just been thinkin a bit more about this and another gesture of respect could be, if every player in the SPL takes P OD's name and number for their shirts for the games on saturday.

has to be a silence for me, it's the only way to show respect, and maybe if whoever gets a goal, could do what faddy done and make a wee gesture to the armband, which i thought was a nice touch.

absoluley floored by this news, i really cant believe it, i've always had a soft spot for motherwell coming from wishaw, and have watched PO play numerous times, 35 years of age, 4 children and a wife left behind, such a waste of life, RIP Phil and my thoughts are with your family at this very difficult time, a very sad day for our game

if velicka plays 2-2 if he does'nt 2-0

one man strikes fear into me for saturday, and if he does'nt play, we'll win comfortably, it's velicka, and i only hope he's sidelined for the entire game, otherwise, we have problems.

you arent a stand up comedian by any chance are you :lol: sounds like something straight out of terrorist minded very funny pal i know some will never accept this, and it really is a struggle for me to concede it too, but in my experience, there is just something i cant put my finger on that we lack compared to them atmosphere wise on a big game evening, and if we could just find it, i reckon we would do well.

listen chaps, dont rip me to shreds here, but, as my mrs is as die hard a tim as i am a bear, last year for her birthday, she wanted to go to the man u game, which i begrudgingly had to go with her, and IMHO i can see why the mhanks call it fortress, as i honestly have not felt an atmosphere like it in all my time at ibrox, the sheer wall of sound is (and i say this choking) awe inspiring (maybe it's the accoustics of the stadium) and just unlike our own home, and since that experience, i've been somewhat envious of the bassa's, and if we could only get ibrox to the same level, i'm sure we would be doing just as well, p.s i had a man u top on under my coat that night and aroused suspicion from the guys beside us when they scored and my head went to my hands, and then i nearly blew up when they got the penalty and nearly cried when they missed it, the things we do for love

, we should have sat back and let them come at us with everyone in our half for the entire game, cos i knew if we went at them, the result was foregone, and it happened. and i thought walter smith was negative lol we simply cannot compete against continental teams with an attack minded shape, and it was proved 100% last night, and i just dont see how anyone with half a clue about our game cant see it staring them in the coupon.

my feelings exactly, we only changed to 4-4-2 when we went a goal behind, and HAD to score, but should WS have started with this shape, we would have been absolutely pumped in 15 minutes flat, i said last week, we should just sit back and defend the 0-0, but we could'nt even manage that, so there's no point in whinging when we cant stick to a tactic that proved successfull against a far superior team that was barca, we should have sat back and let them come at us with everyone in our half for the entire game, cos i knew if we went at them, the result was foregone, and it happened.

utter PISH, people who leave early i'm sure have a very good reason to, and at 2-0 down with 2 minutes to go, i can clearly see why some people would leave, as leaving 2 or 3 minutes early can be the difference in getting home by an hour to some, the early leavers pay the same fuckin money as you to watch, and sit in the same fucking freezing conditions, so dont fuckin sit there spouting high and mighty crap just cos a few peeps decided to hit the road a few minutes early ESPECIALLY as we were getting pumped rotten, people like you never fuckin fail to amaze me.

try dundee united hibs and hearts, and a draw with motherwell,and we are up against a poor celtic team,plus can you honestly say, that we play good football? and i hated plg, but walter has taken us to the same place the last 32 of the eufa cup. completely agree, and hertz on saturday aint going to be a walkover, specially with the players we are missing, fair enough we have 2 games in hand in the league but with the scum going into the january window with cash to splash and some of thier key players due back, i fear we have much ground to make up come may, we are a poor team, average at best and there can be no complaints about the result last night due to being totally outclassed, and someone mentioned switching to 4-4-2 last night and it giving us more chances, but do you really think, we would'nt have been carved open and torn apart had we done this at 0-0, we would have been slaughtered had WS gone for this from the start, as lyon always had another gal in them had we scored, IMO, we have reached a total stalemate with this team, and being honest, the only cup we have a chance with this season is the diddy cup, as much as i hate to admit it, things need to change and i dont know how ar what, but without cash to spend, we're fucked proper.

Exactly make that, pumped, oot and we'll never live it doon

oh dear

oot and we'll never live it doon

Have faith Muff,if JKD can't make it,Im sure big Cousin won't let us down,never has in Europe so far. True, PB, but I hope we have 2 up front vs Lyon. 2 up will be suicidal, we need to remain defensive throughout the entire game and try and snatch one on the counter, cos if we go 2 up and expose ourselves in either flanks or through the middle, we will get slaughtered, for me it's 5-4-1 and no other set up will do.

that would be suicidal with lyons quality, we must set out sefensive and remain defensive throughout the 90 and hope we can get the ball to hutton on the wing to let him break with his pace, failing that, we need to sit tight and ride the storm for that oh so valuable point, cos any other formation will have us slaughtered.
