Accept not my finest. However I can only improve but you will continue to submit -ve posts throughout season regardless our performances. I blame the poor weather on you !!Quote:

If we're going to do that then we'd be as well asking the SPFL to forfeit or three league meetings with them right now and take the 0-3 penalty defeat as that would spare the support the time, effort and money to go to these matches and on evidence of our past two meetings with them, it would keep our goal difference down too.Quote:

Going into a game against them with no belief, lining up 4-5-1 is an acceptance of your fate before a ball is even kicked, but that's something we are guilty of far too often.
Why do people still bother what happens when we play Sellik? Anything from those games is a bonus. When we know 95% of them end in defeat, what's the point in looking for something we ain't gonna get? I'd be worried if we were continually tanked by anyone other than The Manky Mob.

We can't just shrug our shoulders and dismiss them or otherwise it won't be 95% of games against them ending in defeat, it'll be 100% and that's not acceptable. Yes Celtic are better than us and yes, they will beat us more often than not, but as I said, we at the very least need to show that we believe we can take something from them, otherwise there would be no point whatsoever in even playing the matches against them atall.Quote:

Wednesday is one of only two opportunities we will have to try and achieve something other than just turning up to go through the motions in a season.Quote:
