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.

    Right, listen up aw ya ignorant hoors

     

     

    This is a bit of your history….. Now ould O’Sullivan was a man who fought with the English against other clans, but then fought against the hoors cos he saw the light… right?

     

     

    Anyway, he led 7 million of his clan on a walk up the arse of Ireland, only to lose 6,999,999 on the way… probably the worst wild camper this side of Pittenweem.

     

     

    Sullivan means “one-eyed” or “hawk-eye” to be more accurate, so am told by my O’Sullivan relation – the twat.

     

     

    Anyway. very careless, all very sad, but a decent tune out of it… so cheer up

    I absolutely agree with all of that.

     

    Just don`t appreciate being told , not by you , that there were racist overtones in the Brexit vote.

     

    I think there is a general fear .

     

    Fear of an uncertain future and a need for stability .

     

    Europe has seen some chaotic scenes recently.

     

    The people voted as they did in the light of that.

     

    I can see their point.

     

     

    Stop Press.

     

    Turkey.

     

    More chaos.

  3. Barney67- home. As I said it’s not funny although I look it. Keep looking behind me to check if there’s not a bicycle pump up ma arse.

     

     

    Setting my teeth on edge so like toothache but with ridiculous swelling….

    Oiche Mhaith…. keep them close, give them a hug

     

     

    Whispers

     

     

    The whispers of the old ones

     

    They never disappear

     

    They lift and wish upon the wind

     

    The sound you never hear

     

    The memory forgotten

     

    The breath as soft as dew

     

    The scent, the glance, the trembling hair

     

    The thought you never knew

     

     

    The source of all your instincts

     

    The song inside your soul

     

    The tenacity of tenderness

     

    The drive towards your goal

     

     

    Remember this my little one

     

    When you fear to walk alone

     

    That we are here beside you

     

    Your flesh, your blood,

     

    your own

  5. P.s.. only known one person who had this shit and they slit him chin to ear. Wife would love that! :-)

  6. Let’s just have the war to end all wars and be done with it.

     

    What? They tried that. Didn’t work? No shit.

     

    I’m old enough to remember when it was all AL Qaeda s fault.

     

    Remember Tony Blair.

  7. Barney – cheers mucker. I’ll be right. Sleep would be good though. There are many more deserving of your goodwill.

     

    Nite.

    It was understandable that those areas who voted for Brexit were in the main former working class heartlands, genuinely afraid of the consequences of mass immigration, not for racist reasons, rather a fear of losing their jobs, security and cultural identity.

     

     

    Inevitably when those poor unfortunates arrive in the UK, they are directed, due their economic circumstaces, to poorer areas where there is already great pressure on wages, jobs, housing and social services.

     

     

    Of course there was an element within the Brexit movement whose only motivation was to further their racist agenda by stamping out immigration – free movement is an anathema to them.

     

     

    Harking back to the Merkel motivation, i.e. ensuring a plentiful future workforce – there have been warnings from farmers that the agriculture industry would grind to halt without migrant workers – apparently British workers don’t want to work on the land.

  9. Without a doubt every brexiteer I’ve spoken to ours immigration as their No one reason for voting to leave. Some might say it was because how much it costs, but soon mention immigration.

    Again agreed.

     

    At the time of the notorious Enoch Powell ” Rivers of Blood ” speech , I remember wondering .This is a democracy but no`one has been asked to vote on immigration policy.

     

    Perhaps the Brexit vote can be seen in that light.

     

    Perhaps not.

     

    Immigration is about numbers and , for me , assimilation.

     

    Basically , being part of and playing a role in the society you have chosen to join.

     

    I`m afraid integration is not what some immigrants wish for.

     

    I hesitate to use the word apartheid .

     

    However…………..

     

     

     

    “apparently British workers don’t want to work on the land’

     

    Precisely the same argument is used and reused about Mexicans in U.S.

     

    And backpackers in OZ.

     

    Who knows ?
