The club should make sure that every home supporter that wants one, gets one by a certain date - and then give the remaining number to Celtic Supporters to take the number up to 9,999. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have heared from the ticket office team that Celtic and Rangrs allocation maybe reduced to the "15/16 Play off Final" levels. Nothing definite but it seems we might actually be doing something in retaliation to the away fans issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been far more secret squirrel about injuries under Alexander than we were with Robinson so Shields could be fit and just not making the squad or he could be out with a knock and no one's the wiser. It's been mentioned before but he's had a tough start to his Motherwell career, he picked up a hamstring injury and missed a chunk of pre-season then was given a couple of chances against St Johnstone in the league and Dundee in the cup and didn't really take them (literally in the Dundee game - he hit the bar). Since then we've been on good form results wise and we have a bit of depth up front - Shields has Watt, Van Veen, Woolery and Roberts ahead of him in terms of starting players and Amaluzor and the lesser spotted Lawless (who also hasn't been seen since that Dundee game in the cup) as reserves. We've a pretty big squad and I'd still kind of expect a few to go out on loan beyond Max Johnston but who knows. There are a clutch of players who are unlikely to start but are probably pretty mindful about cover given we've not been able put out a settled defence in consecutive weeks and we've even seen a couple of injuries in midfield mean Robbie Crawford's found himself back on the bench lately. Given Shields is not long in the door and has a 3 year deal I'd be surprised if we loaned him out as soon after signing but equally given the lack of reserve fitba' it would kind of make sense for a couple of those who aren't getting competitive games to get a short loan spell.

Swello Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 If what has happened in defence, where injuries and suspensions have meant that everyone has had a shot, had happened up front, I'm sure we would have seen Shields more - but as @capt_oats said, we've got a settled front 3 at the moment, who have all scored and assisted. The only surprise to me (and what makes me think Shields may be injured/ill is that Amaluzor has been on the bench every week without looking any sort of world-beater so far). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the other thing is that the suspensions for the front 3 are clearly in the post and with our numbers as they are it probably doesn't take much for him to see those around the fringes of the squad get an opportunity. It's just if everyone is fit and settled there seems some excess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberts is out for next week so Shields should fill that slot, if fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobby Dossar Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 After all there moaning about our game management last week ……… I see that Rangers had 2 men booked in the last 10 minutes for time wasting ……… What goes around comes around. I’m sure Gerrard will be calling it out for what it is (not) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorky Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Well Robinson stated the other day everyone was fit so it’s slightly baffling, as is the omission of Goss. Maybe they are not up to the required standard at this stage but after giving out a 3 year contract t you would think he would at least be on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Loving on Sportscene claiming "he will get booked for that" as Tony stands atop the wall like a footballing god. He just gave the ref a wee wink, sorted. Leaving him free to get booked for shithousing during injury time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing definite but it seems we might actually be doing something in retaliation to the away fans issue. Would love it if this was so. We all know that a lot of home fans stay away when both these teams come to town, as they don't like being amongst 'the minority' element (aye right) of their supports that is always present when in and around the ground. I imagine this is true of most, if not all clubs across the league. Give them minimum allocation, high up in the away stand and try to attract as big and vocal a home support as possible. It's the kind of atmosphere guys like KVV thrive on. A busy, colourful and noisy home end would help give us the best possible chance of getting a result and keeping us up at the top end of the table. Neither are any great shakes so far this season, and we are more than capable of results against both, as we already proved last week. Why not give yourself every advantage possible? Fùck the green or blue poonds. If the club are strong enough to take the stand, we need to back them by getting the home end as full as possible.

MP_MFC Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I cannae describe how much I hate that man. I’d say hopefully he signs for Livi or someone to boo him but his level is so far below this league it’s unreal. Compare and contrast his personality with Watt and O Donnell and even Liam Kelly. Utter p***k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
