Wee Mikey Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 34 minutes ago, Shooter McGavin said: I think we’ll get beat today, convincingly. And I’ll probably steer clear of this thread to avoid all the weirdos who think we’re 2008-12 Barcelona and that you can win literally every single game if you “just have a go!” That Celtic squad is worth about £100 million ffs… Never forget. When we played Liverpool at Anfield their squad at that time was quoted as being £100M (which at that time was absolutely massive - now dwarfed thanks to Sky). On the way up the road to a local boozer with Liverpool fans I took delight with informimg them that our scorer, Templeton, was our (at that time) top paid-for signing at £30K from Stenhousemuir. The Liverpool fella was non-plussed! So, you never know ... As for when we scudded the Celtic so-called 'Invincibles' 4-0 at Tynie? Unforgettable, and it never ceases to amaze me when I look at our line-up for that match. We were, on paper, on a hiding to nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only some on here backed the players as much as they back the manager. I back the current players 100%, they certainly wouldn’t lose to Brora. The players and team culture he inherited back then was a joke and he has changed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Mallin_51 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Don’t think you can blame Neilson, the players or anyone in particular for our poor record in Glasgow against the gruesome twosome. No wins at Parkhead since 2009… plenty managers and players been and gone since then. Quite bad to think our last win through there against either was Robbie’s first competitive game in charge. Think the main problem is most our fans, the media, more or less everyone expects to take nothing from them through there.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 20 minutes ago, Finlay James said: Sorry to piss on your parade but it was the players who lost the match, Neilson wasn’t on the pitch. Also, it was a freak result at a time we were at the beginning of a major rebuild. Neilson has completely changed the personnel and culture of the club and we are only going to go from strength to strength with him as head coach. He has more that rebuilt his credit with the support. Stop making excuses. Managers are accountable and rightly so. The point is that was his nadir and he was lucky to survive. That he has managed to do that and surpass expectations deserves praise. All I was pointing out to the poster was why Neilson isn't widely lauded by our support.

Personally I think he has done better than expected, bar a few embarassments and is a big improvement on The Ian Cathro Experiment and Levein Mark II. Nobody is perfect. Nobody can, or would I'd hope, argue he isn't an improvement on the two you mentioned That doesn't make him perfect or untouchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't here about it on match days only on here as certain types of posters like to bring it up. I remember the good old days when you could criticise a player or a manager for a decision but praise them for others, and it didn’t mean you loved or hated them. Here’s an example the Hibs game I thought Neilsons team selection was spot on and everything was going to plan, but I think he should’ve brought Gino on to give us an out ball…. Fair and balanced 🤷♂️ Don’t understand why people need to be so polarised with their opinions these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they’ll have too much for us, but like it or not a lot of our bigger players are going to have to get used to playing twice a week. Correct, the only players that should be left out are those with injuries/niggles. We might not be ready ( yet ) to fight on two fronts but we’ve got a lot of this coming over the next couple of months so we best get used to it.

1971fozzy Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 The big problem today is the defence. Without Halkett it’s nowhere near good enough I’m afraid.

Jambos_1874 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Every Premiership club in Scotland (bar the Hun) should only play their youth team at Celtic Park and Ibrox. Maybe even in home ties against them too. Use it as a form of protest against the bias and gross mismanagement of the league. Their players and fans would soon tire of absolute non contests every week and most teams pick up very little against them anyway. As for today's result, I think it will be a multi goal loss, probably 4-0. I rarely miss a game at Parkhead but the cost, travel and inevitable outcome have defeated me.

Ccjambo1874 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 We will lose by at least four today. Celtic will smell blood with rangers dropping points and I expect us to have an eye on Thursday. Probably the best time for us to play Celtic fixture wise as normally you go there expecting to lose so it's effectively a free hit in my eyes. It's all about Thursday for me. Normally don't condone us sitting in when through in Glasgow. But just park the bus and conserve energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our keeper having the game of his life is another key thing. Matching our opponents effort and energy levels is something we frequently fail to do in glasgow,and thats what gets me,although not having the ball for 70 minutes does that to a team.

I'd have Conor Smith in the midfield today. He's got a bit of dig about him and plenty of experience from his loans. Looked good pre season, give him a chance. I'd play all the fringe players TBH, maybe start with Thursday's defence but sub on the more fringe players later. A front 3 of GMS, Henderson and Gino and get in their faces.
