Dons_1988 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I hope we rest a few tbh. We have rangers at ibrox in just over 3 weeks so the lads need to be as fresh as possible. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a spirited performance with an inevitable late collapse. 1-2 the away side. I don't think it's feasible that they can keep up their intensity every match. They don't need intensity. Just an attack or two should do it. We may well score but i can genuinely see 5+ going in our net. Can we just get this over with 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG_03 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Is Lewis back? Can't see anything other than a defeat here, just depends on how much Celtic want to score. Anything from 0 1 to 0 5 depressingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'll have to be particularly intense against us. Hope I'm wrong and we give them a game, but I fear the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 This game just feels like an inconvenience ahead of our cup exit on Saturday and relegation six-pointer against St Johnstone next Tuesday. Can we just call it 0-3 now and move on? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id tend to agree with the intensity part but with the new ruling the have the option of subbing half of their outfield players if they are lacking in intensity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're surprised that a rule change that would benefit the two teams with the largest and most expensively assembled squads was approved? Welcome to Scotland, sir, I presume this is your first visit?

coprolite Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Not sure the 5 subs rule necessarily benefits bigger squads more. I understood it was to cope with fixture congestion (and resulting fatigue) and players having enforced absences (so being less than match fit). If you've a squad of 25 with 16-17 starters then your starting lineup is going to be much less flexible than a 35 man squad with 20 odd potential starters. If you've four games in 10 days a big squad can pretty much have 2 teams playing two games each. A small squad will have 7-11 players that need to start each game so not running them into the ground will help. When they're actually needed i'd say the relative benefit is greater for small squads. If Celtic have tired players they just won't start, irrespective how many subs they have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My observation was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but it would be naive to assume that something accepted by other clubs in Scottish football might not be intended to suit two. The inception of the 11-1 rule is just one example and I'm sure any historian of the Scottish game could produce others.

a1974h Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Should be a good laugh tonight. Broonie saving himself for rangers in a few weeks. Aberdeen fans love it as well. Its pure gold. Footballing mastermind big ange at the summit. Im sure the whole of europe is holding their breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Just been into the ticket office to get my tickets. Loads of Celtic fans phoning the ticket office to try and get tickets and being turned away. Glorious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Hopefully glass and ange meet beforehand to negotiate a reasonable score line to send Celtic back down the road happy on their way to a league title. I just hope ange realises that at this point our goal difference is important to us so a gentleman’s 2-1 would be appreciated. However, we will be guided by the hoops. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was up to me I would give them the same they give us (800 tickets) and build a pillar so their fans has a restricted view seat.

I got stuck in the away end when STs were moved because of Covid restrictions earlier in the season. No additional pillars needed, the view was rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Typical old firm entitlement. God forbid one of their away games aren’t televised on Sky and they have to slum it on PPV/hesgoal like the rest of us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
