Hearts v Celtic - Pre Match Thread

I think it might just have been mind games from Lenny, you can't drop Hooper or Stokes after saturday. I like Sammy but the tight pitch at Tynecastle up against their thuggish antics in a hostile atmosphere doesn't exactly suit his rather 'flowery' approach to football.

 

By flowery approach do you mean the fact that he is * *?

I absolutely cannot stand that guy anymore. Get him to * out of Celtic Park pronto. Makes me angry just thinking about how bad he is.

 

Paddy must be nearly due a wondergoal.......

 

I wouldn't have him anywhere near the starting 11 tomorrow.

 

McCourts pish. A player who scores a wondergoal every 3 months but contributes * all to the team due to the fact he's a greedy * who continuously tries to emulate his previous wondergoals. He's a decent impact sub at most.

I think Sammy is a decent player, yet easily the most frustrating person ever.

 

Honestly mate the guy just gives me the red mist these days. I wish he'd just go.

I'd stick with Hooper and Stokes up front tomorrow night, they've earned the right to keep their places. I'd like to see this line-up.................

Forster

Wilson--------Majstorovic--------Hooiveld--------Izaguirre

Juarez-----------Ki-----------Ledley-----------Maloney

Hooper----------Stokes

Prediction: Hearts 1 - 3 Celtic.

exactly what i was thinking mate, good call with wilson getting a game as well i think he'll be better for this type of game than cha

 

Nothing like a bit of constructive criticism.Did he not make the Hearts defence look more than a bit silly the last time we played them? Pure pish.......

 

I would go with that 11 but have Ki, Ledley and Juarez playing in the middle with Maloney behind the front two.

 

i think you'll find i went on to give criticism as to why that is my opinion of McCourt. Obv. your going to disagree, and thats fine mate. Yep he scored an excellent goal that day, tell me though, what exactly has he done since then?

 

+1

 

Seriously, count the minutes hes had since then.Ronaldo would be hard pushed to make an impact there.Less than 150 mins football this season and 3 goals.....not bad in my book.

 

Yep and there's clearly a reason he isn't getting played. He would be a starter every week if he was good. Ill not lie, he has moments of sheer brilliance but we are a man down in games he starts. He doesn't track back, he isn't a tackler, he's not particularly strong and his passing often lets him down. In a nutshell, he is the definition of a 'luxury player' This season we can't afford luxuries.

McGinn was able to score 3 in 95 mins of football, means nothing.

 

Think we're singing from different hymn sheets here.But thats fair enough.I think hes the most talented footballer in the SPL,you think hes a lazy *.There is probably a case for both views.Tough one to solve I grant you.But I'd rather watch him for 5 mins than watch Sammi or Stokes pretend to be wingers.(like stokes as a striker)

 

Totally agree with the bolded part mate.

 

yeah, all about opinions mate. I'll not disagree with the last sentence. Paddy does entertain, but ive listed what i think about him above.

On an unrelated note, im driving to the game tomorrow night when i normally get the bus, have to drive due to uni so where would the best place to park be? Preferably up nearer Costorphine road if possible?

 

I think we should sell Samaras in January. He is never going to get us the goals we need in the SPL ( note I said SPL not friendlies ).

Samaras is just going to * about on the wing all day long.

 

it was me who said he was pish mate, not the person you quoted.

 

OK,what did you make of mat le letisia?spelling?,1 bit of magic can lead to 3pts titles or cups and paddy brings that every time he gets the chance,not often enough,imoi so what if he dosnt defend most flair players dont,behind the strikers he,d run teams ragged.

 

The thing is for every game Paddy has put in that special moment he has had 3 games were he has been a waste of a jersey. Lennon's not an idiot, there's a reason McCourt doesnt play often, just like there was under Mowbray, just like there was under Strachan.

Matt Le Tissier did it consistently and also provided more for the team.
