We may as well go for it.

Yeah, the formation does look a tad defensive. Still, let's wait & see what happens. If Celtic score early we'll have to change tactics if we want anything from the game.
-
What is this?

I'm assuming this game will be covered by my season ticket, yeah?
-
Anything out these fixtures are a bonus.
Exactly.
Any realistic 'Well fan will know that we're unlikely to take anything, and would more than likely appreciate a positive performance, even if it results in a loss.
If we go at them I think we'll maybe manage to scrape a draw. If we try and defend we'll get thumped 3-0 or so.

As far as I know the polis only ejected him from the stadium, don't think he was charged.
Good. Until we see some of those who actually commit violence outside the grounds dealt with I'd hope that a kid with a sign would get nothing more than a telling off.

Andy, unless your podcast is available to actually download I don't think you'll get as many listeners as you'd hope.

That wee guy holding the 'h*n' banner is the guy that got lifted is it not?
Any word on what happened to the lad?

Defending against them isn't really an option. The only question such tactics raise is how long it'll take them to score.
I'd rather we played our usualy game, which of course means keeping it tight at the back as well, but our strength lies in our attack and midfield this season, which works perfectly as their defence is terrible.
We should play our usual game and try to take something from the match. If we lose, then at least we gave it a bash.
Points against the Old Firm, especially on their own patch, are always a bonus rather than to be expected.

Really couldn't care less about this the now. Two Scotland games coming up one of which I have tickets for so looking forward to that first.
You could have waited until after the Scotland games to post then.

I know we have the international break to look forward to first, but I figured we could get the thread started anyway.
I don't think I ever go into an away game against either of the Old Firm expecting to take anything from the it, but I always have a wee glimmer of hope that we can if the circumstances are just right.
Those circumstances in this instance involve Daniel Majstorovic. If this lump is playing I fancy us to nick at least one goal as our forwards are on fire at the moment.
As far as I'm aware he still plays for Sweden, so here's hoping he doesn't pick up any knocks between now and the 10th of next month

Cheers mate.
I thought todays game was a 12:30 kick off? I got up at 7am for sod all it would appear!
-
Anyone got a link to a decent stream?
-
Another point worth considering is the kind of football we play (coupled with results, of course) will dictate attendance among a certain section of the PATG fans.
If we're playing like Accies and losing more than we win I'm sure we'd see less punters at the matches.

it was a dangerous game to play at 1-0 up. we should've went for a 2nd goal.
I don't understand why it was a dangerous game to play. Isn't just lumping it forward for their central defenders to outnumber Higdon and take control of the ball more dangerous?
As someone said previously, if they don't have the ball they can't score a goal. Besides, it's hardly as if we were passing it around at the corner flag in our own half, we were passing it around in the midfield looking for an opening to try and get that second goal you're talking about.
I'm simply saying that I wish some of our fans would show more perseverance with an intelligent, patient build-up, which is what McCall is obviously looking for from his team.
We have the players to do that in Lasley & Law, so we should be taking advantage of it.

Spot the mistake
CON's
1st half
The attitude of many of the support to John Sutton
Lasley's red
Humphrey's decision making (apart from the cross he put inch perfect onto Jamie's forehead)
Seriously, what did you expect? Unanimous applause and goodwill? He got cheered by some, booed by others. I doubt he expected any different.

The "Keith" thing has spread into the Cooper
I was speaking to a few Hearts fans in Daniels after the game and they thought the "Keith" chant was actually "beast", and they couldn't understand why the 'Well fans were chanting that when Craig Thomson had been sent packing!
-
To be fair, the middle of the east has its fair share of elderly fans, so it's to be expected.
Besides, not everyone wants to sign and shout at the game. They pay their money and are entitled to watch the game as they see fit.

How was the patter for you today? I like being an arsehole and I'm very good at it. Also, your hair is very gay.
Did you tell him that at the match?

If you want to discuss this further, contact me via the PM system to avoid further de-railing of the thread.

Nicky Law for me. I thought he was immense in midfield today.

I've noticed over the past few games (especially the Killie game and todays match with Hearts) that the fans seem to be getting on the players cases for passing the ball in any direction that isn't forward.
What's the problem? We're 1-0 up, have the ball just inside our own half and the fans are giving the players grief for passing the ball from one end of the park to the other.
Would you rather we just leathered it forward, hoping that it goes to one of our players? More often than not it ends up in the possession of the opposition which puts us under pressure.
I can understand this tactic not being viewed favourably if we're 1-0 down with 10 minutes to go, but when we're winning the game surely it makes more sense to keep the ball from our opponents, and look for an actual pass forward rather than just fuck it forward and hope it breaks for us?

I would just as readily play McHugh or Smith rather than Higdon and why not what has Higdon done in the games hes played in.
He's done not too badly considering he's playing with a new team and he's been carrying a knock since the start of pre-season.

Sheffield Wednesday central defender Mark Reynolds set to move to Aberdeen on a season long loan deal where he'll link up with his former Motherwell manager Craig Brown. Reynolds has failed to settle in Sheffield and has had a number of fall outs with Gary Megson who refuses to use him in his favoured central role and continues to play him out of position.
This "link" between Reynolds & Aberdeen isn't mentioned anywhere else that I can see on the internet.
To say I'm slightly dubious is an understatement.
