Adoniram 1,919 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 For me this is what will seperate us from the great unwashed.Smith v LennonSmith has been over the course so many times and knows how to handle the pressures of being an Old Firm manager on derby day.By my reckoning if the scum play the same team that beat United then they could have as many as 6 or 7 making their Old Firm debut.Now 1 or 2 you can coax through games but 6 or 7 is virtually unheard of.I think this is why Smith will play it very tight similar to Europe.Frustrate them and then change it midway through the 2nd half.Only Weiss in our main starting line up has no experience of this game and for that reason i expect him to be on the bench.

djbroxybear 660 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 My only concern for this game are...1. We come away from Valencia game injury free the team will more or less pick itself.2. We are up for it from the whistle.3. Willie Collum reffing this game, this guy is a bitter fenian bastard who works in a Catholic school as a teacher how he is allowed to ref this game is beyond me. He refd the sheep game recently enough said, he sent off Miller against Dundee Utd didnt overturn his decision meaning kenny missed old fim game, this guy has shown his colours big time i fear the worst with this guy in charge.WE ARE THE PEOPLE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoniram 1,919 Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 lennon beat us last time.The game didn't matter.This is his first pressurised Old Firm game where there is something vital at stake.The League was over by the time we played him last season.

PaulRFC1 115 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 big jig is the keyAmen Get Big Jig in the middle against Ledley and Ki who are not grafters or defensive minded midfielders and let him whack them.They have a powderpuff mifield with Scott Brown out and I think that will give us the win.Davis on form and Miller on form and we win I say.
