I was referring to Robinson’s record against Celtic. But yes that SF against Rangers was a superb result, though it was also the last time we got such a big win and we’re almost five years to the day since then. I don’t see us getting anything like that against either of them any time soon, if ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more energy, drive and aggression in midfield to nip at heels, get in faces and feed the offensive players If he’s seen as a number ‘6’ type, they’re choosing to go with 2 in Slattery & Goss which has served well. Has a strength in going beyond the forward line (which van Veen requires) and engine to match so why not offer him the opportunity? There’s more than a few on the Tierney hype train. Yes, he finds pockets of space, but, as the number ‘10’ type he never goes beyond which should have been developed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Morris did the defensive side of the things as well as anyone against Rangers. It’s the keeping the ball, creating things and getting crosses into the box he doesn’t really do.

grizzlyg Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 I wasn't going to go but changed my mind and forked out £22 today for a ticket, I must be bonkers but would be raging if I missed out on a famous win, I honestly can't see it happening but you never know, COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you could argue that if we were to go through that’s the favourites out. I’ve no doubt we would have won one of the cups if we’d not played Celtic in both finals.

It will be the same old same old. Thankfully my arse is parked in warmer climes for this one and I can switch off when the game follows the normal course of events for an OF game. I used to laugh and day I'll go to my grave and never see us beat Rangers and Celtic and ever again. Sadly with the record we have built up that statement ain't so funny anymore.

MJC Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I genuinely don’t think we’ll ever beat either of them again, sad as that sounds. As for tonight although a hammering is the most likely outcome, I can’t shake the feeling that it’s going to be an absolute sickening heartbreaker. I think I’d actually prefer to see us get pumped 5-0 than run them close and lose a close game or on penalties, it would certainly be easier to stomach.

ZT_1886 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 The last time I recall us coming even close to beating them was the 1-1 draw shortly after the LC final, toxic atmosphere and something to prove after the final, of course another game ruined by a dubious refereeing decision.

That bulgy eyed prick Callum McGregor with a swan dive for the penalty. We drew 1-1 with them a year later, Danny Johnson late equaliser on a foggy midweek game. That was the last time we didn’t lose to them. Team just been announced and Spittal & Shields start with Morris and Tierney dropping to the bench. Still no Moult even among the subs.

GazzyB Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Would have preferred Cornelius in the middle and Spittal out wide as opposed to Shields playing. Gives us some pace I guess but hasn’t a clue how to use it effectively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Relieved Lamie fit and happy seeing Spittal in for Morris. Shields doesn't inspire me but hope he can prove me wrong, wee last minute winner Connor would be nice...COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Celtic arriving late for the game, hopefully that disrupts there prep in some way. Hard to get too excited knowing who our opposition is for this game but it would be tremendous to knock them out the cup and head along to Hampden.
