There is nothing anti Celtic about saying they were * when they are fella, it,s just imo 2day we looked as if we wanted to get the ball on the ground and play fast close football,but as usual we were shut down by rankers.So hail hail mate and lets hope im right and we are on the up.

 

anyone else think we need a goal scorer? mcdonald looks overweight and slow (but I do like him) and big Jan isny good enough (not a fan his)

what you think

 

listen lads * or not we are still top of the league ...remember that.

 

I'm still baffled at the supporters who though we had enough up front during the Transfer Window.

 

He wasn't overweight and slow on the 27/12/08

 

i will say this though i thought that ref was totally murder today booking folk for things that wasnt even handbags,besides i thought mcgeady was rotten when he came on tbh.

 

haha-ave always said we need a good out and out goal scorer, we have alot of stickers but I think we can do better.

Aye we are 2 points clear with 13 to play-still a long way to go

 

We have needed another striker since the season started.

 

Dissapointed not to get the win but overall - Happy!

Them * set themselves out to gte a draw - Congrats, youve got it and we're still in pole position. Poor match becuase of poor opponents with no desire to attack.

Top of the league and going for 4IAR. GIUY yas *!

 

have noticed that in the last two old firms alot of the play is going down the middle then nowhere. why has wing play become anonymous in these games. very little wing play today only 1 i remember was flood cross and mcgeady might aswell been at home. down to wgs tactics or manks tactics to stop our wingers?

 

So whos the awnser? Do you think Fletcher would have made a differance today!?

 

We need something, we have won 1 in the last 5 league games

 

Boruc - 9 - two top class saves is always good to see.
Hinkel - 6 - decent game and kept Fleck quiet.
Cadwell - 8 - Think Lafferty is still in his pocket
McManus - 6 - Poor passing but did ok defensively.
Naylor - 5 - Launched the ball out the park to many times.
Flood - 7 - Did well decent addition to our squad
Hartley - 6 - Decent game but poor going forward
Brown - 7 - Good game till he got taken off
Nakamura - 6 - To quiet again
McDonald - 5 - Looked off the pace all day
Hesselink - 4 - Shocking player

SUBS
McGeady -5- Dont think he got a touch
Samaras -6- 10 times better than Hesselink should have started
Crosas -5- On for 5 mins at best

 

It'd be 10x worse if we had to go to Ibrox and win, remember that.

 

Id start Sammy ahead of Vennegoor against Motherwell and bench McDonald and start Hutchinson!

 

The question here is - Would he have done any worse?

 

I'd even try Caldwell as a CF. I'm also desperate.

 

Not the worst result I suppose....

 

just back from the game and it was murder............how bad are we?j.v.o.h was a waste of a jersey today.....
