grizzlyg Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Great seeing young miller getting game time and mckinstry showed a lot of good touches. Ok only one from open play but hey it's 4-0 and most enjoyable 90mins I have experienced in a while, gutted about draw though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Bloody awful draw! We’ve played Celtic 18 times in LC and only won 3 times. Only ever KOd them once and that was way back in 1950 in 1/4 final over 2 legs. We lost 1-0 at home and won 4-1 away. We went onto win it that year.

steelboy Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 That was good entertainment, we passed the ball well with Slattery and Goss linking up nicely. We were still lacking some cohesion and quality in the final third but hopefully Stevie can find the right combination to play beside Van Veen. Penney strolled it against limited opposition and gave us some width on the left we have been badly lacking this season. Miller and McKinstry both looked good tonight. Composed on the ball and good athletes. Celtic in a midweek quarter final at Fir Park should be a cracking atmosphere at least. It's a tough draw but better than being away to the Old Firm or away to Kilie or Aberdeen. Celtic have midweek games 6 weeks in a row from the start of October with 4 in the Champions League and two at Fir Park so they might rest some players and have a few injuries.

mfc Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Really professional job by us tonight,that was as comfortable as game as it gets.pity about the draw,no doubt the game will be on tele with a decent crowd so we should make a few quid if nothing else but we're at home if we have any chance of beating them that's where it will happen.

Big Stall Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 For a few different reasons that was my first game since Sligo at home qnd wow, what a turnaround. Forget the scoreline, it was great to see us going forward with intent, attacking, making things happen and even when not in possession, really pushing up on ICT. Our players actually look like they know what they are doing and it was enjoyable to watch. It must be enjoyable for them as well without us all shouting at them. The shape went to pot with all the subs but the game was done by then. Could we have won that under GA? Possibly, but it certainly wouldnt have been pretty or even comfortable. We would have sat back a bit and made ICT look good. Tonight, we never gave them that chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only gripe (again) is that only one of our 4 goals came from open play and if Van Veen doesn’t score we’re shafted. This is an absolutely terrible comment...Did you actually go to the game?.. We created lots of chances, lots of one touch football and free flowing stuff all over the park...ball was pinged about on the deck all over the place. Efford probably had his best game for us on the right. Tierney was unplayable and Goss was spraying great passes all over the park. Defence were outstanding when called upon and mopped everything up. Even under pressure they didn't punt it up the park and played the ball on the deck out of bother. I have no problems about where the goals come from as the players were breaking their neck to get in about the goals and were just unlucky not to score. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Means no pressure going into the game, no one expects us to win. I would love to beat them, don't shout at me but I actually don't mind Ange, comes across as a decent guy. However an element of that support just disgust me with their antics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four players made their debut, Tierney and Efford contributed, all good stuff... I would go as far to say both had their best game for the club tonight. Tierney was a delight to watch always going forward and his passes were superb. Unlucky not to score near the end. Efford put in a shift on the right and his crosses into the box were all good. He was very effective in that role. Goss was as comfortable as I have seen him and bossed the midfield along with Slattery who was breaking up play and at one point rode three challenges in midfield coming away with the ball. Penney on left was comfortable as well and had a great run in 2nd half with a great pass that deserved a decent effort on goal. Aarons also just needed to sneeze on the ball from a ball played across the face of goal from Van Veen to get a goal with his first touch. Young Lennon Miller did not look out of place in the central midfield role when he came on and he is still only 16..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed just back in thought we were brilliant tonight, it was 4 but in reality should have been at least 6 as ICT offered feck all. Some of our play was a delight to watch, and no hoofing the ball up the park at every opportunity was a welcome bonus,every player looked up for it from the 1st whistle, so all in a very good result. And then we get a boot in the baws with the QF draw, 2 teams to avoid and anyone of the other 5 would have been a good draw and we get Celtic FFS, honestly if it wasn't for bad luck in cup draws we'd have none.
