Celtic vs Partick Thistle

[Romeo]

Glad we have a home tie. Not great performances recently.

 

I'll got 2 nil to the invincible treble, treble champions.

[Flybhoy]

This match clashes with a Belle & Sebastian concert at a vegan festival so probably a poor away support.

Will the Partick team even be able to get to the stadium..?

Aye, the 63 bus goes right along Garscube Road at 11 minutes past every hour.

Bless. They're all excited at playing the Jags again.

[H Wragg]

Looking forward to being the ones to scupper the quadruple treble. [emoji4]

[Hammer Jag]

Celtic will probably progress comfortably, yet the paupers will spend the next few days mewling about a penalty they were denied, arguing that this lends credence to the anti-Celtic, anti-Catholic conspiracy which has been in existence for decades. 

I trust that Tom Boyd will be discharged from Leverndale in time for the match.

[Walter]

A potential banana-skin for the Jags. We should therefore show the toothless, Labour-voting, manky mock-mick, euro laughing stock, east end shitehole dwelling, giro-cashing, undereducated, hummus-dodging, nasal-whining, self-pitying, bawbags the respect they deserve.

[Romeo]

Thistle lads getting the excuses in on the 1st page.

Decent effort.

[Chicken George]

Match day prediction: Celtic's filthy corrugated iron pigsty to fall down and do the rest of Glasgow a favour.

if we can sign Connor Sammon on some sort of "eat as you play" contract sponsored by Pizza Express for this match and this match only after him banging in 2 goals for us at Parkhead a couple of years ago in the cup that'd be nice. edit: in fact I think the first was from Doolan after a shoddy passback thinking on it

While we've tended to perform a bit better in the away games against Celtic than at Firhill over the past 8 years or so I'm still more or less resigned to never getting to celebrate a win over Celtic or Rangers in the rest of my lifetime since I started supporting Thistle, thanks to some kind of mental conditioning from watching us shit the bed against them so very often in the Archibald years.

happy enough if we can at least give Lennon a (not literal) bloody nose in the tie and keep it competitive. If nothing else hopefully the split gate can give Caldwell a bit of money to play with what with the rumours over the transfer budget being withheld til the takeover is sorted.

Ah well, least that's the team bus sorted

Aye, probably. 

[oneteaminglasgow]

Hopefully we bring in Gary Fraser on a one match loan for this.

[BillyAnchor]

new manager gives me a giddy feeling we could lose by less than 4

[Romeo]

Probably wholesale changes for this which always gives me the fear.

Probably Bayo up front, maybe a start for Rogic.

Looking forward to going though.

[Nightmare]

Wonder if McCall will be in the dugout for this one or just in the stands before starting properly on Saturday.

It probably doesn’t matter either way, I suppose.

[gannonball]

Hope to see a near second string side for this one and the likes of Shved and Rogic get some much needed game time.

Four four facking two with Bayo and Griffiths would be nice, although cant have a 2 in midfield if Rogic is starting.

[Romeo]

Lennon said in his presser there might not be that many changes.

Highly likely to be a lot of shite though.

[forameus]

Despite the positive feelings around Firhill currently with the Caldwell witch-burning now complete, I'm not sure how much you can change on 2 days notice, especially given it's only been four days since Dunfermline gave us a righteous bumming.  If Celtic want to, they could score as many as they want, so it really depends on them.  

I expect an absolutely horrendous game.  We'll have a spirited spell in the game that might see us cause a bit of an upset, before Celtic ultimately step up a gear and win something like 2-0.  "Free hit" is always a wanky thing to say, but have to admit this is very much one of those.  We'd rather the Harry Ramsden's Teacake Training Cup anyway.
