Davie Bhoy Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hmmmm not sure at all about this match. When Motherwell are in one of their 'in your faces' moods, which they seem to be just now, they are a difficult team to play against...especially at their own place. They are going well just now and with this being the last game before the split & their place still to be secured, they will be extra motivated to get something from the game. With most games though, I think it'll be more to do with how Celtic play. We just don't know what team will turn up. Will it be the one who can go out there and get a comfortable 4-0 going on 5 or 6...or will it be the one who you can tell after the first 5 mins are going to go through the motions and walk away with a draw or worse. Strangely enough, an Aberdeen win on Friday night might help us get a win on Saturday as I feel this Celtic team seem to do just enough to hit the bare requirement.

I think this is a fair comment. Celtic aren't a great side by any stretch, but they seem to be able to pull a result out when they really need to. Even if Aberdeen slip up on the Friday night, I think Celtic will grind out a win here to keep them on track for the title. If we are to get a Top 6 place, we'll need to rely on other results going our way. Motherwell 1-2 Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The media would be rubbing their hands & looking out the old 'cracked Celtic crests' again, while our more fickle fans will be putting pressure on the club ahead of the semi-final clash.

You CANNOT LOSE THAT. It would cause a rift in the space-time continuum which would release legions of the undead across the whole world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Utd beat Hibs, there's no way they would beat celtic, would probably beat rangers though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that was from both sets of fans, Green Brigade behind goal and the Motherwell Boys in that corner pre planned it for the tenth minute or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I can see us scoring two again but the result will depend on how many Celtic score. I think we can sneak a 2-2 draw. I can't make this due to the stupid early kick off making this the 6th season ticket game I've missed. For that reason I wouldn't be surprised if we won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 After the recent verdict on the play-off shenanigans, Motherwell have to be seen to be doing all they can to prevent issues so they can say - look, we did what you asked. Hence the fairly strange tweets. I can see why sponsors would want their adverts to be visible during a televised game so saying they can't be covered by banners is understandable.

thisGRAEME Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Aye that was from both sets of fans, Green Brigade behind goal and the Motherwell Boys in that corner pre planned it for the tenth minute or something I hope they do something again, the utter seethe it promoted from Motherwell fans was a delight. "HOW DARE THEY COMBINE WITH OTHER PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR VIEWS ABOUT A PARTICULAR ISSUE!". Sviatchenko being out for Celtic should be a giggle, Ambrose - Boyata - Mulgrew - Tierney is about as weak a back four as Celtic could play, presuming Blackett has been turned into Pritt-Stick. Boyata deciding to wear roller-skates instead of studs worked pretty well for us at Parkhead, I hope he does it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davie Bhoy Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Mulgrew & Tierney are not an issue. Big Efe is generally reliable for 4 out of 5 games. Good player on the ball. He just has that ability to switch off once...but it's not always as bad as people make out. Now Boyata is the one that worries me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the flag thing is pretty obvious, I had forgotten about the tennis balls being thrown on the pitch at a pre planned time by both sets of fans last game, found it amusing more than anything, being frisked for smuggling fuzzy balls in is a first at the football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efe is actually decent as a stand in right back, and the odd error there isnt as severely punished. Boyata has not been convincing at all this season, easily turned and muscled out of 50/50 balls and has a tendency like Efe to carelessly loose possesion in dangerous areas, he is prone as well to lunging into the back of players although in the games v Hearts and Dundee he was a lot better to be fair, hope I havent jinxed him by saying that, I'd imagine he and Mulgrew will be the centre half pairing tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the green brigade aren't shy about holding up games at their own midden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our fans shouldn't be joining in protest with the same mob who smashed that stand up two years previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
