Problem is we don't have anyone to play with Toy who can put in a shift with Kiltie and McMenimen out. Maybe Scott. Or maybe Sutherland! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Scott. Or maybe Sutherland! I'd expect us to go similar to what we did with Brann. After all, they have been the best team imo that I've seen pass the ball about against us (the home leg at least) and as Celtic are of similar quality I can see us sticking to a similar game plan. Toyosi and possibly Ayunga/Mandron up top. Phillips may step in straight away if we dont have the numbers available in midfield from our bad run of injuries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tam the bud Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Sadly can only see a normal routine win for Celtic. Also think we will have a smaller home support than recent games against Celtic. Poor weather, game on telly with shite k/o time and with a walk up price of £35, i don't think many non season ticket holders will pay that. As the club tend to count all season ticket holders, a crowd of around 5700 will be given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have around 1500 non season tickets holders who turned up at most home games and are now expected to pay £35 for this game. Just don't see it happening. Hope i am wrong on both accounts.

Sometimes feels like clubs don’t realise that Sunday lunchtime matches with the probability of comfortable defeat aren’t really that much fun. Add in the content from the away support and it really isn’t an exciting prospect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd all prefer the home stands to be full of Saints fans with cheap/free tickets but all the factors you've mentioned make it a tough sell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The facts are the green pound and the Sky dosh are already paid for,the clubs have their piece of pie. It's just the football to take care of,the inability to separate the two from the diddies on here is their biggest problem. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that playing either half of the cheeks is no longer a big deal. The days of folk forking out £35 to watch their team sit in and try for a point, or take an absolute tanking are gone. It’s never going to be a level playing field in terms of resources so you can’t expect fans to turn up in big numbers when there is practically zero chance of achieving a result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't try to equate St Mirren fans and Celtic fans, they're not remotely comparable. St Mirren fans don't sing songs glamourising terrorists who killed hundreds of innocent people in my lifetime. There's a fundamental difference between them. I can see you don't understand how decent people wouldn't want to listen to 90 minutes of hate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking, Celtic fans are bad people and don't care. That's why many decent people choose not to be in a football ground with thousands of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
