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

Worst news possible.

 

Wouldn’t surprise me tbh to stop people gathering in homes etc

 

I just came over all funny..

 

They will play against us like this did last season, no doubt about it. That is their general game plan these days, they will press high and try to hassle us in to mistakes, looking to disrupt play and stop us from finding rhythm, helped by the ref of course.

They will aim to target our left side and Brown. They know he is weaker this season than previous, and they found some joy a few times in a high press on us and forcing Brown in to mistakes, something they will be even more happy to exploit this time if they can.

Got to be a 352, Brown will play and it's best we have him covering the 3 CBs and being a 4th option when needed there.

With Laxalt hopefully coming in, I honestly would start him in this game, otherwise the huns will be putting a lot of their game down our left side looking again to force Taylor in to mistakes and expecting to exploit any gaps between Taylor and Ajer - again why Brown needs to be in that position as well and on point.

352 gives us that cover and hopeful focus not to be forced in to anything by these *. McGregor and Christie should provide the legs to support the strikers.

Can see the win, but I fear if we start with Brown and Taylor then that is what they will look to exploit. Playing with one striker we all know should not be an option now.

The thing with this game though and the huns as a whole, they arent a better team than us and I do not expect us to drop points because they play better than us, they will simply look to stop us playing football and force mistakes - rather than actually outplaying us in football terms.

 

I also fear this game could be cancelled as they want a two week lock down and with everything closed people who don't have sky will all gather in a living room with their carry out and I think the Scottish government fear this and could be cancelled then .
But on the flip side don't think the police would want a powder keg game getting played maybe march or April that could decide the league .

 

Did prof Leitch not say on Saturday it wasn’t the politicians that stopped games going ahead but the football governing body? They can’t put these games off forever, we are maybe 3 years from a vaccine, what will they do cancel every game between us and that rancid mob until then?

 

Cancelling the game is dumb as *.

It's bad enough there'll be no fans at the game but now they're worried that people will gather in numbers to watch it on the Tele? Should've known it would be Joe Public who are to blame yet again...

How about we just cancel every * thing on the tele then and we all just sit in silence staring at the wall as we wait to die of old age like an obedient little citizen. We obviously can't be trusted to watch a game of football without killing every * granny with a virus...

 

Aye, I've been in favour of most of the measures taken so far but that would be a ridiculous over-reach.

They already have laws and restrictions in place to stop people congregating in gaffs...enforce actual instances of breaches rather than punishing everyone on the presumption we will break them.

 

Cancelling this makes no sense

How bizarre

 

Probably the least confident I’ve been before one of these games in a long time. Our current form even though we have been getting the results has been well below par. They are over confident and just about everyone of them expect a win, like the first derby last season and look how that turned out. Can’t wait for it though and I’m hoping the fact we wouldn’t be playing a team camped in their own box will help us get back to our best.

 

It doesnt make sense at all.

Cancelling it until when? The virus could be with us for years ffs.

And why cancel this over Hibs v Hearts,Aberdeen vs Sevco,Hearts Vs Celtic ?

Absolute Nonsense this.....May as well just postpone the whole * league if they decide to pick and choose games.

 

This will go ahead 100%.

Like every huns game, I'm a bit worried in the lead up to it, getting the heavy fear.

Morning of the game, on the sauce at breakfast time, some rebs on and then bet us to win 5-0 and 5-1.

 

I'm absolutely pig sick of this Government.

Aye Laxalt wont start, too soon for him since he’s not played in months. Good option from the bench though.
