Big Stall

Brutal second half, why did we decide to play Sutton up front on his todd for most of it? Essentially invited ICT onto us over and over. Most worrying was the players themselves, Vigurs and McManus squaring up to each other, Lasley going nuts, Hutchy giving everyone a bollocking, McManus and McCall having words. Did the players even celebrate the full time whistle? Thought it all seemed a bit muted, even in the lap after the game. However, a win was required and delivered, 2nd is still on, bring on Aberdeen!

Why do you not want us to win??

Did your mates witness it or did they read about it on the internet? If they only read about it, i wouldnt be too worried. My Rangers workmate told me Hutchie was a big Rangers fan. He knew this because he read it on Rangers media. Sorry mate, i think you'll find he's Newcastle through and through.

I cant see hutch going to Hibs in the first division. The govan mob maybe but not hibs. I expect him to go down south

Kerr starting? Hmmm However, we certainly have options on the bench, Faddy, Ainsworth, Moore.......

The big difference is Leitch makes the forward runs and isnt scared to have a pop. Carswells been good this season, better than i expected but Leitch (it would seem) offers more of an attacking threat

Forgot to add. Mccall pointed out three teams have taken 3goals off celtic this season.... Barcelona, milan and the 'well!!

Leitch

Fucking brilliant. Young Leitch had a great game and everyone else played their part. Well done gunnar with that pen save. If we are going to pick flaws, then McCall should have made those subs with 15mins to go. Two fast direct players when Celtic were playing with 4strikers. Instead we wait till we were down. Once he makes the subs, ainsworth makes the equaliser. Anyway, only a small moan, i'll gladly take the point. If St J can get three points against United it will be a really good day.

Could really be doing with a win on Sat coupled with Celtic beating Utd, letting us have a 9 point gap pre-split. The first couple of fixtures could really see Utd catch us fast. Even if they do, we then get our home games against St J and ICT so not the end of the world.

Mccall said Reid played a good chunk of the game with a broken toe. Dont worry about it, Steelboy says he's pish anyway.

Gave it a good few mins. Said a thing of beauty that neutrals would enjoy. Like playing five a sides or a training game with your mates the number of 1-2s we had. Good to hear, looking forward to seeing it. Sutton starting it off then numerous 1-2s between vigours and moore, then vigours curling a shot with outside of the boot

Yaaas vigours! Also, try not to get too carried away with the goal rob mclean

Bbc scotland saying gunnar very slow in getting down to try to meet the shot. Fucksake!

I thought (maybe wrong) that Faddys wages comes from a few directors and not the clubs wage budget? If true, and if the directors were prepared to continue funding Faddy, why wouldn't we have him???

If we get to europe, and if we get to the playoff round and if we were drawn against Man U, i would still like to see us play them at the ark. Its our home, its plenty big enough for our fan base including regulars, odd game attendees and most of the day out crowd. Would expect those who regularly attend will know enough ST holders to guarantee them a ticket. If someones gran/ 2nd cousin/ dug couldn't source a ticket, i wouldnt be too concerned. Everyone had a ticket for Nancy with some to spare. Yes there will be greater demand for Man U as 'well fans + Man U and neutrals would look for tickets, but as long as the club looked after sales sensibly to ensure they went to 'well fans, i'm sure we would be fine

Do the big teams automatically get into the Europa group stages the way they do with the Champs league or do they still have to play the last qualifying round? I wonder what the nay sayers would make of Europe if we were suddenly drawn to play Arsenal or Man United........

Ok, more solid in that we can grind out wins despite shipping goals.

Certainly we have been more solid than last seasons team, but we are nowhere near the fluid dynamic attacking force we turned into for the last few months of last season

I did have a chuckle at it yesterday after the game. Richard Gordon said.... "Jack gives Aberdeen victory and Motherwell hold on for a win." Both technically true but the way its reported just shows what they all think.

My rangers supporting mate who has a reasonable brain was saying the other night that there are avenues for them to pursue playing in Europe should they win the cup. I couldnt be bothered engaging him in it but wouldnt be surprised if they have a plan moving forward

I'd put Zaine in goals before Gunnar!

A fucking disaster!!

We'v been in Europe what 5 times in the last 6 years? In those years a few other clubs have managed to draw a glamour tie, Hearts having EPL opposition. The way I figure it is, if we keep getting in the pot, one of these days we will hit the jackpot. Either in terms of a glamour tie or sneaking through to the groups......

It didnt take long for the "hollis is fuckin pish" posts did it......
