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.

    I think I like the new management team and will give them two seasons to win the european cup or they can sling their hook.

     

    I’m still very annoyed at the treatment of Lenny after all he has been through for our club, very suspicious circumstances surrounding his departure and I suspect foul play.

    That’s a fantastic prize for your nephew, who, like you,sounds like an absolutely TOP bloke!

     

     

    If he decides not to go, and can’t find anyone to take his place, you can get my email from Paul!

     

     

    You wonderful guys see and have a great day now, as you both really deserve it, being such TOP blokes ‘n all.

    I didn’t say I agreed with their accusations,I merely pointed out that they have been made.

     

     

    Frequently.

    Hamiltontim –

     

     

    A bit puerile and unimaginative to counter criticism of posters who always moan by posting a criticism of posters who never moan.

     

     

    Says it all really.

     

     

    ——————–

     

     

    Tell me Tom, what does it say?

    Do you visit the medium often, how does that work, do you take your dogs ghost for walks round the mediums office, has the medium got a special ghost stick for you to throw

  8. Hrvatski Jim

     

     

    His pal sounds even more of a TOP bloke than even you and your nephew, if that’s possible!

    didnt mention anything about visiting it – i just said it had been dead for 12 years

     

     

    you need to read more slowly and stop inventing words in your head that arent in the original post

  11. blantyretim is praying for the Knox family on

    The honest mistake.

     

    Does big yogi realise he is taking his lige in his hands when he sits in the car for the ride from the station? O))

     

     

    Spoke to my dad last night about the bold Jimmy and his driving exploits

  12. Hoopy-do… looking for a ghost writer for my autobiography… can you let me know your dug’s availability ? :)

  13. beatbhoy,

     

     

    What a crawler!

     

     

    If you really want a ticket for the final, I suggest that you seek out an England fan who made a pre-booking and now regrets his impetuosity.

  14. The Green Man on

    Glad Wayne Rooney scored and played well..hopefully shut up the anti-working class agenda against him…

     

    And…look forward to seeing Mr Pirlo today…fantastic player

     

    Welcome back Johnny Collins. ..top man imo

    Hoopy..,

     

    I dont and I dont need advice from someone who thinks he had a dog that could use a computer, good grief, did you have a graduate budgie too, I think you might have Dolittleititis a trip to your local animal psychologist might help.

  16. Great finishing by Suarez last night but I thought the keeper was poor at the second goal. Couldn’t understand why he moved left. Would not be surprised if Italy win their two games though.

  17. Hrvatski Jim

     

     

    Is that a ‘ no’ then?

     

     

    Seriously, what a great prize for them to be sharing. Lucky, lucky Bhoys!

     

     

    Jealous as. . . !!

    Dolittleitis?

     

     

    Most people I work suffer from something similar.

     

     

    Dosodallitis.

  20. So, just 2 weeks to Aberdour and still no leaks on the identity of this year’s after dinner speaker. It’s Ronny isn’t it. ;-)

    Hoopy..,

     

    Did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning

  22. ziggydoc1 @ 10.15 hrs,

     

     

    I too thought Joe Hart was wrong footed at the second goal and could have done better.

     

     

    HH, always in Celtic.

     

     

    PS : As our pooch was groomed yesterday she stated it was a grooming salon not parlour.

  23. Client just gave me the following –

     

     

    Talisker, 10 y.o., single malt, 45.8% proof.

     

     

    Any thoughts please?

     

     

    I’m sure this was panned by ACGR not long ago. (Sorry ACGR, if it wisny you!)

    ……………………………………………………..

     

    Jobo there is a nice sea-food restaurant at Aberdour if you are going there.

     

     

    A wee out of the way spot where you have to take your car down a track and then walk the last bit down a very steep road. They will come for you if you are a bad walker.

     

     

    Nothing special to look at but the food and the views are special.

    I am not on commission or anything like that. Just sayin like.

  26. BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS,

     

     

    Not only a talking dug, but she was asked to fill out a comments sheet after her shampoodle, c/w her E-mail address.

     

     

    And that is no shaggy dog tail.

    Did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning

     

    ————-

     

    i posted a couple of sentences praising the bbc for producing some of the best tv programmes over the last few decades and all of a sudden i was accussed of all sorts that werent in that post

     

     

    things like accusing another poster of saying he wanted the bbc disbanded, and visiting mediums to speak to a dead animal!!

     

     

    I looked to see if there was another cqner with ‘hoopy’ in their moniker in case i was responding to the wrong posts but i couldnt find any so i guess there were aimed at me right enough

     

     

    i stick by my original post, the bbc have produced some brilliant programmes over the years, just because the apprentice is mince doesnt change that

  28. Jobo Baldie

     

     

    A wis gonny dae the speech but don’t know enything aboot politics or Engerland.

     

     

    I would have been able to talk about Celtic, her players, her supporters and management and her history.

     

     

    Sae nay guid theyr then.

    It looks a decent dram and I don’t think I’ll be disappointed!

     

     

    Take care!

  31. Morning all.

     

     

    Dog parlours/salons?

     

     

    Saw an ad here the other day for a DIY dog wash.

     

     

    Take yer dog along and wash it yerself!

     

     

    I won’t be trying it as I don’t have a dug.

     

     

    HH!!

    Bet you wish you had thought of that brilliant piece of entrepreneurialism!

     

     

    Big word for rip-off,btw.

     

     

    You still sitting watching the (long-legged) girls go by?

  33. I see Song got a straight red card the other night. He should have been off at Celtic Park (mind you, so should Mascherano). A thug. Shame the likes of Barcelona let him ply his trade.

  34. Neil canamalar Lennon hunskelper extrordinaire on

    Hoopy…,

     

    So you like eastenders :oD is that one of the quality programs you were referring to, I dont remember saying disband the BBC however I did say sack the board.

     

    Seems you a wee tad tetchy.
