I looked Artur in the eye and wondered if I could trust him


TONY MOWBRAY looked Artur Boruc straight in the eye on Thursday morning.

The new Celtic boss demanded honest answers from the Pole about his commitment to the club.
Then he gave controversial Boruc some brutal home truths.
Standards WILL be met, sloppiness on and off the park WON'T be tolerated, respect to everyone at the club is a MUST.
If not Boruc - who conceded horror goals as Celtic lost the title - will be shown the door.
Mogga insists he got the replies he wanted, though the sight of a blobby Boruc at Lennoxtown would've been alarming.
Yet he sees no reason why the shotstopper won't start the 2009-10 campaign as Celts No1 again.
Mowbray revealed: "I've had a good chat with Artur this morning.
"I only watched him from afar last season. I try to base my relationships with players on respect and trust.
"I said to Artur that as long as we have mutual respect for each other, that he understands my job and I understand his issues and problems, if he has any, then we'll be fine.
"If he has any problems then he HAS to make me aware of them. It's no good him keeping them to himself and me just judging him on a performance. If he's got other things going on in his life he needs to talk about then he should do so.
"I also talked to him about his motivational levels. Is he ready for another season? Is he ready to go again?
"He must be professional, whether he's got ideas of moving on or not. He's not intimated that to me so far.
"He understands he's got to get down to some hard work pre-season and get focused on the job.
"The biggest clubs in the world, if that's his ambition, won't come knocking if he's not performing week in week out. I think he gave me the answers I was looking for. I felt as if it was a very postiive conversation with him.
"Artur's personality suggests he's a confident boy, that he knows his ability and what he can achieve.
"But I also think he knows he needs to knuckle down and get on with the job, whether that's to be the best goalie for Celtic week in week out or whether it's to attract a huge bid from a giant somewhere round the world.
"But it's never going to happen unless he's producing for us.
"I don't see any reason why I wouldn't start the season with him as No 1. He's worked extremely hard - although I wouldn't say running is his greatest forte.
"He's practically crawling around there to make sure he does the same amount of work as the rest, and that's a great credit to him."

Mowbray added: "It's straight-forward for me with players - are you ready, are you up for it, do you want to play for our team?
"I've seen some of the goals, I've seen some of the body language.
"If one of the biggest clubs in the world come knocking for you, then am I going to stand in your way? Probably not.
"If you are telling me if its right for the club, right for you, then we've all got to push on to get to that level as we're NOT there, I don't think, at this moment.
"I tell footballers: This is the way I am, this is what I do, I do expect high standards, I don't like lazy, slovenly players.
"I like things to be done professionally. Training starts at this time, training stops at this time, when I'm talking you listen, just be good men. Don't make the kitman's life hard, don't make the laundry woman's life hard, respect everybody, let them do their jobs and we'll get on fine.
"I think there's good men here, I can see it in their eyes.
"Sometimes when you talk to players they aren't listening, they're not looking, their interest is somewhere and they're thinking 'T****r.' I've been in those dressing rooms. I went to West Brom and felt that.
"But my first impressions of these lads is that they are all good, decent animals, if that makes sense.
"Along the way some might fall by the wayside.
"How they cope with disappointment, how they cope with being dragged off every week, how they cope with the boss giving them a b********* in the dressing room with their team-mates . . . let's see."
Predecessor Gordon Strachan had plenty of nightmare moments with Boruc and Aiden McGeady but Mogga added: "I've spoken to Aiden and I'm not anticipating any problems.
"I'd like to think he should be wanting to light up our football team. He has the talent and the ability to do it and I like talented, quality footballers."

Boruc is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Neil Alexander, on the other hand...

captain's call for home bhoy scott


SCOTT McDonald will return home to Australia as Celtic skipper, having been asked to take on the captaincy for the club’s pre-season match Down Under.

With club captain Stephen McManus out injured and not travelling, McDonald has been temporarily handed the armband by manager Tony Mowbray for this one-off occasion against Brisbane Roar on July 12.

“I am absolutely delighted,” the Australian internationalist told celticfc.net. “As a lifelong Celtic supporter, I realise just how great an honour it is to be given the captaincy for this match.

“I’d like to thank the manager for this opportunity. My family will be among the thousands of supporters who are all looking forward to the club’s visit and it will, personally, be a real honour to lead the team out on this rare trip to Australia.”

The game on July 12 at the Suncorp Stadium will kick-off Celtic’s pre-season preparations, which also include a friendly at Cardiff’s new stadium, the prestigious Wembley Cup and games against Sunderland and Manchester City.

Manager Tony Mowbray added: “We obviously realise how important a trip this is for the football club as a whole and it’s a fantastic opportunity for us to play in front of our supporters in Australia.

“They support the team faithfully, but don’t get the opportunity to see us play very often and we realise how much this visit means to them.

“We thought it would be fitting that an Australian-born Celtic player leads the team out in Brisbane and we are all looking forward to the match. We hope that the supporters enjoy the occasion.”

His first cap?

Borat's blunders are hilarious.. never seen Alexander make mistakes like him!

Euro 2008 Team of the Tournament

..if he was keeper of the tournement, he'd be in the team of the tourny.

..and getting into the Polish national team couldn't be that hard, to be honest.

Best Goalkeeper in Euro 2008 is…? - Who is the best goalkeeper in Euro 2008? - Internet's definitive top list - most, greatest of everything ranked User Contributed Rankings - ShareRanks.com

Boruc was in bad last season, every player gets it

An on form boruc is world class.
Didn't he make two great saves against the might Kris Boyd? 'scotlands most lethal goalscorer'?

Boruc has done more good than he has bad and I would like you to show me a compilation of Neil Alexanders great games and saves.....cos I have lots with Artur

Boruc could be 20 stone and he'd still be a better keeper than Neil Alexander.

Boruc, on his day is one of the best 'keepers in the world. See Euro 2008.

Alexander, on his day isn't even the best 'keeper in Glasgow.

While i agree that Boruc is the a fantastic goalkeeper and better than Alexander,i find the bold bit funny

How can he be best in Glasgow when Boruc is one of the best in the world . Kinda obvious

EDIT - If there's ever a need of proof that weight doesn't matter,ask Andy Goram aka The Flying Pig.

I said "isn't even the best 'keeper in Glasgow."

Andy Goram was a fantastic 'keeper.
