Richie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 33 minutes ago, MJC said: It was something that annoyed the hell out of me for years about our club. So many managers and players openly talked the club down and gave it the "we're punching way above our weight" guff and naturally large sections of the support bought into it. This current group are the exact opposite and as I said earlier, their confidence and complete disregard of how good Celtic are and what it means to them are infectious. I've not seen a feelgood factor quite like this around the club for as long as I can remember. There is no arrogance from us, just a confidence in our own abilities and that is absolutely magic. There was a similar feeling around the play-offs to be fair. For all his faults, Baraclough in his pre-match media was just saying we'd enjoy it and play our game. Can you imagine the patter going into that game under, for example McCall/McGhee. Beaten before a ball's kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Robinson, like Baraclough, was an 'outsider' and perhaps that helps. There's no connection with either of the Old Firm or pals within the Scottish media and therefore no desire to keep on the good side of either one of them.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. None of this deference shite in their heads. Respect, but don't fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girth Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Robinson’s signings should be emulated by McCann. I expect ‘well to push into the top six next season. Now, win that f**king cup! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are clear 2nd favourites here, but there is a belief and confidence coming from Stephen Robinson and his players and it is positively infectious. All we can do here is go out there and give everything we've got, play to our strengths and hope that on the day we are good enough to take advantage of any fortune that comes our way and exploit any weaknesses that Celtic may have in the day. We can't worry about Celtic here. We know they are a smashing side but our focus needs to be on ourselves. COYW Yes, you wouldn't want anyone playing down our chances before a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Really starting to look forward to this game tomorrow. I began as thinking it was a done deal for Celtic, but as the weeks have rolled on their performances have been fairly unconvincing - it's looking more and more like a potential banana skin for them...and Curtis Main seems exactly the kind of awkward forward that could just upset them... COTW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeMentalDavie Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Team will likely be Gordon, Lustig, Boyata, Ajer, Tierney, Forrest, Brown, Rogic, Ntcham, McGregor, Dembele I think it'll be a hard fought game but Celtic to have too much in the end and win 3-1.

wastecoatwilly Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Robinson has been great for the mighty well this season any player that lacks quality makes up in energy and wiliness to win,Main will be a handful for celtic's defence also thought Grimshaw was great in the semi-final,Kipre and Bowman provide the steel for the steelmen with Cadden and Tait have got that wee bit extra quality with a full week to prepare for this game it's not like the 3 games in a week the two teams had to play at the end of November with Celtic ending the week 5-1, so i expect a very tough 90 minutes for Celtic.Hope the ref has a quiet game and allows the game to flow,for me it could be a high scoring game looking for a 4-2 to Celtic with both teams up for it.

dezz Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Anyone know any Motherwell friendly pubs in Glasgow? I'm an Aberdeen fan but want to cheer on the good guys tomorrow The Shed are hosting a pre match party for Motherwell. While that’s all ticket I imagine the pubs around the Shawlands cross area will have a fairly healthy ‘Well contingent. That’s where I’m heading anyway.
