Lindau Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) The last of our power trio of consecutive matches against the top 3. Can't say I am expecting that much. We have had a brutal run of games while Celtic have been able to put their feet up and relax. Think there will be a few with knocks and a few heavy legs out there, however if we can tidy up the defending a bit, a repeat of Tuesday might give us a chance of grabbing something. This is a game we are not expected to win, so why not give German a run out, with the instructions to run himself into the ground and then bring Dools and or Poggers on later on. Would like to see the guy get a chance, just to see if he has anything to offer. Edited March 10, 2016 by Lindau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_mac Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Would like to see us give ourselves a real chance in this one and go 2 up front. As you say we have nothing to lose and nothing is expected of us. Yes, a heavy defeat would be horrible but I honestly don't think Celtic are capable of doing that to anyone at the moment. We'll probably never have a better chance to beat them than we've had this season, and this could be our last shot at them, so I'd happily accept a defeat as long as we have a go at least. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan1963 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 If big Pogba has anything left in the tank I'd like to see him start - he caused Celtic some problems in the last game at Firhill. A front 2 of him him and Dools could cause them problems with Pogbas presence and Dools finesse. We really should have taken something from the New Year game so lets hope we can get something out of this before our games against the teames below us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Dastardly Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Is Boyata suspended for them ? I'm expecting Dools to start this one as I'm sure that is why he was rested on Tuesday. Also Miller to return at rightback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my most despised cliches; it gets trotted out regularly, and is basically meaningless. But agreed: let's have a real go, but I will not happily accept defeat, ever, against them or their brothers in crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyo Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 This is the most confident I've been going into a Celtic game for many years. So, 7-0 to Celtic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Anyone that's attended four of our last five games, provided they've got an aversion to watching football in Lanarkshire, shouldn't be too surprised if we get a result on Saturday. Odds against, definitely, but a Jags win wouldn't register that much of a shock. My own opinion is we'll just come up short once again. However, again forgetting Fir Pk, the four goals we've shipped in the four games we've played well in have all been rather avoidable and all been kinda similar. Tighten up on defending those cross balls then who knows? Edited March 10, 2016 by lady-isobel-barnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Rubble Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) One of my most depised cliches. What goal was not avoidable ? The two against Aberdeen most certainly were. Poor header from Dan for the first, but poor reaction from the defenders in the back post area thereafter allowing Considine not his first easy goal at Firhill in the last couple of years. For the second - corner eminently avoidable in the first place (Liam), followed by Dools losing his man on the cross. It does beg the question of why our striker is marking the opposition's striker on a dead ball, but I'll assume that Archie's instructions were being followed.

JAG1970 Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I see the main stand is sold out. With JHS season ticket holders able to choose either the MS or NS to sit in, and it seems no need to obtain a paper ticket in advance, how does the club know how many tickets to sell in each the MS and NS? If there are 4500 seats between the two stands and say we have 1500 ST holders then they can sell 3000 tickets but how do they allocate them? Just curious. Of greater interest of course is gaining some points... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late to ask now and I too will have to find out on the day. They certainly have not made things clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume that the number of seats in the Main Stand exceeds the number of ST holders in the JHS and the Club has sold the difference. If that's the case PATG punters without a Main Stand ticket will have to go to the North Stand even tho' it's highly unlikely ST holders will take up the full allocation. Clear as mud.

And if JHS ST holders go to the NS in numbers then there will be unused seats in the "sold out" MS, and if the NS were to fill up then will people wishing to get in to the NS be turned away.... to the MS.... I guess we will find out tomorrow..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the MS is sold out are there going to Celtic supporters in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
