Re: today
As silly as it may sound, is it against the rules or sporting integrity to play two goal keepers and eight defenders with one floating forward? 
Hear their shout, hear their roar
They've probably had a barrel of ale and much, much more
Hooray, hooray, hooray, yeah

Re: today
Formation served us pretty well there last season. No sure eh could fault Rado for more than one goal, perhaps.

Re: today
Said it to EKarab during the match,i would sacrifice the free flowing sexy ultra modern 4231 for a bit of 'meat and potatoes' defending fae the front.If that means putting the fucking baw in row Z anytime it's anywhere near our box,SO BE IT.
We are far too open against them and get picked aff sooo easy it's embarrassing at this level.
Would help if we could even remotely defend a set piece mind.We could play any formation going but if we can't defend bread n butter baws intae the box,we may aswell no bother turning up.
Pissed aff wi that today and our absolute capitulation there as per.
Wee Jim would have them in tomorrow just running in the pissing rain for 2 hours.And rightfully so.

Re: today
Years ago a rumour was printed in the Final Hurdle that at a PFA awards do pissed up Walter Smith accused Wee Jim and Utd of lying down to Celtic whilst playing out of their skins against der Hun. Wee Jim told him that he was at Utd long enough to know nothing untoward ever went on at the club. Walter apparently had to be ushered away (before Wee Jim lamped him?). I don't believe its deliberate, but we are absolutely shite 9/10 at Parkhead and must have fewer wins there than about 10-15 other teams, whilst having conceded some amount of goals. Its fucking dreadful.
Too much commotion

At set pieces/crosses our players looked like fucking hand grenades were being lobbed at them.

Re: today
Quite often it seemed we had no right back and they had two.men spare on that side. Not acceptable defending.

5 of the goals came fae our right hand side.
It is a position of the park where we are notoriously weak and any good Manager worth his salt will have pointed this out to his players before playing us.

Re: today
Was reading on Utdmad and tactics relating to pitch size was a discussion which made me wonder.Parkhead looks wide and long on TV but that might be influenced by the high up camera position. According to the Scottish football ground guide only the fun have smaller in both dimensions. Can that be right?
