Ronny introduces an edge on Celtic languid style

558

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.

Funds are going towards the Cookie Jar Foundation and Glasgow the Caring City.  Many thanks for your fantastic help.

    I tend to very sceptical about any poster who puts FACT after every sentence and no links to back up their so called facts, especially when you know 1or2 of their facts are absute rubbish.

  2. Rumours on thems and the tax case are a 50/50 hit, to be honest I’d wait and see what comes out of it, it’s all supposition and an even money bet, in my opinion, as far as I’m concerned I couldent give a tinkers feck one way or the other, no one is going to be paying any thing back, of that you can be rest assured.

  3. eddieinkirkmichael on

    Tony it’s about a lot more than paying money back. If they win case it means they can claim they were victims, no titles wee won by dishonest means etc.

    No matter what the result is they will pull the victim card, they where liquidated but they’re still here…….they claim, and well backed by the SMSM and other media outlets all over the uk, trust me it’s a nothing, and the no titles deal is over two, they get to keep them I know it’s not right, you know it’s not right, but it’s a done deal as far as the rest go they’ve done nothing wrong………….ALLEGEDLY .

    Good morning Jobo,

     

    Tuesday mornings are meant for golf at Bothwell Castle.

     

    Home for midday, spot of gardening, make birthday lunch for Mrs EC67, then watch Ronny’s bhoys on Celtic TV before heading out for birthday bash later.

     

    Semi retirement could be worse.

  12. Morning all. Fair to middling down here. Could go either way, weather-wise.

     

     

    Any word on the question of the banning of the oo as asked by the Record? I’m fairly sure the result was arranged before the question was put.

    Do you take a rag tabloid like the DR seriously ?

  14. Good morning CQN from a grey and raining Auld Reekie.

     

     

    My day starts with a visit to the dentist to have 4 teeth pulled. Not looking forward to that at all, even if my dentist is gorgeous with a very soothing voice.

     

     

    Has to be done I suppose.

  15. I know there are reservations over this project it will still be interesting to see the finished product

    If you want to play Dunblane New Golf Course (almost perth) then give me a shout HH

  18. The Daily Gleaner is never mentioned on here because we really don`t care what it writes. The Daily record is often mentioned on here……….because we do care what it writes. We know we shouldn`t but we do. Incidentally, the `we` is not all inclusive. Decide for yourself if it still makes you angry or if you really do accept then dismiss its feeble minded bias.

    Morning Tims, I’ve not been on the blog since the weekend and what a weekend it was too:-). Big shout to Taggsybhoy, BlantyreKev and Tiny Tim for their organisational skills for the golf and pool respectively. Lots of money raised for very deserving causes. TT, I have a further £20 raised for the bands TET donated which came in after you made off with your well earned trophy. Let me know how to get this to you. Thanks also to everyone who bought the bands provided by TET and thanks to TET for his kind donation.

     

     

    Hail Hail Celtic men and wummin.

    Yeah, thats right – morons.

     

     

    Yip, the same morons who gathered roon Phil Macs

     

     

    table looking for news about the huns, eh?

     

     

    Phil Mac was nobodies fool, no not him.

     

     

    He new that, deep in his own heart that, the huns

     

     

    would never be completley obliterated but, he was canny

     

     

    enough to rush to press and have his – Downfall book printed, eh?

     

     

    Phil Mac knows that, folk would get fed up waiting for the huns to

     

     

    ‘finally’ be gone but, Phil is cute enough to know that ‘nobody’ has

     

     

    the balls to pull the trigger, eh?

     

     

    Maybe, if Phil was so investigative….he’d be able to shine some light

     

     

    onto the extent of collusion that has gone on with the Celtic ‘bored’ and

     

     

    the hun-establishment, eh?

     

     

    Or was that not in the brown envelope he received from Celtic Park, eh?

     

     

    CQN et al….has more ‘lazy’ journalists than the SMSM. imho

     

     

    When Gerry McNee hung-up his pen, the ‘truth’ about the Celtic – died!!!

     

     

    IMHO.

     

     

    Off oot, bye.

    Lithuanian ace Marius Zaliuska is hoping to earn a lucrative season long deal after starring in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Highland aces Broara Rangers.

     

     

    Zaliuska also has offers on the table from a number of leading continental sides but is believed to be willing to accept a lesser financial deal in order to fulfill a long time desire to play alongside Lee McCulloch and Bilel Moshni with the added bonus of being coached by McCoist.

     

     

     

    JOE MCHUGH VIDEO CELTS at his brilliant best.

    There is as much evidence for the assertions you make about Phil as there are in the DR`s ` exclusives`.

    As i said we used to have some wonderful contributors on the big issues of the day, football et all

     

     

    Now we have Kev Bungle………………………………………Moron

     

     

    No one should detract from Phil Mac and other internet bampots for their pioneering investigative work on the biggest story ever to hit Scottish football, i am very grateful to the hours, weeks and months that the internet bambots put into revealing the truth regarding the big cover up

     

     

    Of course you did read it all and still do in that last bastion of honest journalism the DR

  25. Ulsan/Black Isle Celt on

    Wow, a player hoping for a lucrative deal after “starring” in a draw with Brora. I can’t help smiling at that.

    The reports of a paedophile ring operating at Westminster during the 1980s are truly chilling. It looks like the cat is out of the bag and we can expect a series of horrible stories involving MPs and even cabinet ministers. Let’s see what all this does for the legacy of the prominent politicians of that era.

  27. Is this languid style, referring to the same Celtic side that just won the title by a landslide?

     

    How can that be?

     

     

    Are we seriously claiming that despite winning the title by a bucket load that we were weak and slow, or unhurried?

     

     

    we only lost 1 single league game!

     

     

    Come on…..

  28. Tamrabam

     

     

    Maybe the coach wants to make sure the paying customer is getting 100% effort from the team! nothing wrong with that or last seasons efforts! he is only telling it as he sees it! that’s his job and he should be left to do it, in my opinion ;)

    Money laundering? Surely the fraud squad should be looking at transfer deals like this. On what planet is Ross McCormack worth £5m let alone £11m? Especially when the buyer is a Championship club!!
