Muz333 361 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 This point has already been raised but don't think for one minute that McCall will let his team stand down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerfc2010 4 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 I was thinking that actually, what with mcCall being a bluenose, thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooler 4,509 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I already made a thread about this - it may be in Killie's interests as well for us to win the League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,751 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 If we have any hope, we have to hope they drop points away to Inverness and Hearts or the Home game V Dundee UTD, all possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raligt 2,541 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I don't think Motherwell (even if they tried) would take points off them.I think we are looking to Dundee United, Hearts or Inverness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgradeBear 27 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think McCall will rightly rest a few key players but those coming in will have a freshness and a nothing to lose attitude which might work in our favour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertN 394 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Motherwell may yet be challenging for europe in the league hearts are faltering and still have to play the top two while motherwell are on a great run of formso it may be they need a victory against them for third Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayWestFree 107 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 No chance Stuart McCall will send his team out to lose or draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILL.I.AM 18 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 can't see us winning the league now anyway, yesterday was a must win game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRodgA2k8 542 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 No chance they will be lying down, believe me, they will be playing for their final places. They hardly want to go to Parkhead and lose before the cup final now do they? Confidence damaged and doubting whether they can beat Celtic in the final, sure European football guaranteed there but they will know that a win away will do their confidence wonders and dent that of Celtics before the final.That's the one thought that I have in my head and I think it makes sense.Tho...if you thought McCall was already a legend...think about if he managed to change the direction of the Helicopter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebooler 4,509 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 can't see us winning the league now anyway, yesterday was a must win game.I think the league was lost when we let Dundee Utd beat us 3-2. (I hope tae fuck am wrang!!!!!)I still shudder at the thought of a professional football team not leaving at least one player back when we had that late corner, from which they scored their winner.By all means go for the win, but I said that day and I still say it, that was the lost point that could make the difference of us winning or losing the league.It wisnae a cup game so a draw should have been considered by the team as a point gained, considering how well Utd actually played aganst us.

JRodgA2k8 542 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think the league was lost when we let Dundee Utd beat us 3-2.Agreed mate, IF we lose the league that's the game we will look back on no doubt.So frustrating to up twice in the game also and lose...Even a draw could ultimately have cost us but would have put us in a slightly more favourable position than we find ourselves now.Right now we need them to lose a game, 1 draw is not enough sadly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmond7 1,224 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The other problem with Mothewell last game is they also have the cup final, will McCall rest players for that? I don't know why, it's probably just sheer stupidity but I still have a good feeling about the league. If we had lost it would have been all over and I think we will look back at the moment Shagger saved that penalty as the moment we won the league.Or perhaps not. But you never know.

Caddy 7 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Meh. I don't think any team will stand down against any one of the old firm teams. A result for any of them against any of us is always a good one, and they'll always try to beat the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM1872 3,776 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The big Motherwell supporter that is Tam Cowman brought it up in his "column" in Saturday's DR. Telling Rangers fans that his side will lie down to Celtic on the last day. Wee cretin he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
