Use Wolfsburg to find desperately needed sharpness

1058

If you’ve been here for a while you’ll have noticed I don’t pay much attention to preseason friendlies but tomorrow’s game against Wolfsburg takes on a more serious tone after Tuesday’s reversal – Celtic desperately need to find sharpness.

Despite the well-placed confidence that we’ll cope comfortably at Celtic Park on Wednesday against Lincoln Red Imps, the serious challenges will come thick and fast thereafter.

Players need to find their edge and the manager needs to learn who goes where and works with whom. It’s just about possible for us to get things together, but whoever we pull out of the hat in today’s provisional third qualifying round draw will be delighted to catch a team in apparent flux.

All this brings us back to Wolfsburg’ a much needed test.

    Two thoughts on the tragic aftermath of this Bastille day tragedy.

     

     

    One : Outrage.

     

     

    Two: Gratitude to our host for providing us with this outlet on which we can express our feelings of outrage.

     

     

    Thank you , Paul.

  2. Get the Brose in DM in place of Broonie.

     

     

    Heck even try him as a sole DM.

     

     

    Efe has never been a CH…. His heading is just a bit better than mine – I’m gash at headering the ba.

     

     

    Play him where he should be playing.

     

     

    If not – put the guy out of his misery ffs Brendan.

  3. macjay1,

     

     

    Brilliant m8ty. I think the Euro is going to plummet long term and I reckon the Pound will Grow Big Time.

     

     

    I liked a comment by a Tory Member on Twitter, basically slaughtering the Room m8s clicque club.

     

     

    I will be giving TM every chance. She has the most difficult of Jobs.

     

     

    At the End of the Day, as Kojo said, but not so subtly, Self Interest is Always going to Win – I’d love to have heard the Wise Mans jibber jabber about the Brexit.

     

     

    I’m hoping for London to acknowledge the Rest of the UK. I reckon she(queen) has had a Word in her ear.

     

     

    I will be Honest I like this Queen. She wears the olde Green.

    Currency speculation is just that , however the great fluctuator is the Australian dollar.

     

    Recent variation 47p . Now 58p.

     

     

    I look for harmony amongst ourselves and hope ( expect ) that the Republic will become closer to U.K. in terms of trade initially and later culturally.

     

     

    Recent insults from European finance ministers directed towards Boris bode well for U.K.

     

    They`re not happy.

     

    Why would that be ?

     

    What have they got to lose ?

     

    We shall see.

  5. macjay1,

     

     

    A Strong get it right up you Cabinet.

     

     

    Delighted about the Climate Change Drop as well.

     

     

    It was Global Warming before.csc

     

     

    Proper Fighters getting into the ring is what I see. Globally.

  6. I am not taking it for granted that we will beat the hillman imps over the 2 legs.

     

     

    We should ,but with this team of lightweights ,who knows for sure?

     

    TT

  7. The Disgraced Labour Party are Squabbling times 3 now.

     

     

    Selfish Feckers.

     

     

    The Tories at least know to know when to step aside and work for the Good of their Party.

     

     

    Clever. Not Really. Just ……. AWEE feck it.

     

     

    I won’t ever vote for the SNP.

  8. Good morning friends and a Big Happy Friday from a dry but thick cloud covered and blustery East Kilbride.

  9. TinyTim,

     

     

    Ta for the tour of the Pinnacle Pool stuff. I Love that game so much. I appreciated the guided tour dude. I just want the Celtic Bhoys playing in the 1st Team….ASAP

  10. Has Geordie Munro taken a Close Season sabbatical?

     

    I`ll read any response later. Must go

     

    Cheerio for now.

     

     

    JJ

     

    PS Just a thought ( what else!):

     

     

    Instead of thinking that those who complain most are not real Celtic fans, see them as supporters whose need for Celtic to do well is greater.

  11. Good morning CQN

     

    Brilliant analysis of the cold hearted evil departing chancellor

     

     

    As someone from a poor working class family from the east end of Glasgow, and fully understands Brother Walfrids ethos, compassion and humanity which gave birth to Celtic FC, this site has some seriously deluded ignorant political nutcases posting on it now who IMO would have Brother Walfrid spinning in his grave

     

     

    Enjoy your day CQN

    O.K.

     

     

    So .

     

    What was Pravda` s take on the issue ?

     

     

     

    Lads.

     

    Think principles not parties.

  14. And M, I won’t take any publication Seriously.

     

     

    I Dinnae read the InformatioN……………

     

     

    InformATION

     

     

    gIE this Cabinet a chance, IMO.

     

     

     

    I will point you to the Queen dishing out a DEFINITE ELEVATED handshake to AM. The Kent fecker disguised it this Year, until Andrew.

  15. Through A Green Glass Brightly on

    Peter 6:24am – “I think the Euro is going to plummet long term and I reckon the Pound will Grow Big Time.”

     

     

    Aye, that’ll be right, try swopping pound and euro about in your above sentence and you’ll be a lot closer to the mark.

     

     

    Anyways, why all the ’embarrassment’ about losing to the Imps in first competitive game of season cause they’re parttimers? Sevco have been losing against parttimers early, mid and late season for 4 years now and not a mention of any red faces despite their wage bill eclipsing these times by a vast amount.

    I get pelters from people on here for posting links from The Mail and The Telegraph. I do so because I believe in at least trying to see both sides of an argument before making a decision. Publications which I read in hard copy rather than online are just as “suspect” in some eyes.

     

     

    Ironic,since they are blinkered.

     

     

    I never took you for the type of fella who would use the “they would say that,though” approach.

     

     

    You disappoint me-following on from yesterday’s discussion about Khartoum(!)

     

     

    $600,000 if ever yer asked,btw. Tie-break in a pub quiz a good few years ago…

    The mark is defunct,old bean…

  19. Just popped in.

     

     

    I’ll come back when the CQN political broadcast on behalf of the Conservative Party has run its course.

    LIONROARS and I are on the case,bud!

     

     

    Have a wee look at the link we both posted about an hour ago.

    Lionroars67,

     

     

    You’re bang on the mark my friend and I think you just answered Hot Smoked’s question, some of the absolute garbage written on here has chased many more than Geordie Munro.

    BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 15TH JULY 2016 7:58 AM

     

     

    Bobby.

     

    You`re right.

     

    A cheap shot.

     

     

    Frustrated right now with the concept that party politics in U.K. matter.

     

    There`s a far bigger picture which is above and beyond party politics.

     

    As was Brexit.

     

     

    Bastille day events in Nice simply underline the motivation of those who voted for Brexit.

     

    I think they were right.

     

     

    Yer last two references are beyond my ken.

     

    Gently imbibing.

     

    :-)
