They’re that good they’re even scoring goals for us now. Hope that prick Boyd is raging.

I wouldn’t say it’s one of Celtic’s best ever sides. Their teams under Martin O’Neill with the likes of Larsson, Sutton, Petrov were better than this current side. However I don’t think the gap in quality between Celtic and sides like us has ever been bigger, even back in the O’Neill days. What makes this Celtic side so strong is their workrate, athleticism and intensity. When you have all of that along with the best players in the league then you will make short shrift of most sides nine times out of ten.

Maguire is as good as a man down most weeks so starting him today was baffling.

The first Hearts goal against us the other week? No I posted a good few times on that match thread at half time and full time that day. A match that I was at, supporting the team and despite the result I applauded their efforts at the end. Whereas you of course were sitting on the other side of the Atlantic alternating between watching the game on a dodgy stream and making snide remarks on here as you usually do. Pipe down.

That’s that.

Parkhead is one of the few grounds in Scotland I have never been to and have absolutely no intention of ever going to. The reasons given above are mainly my reasons for avoiding it too, plus the fact that we are almost guaranteed a drubbing on the park means it a trip to avoid. It’s bad enough having them at Fir Park with 4-6k of their fans without travelling to Glasgow, pay over the odds to sit in a corner surrounded by 60k of their odious, sanctimonious scumbag followers.

The problem is that they are more often than not at least three or four goals up by the time they drop their tempo. They are absolutely ferocious in attack and the pace they play at is phenomenal.

The team you support losing 10-0 would be hilarious because of the ‘meltdown’ of an anonymous Internet forum member? Each to their own but that’s pretty sad.

If anything them losing to St.Mirren will make it even more impossible for us to get anything here other than an absolute hammering. 10(ten)-0 home win.

Where and when did I say that I’d rather play like Robinson’s St.Mirren? Show me where I said that. I know you won’t, because you can’t, because I didn’t say that or anything like that. I watched Robinson’s Motherwell for three and a half years with many of the players he has at St.Mirren now and we never got close to a result like Saints got today in that time. And I’ve watched us under two different managers lose our last twelve (at least) straight games against Celtic and haven’t recorded a victory over them since 2015. More often than not we are beaten before a ball is kicked in these games.

We’d be 2-0 down within the first 15 minutes. Aside from the obvious gulf in quality, there has been a serious issue with bottle in games against them and Rangers over the past few years, especially more so at Fir Park.

Sickening tbh, we never get results like that these days.

This match rescheduled for Tuesday 4th October.

Possibly, but I’ll be surprised if next Sunday v. Hearts goes ahead.

Talk is that the Queen’s funeral will be held on Monday 19th Sept. So therefore it’s almost a certainty that next week v Hearts will be off too.

Almost definitely. Possibly even next weekends games too, depending on when the funeral is held.

Well, it’s now been confirmed that the Queen has passed away. I’m not getting into any pro or anti debate as this thread is not the time or place for it. However from a purely footballing perspective, I would expect Saturday’s game to be off, indeed it almost certainly will be.

Confirmed.

Always more confident of a result facing them up there than at home and this one is no different. 2-0 to us.

QF against Celtic confirmed for Wednesday 19th with a 6.15pm kick off.

Is that just for league games? I remember Foran scoring penalties against Celtic in a 3-2 loss, Hearts at Tynecastle and then in the LC Semi at Easter Road. He also missed one at Tynecastle late in the season. McBride scored from the spot against Hearts and Rangers in the league but can’t remember any more. edit: McBride scored a penalty against Morton at Cappielow in the League Cup.

In 2004/05 we had several penalties scored by Richie Foran and a few by Kevin McBride. Don’t know the exact number though but it certainly seemed like a lot.

And Lee McCulloch and John Spencer too. Both ‘darlings’ of the support at the time but both missed more than they scored.

He always looked like a capable striker……when he played against us for Partick Thistle.

You must have forgotten about John Hendry, David Clarkson and Alex Burns then.
