I could be tempted to say we will never have a better chance to beat them because they are one of the poorest Celtic teams in years. That said I've seen us fall to beat this mob in any incarnation in 11 years so I have zero confidence that we can beat them tomorrow. The last game at Celtic Park completely encapsulates our efforts against Celtic over the years. Different day same capitulation when we had them. A sore one tomorrow definately on the cards. There will be plenty plaudits and empty positives but we will still get the same points as we'd get from a horsing
I've never been so delighted to be a mile out. As fine a performance I've ever seen us play against Celtic.

So, the optimists will see this a chance of bouncing back and ending a run of eleven(?) losses in as many of our last home games against Celtic.
But this won’t be any different.
Either 0-4 or 2-3 with them scoring the winner in stoppage time.
Either way we just don’t have what it takes to win this one.

Can't believe you can't buy a ticket online or PATG for celtic game. Everyone who doesn't have a season ticket will need to go through that tiny wee office...
They are probably trying to deter the scum / animals who destroy fir park every time they visit. However easier said than done.

The law of averages means you could get one right eventually.
That was exact strategy sign dozens in the hope of getting one or two decent ones.

The fact we are talking about outside chance of title shows the progress under JBA. Could all go pear shaped next 2 games but if we could come away with say 3 or 4 pts it would be great.
No way are we winning league and imo 4th is our aim. However we have all that Miller money so no reason why we cant try and get a few gems in January or some clever loan deals especially players needing game time for world cup chances
There every reason to suspect JBA has an eye for a player unlike Kettlewells scatter gun approach so we could see some decent transfer activity and with Jordan McGhee on the verge of selection we could end January with the strongest squad we've had in many a year.

OK, everyone knows we are 6 clean sheets in a row.
But I was looking at our home record and we've only conceded against Falkirk in the last seven home matches going back all the way to September.
Aberdeen 2-0
Falkirk 1-2
Dundee United 2-0
Hibernian 2-0
Hearts 0-0
Livingston 3-0
Dundee 1-0.
The defence tightening at the right time for our league challenge 😉

Our final ball and finishing were crap for large spells today, but that’s nothing new. Overall though, it was a professional performance and we got the job done. If we can hold onto our key players and sign a striker who knows where the goal is in January, we’re winning the league.
Correct, I'm surprised to hear some Motherwell fans saying we were poor yesterday. I think it's just our expectations have risen so much. We played well today but Dundee set out to frustrate, not to match us and yeah the final ball was poor at times however had we played like that last season we'd all be saying how good we were.
-
Made it hard for ourselves today. A bit of frustration in the stand but I think that's because our expectations have risen. Our final ball was poor but we still dominated and thoroughly deserved the win. McGinn and Welsh were outstanding. I know he scored but I really dint know how Slattery got man of the match. He's was consistently poor today. However thats small beer in and otherwise decent day and result.

Depends who JBA's replacement wants to keep
I did laugh at that but you know it would be such a Motherwell thing that he gets poached off us before we even get started 🫣

I was sitting at the back of the stand chatting to our group before kick off, when a steward approached and eyeballed me. In an aggressive fashion he said standing was not permitted at games. I replied that I knew and that was why I wasn't standing. I also pointed out politely that 80% of the crowd was standing and he should address that. He then kicked off and threatened to have me ejected for disruptive behaviour. A totally manuactured problem.
Over the years the stewards at Tannadice and Dens have earned a reputation for being unjustifiably troublesome. Given that and my experience I'm always sceptical of accepting accounts at face value. Yes the behaviour of some in Block E can be OTT at times, but in my admittedly limited dealings with them they've always been perfectly fine.
Yes they do and as I said in my post the stewards aren't blameless but the Well Bois in front of us in the Q going into Tannadice were foul mouthed abusive and generally being obnoxious and entitled this in turn was met by the same reaction from the stewards. It was a situation that was easily avoidable. I find it utterly amazing that how some of our fans can attend every match home and away for 50 odds years, myself included , and have never been ejected from the ground or had any confrontation with the police or stewards. I guess we must just be lucky.

I thought things had been improving and then we had the pyro show at Falkirk. They do a lot of good but they really need to weed out the bad element that is tarring them all with the same brush
They were acting like arseholes at Tannadice. Their sense of entitlement saw them locked out the game because they because abusive to Stewards . Doesn't matter a fuck what you think of stewarding had they not acted like entitled arseholes they'd have got into the game. No doubt we'll get the persecution response of "heavy hands empty stands"

only 80% is shocking, the teams slacking and need a kick up the arse - we had 93% the other week!
On a serious note another point and another clean sheet away from home ain’t that bad.
Said in jest I know but 80% is low for us we are generally 84/85%.

Poorest game of the season outwith the semi final.
i would have been happy with point at the start and im ok with that now. Conditions were bad.
Ward and MgGinn again were excellent.
I'm in two minds , sort of happy with the point but by fuck Utd are utter shite that's two points dropped.

Not been great recently, maybe wee spell on bench needed and give priestman a run
He was the poorest on the team today. He's back to the way he was playing before his long term injury involved in unnecessary fouls and passing was shocking.

Mate who's a Killie fan sitting in the stand just text me to say he's getting dogs abuse.😁.
Surely that means he resigns in the morning and blames it all on the fans.

Camera zoomed in on him in the stand , head in his hands looks a seriously haunted figure .

LOL Kettlewell sent off, losing the plot. He knows his times coming.

Martindale is right other than...
3 goals to better60/40 possession
7/1 shots on target
540 v/s 392 passes
but other than that it was very close
It's weird watching us and having such a level of certainty by 60 mins that we'll win the game. Our game management has come on leaps and bounds.If you look at the "in detail stats" on the BBC site, a lot of the Livi markers are close to ours. However the ones that win the games were in our favour. I think that's maybe what he's getting at. We were comfortable winners and Ward having an outstanding save will do his confidence no harm. No failures but best for me were McGinn , SOD and Koutroumbis. Fadinger , Watt and Slattery did a good job but the defenders shade it for me, utterly composed and stuck to our play out from the back ethos.
I still think Livi are a better footballing side than Dundee , Kilmarnock and St Mirren and apart from against us I'd like to see them get a wee rub of the green.
Had a fiver on us at 14/1 to win 3-0, but shat out it and cashed out at £57.

Trump getting a peace prize tells you everything you need to know about FIFA as an organisation.
The actual draw tells you more. Talk about a fixed piece of corruption. Seeding should be banned in all sports and 3 layers of seeding that FIFA do is outrageous.

I'm a bit nervous about this game. I've watched a few Livinstone games and they are far from the worst team I've seen. They been very unlucky in a number of games. Although bottom I think they are better than Dundee, Killie and St Mirren. They should have beat Kilmarnock, Rangers and Aberdeen. I just feel their luck has got to change sometime. Hopefully not tomorrow.

Marcus: Yet another two points dropped due to our inability to consistently put the ball in the back of the net. I am also not completely convinced on Jens Berthel Askou, I just do not think this preferred style is suited to scottish football and I still maintain the idea that someone like Jack Ross or Malky Mackay would have been better suited to achieve success in this league. I want to see my team try and score goals not just win the 'highest possession stats trophy'.
This was a comment on the BBC - 😂😂😂 Malky Mackay 😂😂
Our inability to consistently put the ball in the back of the net ?? We are fourth highest scorers in the league and have only failed to score in 3 of our 15 games and indeed up to Saturday it was 1 failure to score in 13.
-
I said before last night's game if we took 8/9 points from our next 4 games this could very well be a standout season. Still stand by that. That's 15 games gone an no team has been better than us in any game. As poor as we were last night we were the closest of the two to getting the win.

Really surprised he thought we played really well. We were poor , still worth the point but poor none the less. Last half hour we lost our way but defensively we played very well. McGinn and Welsh were outstanding.

Add Jordan White and James Scott. Wonder if we've ever faced a team with so many former players.

The only slight issue was the final ball or we'd have pumped them. However I in no way detract from an absolutely fabulous performance.
