I would certainly prefer that. That's a separate question but a valid one. The point I'm making here though is that getting points off the Old Firm isn't always a barometer for a successful league season. Would I like to get results against them more often? Of course. But I refuse to get hung up about it. Just think of it as having a couple of bogey teams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rarely wins a header. He is much better with the ball into his chest or feet, but Vale can do all of those things and is much quicker. Id love for the big man to he a success, but unless he stays fit enough to get a run of games soon, Im afraid Id be cutting my losses with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuwell2 Posted February 21 Report Share Posted February 21 5 hours ago, Spiderpig said: Obika in the team is like starting with 10 men, he offers nothing, Vale has a lot more pace than Obika so id keep him up front with Bair. Are you suggesting trying to form some sort of a striking partnership between Bair and Vale? Such a radical notion will never catch on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't but how anyone could compare that European shite to sticking it to the OF especially in a game that hurts them is beyond me. For me there hasn't been a single European game / result that compares to sticking it to the OF.at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me there hasn't been a single European game / result that compares to sticking it to the OF.at any time. Exactly the way I feel My favourite Well games are of course the 1991 final , and another one is the 6-6 comeback against Hibs Apart from that it is wins against the 2 Glasgow mobs , include a win against the Airdrie in 2007 which was pleasing It is great to get into Europe of course as a club, though definitely wouldn’t be swapping it for St Johnstones 3 cup wins . Other fans quite rightly so will think different which is fine by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d also stick with Butcher if fit, Mugabi if not, and keep Casey on the left of the 3. The rest I agree with, although you could make a case for Halliday over Miller given that Miller’s just returning from a long spell out.

The rest I agree with, although you could make a case for Halliday over Miller given that Miller’s just returning from a long spell out. To be fair to Kelly, he didnt make any real mistakes against Hearts. There were a few nervous moments and his distribution was still poor, but he couldnt do much about the goals in my opinion. He may well play his way out of the poor form he has been in. None of us really no how good Oxborough is so it would be a huge risk to throw him in against Celtic. The centre half issue is a connundrum that we clearly havent solved. Mugabi has been better of late (he tends to be after a run of games) but there is always a mistake in him under pressure and you would think Celtic will exploit that. Butcher has been injured all season and not had any run of games to get any sort of match sharpness back. Not sure this is the game I would bring him back for. Casey, not been much better than Mugabi this season. Does well for the most part then loses concentration and drops his man quite a bit. For me its McGinn and any one from those 3. The reason Ive gone for Blaney is that he is naturally left sided and more confortable with the ball at his feet than the others. He has also made mistakes at times, but he is still quite inexperienced at this level and I fancy he has the most chance of progressing into a sellable asset. All that said, you could make a case for any of the above. McGinn is the most solid and the only one Id say is nailed on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 Apparently Willie Collum is referee for this one. As if Sunday wasn’t going to be hard enough. He was the referee the last time Celtic were here was he not? And of course he rescued a point for them when he awarded McGregor’s dive in 2017. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Heard a rumour that if Obika plays 37 minutes and wins two headers against Celtic he automatically gets a contract extension until May 2026. But don’t tell anybody. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment they look doomed to 12th but we need to get ourselves away from 11th and we’ve got a great chance to do that against them. But I just can’t help thinking it will be the same script as usual and a draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistandshout1983 Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Not predicting anything at all tomorrow , after todays 5-0 score all the pressure will be on them and not us If we don’t lose an early silly goal and try and keep it 0-0 as long as possible hopefully they will buckle under the pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I hope they score their goal early. That way it gives us plenty of time to score one more than them. We're not keeping a clean sheet. Get in their faces and show them no respect. Feed the Bair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I think that would be easier to take then losing like we did against them in September with the last kick of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
