Meeting a self-proclaimed aggrieved opponent is seldom an appetising prospect, but I would rather have Motherwell away tomorrow than any other opponent.
Our opponents have stoked a sense of injustice brought about when their defender impeded Scott Sinclair, and finished the final as a contest.
What Motherwell manager Steve Robinson should not be doing is polluting his thoughts with what has been and gone. He could find himself two goals down within 15 minutes if his players take to the field with anything more than a desire to stop the champions running amok.
Motherwell can go fourth in the table if they win their game in hand, but the experience of Dundee United in 2015 should caution them. United were flying high before facing Celtic four times in succession. A Scottish Cup draw was followed by defeat in the League Cup final, the Cup replay and the league. That period broke United, who were physically and emotionally wrecked by the experience. They slid down the table and into relegation the next season.
After tomorrow, Motherwell have four consecutive away games, all in the league. If they don’t get their emotions under control rapidly, Celtic will punish them and things could get out of control before Christmas.

ALMORE
Only if ERNIE sees the replay 6 times.
ALMORE-honestly think tomorrow’s game will go our way comfortably
Huns vs Dons preview includes:
“Alfredo Morelos is a doubt after colliding with a goal post during Friday’s defeat at Dens Park.
A late decision will be made on the goal post.”
Ha ha ha
To all huns who post on here and to all hun lurkers –
THE HIGHER YOU BUILD YOUR BARRIERS
THE TALLER WE BECOME……………..
And don’t you forget it!
JAMES FORREST on THE CELTIC BLOG tonight is a good read
Fairhill Bhoy: I hate making predictions, but I’m confident we will win it too. Penalties or no penalties
Goal post has retrospectively been called up by compliance officer & offered a thinner (1cm) post when the huns next play a game.
Must mean the post is ex post facto guilty?
Rae on shortbread earlier. Thought McInnes would go to Sevco for moonbeam warchests.
Said he was going to the Sevco agm as a shareholder. Wonder if he was when he was St Mirren manager?
Interview with Stephen Gallacher. MacIntyre asks if he misses the competition with “Rangers”. Eh, no!
How football works: again
Before the teams walk out pre-game the quiet conversation goes, “…any funny buggers with leigh, we will drop the hammer on moult.” They can’t play eight league games in December with Louis in a cast. Both players will play without fear.
Sunday’s win was a great comeback from the PSG defeat. I think the players are well motivated to keep this unbeaten run going.
My first visit to Paradise this season will be Jan 27th, 2018. I hope we will still be invincible for that match.

League table after 13 games for us last season. We are 4 points worse off and Aberdeen are 6 points better off.
KTF
I reckon Sevco , will reveal Michael O Neil as there new manager,at the A G M,i have had this feeling about them appointing him,
Looks like John James might be right with his information re McInnes going to Sevco.
William Hill now has the Dons manager at 1/4. Hmmm…
jimbob … if so, wouldn’t he have to change his name to Ted …. much like Kevin (“Ted”) McMinn…
HOT SMOKED- the night before their game?who would have thunk it:-)))
Fairhill Bhoy
The MSSM will call it a stroke of genius.
JJ
Oíche mhaith, a chairde. Looking forward to our match tomorrow night.
HH
HOT SMOKED- can’t see it happening,it would make Del Boy look like a right shit after his press conference last week and his current chairman also went out on a limb for him to.But who knows,let the circus continue roll up roll up:-)))))
If Aberedeen cannot beat Sevco tomorrow night why should Aberdeen keep him as their manager?
ALMORE-predictions are for egits,3:0 good guys tomorrow:-))
Fairhill Bhoy
I agree re McInnes. I hadn`t read the JohnJames `article` as I am not a fan of his. I have read it now and he does not say that McInnes will be going to Sevco. Even so, paddy Power has him as 4/7 favourite and Hills 1/4 suggests some people believe he will be going to Ibrox. Then again, there are a great many at Ibrox who part with their money quite easily to sustain the belief that they are important.
Goodnight all,
JJ
DESSYBHOY-exactly,mcInnes isn’t or ever will be a threat to our manager,whatever club tie he’s wearing :-)))
Pardew next manager at West Bromwich Albion,will there be any spare tickets at Fir Park tomorrow night
MIT
Hope your Mum is feeling better.
I would load the bases tomorrow night, N’cham, Kouassi and Brown in mid. As someone said earlier if they start booting then boot them right back but we know how the best known religious teacher in a Catholic school will treat “tackles” from both teams differently.
Anyway in relation to other matters how do you think Sinkys citation for diving by the Compliance Officer will go?
HH
Hot smoked-agreed,guys on here have told how easy it is for certain gamblers to place a bet that then makes a headline for a rag
First goal is especially crucial tomorrow night, they get it and it’s a tough night ahead. We get it and it’ll suck the life out of them.
Any of our experts make any sense of today’s Takeover Panel Disclosure Table entry 7 (RIFC & DCK) ?
http://www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk/disclosure/disclosure-table
What are the odds of Moult going at full speed into our box and feeling a slight touch which sends him down they get a penalty and we get a sending off ….. i for one will be bloody screaming ….never a pen ……
Anyhoo , hope Brown and Lustig keep the heed .
They might target the Griff ala the Ross County player Gardyne i think it was .
Keep calm and we should see it through .
MARSPAPA-no pens,no incidents,just a straight forward 3:0 win.easy the peasy:-)))
Bed time
FAIRHILL BHOY
I sure hope so :))
MARSPAPA:-))))
Watching the rocastle wright documentary in bed so good night:-))

Not an expert, but my take would be that this was issued to allow them to make a statement without reference to the stock market. Possible announcement on Thursdays AGM? Who knows? Basket case !
I just read an Evening Times article with the Motherwell boss on newsnow Celtic there .
What a pile of mince , ‘Cedric (Kipre) was devastated ‘.
‘We picked him up and gave him a cuddle ‘.
As expected , still no acknowledgement of the physical damage done to Moussa by that ‘non aggressor’ , Kipre.
I don’t know who does Motherwell’s PR work but it looks increasingly like Robinson has been told to persevere with the victim of an injustice spiel.
We should have all the motivation required to sort out the bleaters , whingers and hypocrites from Fir Park.
Dallas Dallas
I believe that Grant Russell ex STV is Head of Comms at Fir Park now.
Let’s hope we give them a real going over tomorrow night.
Hail Hail.
