As the Timalloy family head to England tomorrow, fully laden (groan hope the car makes it)
therefore I will not be on again until after the New Year, so can I wish ED007 and the bhoys/ ghirls on here a Happy, Healthy New Year.

PS somebody enquired who was getting our 3 tickets, too ease people's minds they are not going to waste, one of my mates has got two boys 10 and 12, he was made redundant in September so cannot afford many outings to see the bhoys, so he has our tickets which I know delighted the young uns, hope they enjoy their Celtic Park experience hail hail.

{Ed007's Note - Have a great time, Tim and give the Mrs & the girls me and the wife's best wishes for 2020.}

I like the look of balance of that team on sightings. However, tactically I'm not great when picking teams to play a certain way against certain teams hence the reason don't normally comment on team selections.

27 Dec 2019 18:37:31
Don't know why Forrest was omitted? However if we were to set-up in that formation, I would be happy enough as we need to win the battles all over the pitch - especially in the midfield.
Maybe along the lines of:-
Forster
Ajer Jullien Bauer
Frimpong Brown Ntcham McGregor
Christie Forrest
Edouarde

Although NL has a soft spot for Hayes in these matches, so that would mean no Bauer?

27 Dec 2019 19:09:00
No way McGregor should be taken out the engine room. Everytime we do it's a disaster. The guy adds all the energy to the midfield.

27 Dec 2019 19:22:59
100% Kev and we usually agree about as much as Martin McGuiness and the good Rev. Ian Paisley did.

27 Dec 2019 19:44:23
Forrest was probably omitted because in the 10 years he's been here i can count on 1 hand how many good games he's had against rangers or sevco. Hopefully on Sunday though he does turn up and play like he can.

27 Dec 2019 19:49:51
Sorry; That player list was not meant to be a set formation. Of course Cal-Mac is better in his natural role.

27 Dec 2019 21:22:34
Bauer at cb? You mad?

Calmac has only played 1 good game against the zombies. Behave yourself the boy has been superb in many of these games. Scoring some important goals.

Sorry read post wrong. Festive season still in system HH.

So bhoys is it the same team for Sun, or do we play Forrest on rw with Ryan at 10 and wee Mikey on Lenny, or go with ntcham and match there midfield because we k ow slippy likes a lot of midfielders.

27 Dec 2019 12:24:52
If there any change I think it will be 3 at the back. But I am expecting same as yesterday.

27 Dec 2019 13:22:48
I agree Kev; I think because of the winning run, he will stick with the same side that beat St Mirren. even though I am sure Sevco will have prepared and planned for this and a back three with a 5-1-1 in fron would probably give us an edge and push them back?

27 Dec 2019 14:08:06
Why not Christie in the middle with Taylor behind Bolingoli to keep the width on the left?

27 Dec 2019 14:40:50
Ntcham needs to step up on Sunday. No doubt about his ability but at times he looks quite lethargic and like a lot of time on the ball. We know exactly how that lot will play. The three in the middle will press in get stick in. We win the midfield battle, we win the game.

27 Dec 2019 15:58:49
I think we will start with the same line up as the St. Mirren game and then we will change to Plan B to step up a gear after Lenny’s normal 62 minutes and he will take Ntcham off and bring on Johnston.
If Ntcham does start, I hope he plays as good as we all know he can.

27 Dec 2019 17:15:27
Tbf iceman we didn’t win midfield battle in the final and still won 😂.

27 Dec 2019 17:15:33
He isn't a quick flowing player wants far too much time on the ball and when pressed his passes are so wayward. Much rather Christie in there Forrest on the right and if Hayes is back in contention then play him on LW in his favored position.

27 Dec 2019 19:05:43
My team would be

Forster

Frimpong Ajer Julian boli

Forrest brown McGregor Johnson

Christie

Eddie

Just think it gives us better balance throughout the team.

28 Dec 2019 05:45:32
Jaw1888 think that’s what Lennon’s first choice would be all depends on Johnston fitness is he ready to start that’s the question?

27 Dec 2019 09:08:18
Why did the flag go up that goal was brilliant? He brought that down and buried it well onside why do these linesmen cause these problems that goal was awesome lines man have to be aware and learn the rules every game they make mistakes all time it's a problem that causes concern where was the ref?

27 Dec 2019 09:57:08
Jinky are your allergic to full stops and commas?

27 Dec 2019 11:16:01
Ironic that there’s a question mark at the end! 😆😆.

27 Dec 2019 13:24:05
Was it 'red card, red card' Ross by any chance?

27 Dec 2019 14:54:46
Red card Red card Ross took pelters yesterday. Was inevitable how it was going to play out. Not sure about the offside but the corner kick he denied us was just cheating. He was 3ft away from it.

28 Dec 2019 18:07:19
Don't bag Kinky, he does that in one breath.

27 Dec 2019 07:49:06
Big julien was rattled had a stinker he wasn't right watched him crying and rolling about then he lost wasn't interested nearly got caught twice strange rebound don't know but he wasn't his normal self.

27 Dec 2019 08:33:06
Don't rate the lad. He's slow, turns like a double decker bus, for his height he should be bossing players and not rolling about. Boli needs a good talking to after rolling about holding his face as well.

27 Dec 2019 08:41:38
Need to know stop being pussys man up.

27 Dec 2019 11:45:30
That's my thoughts jinky, jullien is a big pussy. That's twice now he's been crying on the park, Livingston the other time. Big guy like that shouldn't be greeting.

27 Dec 2019 12:23:39
You don’t rate Julien? He is a great centre back needs to cut all that rolling around though.

27 Dec 2019 13:29:17
No doubting his ability and it's great having a CH that scores goals; but there are a few wee bad habits and his pain thresh-hold is even lower than Mikel Lustig's.
