League Cup Celtic 2 - 1 The Uglies

my wee Ma’s song

 

Annihilate the *.

 

They can't deal with Abada coming in with the late run into the middle and scoring from that cross from the right with Barasic stranded.

 

Make that, the cross from the left side into the middle for Abada to connect.

 

I can't help think we need "an enforcer" for this fixture.
Probably just the derby fear kicking in and wanting to feel a bit more secure that we won't be bullied out of the midfield.
But the rational side of me is thinking that this game is being won on the wings.

Width will be key on the Hampden pitch, and we saw how much our play was absolutely hamstrung by a rusty Forrest and Taylor's exit.

I * HATE these build ups.

Seriously wish is was 2 hours before kick off so I could start sinking pints and relax the nerves.

 

You can get the pints down your neck anytime mate...

 

O'Riley is a talent but I think he drifts in and out of games. He seems to take it to heart if a pass goes astray or a move breaks down and it lingers with him, playing with his mind. Quite obvious when he shoots at goal and he is off target.

 

Mate you have no idea how badly I want to see Ludstram clocked in the mouth and have his blood spilling on to his shirt.
That * has maliciously hurt so many players over the last 2.5 seasons I have been watching SPL football that it is a disgrace he has not been hounded out of playing football in Scotland but the refs always turn a blind eye to his thuggery.
That kick to the face of the German defender in the Europa Cup final was criminal. He does that * early in the game and the refs are reticent to send him off. Meanwhile he has crippled some bloke for the rest of the game !

 

* steaming last night, round 2 kicks off at 12. Up the rebels

 

Been hearing from Huns all week about how easy it is to stop us from playing. They seem to think pressing high and stopping Mcgregor renders us ineffective. Not taking into account we play with inverted full backs which gives us two extra passing lanes in midfield alongside our wingers who drop deep on the wings. I'm kind of glad they're using the game at Ibrox as a marker as it will be completely different tomorrow. Forrest won't play for a start, we won't have a right back at left back and it's at a neutral ground. So if we drew 2-2 with all those factors taken into account you'd imagine we should beat them tomorrow.

 

They go two ways, either try and bully our midfield with fouls or lump it up the wings hoping to win that way. All 4 full backs are fit so I think using the wings will be stupid and our speed on the wings will expose them.
If they go the bully route they play two from Lundstram, Raskin or Kamara. Cantwell is a steak o *, so he can't really out muscle so I don't expect him to start and they will go with Tillman instead as AM.

 

Iwata could be very useful in this game, coming on in the second half to take control of things in the midfield.

 

When I was at school, in the mornings I'd wish it was "dinner" time, then in the afternoons I'd wish it was home time.

About a week before my Birthday, I'd wish the other days would disapear so my Birthday would be tomorrow.

The same with Christmas.

I'm geeting on a bit now so don't have as many days in front of me as I used to have. But * me I never wished my life away so much as I have in the last week.

So *, if you want to take one of the days days I have left, then help yourself, I really really can't wait to get stuck into these *.

So let's have the teams anounced in an hour and the kick of and hour later.

As for the day I want to sacrafice, all I ask is let me know if "No Cruise Yet " won the 3.25 at Newcastle.

But come on to * let's get this game started.

 

For me the biggest danger is the same as last year's semi - will Celtic let dodgy refereeing affect their mentality? It's ridiculous that they even need to face this problem, but with the right mentality it won't affect us - just stick to our principles, never stop

 

They are so confident of beating us, a team they have only beaten TWICE in SEVEN attempts since Ange has been here, one was Ange's first derby without a settled team and the other was with the help of Bobby Maddhun cheating in the SF last season.

Aggregate score

Celtic 13 - 7 Huns

We play OUR game tomorrow and there will be only one winner.

 

There were several factors in that game, they were thugs and allowed to get away with it, we had to play extra time with Ralston as LB and Welsh as RB and we didn't have a fully fit striker. Our squad is almost entirely fit and I don't think we have any issues there, the only issue is the refs.

 

This has been the longest week of my life man. We need to win tomorrow, don't care how.

 

Never mind the Rugby, what about the League Cup Final ffs!
