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.

    I made light of it. And the it all comes back to the leap of faith.

     

    Or emporers new clothes, depending on if u believe a story, with no basis in fact.

     

    Population control is what it’s about. IMHO.

    The Coup in Turkey surely is no bad thing. Erdogan is one of filthiest Presidents in the World; he ranks right up there with Bibi Netenyahu, his pal.

     

     

    The blog, has today, probably been in its lowest ebb. Some of the slagging on here has been irresponsible, cheap & disrespectful.

     

     

    We are Celtic Supporters….. The nonsense on here today gives that slogan absolutely no meaning whatsoever.

    Turkeybhoy,

     

     

     

    Seriously, is it an immigration or a population problem?

     

     

    Sorry,I dont profess to be an expert like some on here,but I do know for fact,that many English people,black and white,are really terrified of whats going on in their communities.They have voiced their concerns,and been ignored.This is not new.Luton has been Islamic for around 20 years.Yopu go downtown in Luton,its like Islamabad.Leicester the same,as is Bradford.Is it really impossible to feel the fears of English people?.You can turn your head away ,and ignore the problem for so long,wrapped up in your own little PC world.Thats what caused Brexit.

    There are 7 billion or so of us on this planet.

     

     

    If we all run by a general rule of

     

     

    “DON’T BE A DICK”

     

     

    Then we will all be golden.

     

     

    It IS as easy as that, and as hard as that at the same time.

     

     

    However if most of the 7 billion of us here just now tries not to be a dick, think about it.

     

     

    Truly looks at who they are, what they stand for and their impact in their small part of 7 billion. And tries not to be a dick.

     

     

    Then life on this earth right here and now is heaven???

    Peter – like a capitalist living under communism I don’t have a choice in how I arrange my accommodation.

     

     

    Good night pal.

    Chairbhoy,

     

     

    I wasn’t debating the human rights points – those should be a given – and I admire your courage in this. That sounds a bit patronising, but I mean it – feck it if you don’t believe it.

     

     

    I have Muslim friends – how tedious and worn out does that sound? I argue with them, as I do with my Christian friends. None of them, to my knowledge, are fundamentalists.

     

     

    Fair play to you of you can understand that – maybe its a definition thing – but how do you reconcile the views on apostasy, gays, etc. with basic freedoms?

  8. WHAT IS THE STARS on 16TH JULY 2016 12:30 AM

     

     

    Ta much. I know feck all bout most things, like horses, but just occasionally I like seeing the local hun bookie giving me an angst look that says, “where did you pull that from?”

     

     

    HH :-)

    What a blog today. Some of Delaney’s dunkys Jamaican tobacco could help I’m thinking.

     

    Not a cloud in the sky in a hot central California.

    Empire building!!!!!!What planet are you on?.English guys that came from the Midlands,retired and moved down to the ,then idyllic Dover.The place is now a hell hole with muggings,housebreakings,rioting,looting,all from immigrants.Police say they can do nothing,because they have ,the perpetrators,no real identification.They all look the same.Keep safe in Dublin.

    Turkeybhoy,

     

     

    I grew up in a scheme that didn’t teach PC… so take yer eggs… I’m not yer middle class twat.

  12. Petec – I’m not sure we would always agree on a lot of things, but I like to find common ground where I can – I like your saviour and most of his teaching (I’m not always convinced with his adherents!! Despite being, very loosely, one of them, and my folks being absolutely convinced by him!)

     

     

    Good night buddy and thanks for the tune.

  13. The Riot Club was a Great Film.

     

     

    It exposed so much.

     

     

    Gove done Boris like a kipper.

     

     

    ffs the Tories soon got together for the Good of Their party.

     

     

    Who is this Owen Smith cant?

     

     

    An agitator for sure.

    Mac jay – aye, certainly not what passes for it in the Soviet Union. Maybe we can agree on that.

     

     

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

     

     

    We most certainly can.

  15. ROBERTTRESSELL and FOXY

     

    It’s believed the Communism collapsed in Poland after June 4th 1989. It did not stop the Communists to murder people. As an examples: on July 11 1989 they murdered priest Zych. On July 22 1989 they murdered Mrs Piesiewicz. Her son was a lawyer who was a district attorney in the trial against militiants who murdered priest Popiełuszko.

     

    Anyway, I don’t think you can see the Communism is evil.

  16. WITS,

     

     

    I can add to that if you want,

     

    Tree hugging,Lentil eating,sandal wearing,vegetarian,not same as Lentil eating,bible bashing,social working do-*gooder,that never does any good,everyones a racist,calling nerd.

     

    Now you can make jokes.More ammo.

  17. CLUNKS on 16TH JULY 2016 12:31 AM

     

     

    That’s sound thinking. Reminds me of a book I once read on Brehon’s laws. Community-ism.

    CHAIRBHOY on 16TH JULY 2016 12:31 AM

     

    MACJAY1 @ 12:08 AM,

     

     

    I have nothing against Muslims.

     

    Or protestants .Or Catholics.

     

    Devout or otherwise.

     

    When I say fundamentalist Muslims , I mean those who subscribe to Sharia law.

     

    And carry out it`s dictats.

  19. Clunks, it is not for me to decide if it’s heaven or hell. Clearly it is both, depending on where u were born. Both of us are in the lucky column as we are conversing through electronic means, have food to eat and a roof over our heads. Do u feel lucky?

  20. I expect I will hear – the Comminism is excelent , it’s people who failed. Yes, of course…

     

    Good night.

    Turkeybhoy,

     

     

     

    I grew up in a scheme that didn’t teach PC… so take yer eggs… I’m not yer middle class twat.

     

     

     

    Eh,sorry,you asked me a question civilly and I answered civilly.Now you come on trying to abuse me.You might not be a “Middle class twat”.You are just a Twat.

     

    I grew up in a scheme,you dont get medals for that.

  22. What is the Stars on

    Turkeybhoy

     

     

    Ok whatever

     

     

    Its all the immigrants fault…..says turkeybhoy ( who doesnt come from turkey but lives there,and agrees that borders should be closed to stop the wretched of the earth trying to get within the walls)

     

     

    More lentils butler….hard to get good staff nowadays

    I once tried to hug a tree but I got a knockback.

     

     

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

     

     

    I can see the tree`s point.

    ___________________________

     

     

    I never read that book.

     

     

    But it is really basic.

     

     

    Don’t be a dick! And I never got it, really understood it till tonight.

     

     

    You can have all sorts of reasons, excuses and motives for being a dick.

     

     

    But at the end of the day regardless of the reasons, excuses and motives for being a dick, if you are being a dick then you are a dick.

     

     

    Brutal!

    Yes empire building,everything has a price

     

     

    Wits,I hate to say this,because I do like your posts,but “Fek off”

  26. TURKEYBHOY

     

     

    Sincere apologies for offence I caused to you.

     

    The criticism I directed at Turkey was aimed at the scum whom still deny the ethnic cleansing of Armenians.

     

    You and many like you arent responsible for that.
