    Disgraceful that they don't get to go to Tynecastle again. But I don't care, we just have to go out and win our games and don't lose at Ibrox, it's in our hands.

    I do admit I'm very nervous though, esp. about that trip to Ibrox, they have a great chance to shaft us there.

    Tynecastle is the hardest place to go to outside parkhead and mordor, it's a disgrace that the buns only have to play there once. Even more annoyed because they dropped points at Tynecastle!

    I think we should focus on our own games - leave moaning to the orcs. Not that I don't agree that it's ridiculously unfair, but it'll get us nowhere so it's a waste of time.

    In the next two games we'll be without Brown. I think we should go with:

    Boruc
    Hinkel-Caldwell-Loovens-O'Dea
    Nakamura-Hartley-Crosas-McGeady
    McDonald-Vennegoor​


    Of course, for the OF game we could consider some changes. We've got Maloney back, so he could be an option on the wings or up front (Or even put McGeady up front with Vennegoor and Maloney on the wings).​

    Wait till we've got these out of the way before talking about the other games. The huns could drop points in their next game and I can seriously see us raping them at Mordor - the point being that the table could be vastly different in a few games time.​

    We could be seven clear, with two home games left needing only a win to secure the title. One the other hand, we could be five behind needing a 3-in-a-row performance to come close to retaining the title.​

    The next two games will decide the Championship :86:

    I must admit I'm gutted they are back at Easter Road where they have a good record and are playing Hearts at home.
    I wonder who the sfa want to win the league?:rolleyes:

    so far Crosas has been not in the OF games right?

    Maybe Strachan will get cute and go
    4-3-
    hinkel---loovens---caldwell---naylor/odea
    naka---------hartley-------maloney
    -------------mcgeady---------------
    jvoh------------------------mcdonald



    In reality I think it'll be more defensive like so


    Hinkel--- Loovens---- O'dea---- Naylor

    Naka---- Caldwell------ Hartley/robson---- mcgeady

    jvoh--------------------skippy

    Actually, Does that mean the huns have avoided another trip to pittodrie also? Aberdeen have a shocking record at Ipox aswell but the huns have got a poor record up their.

    Ah stuff it lets roll the sleeves up and get on with winning 4 in a row and let them start us on -10 points next season to see if that will give them a better chance!

    They've already played at Pittodrie twice so that's fair enough in my books, don't see why they've mucked about with Hearts and Hibs though when it would've worked out like it should've if it was the other way around.

    Hearts got a draw at Ibrox remember, it's not all bad. Sure it'd be better and fairer if they played at Tynecastle.

    I don't know whether I fear for us or to be confident. Our away form has been poor, but we've played a lot of the harder teams away from home in 2009. DUTD, Hearts, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Inverness had a new manager when we played them and they were bottom of the league.

    * it, we're Celtic. Teams should fear us, if they don't there's something seriously wrong at CP.

    hopefully strachan watched the hun game today in terms of how we beat them

    we need JVOH and Sammy up front, smmy's pace and the aerial power of both, get crosses in the box constantly as weir and bougherra couldn't head north the day

    I agree high balls is the way to go. Especially since McGregor will probably be back, and we all know his weakness is cross balls.

    But we need McDonald. He's got moments of magic in him, and he's hard to get the ball off of because he's a small guy. Good at holding play up, he also links up brilliantly with Jan. His goal against Aberdeen is a good example.

    i agree with the moments of magic bit with skippy but samaras' pace would tear their defense a new one he's the only striker we have that betters madjid in every area

    although its good having a pleasant striker "crisis" now though:icon_mrgreen:

    maybe 4-3-3 with all the strikers but that leaves mcgeady/naka on the bench, the fact that there are so many options to be honest typifies the many reasons why the league should be wrapped up by now

    A lot will be clearer after the first two games. Depending who hits form it could all be over after them. I am sure we will beat Aberdeen with so much at stake and I fancy hearts to take a point at Ibrox. That would be at least a 3 point lead plus a significantly bigger GD. That would make Ibrox crucial and possibly a clincher.

    What a frigging disgrace that the huns face the farts at Ipox for the 3rd time instead of Swinecastle,huns have the easier run.
    expect the 2 Aberdeen huns to set an 11 defender formation,still i don't care,we will beat those trashbags on there own sty

    Who decides the date of the last old firm fixture?
    Who decides when we will play against the other 5 top 6 clubs?
    Who the * decides that The Huns should be spared a trip to the most difficult away ground other than Celtic Park?
    Probably the same * that think it is a good idea to drag bookings from previous seasons into consideration when totting up a disciplinary points total.

    The whole thing is a * joke. It is open for scrutiny everywhich way you look at it. The sooner we get shot of this * joke of a league the better. The whole thing is run by halfwits.
