RostokMcSpoons Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) I've never started one of these threads, might as well pop that cherry now... So another trip to Celtic, with the inevitable result awaiting. Let's face it, 99% of the time the result isn't in any doubt, it's just a matter of the number of goals. If 'Well had beaten DUFC and Hearts hadn't Hibs'ed it last weekend, then there'd be a bit more excitement about this game, but sadly aiming for 7th doesn't have quite the box office appeal that going for 6th does, so the chance of Unexpected Optimism Syndrome isn't going to be the case here. However, we do have Mr Hot Streak KVV leading the line, so there's a decent-ish chance we could nick a goal. It's therefore a shame our defence looked so accident-prone again and we'll probably ship a boat-load at the other end.

Phillips455 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I'll be in Glasgow tomorrow to watch motherwell. The Motherwell women's team at hampden that is. The Celtic game is basically already been decided. As long as the defeat is less than 3 goals then I won't really care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stressball Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Probably a doing with hopefully some rotation and good subs in order to keep players ticking over for the semi-final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 The best thing is that it is not the last game of the season, they are unlikely to score 7 and no 16 year old will come off the bench and score with his first touch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadStar Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Extremely difficult to give a f**k about this lads, 4-0 Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 More Oh Hyeon-Gyu please Ange. Batter them first half, get some fresh legs on for the second half. Well coming off the back of a home defeat, I can see the being quite the stuffy affair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Utterly pointless. Something-nil to the home side. Thoughts and prayers with the thousands of ticketless Celtic fans who'll be outside the ground desperate to pump money into Scottish football. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) For some reason I thought we were playing Hibs which makes no sense as we played them at home last month. Anyway we will most likely have an eye on the semi final so would like to see a good few rested with more minutes for the likes of Bernabei, Kobayashi and Oh.

Busta Nut Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I'll be at Ayr races. I couldn't care about this. It's so telling how not one Motherwell fan so far will be bothered by this game. (we reserve the right to change our minds) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 As much as when we are on a good run and they are on a bad run, I can get motivated at the prospect of us competing with them at home, I've never been enthused by games where we play the Old Firm away. The worst part of playing Celtic is that when their first XI have steamrollered you, after 60 minutes they are bringing on 3 or 4 players of just about equal quality. The five sub rule has made the prospect of games like this even worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Because Anges recruitment has been so good we have benefited the most from this and can afford to keep our larger squad more match fit should we get injuries by being able to make changes with less risk. I have no idea why on other teams voted to keep it, I think alot of them just took feedback from their coach at the time which was short sited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely any vote in the SPFL to have kept it to 3 would have been temporary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but I think to keep the 5 subs had to go to a vote in most competitions but yeah it seems to be the norm now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapowzer Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Not sure if I'll even watch this on a dodgy feed. If I do I'll put something in front of the telly to obscure the view to make it realistic. Wonder how many pocket of green seats we will see from the self styled world's greatest fans, I suppose it will be roughly the percentage who buy their season ticket for those 2 home matches per season and those who are gradually switched off by precession masquerading as a sporting event. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I'm going have a coffee then go outside ahd build a pool then maybe catch some poison ivy/get bitten by a snake. If I survive that I'll go on a donut run then might check the score when I get home. These games mean f**k all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I'll be in the pub all day. Might check the score at some point on Sunday when the power of sight returns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
