Beat the odds against Dundee and we were far from our best on Saturday, so yes I'd say we have been lucky to get to this point. Have you seen the way our league campaign has went...

My hope is that he thinks using the cup to give fringe players a game would still see his team strong enough to win at home against lower league opponents, and I believe that from our POV, that would give us a chance of avoiding something of a doing. Call it anything you want, defeatist, scared - I don't care. I don't want to see us getting a tanking, and I fear a full-strength Celtic with the right attitude would administer a tanking. The thought of an on-form Scott Sinclair running at our defence and making chances for Dembele and Co scares the shite out of me. Just going on the evidence we've got it looks like he won't. Full strength against ICT and Albion Rovers so why should the quarter final be any different? The fringe players have featured more in the league so far than they have in the cup. Regardless Celtic don't really have much of a weakened team. We'll more than likely get beat, I don't think it matters if it's 1 or 10 goals, this match is a no pressure occasion that will bring decent money to the club. That's all that really matters. I think it's the best draw we could of hoped for. (except Clyde/Ayr) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen you, I'm trying to find something to suggest we won't get pumped, and I'm clutching at the hope they treat us a bit lightly and rest some guys. Stop bringing facts into it.

TopCat Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 When was the last time Celtic beat us in a cup game? 2013.Which was also the Scottish cup quarter final and the last time we played them in the cup.http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/21556779 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC we took 3000 that day to Parkhead. I'd be surprised if we took 1000 this time around. IIRC the bulk of the revenue from that game went to paying of Tom Hendrie.

Either way we should file your post under the heading "laughable". If its not life and death, then why do we need to "act like men and meet the challenge head on"? The reason that sectarianism still exists in Scottish society today is because people like YOU condone it. We need to get rid of the Old Firm, not encourage it. But then again, you have previous for supporting Celtic's sectarianism, hatred and violence. Either way, we should file YOU under the heading "laughable". You, poor, fat, lonely, lecturer!

You have a decent point there. I never understand anyone who will not go and support the team when playing the old firm. Supporting you local team is standing up for everything old firm is against.

He is talking about deliberately sending a youth team to protect our senior squad from a heavy defeat. I, on the other hand, advocate going along with a full senior squad and face down the challenge....as long as I can get my apparently "fat lecturer arse" over there without wheezing myself into an early grave. Of course I will presumably have to finish my exam marking, and whatever else lecturers do, first.

At one time I would have said, if we were at home, but, let's be honest, that would likely be worse at the moment. This parkhead mob have the bit between their teeth and will chew us up and spit us out. If we keep the score lower than four and no more, it'll be a small victory.

Why should i pay good money to sit in inferior seats to the home fans , to be subjected to a different set of rules by over zealous stewards and be in amongst a threatening and abusive support spouting their vile sectarian views going in and coming out of the stadium ?

Dirty Sanchez Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 I see that Motherwell are 25/1 to win at Parkhead on Saturday. You wonder what odds they'll give us. It might be a club record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a self employed rocket scientist or some such I'm led to believe, I was toying with the idea of coming over to a match but I'm not coming for that one. I'll regret it if we beat them. I'm never comfortable at Parkhead or Ibrox and I just can't be arsed with all the crap that we hear at both grounds. A friend of mine over here who is a Celtic fanatic has invited me to go over with his crowd. I declined. Hope you get rid of your wheeze soon. You should invent a cure.

faraway saint Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 The eternal "I'm going, I'm no going" whenever we play either Rangers or Celtic debate. I can see both points but I still believe that allowing anything, and some use any excuse, to stop you seeing your team possibly win against a giant seems a wasted opportunity.
