K-9 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Maybe our fans are right to feel short changed by this team, rightly so cause we know fine well they can do better but yes i do feel they are being disrespectful as there is no such thing as an easy game.Who cares what a couple of junkie IRA supporters think about the game?

bruceg1978 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Any update on how tickets are selling? Heard we have only sold approx 4,500 tickets. Link to comment
Jazzer_Bett Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 What had we sold a week prior to last time? I think we'll end up with 7500-8000, which is fair enough when you take into consideration all factors, KO time being the main one. We'll do what we can, hopefully the players raise their game.

Dynamo Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Got my ticket at lunchtime. Heard the boy on the phone telling someones sales are OK, but not as good as the league cup semi. I'd say sales are sh*te. Link to comment

Jazzer_Bett Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Is there not a lot of Huns in the Broch? Had a chap down from the Broch a few Saturdays ago to check out the Jazzer Mobile which is for sale, i'd been at Fir park and asked him if he had too - "no, Ibrox of course" he said... Of course??? FFS Needless to say I didn't sell it to him. Link to comment

dunc_afc Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Chosen not to go, our form is back to being as bad as it was under McGhee, the kick off time is ridiculous and I can get my regular game at the sports village instead of having to drive back from Glasgow in a bad mood Link to comment
K-9 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 6300 tickets sold i was told tonight with quite a few of those shifted pre kick off tonight. Link to comment
Jazzer_Bett Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thinking about Sunday now, I can't see Brown resisting the temptation to "tailor" a team to play against the Tims. Obviously last time was a disaster but then what do you expect if you play 5-3-2 and asked them to come at you - ironically classic Scotland from Mr Brown at Hampden. That said I don't think 4-4-2 gives us enough protection either-! We need to be set up to handle pressure but spring on the counter and use our pace when the opportunity arises. I think the way the arabs play, and it pains me to say this, is ideal for when you play the Old Firm away : 4-2-3-1. I know this is something McGhee tried and it failed because he didn't have enough fit players for it to work but I think he was onto something, for 5mins at least. Some may say its a risk but we need to play all our best players in this match and this formation allows it. Clearly the line up depends on who is fit but I reckon Mr Brown is going to play folk even if they aren't 100%. Josh put in a hell of a shift last night and was tough to handle, and his size and power is something we need against the Tims. They also haven't seen any of him yet and he is the man to rough up Mungrel and Loosens. With Josh, Maguire and Aluko's pace on the break as well Vernon's hold up play I think its a front 4 that could cause them problems. Hartley and Milsom are good on the ball and can collect and hold the possession to releave pressure on our joke shop defence. Its clear Lemmon will demand his rabble produce corners in the first minute, as if they score then the game is won. So, we need Hartley and Milsom to put their foot on the ball. I can't guess who will be our fullbacks, and my big worry is Vuja had such a bad time against them that he just isn't worth the risk unless we have no other choice. I would line up thus: LANGFIELD RIGHT BACKDIAMONDCONSIDINELEFT BACK HARTLEY (kick the living sh*t out of Kayal)MILSOM (pass pass pass pass pass) ALUKO (left) (tracking Tims wide right man)MAGUIRE (centre) (free role)MAGENNIS (right) (tracking Tims wide left man) VERNON (back into Mungrel at every opportunity) Subs : Howard, Jack, Paton, Robertson etc. GOOD LUCK Link to comment
Jazzer_Bett Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Can I just reiterate, Josh Magennis has to start this game. Got a feeling this lad is going to be our hero. In the absence of Darren Mackie, there is no one in our team who will be as pumped up as this guy. Link to comment

We did well up front last time, so Vernon and Maguire it is. Jack was very effective on the left hand side last time so I'd stick him there. Four at the back, has to be, three were ripped last time. And no Magennis, he's an impact sub. Link to comment

Jazzer_Bett Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Aye, we were sh*te last time, and Maguire virtually played the match as a left winger. If Vernon can knock down to either left, centre or right I think its a tactic that will work well - coz lets face it there will be a lot of hoofing the ball up to him when we are under pressure. Hartley will play if fit, and only Mr Brown knows if he will be or not Tup.........and to be honest he'll put his body on the line for the Red Army so I reckon he will start. Dezzy can fill in if he doesn't or he has to go off. Magennis deserves his chance, but i take your point he is an impact sub - my point is we need an impact from the very start min. Link to comment

I seem to remember Maguire setting up Vernon to hit the post in the first half, and both playing very well in the second half, linking with Jack. Perhaps, on reflection, I was seeing things.
