Rory DelapGUEST
13:53
Yeah.
Rory DelapGUEST
13:53
So I went, I signed for Southampton, went to La Manga.
Rory DelapGUEST
13:56
They were over in La Manga when I signed.
Rory DelapGUEST
13:59
You know, we had some great players at the time in that Southampton squad.
Rory DelapGUEST
14:03
You know, James Beattie, Wayne Bridge, Chrissie Marsden, Jason Dodd, Matt Letizia was still there.
Joe NewellGUEST
23:06
And this is probably the frustrating thing because the results haven't reflected of what we've been feeling in training.
Joe NewellGUEST
23:12
And we had a great camp in La Manga when he first arrived and a couple of bounce games that we've done really well in and then you know you have that kind of lift off and everyone's thinking oh this looks brilliant and then you lose Dundee United first one and you're like so it's been like I say it's been tough but yeah Yeah, I do think we're turning in the right direction.
Darrell CurrieHOST
23:33
What about his personality? Because obviously we've seen the pictures in the dressing room after the game.
Darrell CurrieHOST
23:37
I spoke to him before the game as well last week.
Ashley NeavesHOST
9:44
the nice ending to the story is both of those brothers who were very good are both back in tennis now and actually tennis coaches as well so it's a nice ending and both very very skillful tennis players even to today but the good news is I very rarely lose to them even though they had a lot more ability than me
Kevin PalmerHOST
10:02
Actually, I've been down in La Manga, as you know, the last few days with my daughter and she's been giving me a chase around.
Kevin PalmerHOST
10:06
I posted a message, didn't I, Greg, of her acing me on the centre court at La Manga.
Kevin PalmerHOST
10:11
I don't think my positioning was particularly good from your perspective, was it?
Greg RusedskiHOST
10:14
Well, it wasn't, but you know, you got to build confidence in a player as well.
Patrick McPartlinHOST
18:20
And I just think, you know, it just seems to work.
Patrick McPartlinHOST
18:22
And, you know, I think, you know, initially when you looked at the time in La Manga and how that sort of panned out in terms of results and everyone's going, well, you know, what were they doing in Spain? Because nothing's changed.
Patrick McPartlinHOST
18:34
And things had changed, but it was so kind of minimal in the first sort of couple of games that, you know, you did wonder what had changed.
Patrick McPartlinHOST
18:40
But I think maybe just getting that time with the players away from the kind of media glare, away from HTC it's a change of scene it's the international break so you can just kind of focus on things I know they had players away on international duty but I think just having that 30 minutes with each player to sit down and just like what makes them tick what gets them going what's important to them who are they as a person because it's about who they are as a person and not just a footballer and I think it feels like they're kind of using that to sort of channel this sort of togetherness thing And, you know, it's like no matter, you know, whether you're coming to the end of your career, whether you're a young player, whether you're, you know, you've been at Easter Road for six, seven years, whether you arrived in the summer, you're all the same.
MattyHOST
12:27
That one.
MattyHOST
12:29
The game in La Manga against the Uni team.
MattyHOST
12:31
Aye.
MattyHOST
12:32
Or however many we scored against Kelly in that pre-season.
Patrick McPartlinHOST
47:01
You've then got...
Patrick McPartlinHOST
47:02
the time in La Manga, which almost makes it feel like there's been more games, more competitive games than there actually have been.
Patrick McPartlinHOST
47:09
So that's just three games, three competitive games.
Patrick McPartlinHOST
47:12
It's not an awful lot of time or an awful lot of minutes to kind of learn about, you know, players that work together well, players who are able to do things.
MattyHOST
36:18
again McGregor's however many caps for Scotland less than Grant Hanley less than Grant Hanley a lot more medals than Grant Hanley though again like he's been the coach been Celtic captain for however long so it's like it's understandable that we're not going to be on top in that game and we're going to be in and out of the game and Celtic had spells where they had us under pressure but you've got to deal with that and I thought we did by and large but for most of the match John Kilkerry said surprised no one mentioned how bad Matondo is so far considering his background just on that J-Star said Matondo's a poor player and Cleary isn't a left winger and Caden has done and WTYTF said Matondo has no football intelligence
ColinHOST
37:01
we need to give him a break right like he's been I don't know how long he was out of contract and all that we've picked him up and obviously we've got rave reviews right because we over exaggerated everything that happened in La Manga so But he's shown flashes, right? He had that run at Dundee United, heavy touch at the end, but the break to get through.
ColinHOST
37:18
Then he got the boy booked on the weekend when he knocked Meghdam against, or last weekend, sorry, against Falkirk.
ColinHOST
37:23
Went past them and done him.
Marink ReedijkGUEST
2:04
And they really bought into the ideas.
Marink ReedijkGUEST
2:07
They really liked what we did in training camp in La Manga and everybody's fully on board.
Marink ReedijkGUEST
2:15
So there is a big willingness, a big and great intention to do the things like we want.
Marink ReedijkGUEST
2:21
And you see also glimpses and steps in that.

6 MINS LATER

Marink ReedijkGUEST
8:43
But if you say confidence for something, but what is it then, then we cannot work on it.
Marink ReedijkGUEST
8:49
So therefore, confidence for me is a little bit of a tricky word always.
Luke ShanleyCORRESPONDENT
8:55
You mentioned the players and having them in La Manga.
Luke ShanleyCORRESPONDENT
8:57
How key was that to have those couple of weeks or week in there? And what does that mean for the buy-in that you've got from the players?
AndyHOST
22:35
Is it worth asking the question, could we increase that? If you were to increase that by two or three pound, the difference that that could potentially make It could create another coaching role.
AndyHOST
22:48
It could create, let's say it creates £50,000 or £100,000 and we could take away the girls and boys of the squads and allow them to get some warm weather training again, go out to La Manga or go to Dubai.
AndyHOST
23:05
Or as a golf club member, is that where you want your money spent? Because I know that a lot of the members that I speak to, they're not really too fussed.
AndyHOST
23:16
They just want to play their golf, play their medals, have a pint, have a coffee and go down the road.
MarkHOST
2:08
We've been visiting Dennis Waterman's final resting, not his final resting place, but where he lived at the end of his life, his last seven or eight years.
MarkHOST
2:17
He lived in Spain in La Manga Club and myself and Andy made a pilgrimage
AndyHOST
2:23
there to
MarkHOST
2:24
did
AndyHOST
3:49
Yeah,
MarkHOST
3:49
we've got the place where he did a charity benefit show for breast cancer and things like that.
MarkHOST
3:54
So he's obviously was a little bit of a local celebrity, played a lot of golf, as you would do in La Manga Club.
MarkHOST
4:00
And yeah, it's generally a top bloke of the area.
