There was an expression to describe rolling up your sleeves and getting stuck into a difficult task in shit conditions.   “Character building”.

Dont know if Dubai didn’t fit the bill for character building or whether we just didn’t have any characters to build.

Either way we gained nothing that could be of use on the battlefields of Tynecastle and Rugby Park.

Pretty sure that wasn't the only era when we had training days at Gullane sands and whilst we may well not have been dominating the league around that time we were certainly competitive and winning the odd cup in that period, Also the scum were not chasing 9iar never mind 10iar.

You're spot on

It is not fitness we lack but the will to out battle and win. How we get that in to highly paid players who can take the huff and basically down tools and walk away, is anyones guess.

I doubt there will be any fitba never mind pre/mid season trips with this virus. I doubt we'll even see the end of this season's league fixtures. The whole of fucking Europe will be on lockdown.

Can you imagine The meltdown from The always cheated never defeated brigade should this virus halt their 9iar 😂

That side was one of the fittest football teams in the history of our club.

Football fitness is just not all about running distances. 8 or 9km for the average midfielder.

Football fitness comprises of power, flexibility, turn of pace, strength, vision and the obvious cardio work.

I'm sure Richard Gough used to lap the pitch at Ibrox 20 times before a game.

It was part of his warm up.

Wee Bud preferred a can of beer and a fag in the dressing room.

Just get them across to the Gullane Sands. 

Never did the teams of yore any harm. 

 

I'd have it as a punishment and keep the 'Exotic Winter Break Trips' as a reward.

Don't give us 100% in the games = Training sessions at Gullane sands

Give 100% in the games = Exotic Winter Break Trips' as a reward

He's not spot on because we hadn't been relegated to the lower divisions

Fucking ridiculous to suggest that running around sand dunes would have us winning silverware

paisley-blue-loyal      wasn't saying that it would have this current squad winning anything,    he was pointing out that it just wasn't under Greig we trained at Gullane
