For the first time in a while, Celtic have had more than a week between games, not much more than a week, but still an extended break from the pressure of playing matches.
Maybe a wee jaunt somewhere or a couple of days off ?
Not with Ange Postecoglou there isn’t.
The days of popping over to spain to see a lass, or heading out for a kebab and forgetting where you live are well and truly over, as the season approaches it’s finale.
“It’s not about days off, it’s just about freshening them off a bit,”
“The players will still be in at Lennoxtown but they will come in with a different mindset.
“When you know there is a game coming up in midweek, you tend to just work on your recovery.
“It will be great for the players to just train as normal as this is the first free midweek we have had all year. It allows them to freshen up mentally instead of preparing for a game in the midweek.
“I will freshen up a few and I’ll also get the chance to put some real good physical work into others who need it. The ones who haven’t had a lot of game time recently.
“I think it will be enormously beneficial for us to have two midweeks coming up.
“It’s eight days between Livingston and the cup game on Monday, and then we don’t play again until the weekend.
“That’s two good weeks of training before the international break and that is valuable time for us as coaches as we can actually do some work with the players.”
We hear they’re training nights as well. To adjust their body clocks in case Sky alter the kick off times for the next Glasgow derby to suit the Australian and Japanese markets.
It’s all a far cry from the days of Lennon when a few sprints to the pub and a packet of diet crisps served as sports science, and there are signs that a new culture has indeed taken root at Celtic.
What particularly caught the eye was this…
I will freshen up a few and I’ll also get the chance to put some real good physical work into others who need it. The ones who haven’t had a lot of game time recently.
There seems to be no hiding place for lollygaggers with Ange.
Each player seems to have his own fitness and performance programme, which is how it should be, and that means the fat kids no longer have to keep up with the little ones.
They have to overtake them.
That old chestnut match fitness seems to be a thing of the past, players will be expected to be ready at a moments notice to drop into the side and put in a performance, which will horrify a couple of them and clear the way for a final purge during the summer transfer window.
From now on, a couple of posts on a players instagram account or a tweet about how much they love the club will no longer suffice.
One thing we heard a while ago was that Ange is extremely aware of social media, and keeps an eye on things personally, a sort of unseen fenian brand , and anyone who he feels is taking him , or the fans, for a ride will be outed.
Outed through the door that is.
You may be surprised at some of the names mentioned for honourable discharges. Ange is ruthless, and you may have noticed that a number of players he’s brought in seem like ready made replacements for some of our established men.
Something else we’ve noticed is that the media, both social and mainstream, is very limited in little stories that escape the ranch.
Except us, of course, we’re right on the nose with everything, unless it’s the bits we make up.
At least we’re honest about what we make up, whereas the mainstream package together as much rubbish as they can and put it out regardless of veracity.
Mark Guidi claims that Kyogo Fuhruhashi could be fit for the next trip to Ibrox, which is a better headline than Kyogo might not be fit for ibrox, which is equally valid, Hugh Keevins said , ach, it doesn’t matter what he said.
All of which points to a tightening up of all operations within the club, and a new direction which takes us back to the days of Brendan Rodgers, who for all his faults did try to move the club into the 21st century.
A similar programme at Ibrox was vetoed as it was felt that although they’ve won fifty five titles in just ten years, advancing socially, mentally and physically through four hundred years in a short space of time was unfeasible.
We need our football to cheer us up, things aren’t great in the real world just now.
A friend of mine has been forced to take up work with an organised crime gang, he’s driving for a chap only known as Andrew

And that guy who had a pigs heart transplanted into his body has died, which was a shock, i thought they’d done a crackling job.
To add to my woes, I was having a fly fag yesterday and a woman told me off, saying that just one of those could kill a child.
Well, thanks. Up until now I’d been using a hammer.

On a proper note, really looking forward to Monday night’s game as it should be a belter of a match up there. After Livvy, I really fancy us to put on another performance. 4-1 The Bhoys. Not been to Dundee for many a year but spent some great nights out up there after the fitba’.
There’s a bit of old school cup nostalgia to this one. Hoping for a great game and I’d take the odd goal in 5.
Agreed Charlie, if Beaton doesn’t leave his ‘orange stamp’ on it, it should be one of the games of the season. But, the 1st half vs the new huns recently would be nearly impossible to beat. Mind, we have to play that shower twice yet :))

Come out, and leave a comment FFS.
It’s a blog, it doesn’t work without comment. Having said that I’m guessing your some of those fannies who fall under “he don’t say much, and when he talks, he don’t say much”.
Don’t bite. They’re trying to wind you up and your taking it
BG, I’m fully aware of what they’re trying to do, and I haven’t ‘bitten’. I’d seek the fannies out, go toe-to-toe with all 3 (whatever) of them together and they would be no more. No more fannies. Sorry, they’d STILL be fannies, just immobile.
School bullies, IT bullies, all FN bullies.
Thanks, but no thanks, for your advice.
Are YOU so blind that you think I’m not up to this?
They’re anonymous fannies, it’s RM and D’s job…..I no longer give a fukk. BTW I posted earlier and it went to the ‘dungeon’.
Site’s been fukked for years now, harder to comment, commentless voters,……..we used to argue on here, fight mibbaes, but Politically Correct IT WAS NOT.
And now……….. not even free ‘feminine’ products available for the growing fannies that adhere. FFS!
I agree,TT, this is no way to run a site, where cowards can hide behind their wee ThumbsDowns without having to justify themselves or engage in debate as to what they don’t like.
I noticed while I was over on R.St.P’s site that himself, Owen, Christina & Jimbo, TheNadirofChiftiness, all agreed that this Kate has gone to the dogs, what with all the shadow banning and perfectly good posts lost forever thanks to one innocuous word.
Tis a shame that R.St.P removed his site, blaming me, of all people, when he could see fine well by my posts that it was Owen I was writing to and all R.St.P had to do was pass them so Owen could read them, as it was after all him they were meant for.
Anyway, this infantile Like Ye/Don’t Ye business on here is just ridiculous now, even nursery age kids could come up with a better format.
Hope you’re well, mate.
TGM, Ditto, I hope you’re well too.
I’ve GOT to say that you were never my ‘cup of Lanny’.
That’s life (Ce’st La Vie). However, you often proffer a lot of hugely valid points and to be dismissed for person and not principle is ludicrous, preposterous and hypocritical by those ‘nice’ anonymous prix.
My view? I’ll comment as long as I see ‘point’ in it. Genuine Celtic supporters need to come together, stop bickering and unify to call out the scum. The Truth. Sevco Scotland Limited. For the avoidance of doubt, “scum” includes ALL who ‘signed-up to it’ and those like PTL and ER whom passively let it go for ‘the sake of the game’. Fuckkin charlatans, not forgotten.
Hail! Hail! The REAL Glasgow Celtic.
Not Desmond’s pretence, not Lawwell’s lies, not Riley’s rubber-stamp…..you bastardz have one coming.

I mind that Charlie too, who I think is a loss to this wee locked psychy ward. He’s wandered far away. Maybe the “Chinese flu”got him or Putin had a Commando book him in for a for a loft conversion? If i’m havering go for it. If I’m wrong go for it (I was once in the 90s) but show yerself and don’t hide in the shadows. Oh to be young and watching my hero Tommy Burns again. This ain’t a rehearsal, catch the moments as the fly to quote the masonic Burns. Come on etimmers rise like lions from your slumbers.
He didn’t mean Charlie Saiz, Charlie, he meant charlie fae tge Calton, Charlie.
Didn’t you see Charlie Saiz on here two articles back greeting like a wee lassie cos Phil kicked him off his site fir being a racist and The Cha, another Charlie, told Charlie Duncan Saiz that he IS a racist as he’s proven it to us numerous times here down the years, Charlie?
Of course, if you enjoy the company of racists, there’s always the Britain First website but it’ll be Tommy Robinson instead of Tommy Burns over there.
Alternatively you could always leave Charlie Saiz a love note on here then Ralph could send him your email then you boys could get a room, or he might even let you into his attic to show you his Action Men.
But what am I talking about, you just did! 🙂
Rent Free 😉
No, you’re the fool that came on here whining like a wee lassie the other day, Dee Dee.
Prior to that I hadn’t thought of you since Phil kicked you off his site for blatant racism and the only reason you got a mention today was because Woof Charlie thought Vinnie meant you when he actually meant wee charlie small c fae the Calton.
Other than that you’re as irrelevant to me as a fart in the wind.
I told ye the other day, Duncan, if you’re missing Phil that much just use a different moniker, like Cyan O’Bacteria or the more suitable Dee Dee Grimbolt and he’ll never know the difference, I’ve been winding him up that way for years.
Not that you’d ever have the sense to think of it but you can give it a go and see how long you get away wae it before your inherent racism leaks back out again.
Oh, and mind and use a fake email or he’ll rumble ye.
You can thank me later.
You see that was the point in posting it.
Phil took it upon himself to remove part the text in one reply (one of many on his site btw) and used it as an excuse to ban me.
That text being a harmless joke aimed at the Irish Government’s stance of remaining “Militarily Neutral” ( see link below) whilst Phil openly slated the firstly the German Government for sending 5000 helmets ( they have since change their own Laws prohibiting the transfer of weapons to a warring Nation) and the U.K. for only sending Anti Tank and Anti Aircraft Missiles as a response.
My response evidently made him aware of the fact the U.K. has been involved in actually trying Ukrainian Forces in the Ukraine since 2015 when Operation Orbital and also of his apparent dismissal/ignorance of his own Government who have chosen not to send a single item other than “Political Support”.
My joke was aimed fairly and squarely at this situation which of course inevitably made him look like the Copy and paste merchant he actually is and of course resulting in him play his much used Irish Racism Card.
Ironic given my own name which he has in full on my Email Address and has some for well over 5 years on his site.
Yes as you have pointed out I’ve changed monikers from time to time but my Email has always remained the same regardless on both his,this and other sites I frequent.
Ive taken no evasive actions to let Ralph or whoever else Moderates this site to think otherwise.
Now can you say the same ?
Fairly sure Ralph could clear that up in no time if he indeed was remotely interested.
All Phil Mac has proven is that he is actually no different from those Stenographers in the MSM he routinely calls out for avoiding the issue whilst delivering a calculated misrepresentation of the facts.
ie By deliberately deleting the evidence of actual Racism.
Which both he and I know was not the case.
Now you have a nice day/week /month sweet cheeks filling this site full of your inane ramblings of Masonic Conspiracies and flat earth theories ya .
Im sure the remaining active posters will love you for it all the same.
Adios

My wife also has a Santander 123 account and it’s worth exploring too.
