Dundee United vs. Celtic. Sun 8th March KO 15:30 Scottish Cup Live on Sky 1

I'm a bit worried myself if I'm honest.

Hopefully Matthews, Izzy and Commons are fit.

 

The first true test as to whether or not the current squad are actually capable of bringing the domestic treble home to Paradise.

Obviously we're going to miss GMS and Armstrong, but hopefully we still have enough to do it without them.

 

Anyone know any pubs near London kings cross where I can watch the game?

 

I'm worried about this tie too if I am being honest, as I think United will be right up for this under Jackie McNamara, and they will have studied closely how St Johnstone achieved their result against us on Wednesday, and will plan accordingly.

We will need to be at full throttle again with some width on the flanks, no Forrest please Ronny ever again man down .

Hopefully Commons will be back because we definately miss his goals in these tight defensive affairs.

 

If everyone's fit:

Gordon
Matthews Denayer Virgil Izaguirre
Brown Bitton
Commons Johansen Wakaso
Griffiths​

 

5 minutes walk to Euston is the * tavern, Celtic number 1 but a complete dive..

10 minutes walk is the sheephaven at Mornington crescent just as your entering Camden which is decent..

Jump 10 minutes on the tube to Kennington-the kings arms, good Celtic pub and easy to get to. Advised this to another member on here not long ago and he enjoyed it

 

Do i stay for the draw for the semi's or do i head to the pub for it?

Decisions decisions

 

Is the draw straight after the game aye?

Falkirk through tonight!

 

You are not being fair a small crowd at Celtic Park is somewhere in the thirty thousands . A big crowd at Dundee Utd when we are not there is 6-8k .
Whose been hypocritical .

 

Glasgow also has 4 times bigger population, it's still around the same percentage of fans that only turn up for the big games.

 

My original point was that this is a big game on Sunday and they still all won't turn up and fill their ground.

Anyway, enough about them. Really hope Matthews is fit for this one, been impressed by him again lately. As much as Stokes has frustrated me recently I'm looking for him to prove a lot of doubters wrong, usually does well at Tannadice. I'm quietly, very quietly, confident that we will win this by a couple.

 

whats his record like up there ??

 

I am sure that they know how important that game is. So I am really not concerned at all.

 

Just seen ICT v Raith is off because of a waterlogged pitch.

Any Dundee bhoys able to say what the chances of ours being off tom.

If on this will be tough especially on a pitch that's poor.

I feel this is the hardest hurdle to the treble. Need to score first.

3-1

 

@ JC

I'm 25 miles from Dundee and there's been very little rain here in the last 3 days. No problems as far as I'm concerned but I'm no Sean Batty

 

Cheers mate, I know Tannadice gets waterlogged in the corner where the tunnel is.

Nervous about this one.

 

Aberdeen put us out last year.

 

There is no excuse for us not beating this lot given the difference in resources! But this is the hardest one to overcome!! United have to salvage something after their poor performances of late and will give it their absolute all! A can see 10 men behind the ball and unfortunately we do not have the players to break a team down when they tactics are employed! A feel very nervous about this game as it's the next step towards a historic treble! Negativity and realism are 2 completely different things!!

 

3 goals in his last 4 games at Tannadice, always seems to put a shift in there.

 

Who'd have thought it, Armstrong and Mackay Stevens being a huge loss to the team no long after joining. Just shows how quickly they've settled.
