White shirted fitness freaks arrive at Training Centre

911

Fixtures are out and the management team are in-situ at Bobbylennoxtown; the air of anticipation for a new chapter in a 126-year-old story lies heavy over Celtic supporters.  I wish we were starting tomorrow.

If you are a Celtic player, what would your overbearing sentiment be today?  If it was me, looking at photos of those two white-shirted fitness freaks at the Training Centre today, I’d be tempted to get out for a run, before the real business starts next week.

There are only a few things a manager can do in his first few days in charge of a new squad but setting standards for fitness and training are two clear examples.  Monitoring is not just about stepping on the scales anymore, the players will have their body fat, glycogen levels and heart beats documented from when they get back and throughout the season thereafter.  With benchmarks for all, as well as performances.  I’m feeling tired even thinking about it.

Visit the CQN Bookstore to get Tommy Gemmell to sign your personal copy of his book, All the Best.

    England have been desperate to emulate the Spanish for the last 8 years. Congrats lads, you’ve finally done it :-)

    Ball punted 80 yards Hart is 3 yards out when Saurez hit the ball,his starting position should have been around the penalty spot

    My favourite comment came at Gerrard’s booking – an optimistic ‘He’ll miss the quarters now’

  10. That’s called “Samurai Blue,” and why Japan’s soccer team wears samurai blue uniforms is unknown even to the Japanese.

     

     

    Japan started to wear them in the 1936 Berlin Olympics and defeated Sweden by 3-2. Since then, blue has been considered to be the lucky color for Japan’s soccer team.

     

     

    Samurai blue is said to represent the ocean and the sky, as well as speed. (Japan is surrounded by the seas on all sides.)

  12. Thought Rooney was by a mile England’s best player tonight, from deep left midfield to a tap in, class. Saying that England are pish hopefully Costa Rica will hump them as well.

     

    Like Rooney, he’s a Timbhoy.

    from Wiki

     

    Its goodnight from me Honest :))

     

     

    Japan uses blue and white rather than red and white due to a superstition. In its first major international competition, the 1936 Summer Olympics, Japan used a blue kit in the match against Sweden and Japan won the match by a score of 3–2.[8]

  14. Samaria blue was a Japanese imperial thing.

     

    Ancient traditions.

     

     

    Samaras blue however is watching an obviously worldly level player

     

    Being allowed to leave the celts.
