    That would hurt them more than us walking the league . If Carlsberg did twists of fate ………

    Just put on sky for the evening football, it was showing the hun goal, his arm and leg look offside. The middle punter said something like Well would be disappointed😵

    Like yourself probably, I haven’t given up on the title yet. We haven’t chased it for ten years but that’s where we are this season if the matches are played.

     

     

    The huns final nine games are us, Utd, Livi, Buddies then five of the top six. Our job is to win all the catchup games and keep in touch until the split. Should they handle those fixtures comfortably ( or even not be required to play them), then the league flag goes to them.

     

     

    Somehow, our 9s must return flying from Wednesday to season’s end..

  4. Listened to a Celtic State of mind for the first time in long time. Their pain echoes most of the support and questioning why a non functioning manager was left in situ to destroy what chance we had left. They are starting to run out of steam as they went full tilt early and they have Europe to come.

     

     

    Lennon should not even come to Lennoxtown tomorrow. P45.

     

     

    We need the new man in place Wednesday —— need to start battling now for points for the first time this season.

  5. We are 23 goals behind but have 3 games in hand.

     

    Win the 3 in hand plus the 2 Monkey games by 2 clear goals, & the difference is 9.

     

    They will need to lose 2 other games for us to finish level on points, so that’s another minus 2 ,

     

    So just 7 extra goals.

     

     

    In case ye all think I have lost my mind, I have good practice, I used to go on with this kind of mental gymnastics right through the barren years, so I’ve been thrown out of better joints than this, so ye won’t hurt my feelings if ye throw me out again

  6. Corkcelt – COYBIG.

     

     

    Beat Livvy and go on an undefeated run and see what it brings.

     

     

    D :)

  7. lets all do the huddle on

    john higgins not made a great start in the final of the gas cooker

     

     

    missed a couple of shots i would have potted with a stick

  8. Sftb

     

    The ref blowing up early when Mqtherwell had a chance to get the ball into the box for a last chance was the same as Beaton yesterday not giving the blatant push by Ambrose which would have giving us a similar chance to put the ball right into the 6 yard box!!!

  9. Adi dassler- hecwas being smug. ‘Massive lead’, ‘unbeaten run’, ‘not at their best, take the draw’.

     

     

    He is making the most of this. As he should.

     

     

    It won’t last.

  10. Last 4 or 5 Hun games.

     

    Head high kick against Hibs plus a second stone wall penalty not given by Willie,

     

    Beaton sending off a Sheep for an accidental foul stand out for me but there were others, including goal today being offside.

     

    Yes we have no one to blame but ourselves for the position we are in but the MIBS have played their part too.

    Huns falter and run of consecutive league wins stops at 15

     

     

    MON post-Seville season 2003-4; Celts drew league opener at Dunfermline and reeled off 25 consecutive league wins.

     

     

    Take it where ye can get it CSC

  12. Feck the Huns, If we win every game from now till end of League I’ll be happy and if it’s not enough to win the League then so be it.

  13. Rules of refereeing in Scotland

     

    1: Always help Rangers.

     

    2: Always hinder Celtic

     

     

    Setting aside how awful we were yesterday we saw the usual bias in refereeing yesterday.

     

    It wasn’t a dirty game but was not officiated fairly,

     

    Livi were allowed to put in men’s challenges

     

    against our (boy ) bhoys….play on.

     

     

    However all of our ‘soft’ challenges were given as free kicks to Livi.

     

     

    We had 61% possession

     

    but Livi were awarded 56% of free kicks….. !!

     

     

    That’s an annomaly in anyone’s statistics that somehow goes unchallenged by us week in , week out.

     

     

    Today I switched on Motherwell v Huns game with 2 mins of added time left to play….it was 1:1

     

    I half expected a late , late penalty ,

     

    but Motherwell held out.

     

     

    With about 15 seconds left Motherwell broke out of defence and moved up field.

     

    The Motherwell player was fouled, at halfway line, ( no whistle) , he rode the challenge but was immediately fouled a second time… with a few seconds left in time added on the Ref blows is whistle and awards a free kick…

     

     

    It will be the last play of the game,

     

    End of game drama ?

     

    A lifeline for struggling Motherwell?

     

    A chance to send everyone up for a long free kick?

     

    A no risk Hail Mary option?, …

     

    Will the referee allow the time? ,

     

    fair play would suggest that he should allow the time for the free kick ….

     

    what will he do?

     

     

    ( we all know what he will do)

     

     

    Referee looks at his watch ,does the calculations, refers himself to the first rule of refereeing in Scotland… and decides to blow the final whistle a few seconds early…

     

    Mini crisis averted

     

     

    The league is long over, Huns no longer need their help,but the referees can’t help themselves.

     

     

    The Onlooker

  14. Given our recent points per game an unbeaten run looks miles off.

     

    Maybe it’s the hope that will kill us 😨

  15. squire danaher on

    CorkCelt

     

     

    I agree but this was beginning to raise its head in MSM as another Hun GIRU obsession.

     

     

    They seek to validate themselves and everything they do by a perceived need to GIRU us.

  16. Seems we have reached the Lord Melchett stage of posting:

     

     

    “If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through”.

     

     

    Catch yerselves on.

    Are any of our players who are self isolating available for Wednesday please?

     

    ______

     

    I think today is the last day of isolation. Anyway, all players are available for Wednesday.

  18. BIG WAVY on 17TH JANUARY 2021 2:40 PM

     

     

    That’s what I was thinking…..also that knight on Monty Python who has his arms and legs cut off and says it’s just a scratch.

     

     

    Very unlikely but imagine if we did lose it by four points or less and the four points dropped post-Dubai were critical. Heads would roll…..surely?

  19. Corkcelt

     

     

    You should be life coach and write a positive thinking manual!!

     

     

    Hail Hail

  20. Geebee1978,

     

     

    Not a chance fella as this team is shot in both confidence and belief in an incompetent management team.

     

     

    Let’s get some much needed change in place and hope for a dead cat bounce at least.

     

     

    HH

  21. Hopefully a New Coach with his team of Coaches etc,also new younger men or women on the Board ,and pick someone who will tell SFA ,SPFL that they need to ask what Football Clubs they have supported ,this has to stop ,we should have a fair playing field,for the life of me can’t understand how our board have agreed to some of the referees who are well kn to be Sevco Supporters to referee old firm games ,which to me isn’t right

  22. Talk about new managers is futile. We need structural change in the boardroom before anyone is appointed to replace Neil. PL has run his race, i hope he will stand down but expect he wont unless asked rhetorically to do so. PL spoke in his video about humility, so lets see if he puts the club before himself.

  23. ” We have no one but ourselves to blame.”

     

     

    I don`t particularly like the word `blame` but, other than poor performances (players, management and The Board), perhaps we DO have some other factors to at least consider.

     

    To name a few:

     

    Bolingoli and two suspended games;

     

    Players having to isolate after Internationals;

     

    Some even greater bias on the part of the referees;

     

    Number of injuries we have suffered compared with Sevco.

     

     

    Any more?

  24. MadMitch – I assume your go’s last night was Sam Allardyce (moved on to West Brom, paper envelope dodginess)?

  25. If we could muster more than 1 shot on target, against the likes of Livingston at home,I would have a molecule of excitement in me,even at ‘full strength ‘,we can’t work goalkeepers,FWIW ,I don’t think we will close the gap that is there just now,unless we change the manager, and even then the rot is too deep.
