    I don't think he tracks back enough. He did a wee bit against Dundee the other day but nearly caused a goal

    I don't but I 100% get that. To throw away that lead is ridiculous. Also if it was most other managers dragging us along I'd want them away, except maybe Ange tbh.

    You will see corruption on an industrial scale tomorrow.

    Every time they get chance to throw the ball in our box from a set piece Walsh will give them it.

    It's a certainty they score from a set piece or someone most likely Welsh will have a brain fart and pull a Jersey.

    They have all the momentum and even though look nothing great they are better and stronger than us. Anyone thinking anything else is deluded.

    We are a small. Weak team with midgets throughout it. They will ragdoll us and then you would think changes in the boardroom and dugout would happen but alas it won't and we have given them a £50m lifeline whilst we will then (by lawwells own words) have to balance the books or eat into cash.

    Going to be a very sore one tomorrow and will go for a new year walk while it's on.

    If they go into the new year top of the league after the lead we had, he's failing big time at what he gets paid to do. Getting the boot is entirely justified if that happens.

    The win at Ibrox has given him a helluva lot of money in the bank. But bar a handful of games, it's been pish viewing all season.

    Most of us said we'd give him until the new year and assess him then. Not being first going into 2024 was unthinkable when he was appointed. Time to earn your money Brendan!

    Every team in the league now know how * we are defending high balls into our box. It used to be just corners or set pieces but now it's throw - ins as well. I've been screaming out for us to sign taller, more physical players for ages but we persevere with Taylor and a GK who's scared to come off his line to claim the ball. The huns will utilise these weaknesses with the added bonus of knowing that the hun with the whistle will give them every opportunity to win free kicks etc and bully our defenders with impunity

    I suppose everyone sees players differently. IMO, he is not defensively lazy. Not a Yang or Maeda, but no Ntcham either.

    Place will be toxic as * tomorrow if we don't win and play poorly.

    We should be miles ahead of them but sadly we are not.

    Hope we find a performance from somewhere and grab a win but right now we really cannot afford to lose.

    See folk talking about how the ref will guarantee them a pen or free kick near the box and the man in black is out to get us. How about stopping the simp soyboy mentality and we just show up and score a barrel load more goals than them then they can have their customary penalty?

    I agree place will be toxic as everyone is desensitized to consistently winning for the most part of 10 years. It wouldn't be the end of our season just means transfer window has to be spot on and we show we finally mean business.

    I'm done in the head man.

    I can not tell you how I've woken up today convinced today was the day and I've been restless all morning waiting for the game.

    Only to clock the DHL worker coming to my house reminded me it's * Friday.

    There isn't going to be a barrel load of goals.

    The decisions that they are getting and not being given against them and the decisions that win and lose games.

    I am genuinely concerned that we are going to see the same standard of refs and VAR that we have seen become worse in recent times.

    But it's exactly why we need to not take the game to a slugfest, it has to be up and at them early doors. If we are more clinical than we have been recently we will win comfortably. Those ref decisions come back to haunt you if you don't take the chances we will hopefully get/take early on.

    I'd like to add theyv been at the end of one or two rough decisions in old firm games last few years as well . They get away with those dodgy decisions more when they play wee-er teams

    I'm in Glasgow for a Celtic match for the first time in a few years. Are there any good Celtic bars with live music tonight? The last time I was here, I had a great time at St. Vincent's, which unfortunately seems to no longer exist. So, do Graces or Malones seem like good choices?

    The last time we was absoloutly done by the ref with a game against them was one certain refs last game in the semi final. A disgrace of a performance. A ref that later admitted to being a season ticket holder his entire childhood until he decided to take up running and supporting st mirren... LOL.

    So I expect nothing to bad tbh. They won't risk it in the biggest games with the highest viewing figures out the UK.

    Yes, it'll be toxic but, a lot of that toxicity will be about the fact that we pished away an 8pt lead over the huns due to several sub-standard performances and team selections that were just baffling. If Rodgers, Lawell, Lawell Jnr and the rest of the board think fans were angry at the diets game, then they ain't seen nothing yet if we loose tomorrow.

    Win lose or draw nothing will be decided tomorrow and if we lose Rodgers won't and shouldn't be sacked..

    It is huge in psychologically though, no doubt..

    Let's hope it's us who gain that advantage..
