Match Thread Aberdeen V Celtic

[strachanmcgheegoal]

I'm going for a very very surprising 0 - 0 draw, not had one of them home or away against em since Boxing day 1994.

Happy with this or LGIR's 1-1. I'll be there cheering for the win obv.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Who will you be supporting on Saturday? You must be torn between the dons and your fenian brethren.

Yes indeed.

 

Surely you can sympathise however?

 

I know what a quandry you find yourself in, everytime we get drawn against Shirt Lifters Utd in one of the cups.

 

EDIT - I will probably plump for the dons on this occasion.

[Robbie Winters]

We are the most consistent inconsistent team around

 

4-3 The Dons

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Ha ha. Bang on.

 

2-1 the dons with an Ash Taylor winner. Radio Scotland to spend 87.69% of next weeks chat show discussing why we always raise our game against the old firm.

 

Celtics '1' to be a penalty from Griffiths blatantly backing into Lewis at a corner.

[The Lighthouse]

Drop Reynolds, put Considine in beside O'Connor, move Shinnie to Left Back and get Jack back into midfield

Spot on - players need to be used in their best position and Reynolds is not playing well enough to stay in the team.

 

I just hope we don`t go ultra defensive and keep Maddison on the bench (as against Sevco) because we will hand the game to Celtic.

 

We need passion, urgency and to get in their faces straight from the kick-off

[tup]

The exact opposite of what Ross County are doing with Celtic reserves, showing them far too much respect, pathetic.

[the sheep]

If Jacks ready then lets get him back in protecting the defence and building from the back and push McLean further forward along with Maddison. Get Shinnie back into left back to stop Considine getting done for pace. That's our best team all playing in their best position. Tell the team to close them down in midfield and defence and give them no opportunity to build from the back. Lets get at them. Dress rehearsal for the final lets see if we can beat these fuckers and not sit in and hope they have a bad day.

[Lencarl]

Celtic and their supporters are getting carried away by the hype. They are heading for a fall and Saturday will be the day it happens.

 

Aberdeen 3 Celtic 1

[RUL]

40 points at this rate

[BWG]

If we win it'll be 2-1 us because we're not capable of any other winning scoreline against them.

[McPhee123]

Needs nobody to bottle it, the ref not to "pull a Gollum" and McInness to put the right team out, and we're in with a shout.

 

Don't think we even need Celtic to neccesarily have an off day to get a result at home.

[alscotoz]

The title race will be over after Saturday's game. 0-2, maybe 0-3.

[Dynamo]

The title race will be over after Saturday's game. 0-2, maybe 0-3.

 

There is no title race this season.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

We will win 1-0 in the league and then be really pumped up for the Cup Final.

 

Then we will get hammered 4-0 in the Final.

Aye I wish folk would stop deluding themselves. Cringy as fuck when folk start wanking away before top 6... 'if we win there and they lose we will catch them' then we have our usual top 6 collapse.

 

We aren't closer but we can give them a game. We're more inconsistent than them. The end.

 

This. No title race as such unless they themselves choose to fuck it up. In the absence of Rodgers being poached and they re-sign the Norwegian fuckwit their only influence will be who they eventually ship points to as lethargy inevitably creeps in. To be honest, their fanbase (if not their boardroom) will simply not allow it against the hun just now and that has to be in our favour. Cracking battle for 2nd-5th though in which we quite rightly are favourites.

Rodgers teams are always prone to a blip. He speaks so much shite, he'll end up turning some of the dressing room against him.

Thanks... just what I needed to read right now...

[Guest RosemountRed]

Not up for this match at all.

I wish we could cling onto Celtic this season like we have the last 2. I've quite enjoyed kidding myself on that we might actually run them close.

 

Nae chance this year.

[tommo1903]

seeing my old man for the first time this year, this weekend. Gutted he wants to go to this.

 

Daddy issues.

Explains a lot.

[Lencarl]

 

Aberdeen are ranked the best club in the Scottish Premiership to go to if you want to further your career.

 

 

Few managers use the loan system as effectively as Derek McInnes.

In the past three seasons, the Dons gaffer has unearthed gems which have helped establish the Pittdorie side as the second force in Scottish football.

What sets McInnes apart is ability to bring in both young talent and experienced pros which has resulted in two consecutive second place finishes and a League Cup triumph.

Just a pity we can not afford to sign them for a few years.

We could... trouble is, you would need a lot of things to happen simultaneously:

 

- Bodgers to have some sort of Ronny-style meltdown, and the players stop listening to him;

- Someone in the EPL wafts £10m at them in January for Dembele which they have to accept, and don't have time to source an adequate replacement;

- Thumb gets injured and is out for the season;

- Craig Gordon actually murders someone on the pitch, and even the SFA are forced to conclude that he may have gone too far this time and he gets banned for the remainder of the season;

- Scott Brown reveals that he self-identifies as a transgender black lesbian bisexual feminist, and immediately heads off to the States for gender and personality realignment surgery.

 

Those last two are only slightly less realistic than the others.

Roberto wins the Euro Millions when it peaks at 160 million and gives Aberdeen 50 million to spend on players.

 

Bet we'd still finish 2nd and not win at the tattie bowl

The SFA are hand in glove with the masonic judiciary and would undoubtedly seek to ban him for the rest of the season unless the murdered victim was a working class catholic. Where's the justice in that?

 

Broon's agent has wisely ruled out surgery and has entered his man into the next series of Strictly where he will be carried to victory on a tide of lgbt fervour, provided an anti-catholic voting conspiracy doesn't get in the way.

[Mr John]

Rooney struggling a bit for tomorrow it looks like.

 

Hopefully just a niggle.

Source?

[strachanmcgheegoal]

His niggle being "Give us some fucking crosses to work with you disorganised rabble"

[Mr John]

McGinn will score tomorrow.

Aye, then he'll need to do some hail marys after.

 

If anybody wants to do the "hairy males" joke to follow that up, please proceed. I promise I won't go full Peter Tatchell on you.

[dave_min]

McGinn will score tomorrow.

 

For which team?
