  1. Probably go back to watching my wee team in the Juniors (Larkhall Thistle). I couldn't in all honesty follow another senior team. Cant we just change our name to Sevco 2015 and everything will be hunky dory??
  2. You've hit the nail right on the head with that post.
  3. Was it a gamble though or was it because certain players are playing at 60/70% fitness levels and two games in 4 days proved too much for them. How can a team perform like they did against Celtic then give two performances like that. Confidence should have been high after taking 4 points from two games.
  4. Why? McCall has already said that he is going so that he can have a look at him, if he doesn't measure up to his standards then he aint goin to sign him. He might have shown enough in training for McCall to want to have a closer look ,thats all. Alan Stubbs said that he had over 100 agents on the phone to him offering players within 1 day of being appointed so I would like to think that after hanging up on him one of the next people they phoned was McCall offering him the same players. He's made one mistake since becoming our manager (Daley) and one other that might turn out to be a mistake (Lawson) so I think he's done enough over the course to prove he knows a player that would fit into our squad when he sees one. People gettin their knickers in a twist over nothing.
  5. two arguments going on here. Is football over priced in general YES Is 25 quid too expensive to watch your team in Europe NO Lets not get them mixed up
  6. Agree, my idea of analysis is not "talk us through the goal then", "Well he picked the ball up in his own half, played it out wide and met the cross and put it into the net" . People are actually getting paid big bucks for that kind of drivel ( that's when they actually describe it as eloquently as that) At least Match Of The Day gives their viewers some credit that they can actually understand basic tactics I suppose.
  7. 87 of us there tonight. Fuckin mental of the SFA to schedule it for a Tuesday night, We would have probably taken about 3-400 with us on a Saturday. Still 3 points so was worth the trip even although I probably won't get back home till 1am.
  8. Just back as well and just when I thought we couldn't be any shiter after Friday we go and take shite to a whole new level tonight. I hope to fuck our injury situation is worse than is being stated because at least we would have a good excuse for the performances in the last two games. Our midfield is non existent at the moment so the defence is getting no protection and the attack is getting no support. Add to that Hutchy having a confidence problem and a Goalie who is good for a goal a game then we are struggling badly. I actually feel as bad tonight as I did after the Albion Rovers game and that's saying something.
  9. Maybe slightly off topic but with some of the papers describing the pitch on Saturday as a mud bath, quagmire etc etc , I couldn't help laughing when I saw this picture of Dens Park circa 1936 in a P&B thread on what old grounds looked like before being redeveloped.
  10. Thanks for that Eddie, if you could ask him to contact John McCaskie of our Disabled Supporters Association (via the club) he would welcome the opportunity to have a chat with him directly. His counterpart at Motherwell knows about the situation and I think he has been in discussions with him as well.Hopefully between them something can be done about it.
  11. Yes we did and to be fair to them they always sympathise with us but point out that they have to do what they're told by Celtic That was the son of a good friend of mine and he's never gone back since because of that. Posted what happened on P&B and got nothing but abuse from Celtic fans who accused us of making it up.
  12. Thanks for all your support and comments guys and just to answer a few of your questions. We are members of the Scottish DSA and they are well aware of the issues at Celtic Park and are trying to find a resolution. Disabled fans generally pay a reduced rate at games, normally between £10-£15 for a wheelchair user and their carer, Celtic in fact charge £10. This is because you are generally stuck down the front or behind the goals (eg St Mirren/Kilmarnock )so have no choice over where you can watch the game, Some parks like Tynecastle offer a great view because you are elevated. Ambulant disabled fans generally get a reduced rate if you sit in designated areas (normally at the front of a stand) or are charged the full rate if they choose to sit where they want. Most disabled fans (including wheelchairs)would be happy to pay the going rate if they had a good view of the pitch.Just because you're disabled it doesn't mean you're looking to be treated differently after all. Having stewards blocking your view is not unique to Celtic Park although it is probably the worst example in Scottish football and hopefully we can embarrass them into doing something about it via social media.
  13. Keep saying I'm never going back to Celtic Park because its even more crap if you're with someone who uses a wheelchair. The view was never the best but the Stewards really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome on Saturday.

    Still remember the 2nd replay, I was at the back of the terracing and when Peter Marinello scored I ended up at the very front minus both trainers and my jeans. Went home with a plastic bag wrapped round my waist and still don't know how it happened to this day.
  15. I reckon that if we do pump Hearts by a few goals MJC should do some form of forfeit like streak naked across the park or do a karaoke number over the PA system at the next home game.
  16. I used to think it was all down to pricing but have started to think its not just that. Started going to watch the ice hockey at Braehead Clan where ticket prices are £18/£16/£14 so not that cheap yet they just posted their highest ever attendance last week. It's certainly entertaining with all the music etc but no more than the footie IMO so why are their attendances going up? Think it's because they're not competing with any other teams in the area and are attracting fans from all over the West of Scotland unlike football where it is dominated by the Old Firm.
  17. 2nd !!! Back to familiar territory hopefully no more silly season on McCall
  18. Definitely yes, if just to save us a fortune in replacing broken seats.
  19. Absolutely spot on!!! Adams sounding as if it was the Alamo or something instead of some half chances and comfortable saves. Oh and the ref had already blown for the foul before McLean got his head to it
  20. Interestingly enough was listening to the Radio Clyde phone in tonight (yes I know I'm a sad bastard). Hugh Keevins saying in response to a text that nothing was said in the media about Motherwell fans wrecking NDP that he did not witness any broken seats at the game???? Maybe he couldn't see them for all the smoke.
  21. I've been asked to let everyone know that the Disabled Supporters Association are having a bucket collection on Friday night at the Celtic game. You've probably noticed all the improvements that have been made since the close season with shelters being built for both the home and away supporters. These have all but drained our funds and we are trying to raise more for the next round of improvements and are asking for your support. Any funds raised will be greatly appreciated and go towards improving facilities for disabled fans and hopefully improve the general look of Fir Park.
  22. What I'm looking for is a PERFORMANCE not even bothering about the result, so that the players can prove to the fans (and more importantly to themselves) that Saturday was nothing more than a blip and that we're not on an even slippier slope than we think. If we see another lacklustre performance then I will be extremely worried.
  23. Calf injury apparently and didn't want to risk him on the artificial pitch
  24. Brilliant!! Why not march over to Douglas Park with all the flags an banners in full flow as well
  25. Clyde FM were saying the crowd was 3714. Didn't look as much as that to me tbh.
