Match Thread Celtic V Aberdeen (4 - 1)

[caledonia]

Also like to add i think we will take them but if we dont we need someone to take that cunt griffins out as he gets them a lot of points

[CalgaryDon]

We actually need another CB of the same quality as O'Connor - would be proper set for season in my eyes.

 

Anyway my ideal starting line up for most weeks (assuming everyone is fit) would be:

 

2-1 Aberdeen

Lewis

Logan O'Connor Reynolds Shinnie

Jack McLean

McGinn Burns Hayes

Rooney

[MMG]

I'm surprised the TV companies didn't want to show this. I'd have thought the best 2 sides in the country meeting would be of more interest than Kilmarnock v Rangers?

Only allowed to show each fixture once and they'd rather show the Dons winning the title at Parkhead early next year.

 

Nice one Millertime.

BT dont have the rights to any of the six (?) live league games from Parkhead apparently

if this is true this stinks of more bias towards the bigot brothers

they get a bigger home crowd than others that have their games shown therefore gain in more turnover

No club has more than six home league games shown live in a season.

 

Aberdeen had six last season. Celtic actually had just five home league games shown, but they had a home Cup match shown which made it six.

[True_Don]

I do think O'Conner will start in midfield...he brought on Taylor against Partick probably to give them time to work on this on a competitive game.

 

The unwashed are playing with a lot of pace up front, i worry for Considine at LB, Shinnie might get moved into their to counter the pace of Sinclair, Forrest etc.

 

if we can keep it tight, we absolutely can get something out of the game . their defence is pish and they lack height.

 

Play on the counter attack, get the set pieces sorted, they will not like it up them...for me

 

Lewis

 

Logan Taylor Reynold Shinnie

 

Jack O'Connor

 

Pawlett

 

Burns Rooney McGinn

[RTYD]

Given our pathetic record there I can't see anything other than a defeat.

[Poodler]

I expect were having a minutes applause for the family that died in the sea the other day?

The TV deal is totally ridiculously structured. What other league in the world would not have last season's 1st v 2nd on telly and show last season's 2nd bottom v promoted team in a half empty stadium?

Denmark.

It's a tough one but I'd probably agree with you. That's my first team preference.

 

Lewis

Logan O'Connor Taylor Shinnie

Jack McLean

McGinn Burns Hayes

Rooney

We're completely fucked if Lewis is to play so far wide.

[vanderark14]

It looks like he's fucked off to the pie stand near section Y for a pie

[ebbe]

Looks like he's right in front of the green brigade.

He better count his change

[strachanmcgheegoal]

He'd better get his arse on a bus to Glasgow or we're really fucked! (unless of course that is where section Y is at the tattiedome in which case my little play on words is rendered pointless)

[ollie1903]

Aye, that worked well.

It'll be a minutes Mexican Wave.

[Brochman]

It'll be a minutes Mexican Wave.

I am not in favour of minute's silence for these dreadful tragedies, and nor do I believe that there is no place for humour in the face of human misery, but to joke about the death of a child, marks you as a stupid, offensive and brainless lout.

[tightbreeks]

we should terrorise them, acting all mental before the game, shouting zika virus at "broony".

[Chewie37]

Calm down Brochman, the Hat has a specific brand of humour

[Lencarl]

Niall McGinn saying that Aberdeen are better in defence than Celtic...now they need to prove it on Saturday. They have come close in previous matches at Parkhead so maybe the time has come for a win. Will not hold my breath though.
