White shirted fitness freaks arrive at Training Centre

911
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

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.

    While there are food banks and hunger in this country, every penny spent by the govt protecting wild animals is an obscenity, people should come first every time.

    Hmmm wonder what the reaction would be in Suarez dives for penalty winner tonight ??

     

     

    Uruguay were so poor v Costa Rica, it will need some turnaround to pull a result out of the bag tonight – not that I rate Engerlund that highly either.

     

     

    Best game for me today is Colombia v Ivory Coast, expect Colomobia & Japan both to win.

    Thindimebhoy that’s a great shot.

     

     

    I was always interested in birds and as a boy must have spent days lookin for a peregrine that was reported at cliffs newar what we called the St Margaret’s Marsh which is the north site of the new Forth Bridge.

     

     

    Never saw it once but now see them fairly regularly and they are definately coming back. I never lost the ability to tell a bird that was out of the ordinary run of the mill ones, even from distance. I casued great mirth in Rosyth Dockyard some years ago when I suddenly shouted peregrine and ran about half a mile to get a closer look at one perched on the top of a tall building.

     

     

    It was a peregrine all right a perfect plastic replica used to scare pigeons!

     

     

    The one/two that pass my house now are regulars and there is no sight more dramatic than watching them dive in a stoop to take the homing/wood pigeons that are plentiful.

     

     

    They never know what hits them.

    HI Wiinning Captains. Where is this BobbyLennoxtown. If you had been born there you would know that the natives call it Campsie.

    What is the criteria for receiving aid at a food kitchen?

     

     

    How do you gauge whether a person is genuinely in need or merely augmenting their finances to, perhaps the detriment of others, who do need help?

     

     

    The long established fod kitchen in Dublin, run by aa religious order, have a no questions policy.

     

     

    Is it the same in the UK?

    Do you think they should be means tested ?

    Ernie I can assure you I am the only fekkr who knows where these birds are. And since I discovered them by pure operchanity I can’t see how I would need a licence to discover them by chance.

     

     

    Incidentally the fledglings gave their position away by their call

     

     

    Anyway I have emailed the precice location longitude and latitude of the 2 fledglings to the Glasgow branch of the RSPB

     

     

    The birds knew I was there they can see fer fekkin miles you know ! and no I did not scare them I kept a good distance and took the pic with a very very long lens….:)

    Funny story about the plastic Peregrine !

     

     

    They are beautiful to behold and these are the first birds I ever managed to get a picture of it

     

     

    Worked in Roysth many moons ago we helped build the drydock for the subs and had a good time staying local in Dunfermline

    As a matter of interest the guidelines for monitoring peregrine sites suggest a distance of 500-750 metres to avoid disturbance. Bit unrealistic perhaps but there you go.

     

     

    I’m not criticising you for taking photographs. I’m just pointing out that a licence is required so it’s probably in your interests to keep quiet about it. (but before you do, did you managed to photograph the chicks? how many were there, and what stage were they at?)

     

     

    I’d be interested to know though how the adults behaved. Were both adults present and did either of them call or fly off?

     

     

    Thanks to you, and all the others, for signing the petition.

     

     

    This is a link to the BTO peregrine survey, which may be of interest.

    Do you think they should be means tested ?

     

    ******

     

    I don’t think anything.

     

    I asked a question.

     

     

    Do you know the answer? If not, maybe you could ask someone who does know.

    I’m sure I read somewhere that folk had to be referred to the foodbanks in Scotland. By whom, don’t know but would be glad to be proved wrong.

    Weefra,

     

     

    Thanks for the constructive response.

     

     

    Canamalar,

     

     

    Sounds as if it is you that is “loaded”.

     

     

    I asked a question, qualified by how the Dublin one operated.

     

     

    You, my good nan were too keen to look for something that wasn’t there.

     

     

    I don’t like smart asses.
