They literally kicked him off the park.

I’m hoping our players can perform at the top of their game for the remainder of the season. Said and JT struggling a wee bit so be interesting to see if JBA perseveres with them or tries something different and how he deals with left back situation.

I think JBA and the players are hurting right now and that they are going to come out next week and remind everyone why we got so many plaudits this season.

We still have 8 games left. ‘mon the ‘Well ! we are not done yet !!!!

When watching stream today it showed same angle repeatedly but no view from behind goal. So not sure if Maeda was pulling Longello’s shirt. If he wasn’t, then it’s a penalty. However, I’ve never seen a red card for that type of Incident.

Sorted now lol

Despite playing for 20 mins with 10 men we still had 53% possession. Shots 13 to 12 for Celtic. 6 to 3 for Celtic shots on target. I thought we were the better team first half and after 15 mins of second half we got passed Celtic being on top and had started to regain control before the red card threw us for a loop. Of course, issues to work on but still a lot to like about our team. I’m expecting us to roar back the next few weeks at home.

I thought Celtic had first 15 mins of second half and then we started to control the ball more but then PK and red killed us. We didn’t do well at the corner, Ward missed the ball and Longello was caught on wrong side of Maeda.

Yep. Game to open. Keep the ball

Getting in amd around their box very well but can’t find the pass to set up goal scoring chance. Although Slattery did have a chance from a good move close to end of first half.

Good overall performance but we got caught up in the frenzy after we scored but seem to have calmed down again. Frustrating that we gifted equalizer after we punished their slack play. Definitely times when you just need to clear the ball.

We should run at chamberlain,

So many chances to clear

Gift!!!

Need to maintain our composure

I made square slice last night and rolls due out the oven in about 5 mins. A few Motherwell goals and it will be a great day.

‘Mon the ‘Well!!!

That’s what JBA said, he doesn’t see anyone in top 6 making it to end of season, winning every game.

Why just a draw?

Pretty unusual that this will be our third game against Celtic this season and the third manager we have faced. Rogers, Nancy and O’Neil. I imagine this game will be more like the previous one at parkhead but I think even in that game we still matched up well with Celtic. I’m assuming we will have more space to play football in this game versus against Dundee last week so I’ll be expecting Just, Said and JT to be more influential and hopefully some decent shots from our midfield around the edge of the box. Probably our main concern is defense since Welsh is out and Johnny K is still out but if we can maintain the ball for a large percentage of the game then that’s our best form of defense.

JBA has made such a difference in such a short time that sometimes you have to take a step back and remind yourself of just how much progress we have made. Yes, losing was a big disappointment but that was the only game we have lost in 18 against bottom 6 teams. We still dominated the game but just couldn’t manage to get the goals to win it. I was pleased to see JBA’s after match response which was very calm, sensible and measured, giving plaudits to Dundee for making it a very hard game for us amd also sticking by our players for their efforts. Being philosophical a not throwing anyone under the bus, basically sticking by the outlook he has preached all season, “there will be games, where, despite our best efforts, we will get beat”. Keep doing what we are doing well and work on improving in areas where we can do better.

If I remember correctly, they are inside the Arctic circle or maybe I’m mixing them up with another team??

I’m assuming “bump on the nose” is actually “kicked in the face” (his fault) when he tried to rugby tackle the Dundee player.

Were Bodo even smaller than us? At least a similar size? So why not us too! Let’s live the dream.

Any news on Fadinger and Johnny K ?
