PauloPerth Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Celtic on a poor run and on the back of a European trip, but I’ve lost count of the number of times that’s been the case over the years thinking we have a chance before Celtic absolutely stroll it. We will lose this 75-25 % possession to Brendan’s Ball Retainers, but will there be goals? St Johnstone plagued by injuries to key players. Clark out, Considine a doubt and Carey who knows? as the manager didn’t have a clue in his press conference. I’d fancy us if we had everyone fit. Our midfield will be competitive but we looked powder puff in attack at tynecastle last week. Drew 0-0 at Celtic earlier in the season with a brand new team full of kids. Would probably settle for a similar result here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Any idea why we don’t offer a PPV option for this game? Surely a chance to make a bit of money? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume they probably can't due to it being live on Sky. That certainly was one of the rules previously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyellowbox Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Here goes one of the most unappealing games of the season. Prediction of stupidly long delays for VAR, Saints giving away an easy goal and Celtic fans doing Celtic fans things while Police Scotland keeping their hands warm in their pockets. I think Levein will go for the back 5 again, but feel he'll try the May/Kane combo again. If we are to get anything, it will need to be a solid defensive display and something from a set play. If possible, Carey playing would unlock a few chances, but only if he is in the right place mentally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Celtic aren’t at their best, St Johnstone improving defensively but hopeless in front of goal… Everything points towards a low-scoring match. Likely scenario is probably a 1-0 or 2-0 Celtic win, but a 0-0 is certainly feasible as well. Or we might get pumped or we might beat Celtic. Those are my betting tips for the day. Use them as you wish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamora Fan Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Bringing out the 4-6-0 for his first game on the telly. Levein is so committed to winding people up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsjfc Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Assume DJ or/and Costelloe will play upfront though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Offfft. That is a wild starting line up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muirton Saint Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Kane on the bench so last minute knock I'm guessing, and I'm also guessing the gameplan is for nobody to score at either end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 Yep a 4-6-0 wind up is exactly what I thought when I saw it. Costelloe and a Robinson wing backs with Brown/Gordon/McGowan centre backs and Carey off DJ?? Obviously looking to have a bit of pace on the counter as we used to try with O’Halloran against Celtic a lot. Think it worked once in 3 years. Can’t say that our strikers from last week can have too many complaints at being dropped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Personally, with Considine out, I would have much preferred Gallacher as LWB with Robinson on the left of the central three. This would have at least eliminated the possibility of Brown AND Costelloe in the same defence… Terrifying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Fucking 12pm kick off,, I am rough as f**k, temperature is -1 and we’re starting without a striker. Great stuff. Love this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Mitov Brown - McGowan - Gordon - Robinson - Carey Smith - Phillips - Max Jaiyesimi - Costelloe Was how i read the line up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentino Bolognese Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 This is 5d chess stuff. Shape could be anything. Im thinking it's a 4-3-3 with Dan in front iof the 4, Carey on the left and Costello on the right of DJ. Or maybe Dara in the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I think Costelloe will be through the middle. The few times he’s looked competent has been as a striker, so maybe he’ll do something today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Great to see my fellow saints are treating this match up with the contempt it deserves and not bothering their arse going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Get up at stupid o’ clock for an away game in Perth, in freezing conditions. Probably £30 a pop, plus travel and food costs, for a game you could watch on the telly - and here’s your view of the game. Old Firm fans are some bois. Or bhoys. Or daft bigot kunts. Whatever fits.
