Celtic vs Motherwell, today

rocko, any chance you could get this one up in the Live Sport section. As you know no access to Polstat in Wexford for the live home games. I thank you in advance. hi5

Just after waking up Bandage. Working on it now.

Right 90% sure that’s setup and ready to go - showing MUTV at the moment but should be Celtic Motherwell later.

Might be better options nearer kick off that I’ll look at.

rocko, I’m already on the live footy site here. They have a link to click on to get the Celtic game. As I’ve already downloaded the various programmes the time I watched the Hunfermline game when I was last home, does that mean the game should just pop up at 3pm? At the moment when I click on the Celtic link it unscrambles after a second or two and is showing EPL highlights of the season so far. I presume it’ll just revert to the 'Tic game at 3pm, yeah?

That’s exactly the case. The Live Sport link on this site is exactly the same as that one - it too is showing EPL games. Because you’ve already downloaded the software you are effectively just watching an Asian tv station.

Obviously you will watch the game through the Live Sport link and not off on someone else’s site though.

Getting an error msg when I click on the ‘Live Sport’ link.

Don’t have me go watch the game on another site, rocko.

Apologies - that has been fixed now.

Great work. Thanks.

Today’s team:

Boruc;
Caldwell; Pressley; O’Dea; Naylor;
Naka; Lennon; Hartley; McGeady;
Zurawski; Vinegar Hill;

Poor first half from Celtic. Failed to dominate or get any sort of authority on the game. McGeady started well but he’s lost it the last couple of times and the crowd reactions haven’t helped. Riordan has looked lively since he came on.

Pass marks to nobody except Naka, Aiden (bar the last 5 mins) and Riordan since he came on. Bar that they’ve been awful. Caldwell’s been woeful at right back and Hartley played one of the worst passes I have ever seen early on. Don’t blame the crowd for getting worked up. Nothing bar 2 or 3 pot shots isn’t good enough in 45 minutes against Motherwell.

Super goal.

Aiden from inside his own half, beating players, lay off to Naka, ball whipped into the box, nod down by Jan, slid home by Riordan.

Superb goal to take the lead. Good defensive work from Aiden who then broke, skipped a challenge and played inside to Naka. Naka showed good feet to get some space and then put in a delightful deep cross. Big Jan pulled off his man well and showed great awareness to cushion a header across the face of the goal for Riordan to finish.

Excellent move and shows how well we can play.

Riordan’s worth a run up front based on that. I see Strachan in the papers today saying he prefers to play on the left but he should be happy to play anywhere if it guarantees him a start in a Celtic jersey.

Some excellent pieces of play by Aiden and Naka too in the second half but overall that was a poor enough display and they’re stuttering towards the title. Hartley was a disappointment again and Gravesen surely deserves a game because drive and invention from the centre of the park was seriously lacking yet again.

We can’t keep relying on individual bits of trickery and imagination from Naka and Aiden as teams are just double and triple teaming them now. Big Jan still doesn’t look right at all compared to when he burst onto the scene with the goals against Hibs, Aberdeen and ManU. A good rest and a proper pre-season will hopefully see him come back stronger next season.

Same areas we discussed before need to be strengthened.
