minstral 5,375 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Did you see him with the hands over the face near the end of the game. He was scared to look and like the rest of us was feeling the pressure, i just kept wishing that the time would fly by as the old ticker was ready to burst.

pcbear 10,932 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Big puff of the cheeks at 93 mins, 2-0 seemed like yesterday, it was a long second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I was wanting the full time whistle to come after 25 minutes. The 2nd half was a struggle, and I can't remember being that nervous before. Thankfully we held out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see Wattie sending Durranty down with instructions and thumping him on the back! We all know how he feels eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd half was a struggle, and I can't remember being that nervous before. Thankfully we held out I felt the same roundabout the 30minutes mark, the 1st half seemed to drag in.

Muff 245 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Once the 2nd goal went in I actually thought we were going to give them 4 or 5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntled_bear 157 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 We should have pumped them 4 or 5-0 after going 2 up, they were shocked even the Celtic support went completely silent. We went for the cautious approach and decided to defend our lead, I'm just glad that decision didn't backfire on us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 358 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Once the 2nd goal went in I actually thought we were going to give them 4 or 5. We really should have. I was annoyed with the change of shape because it put the game into their hands instead of us giving them a humping, but thankfully they're utter pish & couldn't do anything with the opportunity we gave them.

We were lucky that Maloney is absolutely toilet. Excellent game today, over all, he's still not good or consistant enough. One good game doesn't take away all the bad ones.

Kenny Miller was excellent today, but's he's still far too inconsistant, and alway's will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I've read from you this afternoon is negativity - I'd just like to remind you we won the game 2-1 with a team that was missing 2 key players and McCulloch from the starting eleven. To make matters worse we then lost another 2 players from open play due to injury but despite all of this Walter Smith still guided the team to victory. His record against them is incredible but people like you are always looking for any excuse to have a go at him. IWWT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
