Waiting on the Hearts game. It seems to have taken an age - weekend's are boring without your team playing However, do you think this was a good time of year to have the mini-split? It's at the same time as the trasfer window - now some might argue it gives the management and scouting teams more time to concentrate on potential targets while the team while the team do hot weather training and a bit of chilling in the middle of the season.. But, maybe it is more likely a player will leave during the window if we're on a break? I'm hoping not. The winter break and a bonding session for the squad could help prevent players talking to their agents and suitors or it could encourage it. From a selfish point of view, it's a crap couple of weeks to have no football - post-Christmas and stuck hanging about with the wife n weans. That being said, should we keep our squad together and get the team refreshed, I'll argue that this short break in January is just what the game (well, Celtic really) needed
A certain irony in that this weekend is meant to be freezing and half the games will probably be called off Bib. When was the last one about 2000? I seem to remember it was when Advocaat was still at Rangers. I think it actually worked that time though as conditions turned pretty bad at the time of the actual break. I doubt you will lose anyone during the break. With the Juventus game coming up why should they leave just now unless it was a really big club coming in for them. The big clubs would be more liable to wait to see how any potential targets fare in the Juve tie. The January window has been pretty quiet these last few years for all Scottish clubs. I do think you will lose a couple in the summer though. That's good though you need change every now and then so things don't get stagnant. As for hanging with your wife and weans, aye right. You were loving it at the carnival sitting watching The Hobbit while simultaneously building a bear from The bear factory or whatever it's called now. Then onto the science museum via pizza hut after colouring in Alvin and the Chipmunks kiddy distraction books in the aforementioned artery hardening eatery. Home to sacrifice the big televised English game to Toy Story 3, emasculated by Enid Blyton, sit on the foosty half-eaten selection box that's melted in yer car. You loved it big man
