Keep an eye on Pittodrie

867

St Johnstone have gone five games without a goal – and that includes a home game against Hamilton. They remain in the League Cup, but if they beat Hibs next week, will remarkably have reached the final after only facing lower league opposition. Their only Scottish Cup game against top-flight opponents ended in defeat.

What they can do is defend better than Hamilton, or several others in the league. They kept Celtic to three last month (which these days is an achievement), before keeping a clean sheet against Hearts. Only Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and Partick have conceded fewer.

Tomorrow’s game is one Celtic will be confident of winning, but chances will not be as easy coming as they were on Tuesday night.

I get it.  The SFA have guidance which suggests New Douglas Park, one of the smallest grounds in Lanarkshire, should be the venue for our Scottish Cup game against East Kilbride. With 6,000 seats it is less than half the size of Fir Park, which is less than 3 miles away.  Moving the game to Fir Park would generate a significant amount of much needed money for grassroots football in Scotland.

Think about that……. generate money for grassroots football in Scotland.  Do the decent this and move this game to Motherwell.  If you want to register for a ticket, do so here.

The more who register, the more reason the SFA have to agree to Fir Park as the venue.

Keep an eye on the game at Pittodrie tonight. I watched 10-man Aberdeen come from behind away to Ross County last week, they were very impressive, but our nearest challengers have developed a blind spot against Dundee.

Three points and a clean sheet tomorrow, please, Celtic.

    I’ve ended up with Section P row DD!!!

     

     

    ================================================

     

    That’s high I think,P is actually adjacent to or behind goal line. Lets hope its dry.

  12. I will be at CQN corner tomorrow with brochures and information about the centenary celebrations of the 1916 Easter Rising for anyone interested.

     

     

    Coneybhoy: Cheers for comments and will let you know the next time I’m going into Bad Ass for a match. Hopefully before mid February.

     

     

    HT: Best of luck tomorrow, hope you get plenty of recruits.

    They’re absolutely rotten seats but it’s my own fault for not getting them earlier. Apparently most of S and T go to corporate and investor level ST holders.
