joewarkfanclub Posted August 19, 2024 Report Share Posted August 19, 2024 Thought we looked solid first half yesterday without doing anything spectacular. We shaded it on possession and territory with more of the game being at the Kilmarnock end than ours. Neither keeper having a save of note to make. Second half I thought we looked sharper even before the sending off. There were anumber of crosses across the 6 yard box that Robinson should really be gambling on. He could have had a couple of tap ins if he had. Findlay can have no complaints about the sending off. It was madness to commit to that tackle having already been yellow carded. After that I felt it was pretty much one way traffic. The subs certainly improved our attacking threat. Moses looks a far more instinctive finisher than Robinson and seems to know where to be in the box. Watt and Maswanhise improved our attacking intent and creativity. The young winger looks a real find if he can replicate that most weeks. We look much more solid defensively this season and I dont think we will concede as many goals. Killie never really troubled us at the back until the latter stages when we seemed to panic and lose our composure a little. Personally, I felt we thoroughly deserved to win the tie, and although being far from the perfect performance, there are signs of encouragement that once the injury crisis begins to clear, we will be more than fine this season.

While I agree with your second last paragraph we did still manage to encounter a couple of “Mugabi moments” but got away with them thankfully. Wilson and McGinn being the culprits. Both had good performances but all it takes is one silly mistake to ruin it. Hopefully the learn from the scare and don’t repeat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted August 19, 2024 Report Share Posted August 19, 2024 Can we just stop putting away fans in the upper tier now? It’s annoying me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the seats in the lower tier still looked damaged following the Celtic Scum visit. Anyone know if thats the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but at least we don't pen them in like sardines in tins as other clubs do to our fans. A pet hate of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always hated it when we do this too. It kills the limited atmosphere there is at FP. 37 minutes ago, FirParkCornerExile said: Many of the seats in the lower tier still looked damaged following the Celtic Scum visit.

Both Old Firm teams fans are as bad as each other yada yada yada. But on a serious note we’ll surely need both tiers open for Hearts fans this coming Sunday as they usually bring a big support.

Heard it was at the request of Ketts to try and make the place a bit more intimidating for away teams but the noise reverberating off the roof actually makes the away support sound louder(at least it sounds louder where I sit). It obviously also cuts down the chances of any altercations between home and away fans being so far away from each other. I would imagine it will only happen when the away support is in low enough numbers to house most/all of them in the upper tier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone thinks the Rangers fans do as much damage to Fir Park they are utterly delusion if not blind. I'm no lover of Rangers I despise them but Celtic are without doubt the most destructive fans we ever host. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted August 19, 2024 Report Share Posted August 19, 2024 Was it not the Hibs fans who damaged the seats at the final game before the split? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuwell2 Posted August 19, 2024 Report Share Posted August 19, 2024 Can’t believe it’s anything to do with damage to seats, it’s not like the fans will think oh it’s the top tier so we won’t smash up the seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have one good season and they feel like they should be easily brushing the likes of ourselves and St Johnstone away Don’t know why they should think that about us as we’ve always had the whip hand over them down the years as shown by our all-time and all competition stats against them: P275 W121 D52 L102 They had a golden spell from 1956 to 1965 as they only finished outside the top 3 three times - 2 x 3rd, 4 x 2nd and champions in 1964/65. Other than that nothing of note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
