One of the things Neil Lennon may have on his agenda for the international break is an inquest into the physical condition of his playing squad. The season is a month old and Celtic have an injury list which would wipe out pretty much every other team in the country. If this was an isolated occurrence it would be no more than curious but we have written about, and discussed, the fragile limbs of Celtic players since the Lennoxtown Training Centre opened nearly five years ago.
Since then Celtic ‘lost’ (more on that at a later date) three leagues by a maximum of six points and lost valuable form and points due to first choice players sitting in the stands on match day.
On Saturday our central midfield was without Ledley, Brown, Wanyama, Kayal and McGeouch (on a non-fitness related injury), while even auxiliary stand-in for central mid, Charlie Mulgrew, was on the list of others getting treatment.
The run of bad luck has moved clearly into the realms of statistical relevance. It is not luck at all, we are doing something wrong.
Football clubs look to sports science to deliver multiple objectives. Competitive pressure is put on players to become faster and to be able to run as effectively late in games as they can in the opening minutes (which for now is a physical impossibility but remains a key target), but we are clearly missing a trick.

Enjoy Barca I’m doing Benfica this time oot :-)
Had a look at the allegations re-posted by BTB,
On the issue of PMcG working in Glasgow Social Work Dept., from what I am aware the section he worked in was the Welfare Rights dept. so I dont think the accusation of an elderly client died in his care, is without any foundation. His job would have been to to given benefit advice to mainly pensioners.
I am not aware of him leaving under any cloud or for any disciplinary reasons, indeed I know from a couple of workers still in the team that they keep in contact with PMcG, and they hold him in high regard and is widely respected.
For the record I dont agree with Phill’s decision to serialize his book in The Scum rag but I thought I would to defend his reputation as far as I knew, it looks to me like the usual hun rantings filled with poison.

When I commented last night, I was maybe too tired to remember clearly what you’d said & what weeshaun had said.
I have read that some New York banker(s) bankrolled Lenin & his lovely colleagues: does seem a tad perverse of them, but just might be true (of course, the bolsheivks helped fund themselves by bank robberies, in which Stalin played a role).
Thanks for your kind comments: I don’t get many of them on here!

Super glue it to your hand, just make sure its not the hand you use to clean your bum :=<

Are the brackets for the remotes or for the boy?
I believe Amazon have distribution centres in Dunfermline and Greenock.
Can you just imagine all those raging Sevconians who will be working in both centres having to package and post. Must be a hilarious time for any Tim mngt types working there right now. “Hoi! BILLY. Your on the Phil Mac Giolla Bhain’s Downfall line today.”
Awe Naw… No email buddy. You got right addy? myname@sky.com or you got my old yin myname@btinternet.com?
HT I had a listen. Sounds good. The promo of Wee Oscar 4 Life is great. That apart BB’s story about his bro in Shambolic section was brilliant. Was that FGF you were talking about BB?

Benthebishop. A belated welcome to you and Hail Hail.
As a result of your earlier post, I logged in to Amazon and posted a review entitled They Can’t Handle The Truth.
Already Phil is under attack from the huns on there, including Michael Stone, trying to undermine his integrity, honesty and credibility.
Therefore the more of us with Amazon accounts who counter these lies the better.
There can be no hiding place for these scoundrels and cheats.
Support Phil Mac not only by buying the book but also by giving positive feedback about it.
Even though many of us may not have read it yet, we know what’s in it from Phil’s website.
Expose the huns. Tell the truth and shame the devil.
Odered Phil’s book.
Onwards to no. 1

Will try and stay sober but only during the sleeping hours. Going to Spain for a week, Liverpool to Reus and staying at my pals place, no doubt, good food, wine and the craic will taken in great quantities.
Taking mrs kikinthenakas to Portugal on Saturday for a week by way of getting aff the leash!

Another trial? Do you think this will end up with a different outcome than last year? Plus he can’t play in Champions League.

a wee bit of uisge in the bottle… now, it has to be a single malt, at least 10 year old.
They can tell the difference between that an a blend, and if you skimp they’re gonnie hate ye for the rest of your life, doesn’t matter what you do.
I fed mine on MacAllan – one’s studying Philosophy and the other’s an Artist
My Dad fed me blends ;)

THE EXILED TIM.
You enquired about where the Celtic Supporters will be seated,I don’t know where north is at the Neu Camp,so,if your sitting in the main stand,we will be in the right hand corner as high up as you can go, that’s where we will be,if it’s a clear night you’ll see us but if it’s cloudy,we’ll disappear into it,and take a coat,that last time I was there it would have froze “you know what I mean”.

Chances are he is just keeping his fitness up. It would be awkward for him to be training at Motherwell having knocked them back.
I can see the headlines already – “McFadden rejects Celtic”

Think I got a blend when I was teething. The doctor told my folks to put a wee but in my bottle. I would crawl to the cupboard and pull the bottle out. Can’t stand whisky now. Obviously I sickened myself of it.
praecepta
Not an option.

I have persuaded the wife that she wants to spend a few days in Lisbon.
We have managed to persuade someone to look after our animals, so you never know, we might manage a beer or two in Lisbon.
So Phil’s book is climbing up the best seller list. Funny how everything seems to backfire on the huns these days, isnt it?
