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.

The lack of quality you refer to is down to one thing and one thing only £.
Mags.
If you watched us over the last couple of seasons and didn’t think we were pretty flat at times and lacking in sharpness then you’re an even bigger happy clapper than me! :-) and that’s saying something!

What does the new manager do after the NL brigade and board spend 5 million on Balde Pukki and the Dutchman ?
This child abuse is absolutely reprehensible …… The Law now needs to relentlessly pursue each and every case, no matter where it leads …….. I cannot believe it was covered up for so long ….. Sad, sad World
Shit, need to iron my gear for the holiday now, eight cans later than intended.
At least the kids do their own now ;))
Mags, let’s see how it pans out for a while, although, I see where you are coming from.

He works with them to improve them ‘towards’ the performances of most of NEIL’s signings …. can you remind me of any managers who didn’t make any bad signings..?

This Westminster ring, if true, is beyond sinister and evil. I suspect sacrifice and ritual. Sick to pit of my stomach, contemplating this story.

Where you going that needs clothes ironed?!?
And you’re ill advised to iron your CQN budgie smugglers don’t ye know!!!

I don’t reckon Lenny make any bad signings.

Well maybe. In my opinion it’s to do with the quality of players. When they have served their Celtic apprenticeship or ask for a pay raise it’s the end of them.
So Celtic are left with mediocrity + some new hopes.
We’ll find out in the next few months how the Celtic vision pans out.
Don’t hold your breath.
I like Pukki. There’s a player there and I have a feeling he’s going to thrive under the new regime. Derk and Balde are not going to make it though
Mags
I agree with you often and pretty completely. So too on this. Just wanted to pull your leg a wee bit. And/but I would have liked to have seen us hitting the heights more often than we have over the last couple of years.

It was great thanks Fhriend. The old ruskies at the buffet grab the last kebab as though it was a Ukrainian Black Sea port!
The Turkish kids who worked there were a bunch a sweeties who retained good grace throughout.
Quietly Tim-tastic with one lhad introducing my son to his dad claiming he was Hoopy the Hound! I’m an idealistic soul so I’m going to believe it. And another who either had the Hoops on his chest or when topless had the Huddle tattooed across his shoulders!
35 degrees. Too hot for whitey me so I had to stay oot the rays. Went back to work today with my wee pink face matching my pink shirt!!!

Stick them in your case – rinse them through when you get there then stick them in the trouser-press – works a treat! :-)
jamesgang,
Italy, the land of the long legged birds according to Tallybhoy… I’ll probably not notice the spectacular monuments if that is the case….I’ve sacked the ironing until tomorrow morning:))
Jamesgang
aye I have been down that area of Turkey myself and the Russians certainly make the most of the all inclusive,the good thing about it being too warm is that you can sit at the pool bar with a nice cold beer and no one can complain
Sips
Enjoy. Expect folk just to start talking to you in italian you handsome devil. But you’ll no get away with crumpled stay press right enough!

First time in an all inclusive. Weirded me out for most of the week. Then just as I got used to it we came home and I felt robbed when I had to pay for a KFC on the way back from Manchester! Free beers and cocktails. I got the gang of them quite quickly!
Shower time Timdom.

praecepta,
Good idea but you’ve not met my daughter yet, she is so organised and doesn’t let me off the hook that easily.
I’ll do it in the morning mate as promised to my bullying daughter. :)

Oh dear suddenly wee kris our top goal scorer last year is overweight and on his way out .. Dearie me get a grip FFs

some players will flourish under the new regime; others will diminish.
I hope the new manager will demand 100% from his charges. I don’t think Neil got that. the defeat to Aberdeen in the Scottish cup bemused me. 7 days prior the sheep had attacked our manager. At the game Celtic (the entire club players and support) seemed unmoved by their bile.
During the defeat we remained that way. In fact the sheep acted as if it was they who had the axe to grind.
“If you have a lack of intensity you are not going to be at a club like Celtic. It’s something that we need to change quickly.”
Welcome to the world of Ronny Deila.
This could be the start of something very special.
Would everyone please chill ? We have a new management team in place. CM , KC and AS will all be given a chance and will probably do well. Neil did well…….but remember that Thommo and Johan, like Neil, came into the jobs with NO real experience. They did fine, all things considered.
We have a brand new experienced management in place. The best players will find spots. Big Jock had some slow players, but terrific in the side. Bobby Murdoch, Bertie Auld were not quick but could read and control the game, allowing the quick guys to perform I.e Lennox, Chalmers, the full backs.
Give all the players and management a chance
Where have all the seagulls gone?
Celts and fans forever
Well said westies hh

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
http://www.businessforscotland.co.uk/professor-westminster-is-ignoring-a-mountain-of-black-gold/
===
Business for Scotland = Cybernat Pravda & fox news . I hold a mid level operational planning position (drilling and completions) with one of the oil majors, there are no accessible or economically viable FACT. The major players are pulling out of the North Sea – FACT. Oil production from the N Sea has been in decline for years FACT. The N Sea infrastructure requires huge amounts of cash to be spent to replace aging infrastructure otherwise production will continue to decline FACT. Leading experts predict a decline in oil prices for the next few years, leading experts OPEC have already stated that the viable economic North sea fields are rapidly depleting. By why let facts get in the way or spin.
darn
should read there are no easily accessible or economically viable reserves in the N sea otherwise they would already be exploited FACT
Feguckeggoff with your free country shegite! See awe youse guys that are proposing the Yes vote; please look at your next door neighbours eh! The mask slips… ‘happy to help with painting the close, lift to the shops and tidying the garden but hey I know that you are a Tim, no problem eh! ‘but you know the thing I/we hate about the Catholic church is this abuse stuff’… So happy to leave this shite behind me! Sickened! I would love that independence meant a real republic with nationalisation of the transport, gas, water, electrical systems, etc., My first and last post re… TBM
Sorry if that wee note never made sense to some… Anyhow, looking forward to cracking a glass or seven with the great and the good in KoSC on Saturday… Regards & Hail Hail… TBM
