to Ronny he will be a great player but somehow feel he may be too ‘lazy’ to make that grade. hope I am wrong as he has all the attributes to be among the best.

Aye, poor BT got the gull whackers in Blantyre.
We got the Lisbon Lions in Clydebank Shopping Centre. :))

Say hello to Jinky

So Celtic were languid under Lennon.
I did not know that.
And VVD is lazy
Changed days
I did not know that
And Pukki is Brazilian material these days.
I did not know that
CQN is always educational

Languid perhaps not. But we lacked energy, passion and seemed to lack motivation at times.
DD,
I mind you mentioned that at the pool.
My wee mates Dad did the same during the war, his name is Bogacki. I was in the Polish club several times with them years ago.
Mick has had a table in the No7 for years now, which I frequent a few times a season, I’m sure he would like to meet you and swap stories.
And not just the players.
Who else we trying to flog to the EPL?
DD
aye I was raging that I couldn’t get down to get some books autographed,
was working all day in sunny Ayrshire

So under Lennon Celtic lacked energy, passion and motivation.
I did not know that.
I do know that in the CL for example Celtic were shite. Not so much a lack of energy, passion and motivation more of a lack of quality.
I wonder why NFL really left?

He must be looking at Cifti at DU. He wd be a great signing for Celtic.
Interesting programme on the beeb about joint enterprise crime,not sure of my view on it to be honest

I was in Kirkcaldy at the Pool Tourney.
I am working in sunny Kilmarnock this week.

You watched last season. We lacked passion, energy in several games, notably the cup games. The CL was too much for the team in my opinion. We posses little creative threat and faced daunting opponents.
