High press, high tempo from the off, passion, closing down the opposition all over the pitch. But what will we see from United?

Listen to this fucking loser at 03:30 tell us already not to expect a result anything like the result we got last time.

Well Jim, sounds like there’s no much point in me showing up on Sunday, and thanks to you waving the white flag already, I won’t. Sounds like there’s no much point in you showing up in the dugout either, take the afternoon off and go sit in the stand with the Celtic fans like you usually do when they’re playing away from home.

 
"We're expecting a difficult game against a really good side."
That's sounds like a sensible thing to say in the circumstances.
Celtic are a much better side under O'Neil than they were under Nancy.

Genuinely not getting this anger from you.
All he's said is that this Celtic side is a different animal from Wilfred Nancy's side. He also said the team will be going all out to repeat the previous win.

By all means criticise when it's due but you seem to be searching for reasons to criticise the manager and the club just for the sake of it.

It's almost like you have an agenda no? 😎

 
He’s basically said there that since they’ve got a better manager now, not to go setting our expectations too high. Fuck, even Pressley across the road tries to have a go against the Old Firm, Hearts and Motherwell. Our manager looks defeated before a ball’s even been kicked. Whether O’Neill’s back or not, Celtic are absolutely shite, we shouldn’t be going into a game against them just now shitting bricks about what they’re gonna do to us, they have as poor a squad I can ever remember them having, there’s not one player in that team I’d be overly fearful of coming up against.

You’re correct, I absolutely do have an agenda; to push to get that loser out of our dugout now. His time here is up and he needs to be punted. Crowds are already on the wane and that will only continue if the club choose to stick with Goodwin and his antiquated style of football.

Do you think it’s acceptable that our manager goes and sits in the away end (not the directors box btw) of one particular side in the same league whenever he gets the chance?

As a parent who didn't spend enough time as I would have liked with my young son when working away from home I do have an element of sympathy that he wants to take his lad to the football. Life is short. One minute your boy is 12 and the next minute he's 17 and doing other things.
How many Celtic matches has Goodwin attended as a fan this season?

 
Regardless, it’s not appropriate for the manager of a Scottish Premiership club to be sitting in the away end of another club every other week. It’s not East Kilbride or Pollok Juniors he’s managing. There’s plenty other things he could be doing with his boy at the weekend than rabidly following a team he’s supposed to be competing against. Do you think Jim McLean would’ve snuck off to Ibrox to belt out the Sash when Rangers had a Sunday game? It’s fucking wrong and you know it is. A Scottish Premiership manager shouldn’t be doing that, no matter what their bairn wants.

And he’s been there fairly regularly, I’ve got a few Celtic supporting mates who’ve text to say they’d seen him at a good few games this season and last. He was sat right in front of them at Dens earlier this season.

Trapanovski out for the remainder of the season and possibly looking at surgery, so almost certainly played his last game for United. Och well.

Johnny Russell supposedly a doubt with a calf strain. Booh!

Craig Sibbald back in contention. Get fucked!

Alan Temple of the Courier on the Twa Teams podcast having a bit of a go at United fans saying the online criticism of Craig Sibbald is 'hysterical and not in the real world'

A classic example of a journalist being really out of touch with lifelong fans.

Said previously on here, he often comes across in a manner that his opinion holds more weight than that of United fans. Constantly having wee digs at supporters and accusing us of living in online 'echo chambers' etc etc.

Easy to be detached about United when the results mean nothing to you i suppose.

Haven’t bought that rag in years. They hate United. Would happily see them in ruins.

Camara on the bench yet Farrugia starts.

Watters starts.

I give up.

Edit to add, can't see JR listed in the squad

Russell has a calf strain apparently.  3 at the back what Joy

 
3 at the back isn't always a disaster if it gives you 3 midfielders eg 352 and it worked fine against Dundee but against Celtic you need two conventional fullbacks so a back 4. It's a back 3 today like you say 🙁
