dj_bollocks Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 The pressure's on wee ginger pubes... I reckon we might get something... Christ knows what wee CB's put in the water, but let's see what we're made of. Link to comment
wilm1542 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Celtic have an away match against Rennes on Thursday night too. Very optimistic about this one! Link to comment
OneBeboMaguire Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Same team, 4-4-2, have a go, let's have it! Link to comment
Site Sponsor Dom Sullivan Posted October 16, 2011 Site Sponsor Share Posted October 16, 2011 Same team, 4-4-2, have a go, let's have it!Aye, vitally important that Broon doesn't take his foot off the gas and line them up looking for a draw as we winna get one if he does. We need to go to Minksville and have a real go. The Minks defence is attrocious - lets get in aboot them and turn these fuckers over. Have a go Broon!! Link to comment
minijc Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Obviously going to go one up front, has to be Fallon, in last two games in my opinion his all round game has been better than vernons. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Obviously going to go one up front, has to be Fallon, in last two games in my opinion his all round game has been better than vernons. Fallon's hold up play certainly is, and that is what we will need down there. As soon as he went off yesterday, the ball wouldn't stick up top at all, and it just invited pressure on to us for the remaining 20 minutes or so. Link to comment
JFK Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I would be very surprised if we started with anything but a 4-5-1 formation against Celtic. I would be shocked if we managed to get a point from the game itself. Not just because we're playing Celtic, but also because our results and performances away from home (apart from a 20 minute spell against Rangers) have been atrocious so far this season.

Rocky Fister Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Things are certinly looking up, and I felt that we deserved something out of the first game against them at Pittodrie. One slip up cost us. They are certainly not a great team, but I still think we'll do well to get a draw next week! Link to comment
K-9 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Send out team to have a bit of a go. Not gung ho but give it a go. No 4-5-1 sitting 10 men behind the ball nonsense as we wont get away with it no matter how bad Celtic are playing cause handing a team initiative from start can only give them confidence.

DannyBhoy Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 The way to get at us is long balls over the top. Majstorovic is the worst player I have ever seen in Celtic jersey - and I've seen a few, we have no spine to the team. We have Newcastle's 3rd choice goalie as a keeper, Mulgrew (who is captain FFS) and Maj as center halves, Kayal hasn't kicked a ball all season, Ki seems to believe he should be playing for Man U or Chelsea, Hooper is either unfit or interested. If Aberdeen come away with anything, especially after our inevitable defeat away from home in Europe on Thursday, it's just a matter of time before Lennon gets the sack. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I still approach this game with a bit of trepidation. And I'm sure the players and management will too.(due to past gubbings and performances)The tattie munchers however are there for the taking and if we approach this game in a controlled manner, look to attack sensibly then I believe we can get something from this. If we frustrate them and create against them, the slavering hoards of weegies will soon turn against them and get on their backs.Confidence should be up. Two great home results and we're finding the back of the net. Same team, let them worry about what we might be able to do and see where that gets us.Look at Killie and St Johnstone recently. They'vehad a go against them and have gained credible results. COYR Link to comment

DannyBhoy Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Granted I've not seen a lot of Aberdeen this season, but the big guy up front - Vernon is it? If he's playing he'll have a field day, if Aberdeen start the same way Kilmarnock did then it could easily be the same sort of scoreline, if it wasn't for 2 wonder strikes from Stokes then Lennon would be going for his P45 this morning.

fine-n-dandy Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Would like to believe that we can get something from this game & the fact that they're in a bit of a wee poor run the now & will be playing in Europe on Thurs may help but the fact that we have scored a grand total of zero goals away from home this season to me means we will struggle imo.Yes we've scored 7 in last two home games & had lots more chances (but only in Pars game) but we still cannot create enough & nothing has changed there imo. Set pieces (as someone else mentioned) will be our only hope of sneaking anything. Link to comment
SkyeDon Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Won't be heading to this one, I hate the place! Nevertheless, I hope we put up a fight and have a go as they're rotten just now. I would maybe replace Fyvie with Pawlett for a bit of pace down the right but would stick with an attacking set up. Link to comment
Quanny Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 The only thing that worries me is that Aberdeen and expectation never go hand in hand now a days. But the positives are that we have looked strong in the last 2 matches and Celtic have looked mince. I defo think it should b the same team as last 2 why break up a winning team. I agree that Maj is 1 of the worst CB's i've in a Celtic shirt if it were me i would put Fallon on him and make fallon the target. Only things that might b a problem is if Maweme plays silly buggers or if Milsom dose his vanishing act but confidence should b high and a point very achievable. Link to comment

Maybe, but I have more faith in Verno to put a bulge in the old onion bag than I do with Fallon. Link to comment
OddJob Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Still want the team to be a little cautious next week as there will still be the inevitable backlash after another horror showing from the Tims. Definitely think he needs to start Pawlett though as the Celtic full-backs have looked shaky as fuck. Link to comment
sheepiekev Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It's a reasonable question to ask.Had the beggars lost to Kilmarnock & Rankers beat St Mirren, then the league would've been over.However, the beggars comeback and the last gasp St Moron goal means they are still in it. We can NEVER be over confident going to Slumsville.... Hooper & Stokes have destroyed us too often to get cocky....and both we and they know it. Dont fancy Considine & Mawene to keep them out to be honest. Hope he keeps the same 11 injuries permitting.Get a feeling he might drop Fallon and bring in an extra midfielder? He might play Pawlett wide right and put Fyvie just off Vernon - a 4-4-1-1? Hope not, as they are a bombscare at the back. Hope we get in their faces from the first minute to the last and have a (sensible) go at them. Link to comment

We can definitely go into this game with more optimism than normal, he should just keep the same formation tbh. Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Commons is their main man IMO. He ran us ragged on a few occasions last season. Last season, when we didn't have Foster - he kept him very quiet (mistake apart) and needs to do so again. This team is a lot better than the one that took a few pastings last season - and now has a bit of confidence as well. Unfortunately, Scottish Football apparently needs to have the OF clear at the top of the table to make it an "exciting" league. On that basis, I can see us playing really well but getting a dodgy red card and a tight defeat. Link to comment
the_shrimp Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Rennes will pump them. We'll pump them. 3-0 the dandies. Foster hat trick. Link to comment
Henry Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Commons is their main man IMO. He ran us ragged on a few occasions last season. Commons has been hoop this season, and is severely overweight. He didn't make the bench for them on Saturday. Link to comment

Commons is a fat fuck (in footballing terms) this season, and is offering them a lot less than he did last year. Fallon needs to play. We need someone to keep it up top and try and relieve pressure. Ideally we have someone up there with him to try and create something. Not sure who though... Link to comment
ChookterDon Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It will be tough but we can get something out of this game. Stand Free Sent from my BlackBerry 9800 using Tapatalk Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 aye only cos he was still suspended? he is a mess this season though! Basing this on the games between us last season. I have no interest in Celtic except when they play us. ----- Anyway- I have a tattoo. All tinks have tattoos. Am I a Celtic fan? Link to comment
