The 18-year-olds you have

215

How much success is inbuilt talent, how much is application and how much is development at key times?

The latter is crucial. International youth teams are filled with teens who make no impact on the game, as the inbuilt that earned them a youth cap withers, while others grow through their early adult years.

It’s not about the 18-years-olds you have, it’s what you do with the 18-year-olds you have.

  1. Good morning all from Las Americas, Tenerife, where current temp is 22 degrees.

     

     

    All 10 of us are off to Siam Park (water park today). Should be fun.

     

     

    Get Casper signed along with another few seasoned pro’s and we will be sorted as long as we keep Oriley for another year.

     

     

    Have a good day all.

     

     

    D. :)

  2. From the BBC:

     

     

    “The Glasgow club have been forced to seek a temporary home…. ”

     

     

    Forced? Hmm…..who `forced` them?

  5. I read a good valid comment earlier saying say we’d blown half our budget on a younger keeper and he done well he’d be off after a couple of years anyway.

  6. Good Morning, MELVIN,

     

    Been thinking about you all week and hoping you were just having a close season rest. Turns out you were doing much more than that, so many congratulations on your achievements and to your loved ones for their support. Well done, very well done.

    As for signings, grandson keeps on telling me we’ve signed. X,Y and Z and I keep telling him we’ve signed no one until it’s announced on the official Celtic site.

    A Very Happy Birthday to The Wonderful Old Tim……Best Wishes from All of Us.

  7. Squad flys out on Tuesday to the states still as it stands we’ve a far weaker squad. The club has our money and should be making us feel good not nervous get the players in get them announced and make a statement of intent.

    Excellent leader by BMCUWP over on Sentinel Celts re the Ibrox refurb fiasco.

     

     

    The lack of pursuit of specificity by the SMSM is disgraceful.

     

     

    Answers to perhaps just four or five questions would absolutely explode the controlled narrative.

     

     

    One thing I’d respectfully add to the point about comparisons with Celtic renting Hampden … ours was planned well in advance.

     

     

    The impact of accommodating this shambles of a club (who may have known about this issue for some time) … should be factored into the costs.

     

     

    PS – I recall VIVIDLY during our tenure the word “squatters” being used in the mainstream.

     

     

    I do not expect a repeat.

  9. Yes!

     

    Germany equalise in the last minute at Wembley 2-2

     

    Lets hope they can win it in extra time

  10. Bob MacIntyre disappointed…..with his 63 at the Scottish Open

     

    Leader in the club house though at -15
