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.

“You could have 100% English players in the league, won’t make them world champions.
You need 5 or 6 excellent players in a generation and the rest to be decent.”
Or 1 Maradona.
This ref is craaaazzyyyyy

How many English players play in other top leagues to make them think they can win the World Cup?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not that many.
Interesting that a lot of Colombians and Chileans play in Italy. It will also be interesting to see how well the ole Italians perform in this World Cup, it would be really baffling if Italy won it, surely?
Very disappointed in Brazil, more so the Number 9 with one of the coolest ever Brazillian names, Fred.
Not seen the Germans yet but it sounds like they are playing some clever football, “lots of reverse passes” was one of the comments I liked hearing.
A very open and so far, enjoyable World Cup.
For me the best goal, so far, is the Van Persie Header, even better than the Cahill strike, despite listening to the commentators making it the best goal, listening to it driving home.
Don’t tell Ozzi that he was trying to down play the god Maradona and say Messi is better, and that there were plenty of good players in Maradona’s team.
Sammi chance! Should’ve done better with the header.
I’ve never bet a nil nil before, should’ve done this one (tempting fate for some action).
Need Rye to appear and predict a Gerrard hatrick for Japan.
Yes, but good doesn’t generally win a World Cup. Closest any player came to winning it ‘by himself’.
Messi is magnificent too, and hope his great goal the other night will help him get back to his awesome best.

Bet the draw at 21/10, thank goodness.
Keep the Faith!
Hail Hail!
More Endo….
The Grifter Bike wasn’t built to do endo’s. I found this out painfully, later.

You have got to feel for Stevie G, I know I did, he has let down his Country tonight to the idiots who will follow the propaganda news and the big backlash that is likely to happen.
What I saw tonight, when Wayne scored, was a terrible burden lifted off his shoulders, he was desperate to make things happen after that, he was desperate to get on the ball and make things happen, some of the insane pressure had been relieved.

Embdae fancy a wee laugh, take a look at the Newsnow England Football timeline. Some real gems.
Neil Lennon made a comment a few years ago about it being about 85% (don’t ever quote me) mental strength and 15% ability. That guy has done an Unbelievable job for Celtic, still unsure about what has went on, I know nothing. I just know Neil is a Brilliant Team Player.
I can just imagine him sacrificing himself a bit to make the transition for the fans a bit smoother.
Neil Spoke the TRUTH – Always, it will ALWAYS hurt, it certainly won’t be easily worked out, that is for sure, hence Prophecy in the Bible.

I think the Real Fred stays in Scotland, accept no imitations.
Get these Bhoys back in the fold.

Suarez takes a big bite out of England’s World Cup hopes with double strike
By Sam Wallace of the Independent
HOHOHO!
In an Independent Scotland all Englishmen will be playing in a foreign league.
MWD says AYE
Speak of the Angel……
Graffiti on the Wall, says we are indeed Majestical.
Rio Ferdinand paying homage to the Maestro, it shows he knows fitba.
I know Paul didnae win as much as he should have. He is easily my favourite player ever, I’m flip flopping between him and Xavi as being the best ever midfielder……..
Put Paul in that Barca team, with his dig in the tackle, wow, nae need for Busquets, add another attacker.
Paul McStay, the best decision you ever made in your life, I hope, is that you stayed with Celtic.
So many kids, that have never even seen you, revere you, including this big kid.
Henke was very very good, he wasn’t a Paul McStay though.
John Collins, get those young Academics into that first team, please, it is the only way we will break into the latter stages of the Champions League.

I’m going to ask a really daft or serious question, if you are willing to answer it honestly and openly?
I was just gonnae ask if playing Snooker with a Pool cue would be better for players that are more used to playing Pool, when playing Snooker?
Blessing yourself is now illegal in Scotland.
Antifa says no.
Nationalism is an evil thing, and it nearly always leads to mass graves, look at what happened in nazi germany, a Yes Vote is indeed a vote for the mass deaths and murders of English people and non white non protestant or atheist peoples. Telling us a million times you are voting yes doesnt make any one else more likely to vote the same way. Your vote is no more important than any one elses MWD, the people, not yourself will decided if we want a progressive left wing Scotland under a labour government within the union or if we want a hostile far right Scotland that says no to catholics and English people under an SNP government. I know which version is more in line with the internationale.
Sorry to go back to football…….I love this Ronny and JC combo. Very forward thinking on Celtic’s part…..we may have some hiccups….but terrific forward thinking. Prepare for an entertaining season.
Rocketman
God Made us all as INDIVIDUAL as possible, some like to be sheep.
I like Rockets.
We need mair Danny’s in life, IMO, my opinion ain’t worth nothing though, your own opinion is worth a whole lot more.
Even Ernie can extract himself from the Propaganda, I know the BBC are deceiving a mass populace with their reporting, the evidence has been stacked up for a long time now.

‘Yes Vote is indeed a vote for the mass deaths and murders of English people and non white non protestant or atheist peoples.’
Unbelievable nonsense from you,well up to your usual standard.
A Flick of Gods switch
Hunk dory…….Re CL
hope so, but if not , MON did terrible in first European effort, so did WGS….but both came through afterwards…big time. Cheers
Is there any wonder I’d like to just go to a place where I dinnae ever have to interact with anyone.
An inspection happened this midweek in the compartment I was working in, regarding the Insulating of the compartment, I’m not an insulator but the terrible comments by the Manager, really struck a chord with me about how far down the latest failed ISM we have went……
The guy inspecting said there were 3 white things that could be pulled off (and these could easily be knocked off by other trades). The total Scumbag Supervisor said to pay him off, if the next compartment had the same.
What if that Insulator has kids?
I used the word Karma, 3 times on Thursday, I wish I had not.
Even philvis would reject boy George and his Karma Chamelion…. Ridiculous head tattoo about a Secret Order.
There are ink removal services popping up….. Float them on the market, the esoteric meaning would frighten those that have no idea.
Capitalists, open a tattoo shop beside a tattoo removal shop……
No brainer, can you sleep at night though?
This isn’t normal
When you see the flash of white of a Barn Owl, ye know ye are blessed.

As usual I have no idea what you are on about. Bit tired and emotional. RD and JC brilliant. If they can get on, look forwards to good fitba.
World Cup. I don’t like myself for so wanting England to lose.

Badge of honour/dishonour, heck who cares….
Why would they not get on?
It seems like a seamless transition ……
…from the olde skool to the new skool.
Time will decide, the monetary pressures will however put pressure all over the Plaice.
