Official Celtic v Dundee United Match Thread

Not these days you're not.

 

i paid £35.50 for a ticket on saturday to watch total * and listen to 44,000 animals sing vile, i havent missed a home or away game all season but what happened on saturday i will forget about when i start cheering them on tomorrow night as its another game and another 3 points up for grabs.
the people who decide they arent going tomorrow after saturday, what will happen if rangers slip up the following night, will they be back the following weekend ?
you need to take the good with the bad.

 

Although the defeat on Saturday was a bitter blow, myself and my Son will be in the North Stand on Tuesday cheering on the Bhoys.
The league won't be won and lost at Ibrox, just because both teams have been better than the rest of the SPL, but I've found this season in particular, by reputation only.
I believe if we lose the league, it will because we failed to kill Dundee Utd off in two of the three games we have played and the shocking draw against ICT.
When we were 7 points clear at Christmas, we should have strengthened up front or trusted our reserve strikers.
Letting Cillian Sheridan go was a mistake if we didn't wish to play the Hutch.

2-0 with McGeady and Caldwell and lets hope Riordan and Fletcher give them the runaround on Wednesday

 

Will be my first visit to celtic park this season. Will be looking for a good performance.

With brown back we should control the game.
Wouldn't Mind Seeing Some Youngsters get a decent run out.

 

i'll be absolutely livid if vennegoor is the captain for this one. player and captain missing. no wonder we lacked something at ibrox

 

Well im going and i have a higher english exam on friday.

Some people still are

 

We need a good support and atmosphere tomorrow night, none of the quiet midweek *. If we're not up for this Dundee Utd will do us. Im going for a 2-0 home win, big performance from the bhoys after huns defeat.

 

AgreedWe need to win and score more than Rangers in the next few games to stand a chance. All out to get the GD up

 

What he said

 

Maybe I've took your post up wrong but the game is live on Setanta.

 

agreed except mccourt in for maloney, there is absolutely nothing more he can do to get a chance, he deserves it now, especially with the lack of any penetration on sat.

 

i would go with

.........................boruc....................
hinkel.....caldwell............loovens.........naylor

naka..........brown............crosas/robson.........mcgeady

......................skippy..........jvoh...............

dont know if robson and brown would be to attacking. i wouldnt mind seing paddy in the team just for something diffrent but willkie was marking maloney in he first half of a reserve game last week and wilkie was lost so we have options if plan A doesn't work.

 

1 say 1-0 celtic and the same team as at ipox

 

Obviously a must win game, Brown in for Hartley, McGeady for Maloney and Naylor for O'Dea, hoping for a good performance and a few goals but would happily settle for any sort of win at this stage.

As has been stated the fans really need to get behind the team, wish I could come over for it but will instead have to make do with cheering them on from in front of my TV

 

You have. He means the attendance at these games is usually bad enough, with the fact it is on TV people will stay at home and watch it hense making it even worse.

 

I think we'll lose, I really do.

Not that I'm pessimistic, just realistic.

Levein has had Strachan in his pocket with a fraction of the funds available, with us not having the luxoury of 13 penalties at the end of the game to beat them - I think we're *.

Lets hope I'm wrong - after all I thought we'd win 2-1 at Ibrox on Saturday.

 

I'm certain you'll be wrong Hairytoes, we have been formidable at home recently and the atmosphere for a midweek game should be great.

I'm sticking to my guns and saying leave JVoH on the bench.

Boruc

Hinkel Caldwell Loovens Naylor

Crosas Brown

McGeady Nakamura McCourt

McDonald

Although im pretty sure JVoH, Hartley and O'Dea will start because of Dundee Utd's physical style.

 

Heres hoping Kieron, I wonder what will happen with Loovens, he did blatently kick out on Sat.

I don't think WGS will drop JVoH - it's not his style to drop * players, he's more likely to make them captain.

 

The Loovens tackle was a bit silly, but he will play tomorrow. Any ban wont come into effect before the game - surely.

No i dont think he will drop Jan either. I think he will play his strong players, and his workers apart from the wide areas.

Im sure he will bring McGeady back in, with Naka on the other side. And i think Brown will replace Crosas, not Hartley.

But if they win i dont care what first XI he plays at this stage.
