"No disrespect to Celtic, but it is probably a decent time to play them at the moment as they're not steamrolling teams like they have done in the past." Really? With us... ANY time a team needs a wee hand we are willing providers. I fear a mauling. I will be there supporting... but I truly fear a humiliation.

Froggie Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Its never wise to write off Saints, particularly when we are on an awful run - like now- but since Lennon took over (one game excepted)and with Craig as his henchman, our record against Celtic has been lamentably bad. No goals scored in almost every match and heavy defeats the norm. Of course it was ever thus against that team but I fully expect a beating on Saturday due to the lack of premier league standard players wearing the Saints shirts this season. In normal circumstances it would be unfair to start calling for a managers head after less than a dozen games - albeit most of them defeats - but in Craigs case, he has been here for a few years and we all know he only got the job due to costs being cut at Board level.To say nothing of the underhand way he accepted the position as his partner was sacked. Ive not been on recently after the succession of defeats saying "I told you so" after posting about the lack of quality in his close season recruits, I think it was self evident they would amount to very little considering where they came from. To this end I would say that the exit from one of only two tournamants we can compete for and another home league defeat ought to hasten the departure of a man who makes even Lennon look vaguely competent.

Mykey Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 he wont walk. this is his last chance to be a manager, probably a lifelong ambition. he's got a 2 year deal and has served 8 weeks of it - why on earth would he walk.

TopCat Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Would losing 5-0 in this game be a humiliation? We lost by that last year, did anyone feel humiliated? I didn't. Celtic can and regularly do dish out heavy beatings to any side in the country. Dundee Utd got one a few weeks back, and they're top of the league! Scott Brown earns more than our entire playing and coaching staff combined. Celtic should be beating us comfortably every time they play us. If they click and play to their best on Saturday we will get a doing, regardless of how well we play. Feel the doom merchants need a sense of perspective.

JM1 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Played 7, won 1, drawn 0, lost 6, scored 3, conceded 15 would be pretty humiliating, aye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's an issuer separate from the game. The start to the season should be measured after we have played everyone once.

islaysaint Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 The facts are staring Saints fans in the face. This group of players is the worst we have had for quite a while. One win so far, and that was a fluke, is relegation form. I do not like it, but it's factual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This group of players is the worst we have had for quite a while. One win so far, and that was a fluke, is relegation form. I do not like it, but it's factual. While we have a very poor start to say any game we win is a "fluke" and don't mention that we've played pretty decent in other games we've lost is not a fair reflection of our season. It's, frankly, hilarious, to write off a win as a fluke although, seemingly, we won the league cup by lots of flukes. The worst players we've had for quite a while? Very subjective as results tend to influence people opinion. It's not impossible we could get relegated as we've flirted with relegation for many a year but the FACT is we've always managed to avoid relegation, despite being written off by many "supporters" almost every season.

Ayrshire Saints Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I will be visiting the headmasters office going to the game tomorrow with only hopes and dreams as opposed to any sort of optimism. At least being a Sat there is always extra drinking time to be had if we are getting a tanking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 The last time I was looking forward to a home game against Celtic less than tomorrow's game, we won 4-0. Here's hoping something similar happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping something similar happens. Yes I agree feels very similar (as did the semi final). Had I not had a ST I would have been sorely tempted to give it a miss but I never do more fool me but as you say you just never know. Lets be honest though every single time we have beaten one of the ugly sisters (at least since the 80's) we will have approached the match with the same lack of optimism so it's nothing new really. If you go expecting the worst you may end up pleasantly surprised (I'm trying to be optimistic here folks honest !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping something similar happens. Ah but, ah but, ah but....Such results are just St Mirren's way of conning us into believing that a fluke IS a slim possibility.... simply in order to REALLY bash our baws wi a giant jaggy mallet of a gubbing. I would probably be with elvis on this one.... If I ever read his life-quenching posts. Eta: I just got 8/1 on Saints.... And rolled it in with three others. I could be a millionaire-ish person by Sat evening. Edited September 26, 2014 by bluto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Apart from the Isma games Danny Lennon's record against Celtic was 11 defeats and 0 goals scored against 30 conceded - OK I know I'm being selective but there's no magic new arrival to suggest we're going to buck our recent form, going further back the story is pretty much the same. Cliché No. 247 - Anything we get from this game will be a bonus....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldyOzBud Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 A Septic team that's not setting the world on fire, a manager that is under a bit of pressure, it really does have an element of the " Mowbray " about it. Hope for the best but expect the worst... 4-0 Saints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
