Mr Sifter Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 On Talksport just now, Donkey expects us to get beaten "comfortably" due to us having already done what we had to. He went on to talk about us being "there in body if not mind". Given that he is close to the players, what has he heard from them? What message does this send to the support who are spending hard earned cash to go and follow the team? As it happens, I think we'll hump the celts, we can go there with no pressure on our shoulders and just enjoy the game. So Donkey....yer wrong!!

milky_26 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 maybe its reverse psychology, he claims that we will get thumped and the players read/hear this and put in some real fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammy T Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I agree with him If Celtic need to win and we dont I dont think we'll get anything I'd love to go and win but you aint going to get Celtic not scoring 2 games on the trot and I doubt we'll score 2. Doesnt matter though in the scheme of things I think it will be similar to when we went to Ibrox the other year having tied up second - we'll play oK, we'll lose 2-0 and it wont really matter. It would be good to see Templeton at least get a good 30 minutes though - possibly even start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relaxed players often produce the goods. I agree, Celtic need to win at least as a draw means they have no chance for the title. So I would imagine Celtic will play all out attack, I would like us to play defensive but look to hit them quickly on the counter as thats where they will be weakest, if we do score it will force them to either have to defend a bit more, easing pressure on us or try to go further forward allowing larger gaps at the back. Put Templeton out on the wide, with another pacy winger and you could do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albishop Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Not really bothered about the score, although I don't want us to get humped. What I would really love to see is a hidden camera in the jambos end to illustrate how the self proclaimed 'worlds best fans' really behave and the idiot stewards with a jumped up sense of self importance.

hearts_crazy Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I am going to make a prediction here. Dundee Utd will have earlier beaten Rangers 1-0 at Tannadice, and Celtic will think they just have to turn up. Hearts will then beat Celtic by 3 goals to 2, scoring the winner in the last minute.

JamboSean Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 No way will Csaba allow them for switch off for the game against the Mhanks. He'll use this as a marker for who we can compete against them next season. Plus there's still contacts to be won, and personal pride. We should be going out with our strongest 11 with the aim of 3 points. I'd expect the very same if we were playing any other club in the SPL.

I think if Rangers dont get Champs League next season they are in for some medium term serious financial problems. If Rangers have to get rid of key players and dont replace them with equivalent quality they might get drawn back into the pack But that aside I'd rather see a couple of youngsters get a shout at the weekend than try and bore out a 0-0 draw like Hibs did at the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this game Celtic know they have to win, they cannot count on Rangers not getting a result at Tannadice, so a draw will not be an option for them. That puts huge pressure on them. If they fail to get a break through early against us the crowd will turn against them. We, on the other hand, have achieved what we set out to achieve, we can go out, relax, play football and ram it right up the plastic paddy, republican sh*tebags.
