But sticking in a postponement request you know you wont get I thought initially for me seemed a bit pointless, then I saw the St.Mirren team line up and it was a fair better than I thought it would be. However all the pressure is off St.Mirren now anyway and for Celtic to win rather heavily after a load of games and 11 players out. Park the bus and let the pressure on them build even more if the dont score early. Or have I given Goodwin way too much credit for this? Nah, you’re just making a clown of yourself!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Ewan Murray @mrewanmurray Jim Goodwin: “The powers-that-be wanted the game to go ahead by hook or crook, so much so that they have bent the loan rules in allowing us to bring six under-18 players back from loans to bulk up the squad.” Interesting in context of how teams could get games postponed. 9:03 PM · Dec 22, 2021 615 Repl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I really enjoyed that, especially the second half once we'd got to the point we clearly weren't going to get pumped. Was listening to Jim on the way home about how most of the "first teamers" only came out of isolation this morning, that they'd had no time training or preparation for the match, and some of the boys had never met the first team players before, and under those circumstances that was really a bit special tonight. The league actually had to break their own rules to make is bring loan players back? Bet they wished they hadn't. The 7 minutes of injury time where Celtic failed to threaten in any way against a team that were practically at walking pace made it even sweeter. Back three were colossal. Lyness superb. Reid was brilliant in the middle with Kiltie, and the two young boys on the wings snapped away and carried just enough threat on the wings to at least cause a few scares. Well done lads! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InterestIngly (not comparing before you go off on one) we also started a player playing in the lowland league the other week as well. Please just give this up now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastecoatwilly Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Credit to St Mirren for getting a point must've been a real hard week for Jim and his backroom staff. The boy Henderson looks a player you always get at least one stand out hopefully he will get more chances after tonight. Only problem with the Celtic performance tonight was a goal,it's always easy to point the finger of blame set pieces, final ball, Johnston was shite,Abada wasn't good enough. Very similar to the Livingston game at home, dropping points takes Celtic under the 100 points total. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddie Holly Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 im hearing from my gallowgate mole that an appeal will be going in from celtic about tonight’s game they are not happy that two of our players had no name on the back of their jersey st mirren say they will plead not guilty to the charge but it’s expected they will have to forfeit the game,be hit with a 20 point deduction and fined £1 million although,to be fair,£500 of that is suspended until the end of the season major bookmakers responded by keeping st johnstone favourites for the drop in other news-the wig and pen closed early tonight -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Terrapin Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 This result has given me as much satisfaction as my own team's win over Aberdeen. The footballing authorities desperate to bend the rules to accommodate 'the big two' as they wouldn't be able to handle the pressure from them if the two games were called off and treating St Mirren with contempt. Celtic thinking they'd walk it with talk of cricket scores. Well done St Mirren brilliant stuff and to think we sacked a manager whose second to last game was a plucky draw with a full strength Buddies team. Big Angeball's 4xxxl jaikit must be on a shoogly peg. It's nights like these I'm glad the ugly sisters are in this league and not the Vauxhall Conference so we diddy team's supporters can laugh like f**k at them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t get the amount of people saying this tbh. Yes St.Mirren were down to the bare bones but they met the criteria that I think everyone agreed to. Going against it would have been a nightmare for almost certain similar situations ahead and effectively you are asking for a rule change half way through a season.

Going against it would have been a nightmare for almost certain similar situations ahead and effectively you are asking for a rule change half way through a season.The SPFL, in their desperation not to upset a big team, bent the rules. Only then did we meet the criteria. Even then we hadn't trained since last week and it was late afternoon before two players were freed from self-isolating.There's not a chance in hell that the game would have gone ahead if it had been yourselves in that predicament. Also, I heard that Rogic was booked for ungentlemanly conduct, as he told Keiran Offord that Santa isn't real. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
