Celtic vs Arbroath, Scottish Cup 4th Round, 01/12/12, 3pm

I think that may have been something to do with it. It's unfortunate though because it makes squad rotation even less likely in the future.

I see your point and you've made a persuasive argument but I think it's bad luck more than anything - if Lassad had pulled away and nothing had come of that situation, we wouldn't even be focusing on the incident. Lassad isn't wall material, fair enough - in future he shouldn't be in any.

Yep, you're right.

I don't think we'll be seeing Lassad in any other walls any time soon.

 

I was defending Lassad from the perspective of his performance the entire match, not for being - as I myself described it - "wimpish" in the wall.

Lassad was unlucky. Shouldn't have been in the wall in the first place if he can't take a smack.

 

I don't think Lennon will repeat that team line up for the replay, he's learned his lesson!
I live in Arbroath and see them play regularly. They are not so good at home and I can see us winning comfortably in the return tie. 3 or 4 nil. Gayfield however, is bitterly cold and windy all year round, pitch a bit sandy and heavy too. Lennon must not be complacent and allow Arbroath to break. All out quick attack from the whistle. Their heads will go down for sure.

 

Sky have replay coverage starts at 7.30 on SS1.

Good for Arbroath this & for us who arnt going to the game.

 

Thank the lord its On Sky live
