SteelmaninOZ Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Better have your best and clean‘WELL scarfs as your on the telly.

MJC Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 “Celtic are there for the taking, what better time to play them”? ”We were unbeaten in six before Tynecastle” ”Killie took points off them in their last game, no reason we can’t either” 1-3 Celtic Same old story MJC 7IAR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Rest any player who isn't 100% fit. We have bigger fish to fry later. The strategy of many a previous manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s why our record against them and the other OF lot is so horrendous and won’t be changing any time soon, because this mentality that “these games don’t matter” runs right through the club. It’s hard enough playing Celtic without resting players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. Every point is a prisoner, so we should be going for them. That doesn't mean we will win, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Despite them being massive favourites, and whatever MJC says, there is no reason we cant fight our way to at least a draw. It will be tough, but they are at a low ebb. Confidence is shot & they will be hurting. Would like to see us take the game to them & get right in their faces from the off. They are not the fluid attacking unit they were last season. Sadly our defence and keeper are a shambles. Keep the ball in their half as much as we can. Dont sit back & invite them onto us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont sit back & invite them onto us My thoughts as well but over the years we've been very charitable to struggling teams looking for a win so I have the fear for this one. I can see us scoring but as you say our defence is a shambles and that's our biggest concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuwell2 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Celtic are a weaker team just now, although they should still be good enough to get a win against us but we can only hope otherwise. Abada is a loss for them but that’s not all of their problem, they seem to be missing something and are not clicking as a team - let’s hope Brendon doesn’t fix it before next Sunday.

MJC Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 I don’t know how many times over the years that one of the Old Firm has dropped points just before they are due to play us and you get folk on this forum rubbing their hands together about us beating or taking a point off them…and it never happens. Not that we would have taken anything next week anyway but it’s even less likely with Celtic dropping points yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Drew at Parkhead and should have drawn at fir park earlier in the season. Will need to produce a great performance but no reason why we can't though need to be better defensively and hopefully Spittal back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Regardless of how poorly Celtic are playing compared to last season, they are still way out in front of all the other teams bar Rangers and have better players than everyone else. Stands to reason it will be a tough game. But we played very well for the most part yesterday at a tough venue against a team with better players and more resources. The same level of application will be required and we will of course require to eliminate any unforced and self inflicted errors. However, our performances against Celtic this season have been decent, so not that unreasonable to think we can produce another one and at least sneak a point. I think we will need Spittal and Gent fit to make that a reality and possibly Butcher, although his absence would concern me the least out the three. That said, Celtic could come out with all guns blazing and knock 4 past us. Just need to wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've thought they'd pick Livi or Ross County, given the choice. No idea why they'd think we'll be easier to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Daft Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Don’t know if this has been raised end Jan or not, if it has then sorry for repeating, interested to know given our dire finances, with Turnbull exiting the ugly sister at Parkhead are we due any % of the reported £2m? If so I say we use it to resign Spittal and buy some grass seed for the field. Who’s in the know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to buy grass seed, Pitch had thousands spent on it and its only been the turning on of the undersoil heating that has affected parts. It will start to grow naturally soon. Comments like that are quite ill advised, ie, Steve Tosh, who dissed the park the other night, having not been at Fir Park for about 30 years. The quality of the pitch was the reason we got under 21 internationals, so hopefully will again. Anyway nice to see someone dissing the park, rather than the players, especially with so called supporters gloating at predicting a defeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic have been complaining about their hybrid pitch, which was installed by the same company, so it is possible there are some problems. Tynecastle looked better yesterday.

Normally, in these games, I'd say go for it but not this time. I say that for 2 reasons: our league position relative to Livingston, Ross County and St Johnstone; and secondly our defence and defensive midfield are a shambles just now and likely to concede very easily. As you say Gazzy, damage limitation. Livi is our cup final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
