COYW good luck guys
Done inside half an hour.
We actually recovered well from booting the ball into our own net but we're not pulling back two. Right side of the team has been fine, the left...oh dear. McGinley has struggled against Frimpong but the key is Maguire is getting absolutely hammered by Rogic - turns out looking ok v Ross County and Livi not quite the same as Celtic.
A tough one into the international break but overall it's been a decent run.
4-1 final score.
We actually made a game of it and were unlucky not to score before we did but it was clear we were only back in it because Celtic had eased up. I said in our wee chat they'd simply up it and score again by the 80th minute - it didn't even take them that long.
Celtic were better than us - all the more reason not to gift them a start. It's a funny world - one end; ball hits post, rebounds, hits Celtic player on the knee and goes in. Other end; ball hits Celtic player on the leg and goes past the post. Against Stenhousemuir or somebody, we'd probably have had a penalty. I thought that most of our guys put in a decent shift, but the other team was better. It happens.Quote:

I don't see how you can acknowledge that we were only back in it because Celtic had eased up yet contend that we made a game of it. We didn't make a game of it, we were dismal yet again and like rabbits in the headlights as we always are against the Old Firm nowadays. The game was over as a contest within half an hour and thereafter Celtic took their foot off the gas. It wasn't a case of us "making a game of it" it was a case of them moving down a gear.Quote:

TBH I'm sick of just 'making a game of it' versus the Bigoted two. I'd much rather we just boot the ball into our own goal 3 times and give them the points.
These days - more than ever - our only games of interest should be playing teams other than these 2.
Thought played reasonably well considering our squad.Quote:

IMO we have have problem with both wing backs as ineffective and lack any danger going forward.
O’Hara a revelation playing defence. .. Maguire a welcome addition to the mid-field but Polworth needs to regain level of consistency.
Thankfully Robinson has abandoned wingers (Hylton, Seedorf & Hastie) as utterly pointless our style of play.
Thought forwards, incl. White, presented a threat and hopeful for the future.
