But how would we have done with a good goalie in place? Only joking.

Those three defeats to Falkirk will go down as one of life's great mysteries and I suspect JBA still loses sleep over it. I suppose it could be explained by concluding that the spawny, diving Bairns got every refereeing decision in their favour and we got hee-haw but I'm not really qualified to judge 🤣.

That is class from Skippy A professional guy who was just doing his job that day, on the subject of that day I had no idea up til about a year ago Rab Douglas in goals that day is a big Motherwell fan. He mentioned in an interview with Tam Cowan

Believe it or not I was in having a few pints before the game yesterday, I bumped into a Rangers fan. Known the guy for years and a really nice guy He wanted to ask me a serious question which was why do Motherwell fans hate Rangers so much? We dont see this same level of hatred with Celtic. I said just try going to a Motherwell v Celtic game and you might think different but didnt seem to believe me. He also suggested we dont give Rangers the whole of the South Stand any longer and why is this? I corrected him as of course , both Rangers, Celtic and Hearts have sold out this stand . There is a definete paranoia thing here I was thinking but we left it at that. Decent bloke like I say . Anyway moving on to Wednesday's game I find it quite comical now that Martin O'Neill lost a league title at Fir Park in 2005 and potentially lose another one should things go according to plan. Hopefully no 98th minute winners, or wrecking off the Seats

Exactly, pumped sellik 2-0 In December , won 3-2 at ibrox. Drew with hearts 3 times. We go for it every game...well apart from lieing doon against Falkirk 🤣🤣

I watched an old interview with Skippy recently, and you can see he was still annoyed about Celtic fans asking him why he scored and celebrated on Skippy Sunday. As he pointed out, he's a professional footballer playing for his team and his team mates (and his win bonus that paid for his summer holiday at that time). And went on to say the Celtic fans shouldn't have been asking him why he did his job, they should have been asking the Celtic players why they didn't do their's. The same goes for whoever finishes second this season. Should have done a better job.

This is desperate, desperate stuff, intit? The Celtic "fairy dust" isn't as strong as their deluded fans imagine. I remember Tommy Coyne telling them where they could go when they came sniffing around him again during his long, hot spell at Fir Park (wottaguy!). All our boys will be out for the three points on Wednesday so COYW!

Funniest scenario would be if JBA gives Halliday a 3 minute "goodbye" cameo at the end of the match and he concedes a pen that leads to a Celtic win. The OF conspiracy nuts would be trying to work that one out until this time next year.

Obviously Watt will try as he’s off to Rangers, Just probably not since he’s Celtic bound. Surely it depends if JBA has said to Slats and Faddy there’s a place for them in the East End with him next season 😜

All four of Celtic backline were booked in today’s game showing they can be got at and panic. Definitely think we’re getting something out of this. And as good as Maeda’s overhead was today he missed two easier chances. Gordon and SODs will have him/them in pocket anyway 😊

They're basically accusing our players of cheating. I can't imagine any professional not playing to win, especially when we still haven't guaranteed our European spot. Can you imagine guys like Watt, Just, Fadinger and Slattery thinking "Aye, let's lose this one"?

One or two Jambos spouting the same pish on Pie & Bovril. Welsh cant play, McGinn is said to be injured, which leaves SOD as the only identifiable "Sellic Man" in our team, and I think he has done enough in his time here to prove that lying down is not in his make up.

Agree with that. Despite assurances that VAR wouldn't be refereeing games, it quickly headed in that direction and players are trying to use it to their advantage.

One of the good things about this team is that, even when we are not playing at our best, the workrate and detrmination to run for one another is always there. Im not saying we have enough to win on Wednesday. But we certainly have enough about us not to lose, regardless of who starts. Gonna be another cracking night under the lights.

I read a few Sevco fans already spouting their conspiracy theories last night that Motherwell were going to lie down to Celtic because of all the "Celtic connections" in our team and because JBA wants the Celtic job. Peak OF paranoia. You'd think if they were that worried they wouldn't have rolled over in today's game.

I thought the referee got all the big decisions correct so fair play to him. Shankland pushes Welsh for the Hearts goal, Maswanhise stands on Kyziridis foot but football is a physical game, I don't see either as fouls. Teams are appealing for every marginal decision these days hoping to get a soft decision on review. We did it, Hearts did it. It's just another negative aspect of VAR.

Id love him to still be here next season, but realistically? He deserves a big move. I just hope its to a different league and for a hefty transfer fee. We will need to replace him somehow!

Celtic have kept 1 clean sheet in their last 12 league matches and that was against St Mirren who can't score against anyone. So there should be at least 1 goal there for us. Celtic's last 5 away matches they have a draw, a loss and three jammy 2-1 wins. Clearly this game is doing to be down to how we defend. If we can keep Celtic to 1 or 0 we are probably getting something out the game. We have some defensive issues but only Falkirk have scored more than once against us at Fir Park since August so I still think we should be going into this match with confidence. And lets remember we are playing for guaranteed European football so it's not like are just playing to spoil someone else's party. Although that would be nice too...

Just seems to have an auto-charge function. He runs about like a maniac, gets chopped and looks like he's crocked. Then 10 seconds later, jumps back up again and off he goes. If he has a strong World Cup he could bring in a nice transfer fee. Not that I want him to leave, but he's been my player of the season. Fantastic business bringing him in.

Same players, though, and they were fortunate to beat us at Celtic park with the dodgy pen. And just as reminder, only Falkirk have picked up 3 points at Fir Park this season.

They also had a manager completely out his depth and they were in the middle of one of their worst domestic runs in decades. That takes nothing away from how brilliant we were that night as all of that was outwith our control but I strongly suspect that things will be different on Wednesday night as they will be going hell for leather to get the result.

Our starting 11 last time we cuffed them at Fir Park was: Ward O'Donnell Sparrow McGinn Koutroumbis Slattery Fadinger Watt Priestman Said Just

Going to be a very tough game on Wednesday with some key defenders missing. We best be keeping a high percentage of posession, although, having Fadinger back should help. I really want us going into last game with 4th spot tied up. Not sure that Rangers will help us any as they are now stuck in third spot with nothing to play for. Come on Motherwell let’s finish home schedule on a high and beat Celtic again.

You'll not be going then.
