Some perspective first. Ronny Deila, manager of Norwegian champions Stromsgodset, is not about to be appointed Celtic manager. He does, meet the criteria, unlike the various one-season wonders cast aside from the English Premier League. I believe there are two other strong candidates, Ronny has no pre-eminence at this stage, but unlike the various ‘favourites’ who have appeared in recent times, at least he is a genuine possibility.
Stefan Johansen worked under Ronny immediately before joining Celtic, which gave club scouts an insight into the coach’s style of play. Stromsgodset are predominantly an attacking team, who press high up the field and pass quickly.
His players are dedicated athletes or they don’t remain his players for very long. He is also one of the game’s intellectuals, a former teacher – and what I’ve been asking for since Neil resigned – a student of the game. His attitude to his own role is one of continual professional development.
Ronny has a track record of improving players and improving teams. He is not a brand name, nor a shareholder’s whim. He is not being considered because he’s ‘pals with Peter and out of a job’.
Please bear in mind………..
Ronny Deila is only one of three genuine contenders Celtic are considering at the moment but all three match the same criteria. They are intelligent, technically adept, progressive, winners. Which has made me more excited than any of the names suggested so far.

If Ronny gets the job , much as I like the idea of John Collins as his asst, would he not want to pick his own man ? And what is his link to Kenny Sansom?
Typo….. Off work not of work …,
Jinks.
Condolences for your loss.
Your son sounds a fine bhoy!!
U must be very proud !
John Collins? Hope not, I’ve had previous with him, he doesent get Celtic,.
Pompous Arrogant man.
Then his new fans, most of whom , had never heard of him until yesterday, tell us that he is a scholar of the game, I wonder how many modern managers aren’t nowadays and I sincerely hope he isn’t scholarly in the Craig Brown and Andy Roxburgh mould, who I blame for starting the decline of the modern day Scotland international side to the lowest standards in decades.

You know what, the older I get and the more I witness loved ones depart this earth, the more I start to appreciate what I have. I mentioned yesterday that my aunt passed last night. She was my dad’s last surviving family member. 14 brothers and sisters all now gone, 14 Celtic lovers and 14 of the nicest people who ever walked this earth. My dad passed first at a young age, and that was 36 years ago. Since then, it’s been pretty much saying goodbye to someone once every couple of years. 16 years ago, my dearly loved brother, my best friend, also passed at a very young age. The happiest memories I have of all of those people, are entwined with Celtic moments. 1967, 9 in a row, supporters bus jaunts, foreign exploits, ups and downs, swings and roundabouts.
I think I’ve started to get too engrossed in the politics of football. For one thing, I’m not clever enough to understand it fully, and more relevant, I’m getting older. I’m passing up the opportunity to fully enjoy my team, my club, family and friends, by concerning myself with transfer policies, managerial appointments, Sevco etc.
Perhaps a selfish approach, but I’m taking my ticket back out, and I’m going to enjoy the time I have left on this earth watching my team.
Perhaps yesterday’s sad passing renders this as emotional claptrap to some, and I can understand that, I don’t care. I’m going back to my roots………..and happy clapping.

Tamrabam,
See my comments above. Would you take Solskjaer or Uwe Rossler now that they have tasted a full English at the cliff edge of the Epl?
I would wager that any of those Norewgian top league teams would give Celtic a better game than Aberdeen or Motherwell. Hell we could get them in the Champions League. Lets hope if we do we fair better than our last games against Rosenborg.
Celtic spend £50m on fitness per year really? Is that we’re the Uefa cup money went?

Just booked my room at the hotel for the Styx Pool tournie. Looks like there is only 4 single rooms left, although there are a few doubles for those that are feeling lucky (it is a bit of club by the looks of it), or taking partners.:D
I will be driving from Dumbarton, so I can give a lift there to the venue, and back for those that stay overnight.
———————————
Morning folks
petec
I booked a room last night in the Victoria.
May i be so bold as to put myself forward to fill 1 of those spaces in your vehicle?
I am in Bonnybridge but if it helped i could make my way to a more suitable place to be picked up?
If you can help that would be brilliant!
Would need to have left Styx at 8pm to catch a train home and that seemed a bit early…..6 hours drinking……that’s only half time!
Had been looking forward to meeting you there but by the reports of your ability……i am not looking forward to perhaps having to play you!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only 2 spaces left, it isn’t a big car. :)
Don’t be listening to any nonsense about me being anything but a casual Pool player, WTF has DD been saying?
I’m a Player (In My own Mind) between pint 3 and 6, is it a short tournie? :P

Yeah, i had looked but thanks.
I am not thinking this through properly.
Can actually get a train at about 10pm.
That’s a bit better!
May just cancel that room now!
Are you going Geordie?
don’t know if this has already been posted but a great article about the new front runner!

There are trains from Dalgety bay to Kirkaldy about every 30 mins.
£4.50 a single and it is only a 20 minute trip.
Dan Petrescu away to Al Arabi (Quatar). 3 million euros per year. Murat Yakin no official announcement on Spartak Moscow website but deal done. Contract 2,5 – 3 million euros per year.

Re your query about trains stopping at Dalgety Bay it is on main line between Edinburgh and Kirkcaldy: many trains don’t stop there but others do . Suggest you go on the Trainline site for the time of trains which do stop.
thunder road,
Cheers for the info, looking forward to it, reckon a few hustlers will be turning up especially that bloke Petec :)
