The guy is clearly Motherwell daft and cares passionately about the club. Give him a break ffs!

“They’re Glasgow Celtic, they’ll do what they want”. And anyone who doesn’t let them do what they want…woe betide them.

Which is why I’m surprised it wasn’t given, it was a clear push which caused the handball. HT 0-1. Not the worst performance by any means and Miller was desperately unlucky not to score with his free kick especially as the goalkeeper was beaten all ends up. But in these games you need those to go in for you and when they don’t then it’s never going to end well. We’ve been chasing shadows since the goal and are very fortunate that it’s only 1-0 so far. It’s a question of how many Celtic will score now.

Should be 0-2. That was a penalty.

Game over.

David Dickinson is the referee today with Alan Muir on VAR. I don't believe any match official is deliberately biased but you do get some who are very easily swayed by St.Brendan putting his hand up at every 50/50 challenge and Callum McGregor getting in their face trying to referee the game for him. I don't envy the match officials in games involving Celtic to be honest as they know that if they give decisions that don't suit Celtic then they will be scrutinised and harassed for weeks on end. So I don't think it's a case of requiring an impartial referee it's more a case of requiring a strong one.

As has already been said, one of two scenarios are more likely than not to happen today and they both begin with an S. 1) Sickened As we were on both occasions we played Celtic at home last season in that we hang in there and lose late on. or; 2) Skullfucked A defeat by four or more goals which if we concede inside the first ten minutes is a distinct possibility. Either way it won’t be pleasant viewing. I’m going for the second scenario and a 0-5 defeat.

It would have been their first domestic defeat in 18 months, or pretty close to that. McGregor’s swan dive after a nothing challenge from Andy Rose got them the penalty which Scott Sinclair (who had dived to get the penalty in the League Cup Final and got Kipre sent off) scored from. Rodgers got on his high horse about Burrows showing footage of the penalty award on his laptop and went into full condescending mode.

Rodgers, Celtic and their fans were absolutely insufferable during that trilogy in late 2017. Two soft penalties and they couldn’t bring themselves to admit they got lucky with them and the smugness and self satisfaction was off the scale. It won’t happen on Sunday but it would be fucking magic if we finally got a win against them and send their hoardes home angry and have that blobfished face false prick of a manager shaking his head in disappointment during his post match sermon.

Celtic are in a different league to every other clubs supports when it comes to vandalising the South Stand. Add to that the standing in the the aisles in their thousands which would clearly suggest doubling up at the turnstiles and the usual pyro/invading the park and it’s a horrible atmosphere.

One of those two scenarios is almost certainly what will happen on Sunday. No doubt accompanied with the usual damage to the South Stand by the self righteous “social justice warriors” in the away support. I can see it far enough already. 🙄

That was dreadful.

Watt & Moses on

Best not to give them the satisfaction by responding to nonsense like that.

And he’s injured yet again by the looks of it. Another one to add to the never ending list.

Dreadful stuff and deservedly behind. No excuses for the defending for that goal. Just so so sloppy. Halliday and Robinson are both a waste of a jersey. Its going to be tough to get back into this.

It was a scrappy game as you would expect but thankfully we edged it in the end. Moses needs to be a starter.

Had a few too many Angry Admin? What exactly are you taking issue with? All I was doing was stating a fact, that the management team have signed new contracts. It is also a fact that the club failed to make it public the last time they extended their deals. So what’s the problem?

Great result

Certainly does seem premature, possibly even knee-jerk on the back of two wins but whatever it is I can’t understand why this has happened right now. Kettlewell has a lot to prove and the bar has been raised even higher with this extension in my opinion.

No one can blame Spittal for going for the money. At 29 this was probably his last chance at a big move so it was a no brainier for him. But you just feel that playing wise we got the best out of him in his two years there, similar to KvV and at a club like Hearts (and the same would go for Aberdeen and Hibs) where the demands are far higher than they are here he may struggle to be a main player like he was with us.

Kettlewell and Frail have signed new contracts. Nice of the club to tell us this time.

Draw written all over this one. 1-1

No. But as far as I can see, and maybe I am wrong, the Union Bears aren’t political in the same way the Green Brigade are. I heard about the drum incident with St.Johnstone fans and Rangers as a club acted swiftly and banned the individuals identified as being involved, and good on them for doing so. Would Celtic have done the same had it been a GB member? I highly doubt it and there would be protests, walk-outs and a lot of noise made by the GB if they had. See some similarities there too? This topic has run its course now as far as I’m concerned so the final thing for me to say is that I hate the Green Brigade and I’m not a fan of the Well Bois. MJC - over and out.

The Green Brigade are way, way out in front of the Union Bears in every level, just like their club is way out in front of Rangers in that regard too. The GB are far bigger, far more dangerous and have a lot more clout than the UB could ever hope to have. They have powerful people with big voices and a lot of influence at various levels of sport and politics on their side and in their ranks. So even though the Union Bears might display similar behaviours, they don’t have the same leverage with police and authorities. Even Celtic as a club can’t control the Green Brigade.
