[Matchday] 9IAR Champions Vs The Uglies - 17.10.20 - 12.30PM K/O

Don't have Sky and all the Tims I usually watch matches with either have kids/work/away. Actually having to consider going to a Hun's house to watch it. Thanks Sturgeon, ya cow.

 

Checked odds on correct scores and can’t remember them being so good,will definitely be putting a few bets on this game.

 

For once it's actually beneficial being in England to watch Celtic - down the pub as usual for this one

Gonna be weird as * with no fans in the ground though tbh.

 

Sturgeon getting the blame for you not having SKY?

 

No. For her overzealous lockdown.

 

Wee ball's down the channel's when their full back's go forward, absolutely kills them..

Also they like to press in the midfield 3 as a trio. I've noticed a few time's that just a wee drop of the shoulder or bit of pace and you can bypass it pretty well..

I've got this immense feeling all week that we'll do them. I can't shake it off and it's got me more relaxed than any of the time's since they've came back up where we were pumping them..

It's weird. They've improved and we've got player's out but the pressure is all on them and they think they've got our number..

They're gonna get the shock of their lives when we have boy's coming in who are desperate to cement their place in the side..

Roll on. We're better than them and this is the time to show it..

Get the posters of all the * they've spoke about spread on the wall's. Katic saying they'd win the league if they played us every week. The way they celebrated at New year etc etc..

We've done what we always do, and that's tick over quietly about our business..

Tempo and controlled aggression from the off. Buzzing for this..

 

Whole of Europe gone down the same route,it is what it is.

 

Honestly man, what happened to you

 

Absolute *

 

Same here

 

Totally agree, being the underdog plays into Lennon's hands. He's known for being a good man motivator and the circumstances surrounding this game will definitely give him some ammunition to get him and the players fired up.

This game jumps out as a game that we weren't expected to win vs. them: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/9330644.stm

 

Sammy Sunday, packy has already made that call maybe Barkas can summon some of that Greek fortune for us again

 

We need to make sure we aren’t caught cold in the beginning and match the intensity they will try to bring from the off.

I remember the match against them in the cup final and at Parkhead thinking eventually we are going to get a foothold in the game and chances will come with out attacking threat but it never really materialised. I know we won the cup final but it was a very poor performance.

We noticeably do not do well when pressed, we tend to panic and lump it so we need to have a game plan to either press ourselves high up the pitch as a team or have a workaround to beat the initial press.

If we can avoid conceding early I think we will win by two goals, as the game goes on the wind will go out their sails. I am actually more relaxed about the game due to missing players. This is exactly the kind of match Lennon thrives in, underdog world conspiring against us with Covid tests and the media bigging the huns up.

 

Get a NowTV day pass.

Christie brings a lot of energy but in this game he really is a headless chicken that they play around..

The game will be on who is cooler in possession. Ntcham or Turnbull will likely be better bets for it..

They're petrified of Eddy and we're better with him no question....but an Ajeti or Klimala pressing them high and having the strength/pace to run in behind....May actually be more beneficial for us in the first half..

Eddy on then second half to finish them second half if need be..

 

No matter the 11 we send out .. We wont be blinking !! send them back to the 1600's where they belong !!!
Celtic 2 rancids 0 .

 

I will take that further. International football at all right now is madness. How can 25 odd players come from all over fly to once location then fly to other locations to play games then back and then back to the home club be a safe bubble. It simply is not doable from a safety and health standpoint end of story.
