    could not agree more – total luxury.

     

     

    when was the last time he made any positive contribution.

     

     

    On the plus side – Miku looked better and Watt has a big future.

  2. Tony Watt –

     

     

    Great game –

     

     

    Great goal –

     

     

    MOTM –

     

     

    18 years old –

     

     

    On the bench Wednesday?!

     

     

    Probably!

     

     

    HH!!

  3. Just a little bit unprofessional, McCourt gives away the ball and the roof falls in. Not good enough and disresectful to the opposition.

  4. CultsBhoy loves being 1st forever & ever on

    No Huns in SPL is affecting how we approach games. If they were in and we’d started like we have it would have been more troublesome..but They are not – so I’m less troubled

  5. Cultsbhoy, surely this is the season if there ever was one to use our squad. With the demise of the Orcs taking the pressure off in SPL and with heavy Euro involvement, it is right to rotate the squad and try to develop a few extra players. Tony Watt is one who is definitely benefiting and today could be the start of something for miku. Its the long term good of our Club is by far the most important thing. If we lose a few points here & there whilst developing a top squad, well I for one can live with that,

  6. We need to learn how to close out a game when we are ahead. 2 – 0 is always dangerous; one goal changes everything. With the players that we have we should be able to keep the ball and see time out.

     

     

    This is a skill our young team needs to master

  7. Summa of Sammi….

     

     

    Barca terrified of Sammi, hahaha

     

    Good that he is, vital that he is for us, I don’t see them being overly worried about any of our players

  8. We played well dominated 60% of game Without our 4 top strikers playing Players worked hard to score 2 goals and then any manager is telling players dont give them any encouragement So instep the non professional McCourt who did Dont give me pish about him being fouled

     

    We had guys who burst agut for 80 mins to win game only to be undone by a 5 a sides player selfishness and lack of awareness

     

    Dont tell me our manager is saying one thing to press and saying something else indoors

     

    Sevco have there world record crowds as a sideshow and we have the ridiculous sideshow of McCourt Pathetic

  9. time for change on

    We never took the chances made in the first half…second half they didn’t take theirs 2-2 may be fair result.

     

     

    More worryingly 5 players booked Willie Collum having a laugh…Cisse not booked for celebrating his goal with fans.

     

     

    Roll on Wednesday.

     

     

    Hail Hail

    Geordie – try and read posts properly, I said United deserved a point. No more.

     

     

     

    Not in the post I quoted. Ye had us two down by the power of its and buts ;)

  11. A draw away is perfectly acceptable in most leagues. We ‘should have’ won, but we didn’t; but neither did we lose, and Tony Watt’s demeanour in the post match interview, even though he got motm, says it all. Disappointment, but a lesson learned, no complacency and a strongly stated desire to do better, with humility in respect of his own undoubted abilities.

     

    It’s a long way to go until next spring. I remain upbeat.

     

    Anyone would’ve been shellshocked when the whistle went to signal the end of the match ; who wouldn’t. But when stability’s regained and the full picture is seen, then despair is just not on. In fact, it would be silly.

    MWD – put yer tin hat on! :-)

     

    I agree with you, but there’s plenty who won’t.

     

     

    TBB – cheers, but waffle is my first language and I struggle with English!

    The ball sailed over our heads but the eejit in front of my jumped as if to header it and the back of his head collided with my jaw.

     

     

    Glad I amused you though ;-)

  14. Losing the first goal so late is always dangerous. Defenders get deeper as the other team has nothing to lose.

    Celtic should have woń but the Arabs passed up more clear cut scoring chances than we did.

    Sno ma fawt;)

     

     

    Hey I’m not saying we were perfect. But it’s certainly not going to spoil my Sunday

  16. Lennon n Mc....Mjallby on

    I hate to say it and Im not trying to get a reaction or reply but we dont deserve to go to the last 16 in Europe,we should be dominating our league given the circumstances.

     

     

    I better take time out today.

    4 November, 2012….

     

     

    Good point. It is one thing for us supporters to shrug (as some did in my CSC today) and say, ‘oh well, we’ll win the league anyway…’

     

     

    The troublesome thing is that our players may be thinking the same thing.

     

     

    Basis, basic, 8 year old stuff cost us the goals. A throw-in that BOUNCES in our penalty area!!!! Should simply never happen.

     

     

    2nd goal, we let them cross it in. That ball should have been closed down. Lazy, sloppy, unprofessional. Had we been hard-working, focused and professional, that cross would never have left the guy’s foot.

     

     

    So, yes….I think our players are coasting. Sad, but true.

    Like the lesson from last weekend ?

     

     

    Sloppy defending and lax play ….doesn’t look like lesson is learned quite yet

  20. With 10 minutes to go and needing to see it out why bring on the player with the least discipline in possesion of the ball.

     

     

    Kyal was the obvious choice.

     

     

    McCourt – sorry experiment over.

  21. Exceptionally unexpected collapse in the final two minutes to throw away another two points, after the game should was won.

     

     

    Paddy McCourt not up to the pace of the game, and easily dispossessed set the tone, in a final crazy two minutes of comedy cuts between Kelvin Wilson and Efe Ambrose.

     

     

    Some balls from Neil Lennon in his after match comments, we are not that far ahead of any other SPL side despite massive financial advantage, very unprofessional not to have closed the game out, a mistake repeated again, and again.

     

     

    This Champions League really does get in the way of the real thing.

  22. Paddy did lose the ball ok but players lose the ball all over the place but its forgotten about because nothing comes from it. Kelvin could have done better as well but I’m not blaming him either. To blame one individual for dropping the 2 points is churlish, its something that happens. A team is 2 down with 4 or 5 mins left and they get one back, they get a new energy and throw everything at it, the defenders are a bit panicky and the 2nd goes in. We have all seen it before, remember too before they got the equaliser they passed up on another great chance, who was responsible for presenting them with that chance. Most people will have forgotten including me. Why? Cos nothing came from it.

  23. Marrakesh Express on

    9 points separate Celtic and second bottom St. Mirren.

     

    Sure the league will be won no bother but its going to hurt the armageddonists when they see that crowds will be up for all other teams. If we take Dundee out of the equation, every other club could be fighting for 3 European places (as it stands now).

  24. Goals conceded were a tad unlucky don’t you think. Sure, some poor defending contributed but for

     

    A) blocked shot to fall to utd player is unlucky. His finish was superb

     

    B) ambrose’s to fly into the top corner is unlucky.

     

     

    However, the problem for me was the fact we didn’t score with our chances esp. Rogne and Brown headers.

     

     

    Great to see miku get his first goal and watt showing he is indeed a very good player and improving.

     

     

    Armageddon?

     

     

    It’s the best league for many years, although we have the better team and ultimately I think we will win comfortably. I’m enjoying it.

  25. In answer to some posters on here.Yes,we don’t have the right to win every league game,but we DO have the players.

     

    The difference between a great team and a decent team is the abillity to concentrate and focus in all competitions.

     

    Our main focus at the moment is Barca.

     

    I firmly believe once this game is over(Either way) we wil skate this title.

     

    Ask yourself this.Where would your thoughts be if you were playing the greatest team in the world at home in the next few days?

  26. Today’s game was the perfect response to the vested interests who predicted Armageddon.

     

     

    Scottish football has it’s first chance EVER to become a level playing field which will benefit every club in the country.

     

     

    This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius.

  27. why is the ref getting it on here,its not his fault we dropped 2 points,2 of our players gave them there ist goal,were i was standing i the front stand,mcourt messing about loses possesion to skacel,ball gets punted to wilson.who in turn heads it straight to mackay-steven shoots goal.thats a few times wilson has done this season,me personaly the guys a time bomb,mcourt times up for him .the own goal by ambrose one of these things that happen.the manager at times cannot motivate the team ,and thats all i will say about him.
