I didn’t get to sit down and see the first half but caught short segments on my phone and listened to some of the audio from Motherwell TV. I got home in time for the second half and was amazed to learn that Maeda was being subbed for the second half. I had no clue he was actually playing the first half. I can’t actually say that McGinn amd O’Donnell played blinders in defence, it just seems to be that the way that we play as a team has us defending well agInst opposition without the need for last ditch tackles and heroic blocks. To clarify, i do think both players Mentioned had great games amd I’m sure Welsh will be impressed at the way they strolled thru it, just like he strolls thru games.

This season has been a revelation. I’ve never seen as many non well fans compliment our style of play and looking thru Facebook the number of Celtic supporters actually admitting that we played them off the park is unheard of.

Same, during the game I was so nervous. I knew we were set up to see out the game at 2-0 and basically letting Celtic have the ball but on watching the game back and knowing the score we looked absolutely comfortable. The only real scare was the great save from Ward

Regardless of team selection I think the key is for us to score first. if they score first, it could be a repeat of the semi game. The Ibrox game Last week was similar to the semi except Rangers didnt get the break of the ball/punish us like St Mirren did in the semi. Having said that, I think JBA learned from the semi and has us more aware/alert to stop teams scoring against us on counter attacks. I’d Love to see us win this three or four nil but I’ll take 3 points any way we can get them in this game.

This is the kind of game we need to win to keep up our push in the top 4.

…….and Another clean sheet to add to our list for Ward and the team

I missed most of the first half so I’m going to relax and watch the game later and then decide.

I don’t give a rats ass who says what, because we all know our team played a stormer tonight and played them off the park.

We were far and away easily the better team tonight !!!

I’m almost speechless. That was a superb display. Other than the one terrific save from Ward we comfortably seen the game out protecting our 2 goal lead.

What a save

I know!! I listened to It thinking, “FFS, stop asking the same question”!

Don’t know what’s come over me but I’m predicting 3-1 to super well. Slattery, AP and Said with the goals. I'm expecting a lot more from Said in this game. I think he maybe just got a bit overawed by the occasion on Saturday. So whether that’s in starting line up or from the bench I’m hoping he has a big impact on the Celtic game.

Is he playing for Wycombe? 😂

This game made even tougher by not having JT, Welsh and Cook available. 🙁

2-2. JT missed chance but it went in off defender

JT hits the post with shot from edge of the box

Dreadful from defender and then goalie formZimbabwe

Just turned it on in time. Great goal!!!!

Hopefully JT on a plane heading back here tomorrow edit: ok! Not here but Motherwell

My take was that it hit defender’s arm but was pushed into it by Celtic player. Never a pk

I just watched Livi v Celtic highlights and Celtic PK award is ridiculous. The ball did hit the Livi player’s arm but he was clearly pushed by a Celtic player.

I am not 100% sure it was a PK yesterday. I was convinced it was but after watching a clip on you tube, as Fadinger goes by Fernandez, the defender might actually have grazed the ball. Based on what I’ve seen/heard from watching the EPL if the defender gets a touch on the ball first then it’s deemed as him playing the ball amd any contact is then incidental. It’s hard to tell if he did touch or not but it does throw some doubt on it based on what I mentioned using the EPL as an example. however, if that’s the case why was there not an immediate response from officials team that the defender played the ball amd that is why no PK was awarded?

To be fair or more accurate, need them to score. We hit the target a few times yesterday but made it too easy for the goalie to save.

So what’s our priority? IN goal scorer left back centre back mid fielder (preferably one who can shoot) Out anyone not in JBA plans so we can free up funds to get players JBA wants.
