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.

  1. Croatia is only 4plus mill as well, and watching them last night was brilliant.

     

     

    They had 5 or 6 players just in their starting 11 better than anything we’ve produced in 20 years. Hyperbole of course but not far from it.

  2. Good evening friends.

     

     

    Anyone else watching this wearing their Scotland jersey?

    Huddle and thunder road- maybe not having complete” jim goodwins” like farry peat Ogilvie and regab in charge of your national association might have helped hh

    Jobo

     

    No on a Thursday I like put on a dress and go by the name of ” Mandy ” :)

  5. Do Celtic have a PR dept?

     

     

    Hearing about the presser today.

     

     

    Press briefing:

     

     

    You are here to ask questions about CFC and NOT about a new club and their upcoming campaign in the second tier of Scottish football.

     

     

    Anyone who does so will be ejected.

     

     

    “Next question.”

     

     

    HH!!

  6. Praecepta

     

     

    Ideal scenario for this game imo.

     

     

    Red card and a pen, with england winning, if all that happens, a half decent wedge >}

     

     

    Two poor teams tho if the truth be known.

    Spot on about CFC to the mejia

     

     

    Draw the shaving foam line and tell them they can’t step forward with sevco / hertz questions

    “The first goal in World Cup history was scored by Lucien Laurent of France. In the final, Uruguay defeated Argentina 4–2 in front of a crowd of 93,000 people in Montevideo, and in doing so became the first nation to win the World Cup”

    p.s. and they were all born within a 100 mile radius of Uruguay ;-)

  10. Thunder Road on

    clunks

     

     

    1 example of the lack of motivation that might have been there, was in a picture i saw.

     

    It was actually a deid club youth player….had not even kicked a ba with the 1st team, yet he was driving a top of the range, range river….was probably the envy of his mates and was to a certain extent made.

     

    Was he hungry to make the most of his talent or was any hunger satiated because he was already loaded?

  11. Joe Hart does have exceedingly nice hair though.

     

     

    It seems to be the only part of him unruffled at present.

    Thanks for such an informative reply!

     

     

    Did you know that one of the Argentine players who took part in that final was still around when the 2010 final was played?

  13. Muppet Show commentating team of Darke & McManaman now turned on the Spanish referee after he failed to send of the defender for blocking Sturridge.

     

     

    Second yellow and red according to them.

     

     

    On that basis John Terry and Vincent Kompany would never finish an EPL game.

     

     

    Mute now on.

    Much the same with ITV commentators. Every time Godin goes near any English player now, they’ll want a second yellow.

  15. Italian commentators far better than those English eejits.

     

     

    They actually seem to know what they’re talking about.

     

     

    It will never catch on.

     

     

    GOAL!!!!

     

     

    HH!!

  16. If Uruguay get to ht still ahead they have a chance they had been very poor before the goal
