Crawford had the chance to make the foul and take the yellow but chose to try and stare out the opposition as he always does. Agree about Crawford, if that's any other player we retain the ball.

Pat McGroin Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Just now, Broggy Man said: I agree no attacking threat till we went two up top It was so obvious. Last season, we were all over the place defensively but we are not now. That back 3 is very decent. The amount of times we gave them possession in the first half was insane, or cleared the ball 25 yards from goal to a Celtic player. We got lucky there, but the difference when May came on was evident, I’m genuinely sick to leave that with nothing, and I’m certain every one of those boys on the park will be feeling the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 We showed very little ambition or attacking intent until the subs came on and we moved to two up front. Quite predictable really. Sickening end to the match. Broggy Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to lose to a knock… sick we should have set up the way we played second half. I feel sick just remembering that Hampden game. Might actually be the worst match I ever attended. Deep depression! Celtic/Rangers matches..... you get cheated, that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, that game plan should have lasted 30 mins tops, before we switched to the second half style. You can’t hang on for that long and we got lucky for a bit. But hell… we lost due to Drey taking a knock. No more, no less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an easy one... Certainly not Crichton who immediately lost any and all respect I could have for her as a pundit by saying if we held for 1-1 it'd be our biggest result in 6 years...............

I thought Ali used the ball very well today We can afford the luxury of a player whose game is restricted to just using the ball well. His positioning has been poor every time I've seen him and his workrate doesn't seem to match the rest of the team. scott1982 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBored Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 The plan almost worked. Stay in the game until the last 15 mins and then go a bit more for it. Slightly lucky to still be in it by then but certainly asked questions of Celtic and deserved the goal. Late goal a bit of a sickener, but really with that little time left, we should be able to defend that much much better. Surprised Crawford came on and not Wotherspoon given his need for game time. Thought Max did well in the time he was given. We really need to improve our passing. First half in particular was just punting the ball anywhere...no one taking the ball and taking the time to find a pass to a team mate.

We showed in the last 15 mins we can play football ,we can pass a ball and we can score. If only Davidson would let them. To lose in the 6th minute of 5 minutes injury time is a sickened. Unfortunately that extra minute was for the ref allowing their player to tie his laces. Is that in the rules ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejksjfc Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 First and unfortunately foremost at the end of the day we cannot say that the final result was a true reflection of how the game went. However...... Giakoumakis (a weegie Ryan Porteous) had at least 3 dives which were worthy of yellow cards so therefore should not have been on the park to score. True, the resultant fouls never came to anything but he should not have been there. I don’t think in all my football watching life except when Kane (the evil one) scored at Hampden have I gone from such a high to such a low in the space of 2 minutes. ps my apologies again to the people in “Tilly’s Bar” in Torremelinos for my justifiable outburst of emotion when we scored. ps...again if we play like that all season we will be closer to top 6 than relegation. ps.......again, for any of my friends who have any allegiance to Celtic it is results like that, that win championships. I am now going to go and getter pushed ......COYS south inch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then walked away and went over to take a drink and never took part in any warm up after that. Was surprised when he started but he had a decent game but was caught in possession a few times when a pass was on. Crawford more to blame for being brushed off the ball for the second goal .I think it probably should have been Wright and not Brown that was subbed.

templeofsaints Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Gutted to lose that. Thought we'd done enough in the 2nd half. Some excellent performances today - Mitchell outstanding. Thought wee Max did ok as well. May look like he's got his hunger back again. Was really unlucky with the shot that hit the post. Hallberg was more of a worry he was well off the pace for most of the game and didn't look fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Apparently Kevin Clancy was to be the ref today. Anderson was ref in the Hibs game when he sent off Muzz for a tackle on Portious. Anderson looks like a ref that goes with the crowd. We even got a couple of fouls cause of crowd reaction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 8, 2022 Report Share Posted October 8, 2022 Should have seen that out at 1-1. Had plenty of opportunity to shut down the attack and just didn't deal with it. The fact Saints came so close to getting a point shows you what a different side we have this season. It's maybe partly because Celtic not at their best just now but the game plan worked and was impressed Saints actually went for it in the last 10-15 mins.

I haven't said that it was a wholly bad decision to go with that gameplan. Ultimately I was pleased with the second-half and gutted for the team in the closing minutes.
