football nice scotland
Do I miss football in Scotland? It keeps you really alive, that's for sure. Your heartbeat fluctuates. I'm flatlining at the moment which is actually quite nice but you need to go up and down to stay alive.
party winning two
The world looks a totally different place after two wins. I can even enjoy watching Blind Date or laugh at Noel's House Party.
player reality two
It wasn't an easy decision to leave out Bobo, because I could have done that with two or three from the back four. But there's a limit to the players you have and the changes you can make. The reality is we're not defending well enough. But we just have to plug on. There's no magic formula.
football jobs team
The reality, ... is that I need to win games of football. That's where the pressure and the sleepless nights come from. There's a fantasy pressure with this job but none of that matters. I need to make this team into a good unit, need to take it forward, give it a change of pace, need to get it younger and to use the experience of the lads we've got here. I need Lennon and Sutton and people like that to go and show how you handle being a Celtic player.
football goal laughing
I'm going to miss his childlike laugh. I'll forget the goals but I'll never forget that laugh.
football three done
He could have done one of three things. He didn't do either.
despair matter depth
Sometimes to go forward you've got to go to the depths of your own personal despair and claw yourself back. From that point, no matter what happens, you know you can do it.
home player knows
All the really good players I know, they all knew right from wrong. So many of them don't learn that at home nowadays.
believe player people
Believe me, you need good people if you want to make good players.
home bridges wrecks
I'm just going to crumble like a wreck. I'll go home, become an alcoholic and maybe! jump of a bridge.
soccer football asking
If you keep asking me questions, I will continue to find excuses.
sports scotland feelings
I get the feeling a lot of politicians are there to help themselves financially, first and foremost. I don't really need to do that, and I thought if I could do something for sport in Scotland, that would be really fulfilling.
thinking two celtic
I did think there were one or two referees who had a personal thing against me. It wasn't them versus Celtic - it was them against me! I just think they wanted to take me on.
responsibility needs responsibilities-in-life
You need responsibility in life.
