  1. I had my ticket but I can’t go as I’m now in hospital! Absolutely gutted as I have missed a lot this season due to ill health so I have been building up to this one! I am taking the fact I am being forced to miss out as a sure fire sign we are winning this!! Everyone that’s going just get right behind the whole team for the full game - let’s bring this one home. 

  2. Of course it means something to Celtic. That's why the score is what it is.

     

    Take Hammell and Lasley out the team and we're capable of taking a doing off any team in the league.

    Exactly...

     

    My point was simply that they're already champions, money in the pot (just like us) and they're not treating it like it doesn't matter. Saying it doesn't matter is no excuse for a lack of effort and desire, especially when fans are paying quite a bit of money to support you. Just glad that's over!

     

    Hopefully Keith and Hammy sign again and we start looking to succession plan - we definitely miss their presence, even if they're not world beaters!

  3. This game means nothing.

    It means nothing in terms of our league position but it means something, particularly for those paying money to go and watch it! It obviously means something to Celtic, too...7 goals and still looking for more? Must mean something to someone...just wish our players realised that at kick off.

  4. That is my concern Linsey, I am not sure if we are developing younger players who can sustain the instant success that they are currently experiencing. Older experienced players like Mandy cant play forever and if they are not preparing for the future it will come back and bite them in the arse.

    Exactly - I know a number of the current players and they've gelled because they already know each other well. This has brought immediate results but I'm actually quite disappointed that's the route the club have gone down. It detracts a bit from the community club approach to it. I would love to see the women's game flourish but it's not realistic to think that can happen at the moment and it's not (as I see it; perhaps I'm wrong) going to bring in much in the way of commercial gain. Nice to see silverware etc but a big part of me would actually have liked to see us continue to build on the original (unpaid) group of girls through coaching and development, drawing in the more talented players over time because of the set-up. Unfortunately, it's definitely a case of friends recruiting friends - talented players, yes, but not really what I'd hoped for. We digress but glad to have that off my chest!!

  5. There's been a big influx of players who played together in their younger days and that had ousted the girls who were originally recruited. I'm also hearing that they are being paid a weekly wage, too. Keen to know where that funding is coming from! Clearly aiming to climb into a better league quickly but there has to be some development going on to have a strong team when they get there.

  6.  

    Mandy Burns is a superb player and similar to a few of girls in the current side she has played at a very high level throughout her footballing career. Her distribution of the ball is second to none and she is also a great finisher to boot. They are too good for the league they are currently in, however, last nights cup final opponents Rangers ran them close in the first half. We are an ageing side though and it will be interesting to see how they cope when these experienced older players decide to hang up their boots.

  7. Not a direct response to you at all. Just a response to the constant criticism of the guy...it's tiring me out so can't begin to think how he feels listening to it week in week out.

     

    Just wish we would focus on getting behind the guys we've got - like it or not, they are pulling on the jersey and working hard for us...they're not perfect but they're ours!!

  8. The criticism Humphrey gets is way over the top. The guy isn't perfect and I know he made a few mistakes last night but he also worked his backside off and, in my opinion, created quite a number of very good chances for us - often despite having at least 2 men on him.

     

    It's no wonder his head goes down sometimes...let's be realistic about the players we have and those we can (or can't) afford!

  9. Some may have failed to notice that every time the ball went near Humphrey, Pana had two men on him - we didn't get the ball across to him quickly enough nor did we make good use of the space this created elsewhere. Although the lads worked hard, we just weren't as fluid as Pana. We took the pace off the ball going forward (with a few exceptions) and that will hinder our wide players effectiveness. Too many telegraphed passes unfortunately...the difference in experience at that level did show.

     

    Thought the lads acquitted themselves well throughout the game though and it will have been a great experience for all of them. No matter what happens in Athens - they can be very proud of themselves!

  10. The injustice of the nonsense has got my back up more than anything else football related for a while now.

     

    I find Daryl Broadfoots tweets jaw droppingly inappropriate and unproffessional for the SFA press officer to be making. Not too surprising from him though since he once described the Motherwell support as "the most cretinous in the league".

     

    The whole thing is beyond stupid. Totally over the top and inconsistent. Only way to avoid offence is to stop playing altogether..I am offended every time the opposition score against us!

     

    No more goal celebrations - just watch it go in, turn and go back to the centre...do not breathe - it may be offensive! Lol

     

    Seriously, the idea isn't necessarily wrong but the process and application of it is a mile out. How Broadfoot can keep saying "the clubs agreed and only moan when it suits" just makes it even more laughable. We all know why clubs, not just ours, are finding this ridiculous...
