A couple of days, at least.
Celtic swept past Stranraer fairly comfortably, with goals from the new look twin pronged strike force of Leigh Griffiths and Carlton Cole. Ronny deila appearing to bend to the supporters will to try two up front-or of course , in a low risk game, he could simply have been trying out a new formation, to see how the players coped, but he still got stick for not starting Scott Allan, even though the pitch, which was not perfect, probably wasn’t suited to the players on the deck passing and movement style.
Allan, of course, did okay when he came on, so really there’s little to moan about on the park.
Anyone else get a little nervous when the ball was played back to the keeper onto his right foot….? I did, but thats because we’re used to it going to the left of Craig Gordon.
Anyway, Celtic are still on course for a treble, and thats what counts.
And Ronny seemed pleased with the results of his experiment;
“He (Carlton) played well with Leigh and they scored three goals together so I can’t be irritated about that. You can see Carlton is experienced and knows how to score and be a striker.
“I was happy for Carlton to score as means not everything is on Leigh’s shoulders, and maybe it was good for him to have some days off as there have been a lot of games for him.
“Leigh is important for us. He scores goals and works really hard for the team as well so I’m happy to have him back. He’s my dream striker.
“It was a good performance,” added the Hoops boss. “It’s always tough to go away in the early stages of the cup as you have everything to lose – we have all been through it before.
“Today, we did it in a very good way. We had a poor five minutes but after that we controlled the game, creating chances and really put on a good performance.
“He (the goalkeeper) did well. He saved a lot of opportunities and it was good it wasn’t everything.”
“This is about player types as sometimes you need to win the midfield and you need more players in there to control the game,” explained the manager.
“Today we were quite sure that we were going to win it with Stefan and Nir. We knew it was a narrow pitch and we wanted to have more pressure inside the 18-yard box and I felt it worked well. It’s important we can change and have a plan A, B, C and D if we need to do.”
Maybe he feels the players are now ready to try something different…..
Which would explain the flurry of , if not actual signings, but certainly interest in attacking players this month.
Aberdeen and Hamilton are out, the Dons fans had a message for their manager which suggests they are displeased that their season is over before Santa has put his sleigh back in the garage
As, too, are St. Johnstone, so a couple of tricky away ties are now not going to happen, but that does leave the inevitable trip to Tynecastle, or the one the tv companies, newspapers and probably the more optimistic Ibrox supporters want.
A trip across the city to continue the Celtic ethos of helping the poor.
Two hot balls, thirty cold ones….
Personally, I’d expect that tie to come up later, but the powers that be really can’t risk Second Rangers facing a full time team and making an arse of it again, so its likely that by teat time tonight, we’ll all be looking forward to an Old Firm game.
Well, thats what they’ll be telling us.
Right, who’s up for a game of Devils Advocate ?
Yesterday, a number of flares were set off, which , while not entirely unexpected, was certainly not welcome.
I’m not sure as to who did it, but it probably wasn’t anyone over the age of thirty.
And so the press can have their little game of whataboutery… it gives them a chance to focus on something that doesn’t involve singing racist or sectarian songs.
Of course, they asked Deila about it almost immediately.
We don’t want thisIt’s something that is making a bad reputation for the club. So this is absolutely something we need to get stopped.
“It is not positive for anybody and we, as a club, don’t want to have anything to do with this.
“It’s not my job – but I’m a part of this club. We’ve talked about it a lot and we have to get it away from this club.
“That is why we have football as a cultural thing that everybody can be part of. Safety has to be the most important thing in every game we play. Of course it’s everybody who has to be safe.
“Everybody realises it’s something we have to get stopped – and we’ll do everything we can to stop it.”
Thats his message.
Mine is much more simple to those obsessed with choking everyone around them with acrid smoke.
Fucking grow up and stop acting like arseholes.
Which brings me to the singing.
A chorus of Brits Out.
It might be a little churlish of me to point out that they have already gone, but here’s a thought…
What if it was blacks out ? Or Jews, Pakistani’s or Syrians ?
Is it really any different to famines being over and being told to go home ?
Politics has no place at the football.
Most of the time.
We know its a slightly skewered society up there. But anything we do as a club or as a support will be seized upon immediately.
At least by a vindictive press who will jump on anything they can to give the support, and the club, a bad name.
As we have seen on countless occasions, good Celtic stories, such as this one;
will not mahe the papers, but bad ones will.
Devils Advocate again, and you know how Celtic fans are quick to point out anything that adds fuel to the hidden agenda behind the mainstream media.
Well, how about this….?
We know its nonsense, the reporters will no doubt know its nonsense, but on paper, they do have a point.
Mind you, if they read the papers, that point is immediately rendered invalid, but it does make you think.
The solution, of course, would be to encourage fair and balanced reporting. The two hacks above, overall, are among the few who usually do.
Trouble is, there are a couple who owe their living to encouraging one side to feel they need never face awkward questions about anything, whilst highlighting the relatively trivial on the other.
As the advocate of the dark lord, my conclusion is that its a mess, and as a support, Celtic fans, who are by and large a decent, intelligent bunch, need to rise above this and concentrate on our own behaviour, and take no notice of what is essentially an irrelevance on the other side of the city.
In order to do that, the club needs a strong PR man.
We might criticise Level 5 for their parochialism, but Celtic need a similar amount of control,over what gets made public, and how it is made public.
John Collins was at the centre of a storm again this weekend, and he doesn’t deserve to be.
Its well known that the club want Rangers back in the top league, and although at a recent meeting up there I pointed out the difficulties in the black art of resurrection, I got the feeling that the club haven’t quite grasped the concept of liquidation.
In the end, we all agreed that a sizable club within the city limits would be no bad thing, but not that one.
Well, I did. I felt I was being humoured.
If the club want the new club in, and are not prepared to say so publicly, then at least stop hanging Collins out to dry by making him say it, or , to give them the benefit of the doubt, allowing him to say it.
Where they are concerned, players and management should be given an instruction to say they are only going to talk about Celtic, and no-one else.
Its not rocket science.
Concentrate on our club. our fans and our players.
Sod everybody else.
Mind you, I did have a chuckle at this.
SFA must sanction Celtic for their fan’s behaviour. Sectarian singing & flares all match. 1 animal just shat in a Lidl bag & threw it at us.
One suspects this story might not be entirely true. and it may also have the most tenuous of links with Stranraer.
But it gave me an idea,
Half time is usually a bit dull , and if it hasn’t been the best of games, then some fans are maybe tempted to drift of to the pub.
However, I’ve had an idea, to keep people interested after the paradise windfall draw…
Remember this, from nineties tv programme “Gladiators ”
Well, instead of hitting each other with oversized cottin buds, how about a contest, similarly staged, where two lucky fans compete by trying to hit each other with carrier bags full of excrement ?
I think its a winner, but then, I’m a bit strange.
It could become a tradition. you know, like this one…
Thanks to chrisnbhoy, who’s name appears on the picture, meaning i can’t pretend its anything to do with me.
It is, of course, the Loving Cup ceremony, performed ahead of the first home game of a new year at Ibrox, now continued by the new club. Thats not a photoshop, by the way. They changed the cup, for contractual reasons, to the mug seen above, and theres apparently a seven year notice period of they want to change back.
However, many feel it was a result of finding out that they were in fact, copying an old Celtic tradition… something discovered and shared by larkinabout, on twitter.
The use of the wine cup or Loving Cup at a wedding is an ancient tradition. By the 15th century it was common for the Celtic people to toast each other with a ceremonial Loving Cup. In Scotland this cup is known as a quaich, which comes from the Celtic word cuach, meaning cup. The Loving Cup ceremony also has its roots in Irish, French and Jewish cultures.
Today there are different versions of the Loving Cup. The traditional quaich is shaped like a 2 handled bowl and often has a inlaid Celtic design. Loving Cups come in many designs, shapes, sizes and colors. Some couples choose use a crystal wine glass and have their names and the date of their wedding etched in glass.
Does this make me obsessed ? What exactly is obsessed ?
Not as obsessed as these guys, paid presumably to protect, serve, and make sure theres no beer on your bus…
Even the uniform appears to be designed to make them feel like they are some sort of hollywood inspired elite task force.
Worried ? You should be.
From here its only a short step to annexing Czechoslovakia and invading Poland.
By the way, I’ve heard from Tom Campbell.
He’s making good -if sluggish -progress from his triple by pass operation, and I’m sure you’ll join me in wishing him all the best.
Heres a picture that you don’t see every day.
Where is it, and whats the occasion ?
Today we have the sad news that the man who was probably the most influential artist in British music history has passed away after a long battle with cancer.
David Bowie was 69, and will be remembered for his music, his fashion , and his many alter egos, such as Ziggy Stardust, pictured below;
Is it only me that thinks that Mark Warburton looks like the current day Russ Abbott? If you have nothing better to do (and why would you), check out Google images and compare.
“Obsesse…..”oh fuck cover blown wrong site.
the smoke bombs, flares, pyros need to stop now, what the fuck is wrong with these people, do they not understand that they are ruining the game for fellow fans and ruining the reputation of the club at the same time, it brings us down to orc level, and gives the SMSM an excuse to talk about us in the same breath, not that they need one , but it gives them justification as regards the singing, we have plenty songs to sing, that have nothing to do with what might be construed as illegal songs, sing them, we don’t need brits out at football games, just celtic songs, time for the club and the fellow fans to home police and get rid of these people who seem intent on dragging us down and ruining the reputation of the fanbase and the club
wisla krakow in uefa cup
Ralph,
While we might laugh at the huns for paying Level 5 half a million a year to manage their PR,they are getting better bang for their buck than us,paying PL twice the amount and making an arse of it.
As for the pyro,time for some stupid wee boys to do some growing up.
Collins’ remarks about the huns? Shows how little he knows or cares about how the fans feel. Probably an audition for his imminent new job on the telly.
Isn’t Bailly left footed as well? Would be tempted to give him the next game against Dundee Utd for a change
Will those reptiles who let off flares at games Feck off you are scum and the vast majority of Celtic fans hate you for what you bring to our club now just stop it it only gets the club into trouble so why do it H H
Calm down!
I am afraid your approach to these poor flidiots will not work. Unfortunately they do not respect themselves deep down and as such cannot respect an idea, belief, right or entity. Perhaps if they could learn to like themselves enough they would then begin to like and respect other things and people.
Preemptive: bugger aff an’ watch Sky Sports News Monti so you can form an opinion tomorrow. xox.
Donny…..
Sadly there are those among our own support who think flares and smoke bombs is just a case of “boys will be boys” or “helps create a good atmosphere”
We also have the myopic idiots who can only reply with “Aye, but Rangers…”
Until you weed out the apologists then the idiots will still feel they have license to act however they please
Fair comment cue the love….
Defeats the efforts of those campaigning for FAC when members of out own support break not only stadium rules but actual laws as well.
I’m planning on starting FAFF. Fans Against Flare Fuds.
Good win yesterday glad RD went with two up front. Level 5 can put out anything without question from our neutral press, eg. it was the minority (45,000) singing sectarian songs.
HH
Wonder if we’ll see such devotion to duty from Scotland’s finest when the forthcoming rugby internationals come about. Imagine them stopping the coaches of the rugger buggers? Had a guy in the taxi Saturday night who was a big spender in the corporate boxes at the defunct club. He said he’s not at all sure about King and said if he’s got the funds he says he has then why did the Huns foundation have to bail them out again? Lots more fun to come I think.
HH
why do they make it so easy for these wee roasters to get tickets? when you get a ticket for an away tie in europe you must provide travel documents and passport etc… why do they niot do that for away games as well? they know fine well who these people are so more could be done!!!
The fans weren’t singing ‘ Brits out ‘ they were singing ” get your tits out now ” to Dan the man!
Monti Shhh!
Can’t believe those clowns and their antics with the flares. So brave hiding behind their banner. By all accounts true Celtic fans who have confronted these morons have been threatened and intimidated. WTF? infact GTF.
Good game in difficult circumstances so well done the players. Gives Ronny a bit of breathing space, how the slacker can keep his job is beyond me. Only top of the league and still in every domestic competition, there must be someone who can do better? 🙂
Overall happy for a change, a cow pat of a pitch and no one injured. Cole lasted well and provided som bulk up front, hopefully Delilah goes with two upfront for a few games, Leigh outstanding especially overhead kick, mind you Cole did one too.
One other point liked how Baill tried to fling the ball to outfield players to get a move up and running.
Now what a whitabootery, the muppets that let off th flares should be punished by the club, this is happening far to often. The sectarian singing! I noted thus was the first thing mntioned by the MSM, the desperation to compare this to the bile at the Hibees game is sad.
Our muppets are only a few the other side are legions, but then again they hav the greatest goal scorer in Britain according to the MSM, wonder where tha puts Leigh.
There is not enough emphasis is this country with regarding ‘assists’. Three great ones yesterday, they where all ‘put on a plate’ for the strikers and by the looks on their faces after scoring, they also forgot the contribution their teammates played in helping them achieve their objective. Pity the rhetoric today overshadows the terrific backing the fans gave the team yesterday. HH
Oh that rhetoric is really damaging Celtic…
Drastic action must be taken to sort out these idiots who persist in letting off flares NOW before they finally do irreparable damage to our club. Celtic must have the details of these numpties on some sort of database so stop selling tickets to them -especially for away games as these are where they display their worst excesses. Even if it means not selling tickets to people of a certain age – say under 25 – they so be it. A few might have to suffer for the good of the many. It’s also time Police Scotland started doing their job properly. Standing with their backs to the pitch filming fans merely goads them on. Instead get squads of big, hairy arsed polis on the terracings or in among the fans wherever they are positioned and the minute anyone attempts to light a flare nail him. And if any of his misguided eejit pals try to intervene lift them too then ban the lot from attending football matches for life once they’ve been found guilty. Draconian? Yes, but necessary.
these clowns need to stop now, they drag us down to gutter level along with the permanently raging at fascist fascist, they give the SMSM a chance to tar us all with the one brush and cocks like graham an opportunity to grandstand and say I told you so, why would you do that??
the green brigade do not represent the fanbase and its time for some self policing from the club and the fans to weed out these children, and either educate or eradicate.
I wont take umbrage to the bowie piss take. However ill try and relate to the times when this genius was doing his best work
Release of hunky dory was about the time celtic made the 1970 final against feyenoord. The geeat post lions team who went on to complete a world record 9 in a row. Bowies music and the times resonate with me strongly. He was great and so were we. So theres a starman waiting in the sky . I just hope we sign him
Generally speaking I did not enjoy yesterdays game even allowing for a lumpy pitch. So many passes went astray. But then Efe made me feel better, his passing accuracy was probably the best of all players on the field. Two games now in which he has played very well. He has, hasn’t he?
He has and get’s way too much stick in my opinion.
He is shite!
efe is better than what we have at cb!! although prone to stupid mistakes hes our best cb,nd he is also good at rb, lustig doesnt look comfotable there, efe rb and lustig cb
What?
ambrose is our best centre back imo….. and i dont think lustig looks great at rb at the moment… id have no issue moving efe to rb (he won an african nations cup winners medal in that position) i knoiw he makes mistakes but hes still better than we have at the moment!! not saying its a good thing but thats my thoughts
That’s mental talk. Big Jozo has looked fairly solid considering his age, injuries and inexperience. Ambrose has played at two World Cups yet still manages to look like he’s playing Sunday 5’s in rollerskates half the time.
Two good games doesn’t a decent centre-half make. Especially when one of them was against Stranraer.
Efe has played in over 150 games for Celtic and probably had 10 mares in that time.
Folk forget how good he was when we played the likes of Barca when he never put a foot wrong over two games against arguably the vest attack in World Football?
Defenders are like Keepers in a lot of respects they make 3 maybe 4 high profile blunders and are branded shite or dodgy forever more.
Strikers can blow easy chances at the other end and it quickly gets forgotten as they score more goals.
big jozo!? you werent at the partick game last week then where you? ‘big jozo’ standing almost with his hands in his pockets at times and gordon cracking up from goal kicks every time….. wouldnt say that its mental talk tbf
Can you no read? I’ve clearly stated that the guy has looked “fairly” solid and has to be given leeway for a number of reasons.
Efe has been at Celtic for years, knows Scottish fitba in-and-out and is a multi-capped full international with major honours.
Don’t let that get in the way of your agenda though.
my agenda? what agenda is that? backing a player that gets too much stick? where you at the game? do you see off the ball movement etc? ive missed 5 games all year excluding qualifiers home away and abroad so i see week in week out the way players are playing so feel i am qualified to pass my opinion.. you may disagree which is fine but i certainly have no agenda!! for 5.5million this bhoy is by no means what i would expect of him…
You’ve just revealed your agenda in that post. You only back Efe out of some misguided “cult hero” nonsense because anyone with two eyes can see he’s a bombscare.
Then you give it the “Ah’ve only missed wan game in ra last 30 years” pish. Irrelevant to the discussion.
Thirdly Simunovic didn’t even cost £5m. That’s paper talk.
Come back when you’re ready to discuss it properly.
nonsense!!! theres a footballer in there.. ive acknowledged he makes some mistakes however i have no issues with him starting cb at the moment ahead of others!! ‘cult hero’ no, certainly not, but hes not as bad as others make out! and going to games and seeing everything you do makes a difference to opinions!! theres lot of opinions out there from fans that due to circumstances maybe t have the full picture i.e postional play off the ball, runs that dont get picked up on tv… gordon spent a good 15mins against partick bollocking jozo for his postions at goal kicks etc, basically he didnt look interested… call that an agenda if you want, i call it an observation, one that can only be made if you go to the games!!!
Totally agree!
He is the worst central defender in our history.
by some distance.
@Monti Stop talking Sheidt.
Aye when Celtic played the great BARCA,
those were the days my friend those were the days.
Will we ever see there likes again?
If only Monti could learn to like himself. Maybe he could start to like Efe.
“I am an ogre.”
SERIOUSLY though Efe has had to adapt to a very high defensive line of 2 with a half back in between if they remember they are not playing the #10 role. This has taken time primarily due to a complete loss of confidence and having to concentrate on RB for much of last season. I still think he gets a rush of blood to the head and makes school body errors, but they are becoming less and less in this system.
I think he’s more prone to mistakes the further wide on the right he plays bg.
I would play him on the left sided CB slot as this way it cut’s out his need to cut inside which is has been his biggest downfall I think?
As for Lustig I think his form this Season has been ropey to say the least.
A fit Janko or Fisher might be a better option at RB.
He’s not Captain material either.
Its a fact that lustig is carrying a bad hip injury,i would say that hes only playing at about 75%,Janko is also carrying a bad injury from earlier in the season.
My own opinion is that Calum Paterson of Hertz would be a long term replacement,i also like Darnell Fisher who is on loan at St Johnstone but am unsure re his long term suitability.
I like Paterson he’s a solid defender.
I think Wardrop may well be the answer coupled with Janko.
Lustigs been injured since the day he arrived reminds me of Kayal in that respect you know there is a player in there but you only ever see it in flashes in between injury.
Go and sign the Hearts RB , somebody did a decent breakdown of his worth, Mike I think yesterday he is young fit ,can defend and attack and scores goals having played as a CF earlier in his career. Just can’t remember his name at this moment.☘☘☘
Calum Paterson from post above totally agree. Good player.☘☘☘
He is worse than Ambrose and he has a moustache!
Monti,
Naw your comparing a really good young footballer,to a can of condensed milk.
the moustache comes when you drink the milk straight from the can.
UMMMMM Ambrosia?
Monti Shhh!
BGBHOY
Agreed. Efe is criminally lambasted and could do without it.
You don’t win The African Nations Cup-and a silver at the Olympics-by being p-poor.
Give him his position back in the team,tell the boo boys on the terraces to shut it,and let him regain his confidence.
He might not be,for instance,Paul Elliott. But he’s by far the best we have.
(And under the current board,the best we’re likely to have for some considerable time…)
agreed, if its not efe its wee forrest and so on… not good to see forrest on the bench again… when playing a 4-4-2 should we not deploy natural wide men? lot of garbage coming out of officials mouths re contracts and speaking to agents… wouldnt be surpised if we lose him in the next window for nothing, or in this window cut price… would any of you guys sign on to work for less money? #downsizing
I agree on the 2 wide men and for me it never worked that well due to this.
All the goals came right through the middle not from out wide same as most have under the other System.
I think had we stuck to the usual Formation we would put at least 3 past them last night.
If both wingers (GM-S Forrest) are fit then I can see him deploying 4-4-2 again but otherwise I think 4-3-3 would have been better last night with the team we had out.
BGBHOY
I said that before kick-off. We’ve played wi multiple wide men with only one up front,but none when we have two including a big target man?
Strange decision,but heyho…
Perhaps he took one look at the state of the pitch and decided not to risk them?
Odd decision though.
Shoulda went 4-3-3 with a Diamond with the players available:
……………Bailly
.
Lustig Ambrose Simunovic Tierney
.
……………Bitton
…..McGregor…………Johansen
.
……………Commons
.
……..Griffiths…….Cole
Paul Elliot,
I loved that player,if i was a lassie i would have let him dae anything he wanted.
😀
I’m no apologist by any stretch of the imagination however I will start by saying that, and this is my personal opinion, flares really don’t offend me and I think far far too much is made of it. Look around Europe and it happens at football matches EVERY week and nothing like the furore is made of it that we see here.
That said the situation is very clear. The law says they should not be set off in football grounds. The club has also made its position very clear, flares are not welcome at Celtic park or away venues.
I said that flares don’t offend me but I do acknowledge that they represent a possible danger to people, and the use of them DOES give a very compliant media a stick to beat us with.
So guys get a grip and stop it now.
I agree credit were credit is due big effe had a good game yesterday at last,the muppets out there who claim to love our great club stop acting like huns and behave or fucking support some other team.
HH
Don’t know how accurate the reports on us chasing Kolbeinn Sigþórsson but he does look like he could do a decent job for us at Celtic.
Big strong ,quick forward good with both his feet and head in the box could be a good fit.
https://youtu.be/s3OMyRt_das
Efe is so much better than Boyata, the fact that he can attack a ball in the air is why we haven’t lost a goal since he has come back into the team.
Yesterday was definitely a step in the right direction and playing 4-4-2 was good and for the first time in a while we looked dangerous up front too.
Onwards and upwards
I don’t condone the behaviour of those there, but equating a chant of “Brits Out” with racism is too far I think. The “Brits” in question are the British Army, as I’m sure you are aware. So in answer to your question, yes it really is quite different.
Chanting “Brits Out” is about the British Army…
…Naw it’s just a bunch of sad wee fannies looking for both some attention and a reaction.
Could be a reference to a foreign country that colonized another country and then renagued on a vote taken Ireland wide and annexed (kept) 6 counties. As far as I know it is still run by the British and organs of state eventually report up to British Ministers. So if these folks had Irish republican sentiments they would be correct is asking for Brits Out.
Decent game glad to see 2 up front and Cole very a . I’m Scotland letting off flares is illegal so sweet need to self police, shop people if you see them we, Celtic first Celtic last & Celtic over all
Not a bit churlish of you to point out the brits have gone. Which country are you talking about ? Because the fuckers are still here in Ireland, and that’s what the song was about I’d say ?
Indeed they are!
Right now, Efe is our best centre back and is our best player in the air. Big Bobo also got this type of unfair criticism. Scottish Cup Draw is at 6:15 p.m. I would like a home draw against any ‘smaller’ club. Tough ties? Away to Motherwell, Hibs or Hearts, Ross County or Inverness, maybe Partick who are playing well at the moment. I think we can handle any other team home or away.
You are right about efe being our best player in the air, he is strong, quick and powerful at attacking every high ball hit into our area.
If you think back to how many goals we lost at free kicks and corners at the start of the season especially in Europe was down mainly to one player….Boyata. How many goals and games has he cost us ? If efe had played in those games, who knows we might have qualified for the CL but we will never know now but what we do know is that with efe in the team we defend corners and free kicks so much better.
devoy, the only tie i dont want is away to second rangers… do we really this team to do the business? remember ame we where going to ibrox to win the league?? gives me the fear rightly or wrongly
***trust this team
Devoy with respect you do realise that you just expressed concern about playing Motherwell, a championship level HIbs team and possibly Partick away from home in the Scottish cup, if things are that bad then we are in even more trouble than we knew
Just up and all I see inthe news is the sad passing of David Bowie and flares being offensive.
Fuck me, what’s the world coming to.
Efe Ambrose will cost Celtic this season…it’s coming!
i have alot more faith in efe than the manager!!!!!
I have little faith in either mate!
Ambrose is a Circus clown and Deila is gambling with his job playing him.
Come on Monti try and be positive just once FFS.
Maryhill. We can win any of those ties if we had to but why not at home? It would be nice to save the tricky fixtures for later in the tournament. Some of those teams like Motherwell and Partick have some form right now, that’s all I’m saying. Celtic’s history is full of banana skins, and Partick, Inverness, Ross County and Hibs all figured in that. bgbhoy, you’re right about Newco/Sevco. Any match at Ibrox brings out disgust, not fear, and football shouldn’t be about disgust, or having players sent off, or offsides not given, or MIBs doing what MIBs do. I would like Them at Paradise though, maybe later in the tournament when we have a full team at our disposal. Broonie would flourish in a match like that, so would Mulgrew.
3 guys suspended for the pyros no problem wae that but ffs let the people sing
There is still a problem with the definition of sectarian?☘☘☘
The hills are alive with the sound of Music,
Hope that didnt offend the gutter press?
I gather Roamin in the Gloamin got a wee airing at Stranraer?
If true then letting the eejit fraternity sing will have cost us more money yet again.
There is only one certainty about tonights draw… The new huns will get a home draw and almost certainly against one of the weakest teams remaining!
Brits out – They have already gone….??
Any satistics to back this up please 🙂
They should push for a Referendum in the North pretty sure the vote would be a close run thing.
Obviously ban the efkin BBC from being involved in any way,shape or form 😉
Surprise surprise we are away in the cup and the Huns get a home draw
The problem is we are playing better away at the moment and will go through ,the Huns are playing a team who are improving and at a level above them so MIB permitting they should go out.☘☘☘
That’s because the travelling support don’t mean and groan through 90 minutes.
I wanted sevco but il take the bigger team!
🙂
Funny☘☘☘
Hearts v Hibs will be a cracker between two good sides .Hope the Hibees grub them☘☘☘
Dan,
Stoksey might be playing for the Hibees,they might have a better starting 11 than us.
Stokes will be on loan and not available Mile.☘☘☘
Are you sure?
No unless I was signing off the deal . Even with Stokes in the Hibs team I still take Celtic to beat them with Griffiths up front for us.☘☘☘
Nurse Ratched….?
Monti Shhh! ‘Ratchet’ ????
Of course Sevco get a home draw—the penalty awards are already being planned!
Dundee United vs. Partick
Motherwell vs. ICT/Stirling
Hearts vs. Hibs!
Ross Co/Dumf vs. Linlithgow/Forfar
East Kilbride/Lothian vs. Celtic
Newco vs.Kilmarnock
Annan vs. Morton
Dunbarton vs. Dundee/Falkirk
Ties: Saturday 6th Feb.
