Celtic poised to sign McAllister

davie what are you on about? You questioned the idea of signing a player because he had played a gaelic sport, and we're just letting you know that there have been plenty of examples of guys who played both gaelic sport and football.

 

They are off the top of my head.

Shane Long is a friend of a friend.

 

bla bla bla , same old same old,, , have u nothing new,,,to add, ,dempsey come here closer,,,listen, we have t,vs too and news papers ,,and most have p,cs ,,we can read and see and watch too,, u know,, just thought id share that with u,, now go back to where u were before i said comere oh 1 more thing, an aussie rules fitness coach,,and that different from ,,what other coach? and another ,,1 more thing,, name the highly regarded sports scientists,, please listen to ure self ausie rules fitness guy,, sports scientists,,and trying to get the wage bill down,,and restructure , contracs,,
u missed out one miner detail ,

guess what it is,, we need players for all the above,,,just thought id remind u of this

 

Aussie rules fitness & fitness coaching is of a higher standard than football.

Its nothing new to you because I've had to repeat myself several times.

 

athletes no matter what, are trained for there spacific sport,,,, there are great football coaches who go to learn to teach and train footballers

#
there are trainers for rugby,

tenis

u name it,,

theres pros for it,,athletes are built differentlt,,i.e aussie rules guy,, upper body strenth,, to use the funny shaped ball

footballer, speed stamina, skill ,

the 2 sports couldent get much further apart ,, ball different,,, shape of player different,,,,

rules very different,,, time on match different,,

will i carry on,,

 

i know ure right,, u come out with pish every day latley.,, and i still think ure at the wind up,,or i may wake up,, and its all been a dream

 

Fitness coaching has little to do with the skill of any sport. Its all fitness

 

you tell him greendave! Roy Keane played hurling until he got a bad injury and then turned to football.

 

Big mad mental Davie fae Glesga, thinks he's a * ticket calling people names on a message board haha. Get a grip bud.

My point is this, we signed Sheridan from an Irish League team a year ago and the progress he's made has been amazing. How do you know this McAlister bhoy won't do the same?

Y-O-U-R-M-A-K-I-N-G-A-N-A-R-S-E-O-F-Y-O-U-R-S-E-L-F-!-!-!-!

 

Also about gailiec footballers stokes played it aswel as rugby

 

You really are thick arent you? Either that or you are just very stubborn and refuse to concede any point in an argument/debate Davie.

Of course new sports equipment and better facilities helps to improve you as a player.
Having spent 3 years at Sportscotland down in Largs as a sports science student i can assure you mate that the better the equipment and facilities are then the more you are going to improve!!!

As for your throwaway comments about pele training with a coconut and wee jinky roond his back (did you know he used a tennis ball) these guys had natural talent for the game and thats the way it is with some players. Some fortunate people i.e. pele, jinky, maradona and ronaldo have natural talent just like ronnie osullivan in snooker he has a natural talent for playing snooker. Unfortunatley for the rest of us that are not so gifted we have to train more and practice harder and beleive me davie the better quality your equipment the better your results will be and that my friend is a FACT whether you like it or not

 

Look, i'm all for snapping up 10 young footballers at 100k a go. If one of them makes it to a reasonably high standard then we will have made our money back. If our Irish connections make us extra attractive to promising players in Ireland then lets exploit that. It doubles the population pool of potential players that see Celtic as one of THE big clubs.

For too long Celtic have sat bavck and expected us to fiind our talent within 20 miles of Parkhead like it was in the Lions era. That doesn't happen any more.

I do think that WGS pays more attention to the youth setup than MON did. Look at the way Maloney came through. Alot of it is down to finances but i do think WGS is more interested in improving young players.

 

i only asked u to name them ,thats all,,,the scientists,,oz fitness guy,and aggerssivley reducing wages bill,and give me info on the type of contracs ,

is it to much to ask,, tell me who and what ,,,

 

And thats all I did. I only asked if "behind the scenes" was a bad or misleading description. You're overreacting mate.

 

what about clive woodward joining southampton? was he not an international rugby coach brought into a football club?

 

you wilalways get exceptions to the rule,,,but they are few and far between and was his appointment no met by a few doubtors,,

and dident they get relegated,,,,might be wrong , but i think they did



NEXT

 

i live bout 3 miles from dungannon lol

 

Davie, people are pointing out these expections to the rule because you post in a manner that exceptions dont happen.

Like our oz fitness coaches, there are people that crossover that dont have the media attention that the likes of woodward gets, i.e we dont hear about it

 

I apologise to everyone for throwing this off topic again but I wont be made the fool I can't believe you're hauling me up for saying 100%. But then again you have been talking complete rubbish ALL of this thread.

Your other quote 'Strachans destorying the team' is wrong on so many levels its not even worth discussing. The main point of this thread however is regarding this guy Mcallister. Why so much fuss for signing a hot prospect on the cheap? What if he turns into the next Rooney, no in fact if he turned into a Liam Miller or McGeady. I bet you wouldn't be so gutted about losing the weekly pennies if thats the case.

Also its a well known fact (if you listen to Lawell) that Strachans era has seen a complete restructure of the back-end of the club, INCLUDING as Dempsey said our scouting network - just google for some Strachan quotes about this. Also in recent seasons Aiden McGeady, Shaun Maloney, John Kennedy, Liam Miller, Darren O'Dea, Craig Beattie and Stephen McManus have all emerged from the youth ranks at Celtic to make major contributions for the first team and (youth coach) McLaughlin insists there are more to follow.

What exactly is your beef with our setup? Won the league 13 points clear of the gers, got last 16 in Europe, Scottish Cup final to win and as previously stated we have a great setup. Obviously there have been poor performers of late but why dont you give Strachan the chance to reinvigorate the team over the summer now that theres now (excluding the cup) nothing to play for!
