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.

leftclicktic-great story,brilliantly written mate.
Holiday a week on Monday in Marmaris (going to be far too hot for me!) – anyone got any recommendations?
Also, was going to try to have a read at the football ‘moneyball’ books – does anyone know the name or names? I think one of them was Soccernomics…

I think (though I’m often wrong) that I met the author of it at the celtic foundation”badge” day along with an inspirational woman “Glasgowgerry” or something like that.
It’s why I love getting involved I ALWAYS come out better than I went in.
Thank you for reposting it.

Re: Foodbanks etc. this article from recent research suggests poverty affects more people now than in the 80’s – despite years of economic growth in the UK :
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/jun/19/poverty-hits-twice-as-many-british-households
Comments from Tory politicians recently suggest it’s foodbanks that are creating a demand rather than the other way about.
Meanwhile, Ed Milliband intends to fix the problem by cutting benefits for 100,000 youths aged 18-21 :

‘I was about 200mts away I don’t need a license because no one knows where this bird is. Of course once I let the SSPB know the location the rules change.’

I’m fairly certain you need a licence, so I wouldn’t go broadcasting the fact that you’ve been taking photographs.
It may be of course that the site is known about (there’s a UK wide peregrine survey being carried out this year and possible nesting sites are being checked) but being kept under wraps.
In any event I’m sure the BTO would be interested to hear from you. Either them or your local raptor study group.
As a matter of interest did the bird know you were there? Did it show any sign of concern or alarm? Was it calling? Did it take off?
While we’re on the subject, you and similar minded posters, might consider signing this petition.

You’re missing the point a wee bit. I was suggesting he doesn’t broadcast the fact he was taking photos. I wasn’t suggesting that he stop doing it.
Having said that, there’s a reason you need a licence, and it’s to protect the birds.

==================================
At the same time as slamming in a ‘van Basten’ against the Dutch? Some player!
;))
just watched SIR BOBBY stutter and stammer through his wee stint wi fanny frump.do you think the guy from paddy power will have a wee snyde remark on twitter as he did wi BIG BILLY.
sandman-sorry i meant Gary Cahill ! might stick a bet on him for first goal…
Much-maligned Celtic-supporting superstar Wayne Rooney will be the subject of my £20 wager tonight, to score 2 goals or more.
I hope Rooney shoves it right up the English media bullies with a stunning performance.
I also hope Uruguay win 3-2.
Malone Bhoy… have been to Kusadasi, Marmaris, Istanbul, Altimkum and Bodrum in my time… Loved Turkey.. great people and they love their football.. it’s that hot in Turkey you might need to roll up the sleeves of your snorkel.. don’t be going mental and unzipping it or taking it off… it’s hot but it’s no that hot :)
A license needed to photograph burds?
Better not tell a few of my ex girlfriends that…………..

Lovely wee tale.

Cheers for bumping it on – now saved.

Great spot. Cathkin Braes? Campsies?
I fear a burd spotting thread approaching.

At first I thought SP for “illusive” thinking it should be “elusive”…then I thought again.
I think the player will be both on reflection.

Been to Olu Deniz before, was amazing but think it was probably in a different league to this time around however a holiday is a holiday and much needed… it was hot but can’t remember it being that hot. The weather forcast last week was in the early 20s, this week in the 30s, by the time we get their I hope it’s not in the mid-40s or I am snorkeled!
Anyway, good place to watch the world cup?

Happy to sign the petition, Ernie. Next one in will make 5,000.
Tell the landed gentry to shoot each other and leave the birds alone.
There’s two weeks between the World Cup end and Celtic’s re-start to sort out hand grenades and nuclear bombs.
Now, who has the techers to show us the peregrine falcon coasting in flight alongside the car driving at +70mph video?
Badabing/Leftclicktic/your lurking pal who really should get postin :-)
Thanks for the article.re green mile

The downside of the new media. The morons can type what they want while drunk and hiding in their bedrooms and never having to personally face the people they disparage.
I truly wonder at those who advise these older, decent men and allow them to be put in such invidious positions in the first place.
Respect campaigns are always behind the curve when they should be ahead of it.
HH
Malone Bhoy. Olu Deniz is a cracking place been many times. Been to marmaris twice but can’t remember any bar names. We are getting every World Cup game in our hotel because it’s on normal turkish tv. Bars showing it in English will be easy to find as it’s a very British resort. Enjoy yer hols!!!
