capt_oats Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Clocked that he'd disappeared from the First Team staff page last month but I see that's Andy Boles moved to a Sports Scientist role at Celtic B (going by this Twitter bio). We were advertising a S&C coach role back in December. It's pretty wild the difference we've seen on that side of things since the department was set up.

ropy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Goss and Mugabi did their handshake bow routine again after Shields goal - has there been any explanation for this other than the Exeter (?) link. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 van Veen hates Aberdeen. Quotes from the s*nVan Veen goaded them after Well’s leveller in the 2-1 win and revealed there was no full-time handshake — as he accused them of dirty tricks.He said: “No, I didn’t shake their hands — not when they disrespect me like that."It’s a game but they didn’t come to shake my hand so I’m not going to step forward to shake theirs.“I’m sorry to say that because I’m not arrogant, I’m humble. But they are arrogant and they got what they deserved.“I think they had instructions to take me out of the game. It started in the first ten to 15 seconds. The best way to answer them is to score goals.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 In the match at Pittodrie, Brown was doing the same thing to Van Veen, so they have (rightly) identified him as someone that's easy to wind up. The only problem with the plan is that he seems to play really well when he's fired up, so I hope they keep it going on Saturday and that we can persuade some other teams to try it too... Also - I love when the occasional player steps outside media-trained boring soundbites - much more fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually something that's probably worth flagging amongst the noise following losing to United last week. We're at the stage of the season where there's probably enough of a sample size to draw some conclusions. (TL,DR: we're shite away from home). In terms of our home record the only teams we've lost to (in all competitions) have been Hibs on the opening day, Rangers and Celtic (x2). P 17 W 11 D 2 L 4 GF 26 GA 23 GD +3 That's good form in anyone's book (and the scuddings we've taken off Rangers and Celtic skew the GA column a fair bit). The flip is our away form where we've only won three times in 16 games. P 16 W 3 D 4 L 8 GF 11 GA 23 GD -12 Having a quick look at some of the posts I missed last week in the aftermath of the United game @MP_MFC made the point that there's not much difference between the run of poor form through the first round of fixtures and what we've seen recently - that seems fair comment IMO. The games we lost in the first round of fixtures were: Hibs (h), Hearts (a), Celtic (h), United (a)...so, 3 of the 3 games we've lost in this round so far. It's also feels less of a coincidence that of our last 6 without a win in the league 4 have been away fixtures (and we only lost 1 of the 2 at home and that loss was against Celtic). The question I guess is how we fix that as the home form pretty much nixes the argument from the "we're shite, we'll never win another game" Twitter crowd.

I think this tends to be a thing with Dutch/Belgian players and having no filter when it comes to interviews. Sure there's been a few down south that have came out with disarmingly honest things, by British standards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 It won't matter either way if it has the same poetic ending that the Peter Hartley situation did, but I'd much rather he'd have said it after another succesful result on Saturday. He's set himself up for a red card or a shiter on Saturday now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Is it possible to get a home tie in the semi? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Good draw for both teams. We’re obviously stronger at home and they are struggling in the league as much as we are. Hibs are unbeaten in their two visits to Fir Park this season. Should be a cracker. The downside is that I think all the games will be on TV so the kick off time will likely get moved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I'm annoyingly going to miss the game - but it's as good a draw as we could have hoped for and every chance to go through (Hibs will feel exactly the same) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
