johnnyk 158 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The Gullane 'Murder Hill' work was totally psychological, it was never about fitness and all about mentality and believing you were fitter than the opposition. Wallace was a far, far shrewder man-manager than he is ever given credit for and Gullane Sands was his masterpiece in mental warfare. There is a fascinating interview with Gary Linekar where he talks about Wallace, it's worth trying to find he gives a very different impression of the man than many still hold. I take it you've never ran up and down murder hill then lots of teams still use it today for fitness. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GovanAllan 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I will say a bit of both it got you fit while teaching your body that it could go that extra bit more than you think it can. I used to train going up a grass hill in Crossford, up the hill then down the path at the side. It did make you realise that in that last 10 mins of a game when you think you are done and have nothing left in the tank, you can get that last run down the wing or sprint onto a through ball. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 For once I'll stick up for Ally well sort of, this finished by Lunch has been going for years at Auchenhowie and before. I find it unprofessional that pros finish by lunchtime, especially when their peers in other countries are working all day. No wonder the game in Scotland is headed to the dogs when our "professionals" train for 3 hours a day. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of how little they do. Is quite awful and explains why we in Scotland are falling so badly behind. Time for change methinks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bluenose80 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Why did we spend £14 Million on a state of the art training facility if the players/ coaches don't bother their arses to use it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

amms 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Probably wasnt, sorry amms It might have been on radio or TV actually. He was very complimentary of Wallace, particularly about his man-management and his ability to give you self belief. It was him that explained the psychology of 'murder hill'. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wasp 0 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 question of the week.
