'Wellfan 2k7 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 We'll Get humped. Apologes for my pesimism but we will. Last time we won at Parkhead was 1-0 against a weaker Celtic squad than what they have and with the strongest team we've ever had since I could remember. 4-1 Celtic. #CraiganOG to make a return aswell as Murphy having a stinker and higdon scoring a late, fluke, consolation goal.. Just the way I can see it panning out. Either that, or We'll win by one or draw in an exciting 0-0 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakes Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 So your prediction is that we'll either win, lose or draw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Wellfan 2k7 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 No... We'll either scrape it, nearly beat them and not concede OR they'll rip us to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 So your prediction is that we'll either win, lose or draw? i like those odds. and the celtic team we beat in 2008 won the league, beat milan and made it to the last 16 of the champions league where they led twice against barca. definitely better than the current jokers.

Not to mention we had 10 men for alot of the game (was 0-0 at the time if my memory is not playing tricks).... As for the game, 2-1 us! Higdon and Law.

Wellfan1984 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 ok, you are correct - although it was 33 minutes for the goal and 51 minutes for the sending off. Still as Steelboy says, that side is a lot better than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Given the fact the Celtic stewards are killjoys bastards, is it maybe wise for the singing lads and perhaps even MFC to contact Celtic beforehand, let them know about the drum and the atmosphere at the last few away games? Surely the club will help where possible, especially given McCall drawing attention to how good the drum is. Would be a real kick in the baws for it to be confiscated and 'lost' by some jobsworth.

Bop Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 We'v actually been in contact with every away team so far this season with every one of them being really good. Heres hoping for something similar from Celtic but I cant see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 No... We'll either scrape it, nearly beat them and not concede OR they'll rip us to pieces. so its still a Motherwell win, a 0-0 draw or a Celtic victory prediction from you then you dont leave much to chance do you.

Surely the club will help where possible, especially given McCall drawing attention to how good the drum is. Would be a real kick in the baws for it to be confiscated and 'lost' by some jobsworth. To be fair Motherwell have been really good and brought up at the pre-op's meetings so far this season that we will be bringing a drum, flags etc. and most clubs have been OK with it. Lets hope Celtic are much the same but it's more the stewards inside the ground who will prove to be the problem. As someone mentioned before a lot of the guys boycott Celtic Park due to people being thrown out and arrested for next to nothing in the past so I think some of the singers will be waiting to hear the results from the pre-op's meeting before making a decision about going. If only we were foreign and could take numbers like this to Celtic Park: The yellow coats didnt ask them to sit down or refuse their banners for whatever reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzer Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Why should we change anything, keep it the same, we are second in the SPL, let them adapt to us. Confidence will get us through this one, and if it doesnt ah well Next! Looking at the teams this season thus far, i have not seen any team which will dominate for 90 Mins, Motherwell great shout for top 3 spot!

Yabba's Turd Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Why should we change anything, because Celtic are a better team than us, we have to stop them first especially at Parkhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzer Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 There were also a better team in there last home match and they lost! Play as we are, if we try and defend we will defo lose, attack them and the jitters will take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Defending against them isn't really an option. The only question such tactics raise is how long it'll take them to score. I'd rather we played our usualy game, which of course means keeping it tight at the back as well, but our strength lies in our attack and midfield this season, which works perfectly as their defence is terrible. We should play our usual game and try to take something from the match. If we lose, then at least we gave it a bash. Points against the Old Firm, especially on their own patch, are always a bonus rather than to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisley Steelman Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Changing the way you play always ends badly because it isn't your normal style. Just like when clubs try to play differently for European ties. Best thing is fly at them straight from the kick off. It worked a treat back in Feb. They couldn't settle and wee did pump them that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well 4 Europe Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 There were also a better team in there last home match and they lost! Play as we are, if we try and defend we will defo lose, attack them and the jitters will take over. Or on a big open pitch like Celtic Park we will get torn to shreds on the counter attack.

weeyin Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Parkhead 115 x 75yrds Fir Park 110 x 75yrds Al B must have googled it and got Parhead dimensions in metres which puts it at 105 x 68m Apparently we lost a few yards at Fir Park with all the work that was done on the pitch last year (at least that is what one of the commentators said). Of course, ultimately, it also depends on where you paint the lines. I remember Souness bringing them in a few yards at Ibrox when Rangers played a Euro tie against a team with good wingers.
