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.

    This great british desire to make their borders less porous might have worked if they introduced it around 1600

     

    It could have been used to prevent armed racist thugs from leaving britain to rape and pillage and generally inflict misery on large portions of the earth

     

    As you sow etc

    See the West promotes religious diversity, freedom, equality etc.

     

    In reality its a lie, unless youve lots of money. Or at least a enough money to get by. Racism is rife in the west and is welcomed by the rich as it like all forms of discrimination keeps wages down. Thing is, it feeds and harbours resentment and in the West there’s many a vehicle to cause mayhem with. Religion is paramount to the Wests pathetic Capitalist system but it’s their Achillies heel.

     

    When i worked in recruitment I understood racism in action. That’s a minor detail in the grand scheme of things but relevant to the failed capitalist system in the West.

     

    Study hard work hard you’ll be rewarded right? Not so. In the Western capitalist system racism, prejudice, is an important ingredient to keep the old money with the establishment and the new money to as few as possible.

     

    Communism wont stand for that bullshit. The West is bankrupt. Longterm there’s only one winner. Like I said before, Nietzsche was right, compassion could be the end of humanity but thankfully the Chinese wont let that happen.

     

    Scotland should take a head start and be teaching our school kids Chinese from nursery age. Survival of the fittest.

    The brexiteers pulled off the biggest con job on the british working class since WW1

     

    Semi literate fools from Hull and Halifax and Hell being told to stand up to those dastardly jerries so England can be great ….again.

     

     

    God I despair of the idiocy of people at times

     

     

    With apologies to anyone from Hull or Halifax who might be reading ( whether semi literate or not)

    The morning after the EU vote a woman in my work was lamenting that that her nephews and nieces won’t be able to go on holiday to Europe any more, it’s all they’ve known she says :o) She voted for remain.

  5. I don’t understand this “we need to hurry up and buy xyz rubbish”

     

     

    We have about 300 players just now and we would all probably agree on 4 1st team starters – Gordon, KT, Eric and Leigh. The rest we would argue all night and day about.

  7. Anyway,from your reporter on the spot in Turkey.istanbul and Ankara,the biggest cities are under army law.Wether this is the full army,only tomorrow will tell.The army has always been neutral,until anything goes awry,and Erdogan has systematically removed any Generals he thought could be against him.Seems he did not look hard enough.He is a Fascist prick,and a mad Muslim,who has bribed his way to power.Turkey openly trades with ISIS for oil,funding them.The European side of Turkey which is the one side of Istanbul,and all around the coastal areas are against him.The problem being the majority,who like his Muslim rants are all inland.Could be a big problem tomorrow if the Coup gathers ground.

     

    Meanwhile,200 yards from me along the beach,the turkiush,T On The Beach continues unaware.Some great bands,and its free for me.

    Come on , mate.

     

    You can`t dissociate Irish people from those events ,but let`s not open that door again.

     

    In any case , the British are mongrels. We are not homogeneous .

     

    Vikings , Anglo Saxons ,French , Saxe Coburg , Carl Marx , India , Pakistan etc. etc.

     

    We`ll take anybody and we have . Including a fair few from your neck of the woods.

     

     

    The most significant Brexit issue was about safety. IMHO.

  10. Really disappointed tonight with what has been discussed and fought over on this blog today. Religion, politics and even someone’s business dealings – can we not get back to discussing what binds us and cut out all the other crap. Getting more like the dark side each day……

    Interesting Times ……..unfortunately

     

    Theres a lot to be said for boring middle class suburbia

    Not sure it will do much good in the grand scheme of things but you could do your bit and give the proletariat a wee tip or two on the gg’s now and then just to keep our spirits up whilst we prop up your faux pas class system ;-)

    Arguably anyone whom by choice visits/works in Turkey is asking for trouble and more besides. Sup with the Devil? Take your chances.

     

     

     

    Scum Turks still wont apologise for the ethnic cleansing of Armenians. It;s recent history.

     

     

    I have lived in Turkey for 10 years you uninformed illiterate idiot.The Turkish people are the nicest people you could meet.The sins of the fathers should not be put onto future generations,or else I could call you,being British the land grabbing,native murdering,wealth stealing twat,you obviously are.Crawl back under your stone ya halfwit.

    Brexit was all about racism

     

     

    Nothing else

     

    A silly tory fantasy of England on a sunny day in the 1950s ( 1850s,1750s) white faces,cricket on the village green……such nonsense

    If that`s the case , why are people flooding to the ” West.”

     

    They are voting with their feet and their paddles and their people smugglers.

     

    What do they know that you don`t ?

     

    I take it you are aware of the recent outflux of people crossing the border from communist Venezuela to Colombia so that they can buy……….

     

    FOOD.

     

    Where did communism work ?

     

    Give me the list .

     

     

    Communism.

     

    Beautiful in theory.

     

    Shitty in practice.

    “Brexit was all about racism ”

     

     

    ===========================================

     

     

    Ergo , the majority of British voters are racist.

     

     

    No.

     

    But perhaps your comment could be seen to be.

  20. CORKCELT on 15TH JULY 2016 10:43 PM

     

    Erdogan urging people to take to the streets, Army urging them to stay at home. My gut instinct on that alone is Army in ascendancy,

     

     

     

    FFS,just saw an interview with Erdogan on Turkish TV,through an I-Phone !!!!!!/Imagine Potus or the PM doiung that.Not a great deal of confidence in what he says,I would have thought.

    Thanks Petec……just looking for a bit of calm and less challeging discourse but if folks want what has gone on today then fair enough but I will go elsewhere for my Celtic fill.

    The aul class system,

     

    I was thankfully lucky enough to have been born on the’ wrong side ‘of the tracks (literally a railway line seperated our council estate from the private houses) I remember being about 10 and taking a short cut across said railway tracks to get to a local park for football only to experience a grown adult man throwing stones at me and telling me to f**k off back to where I came from.He wasnt havent working class scuts cutting through his estate ( proud class warrior that he was)

     

    Its all bullshit,division over race creed and class.But do we learn ,,,…

    Baby, sometimes I’m so carefree

     

    With a joy that’s hard to hide

     

    And sometimes it seems that all I have do is worry

     

    Then you’re bound to see my other side

     

    But I’m just a soul whose intentions are good

     

     

    The only hope for the West is to adopt Communism before it’s too late. The Chinese aint half stolen a march.

    Kelvinbhoy,

     

     

    Your word is as good as emdaes…. you stay on and have your say… its as valid as any other shite posted on here

    No I am not racist

     

    far from it

     

    The germans were nasty bastards…..they murdered 20 million

     

    Does that make me a racist ? calling the germans nasty bastards

     

    Mainly the british working class are not racist ……but the donkeys who lead them are

  27. Communism shitty?

     

    The term shitty about Communism is an insult to the millions who lost their lives. Communism and Nazism are two equal evils.
