Match Thread Aberdeen 1 - 3 Celtic

[ebbe]

Lewis

 

O'Connor Reynolds Considine

 

Logan Hayes

 

Jack. Shinnie

 

McLean

 

Stockley Rooney

 

Team for the final, bombard the cunts with an aerial assault. Hopefully the sitters fall to Rooney.

[alscotoz]

Would be good if we were in a position to move Shinnie to LB and Considine into CB. Doesn't sound like it though?

[shut up meg]

Whats the point in turning up when the gruesome twosome get all the decisions?

That is the 4th or 5th time that Gordon has wiped out a striker and not been penalised.

If we had scored a 2nd, you never know how the game could have panned out.

The refs are corrupt/inept/cowards. Whatever combination, it doesn't reflect well on them and Scottish football.

 

The worst thing is that the plastics think that they are persecuted.

They are part of the establishment.

[King Street Loon]

I think Celtic target Considine at left back as a glaring weakness, every time. And it clearly works.

 

I'd consider not playing him at left back in the cup final.

He's always been a target for Celtic in all the years he's been in the first team at either left back or centre back..

His lumbering running style is a match made in heaven for Celtics pacey wingers and centre forwards.

It would have been a very weak pen IMO

 

I wouldn't have given it .

 

Shinnie ran into Gordon, more than anything else .

[Tord31]

Would like to see us try something different against them

to make them think ahead of the final. Long ball could be one suggestion. Jack & Christie out.

 

Lewis

 

Logan Taylor Reynolds Considine

 

O'Connor

 

McLean Shinnie Hayes

 

Stockley Rooney

 

subs: Alexander, Pawlett, McGinn, Storey, Wright, Ross, Mbayo

prediction: 2-2

crowd: 16,900

So I think the long ball troubled them to an extent but Stockley is shit. If everyone is fit in the final any chance we can afford to play McLean as the target man?

How can that be in a 50/50 ball that BOTH players are advancing on?

 

Fact is that Shinnie gets ball (regardless of where the ball goes after) & Gordon doesn't touch it but obstructs the player from continuing.

 

It wasn't deliberate but it was a foul.

 

Admittedly Gordon has gotten off with a hell of a lot worse this season (& last) but he escaped being penalised yet again all the same

[redstrummer]

Im sure i saw the shaved ape and cohorts 8n upper rds.

Guy behind me seemed more concerned with the clubs electricity supply. Spent whole game shouting " switch"

"Switch it ", yeh he's a right beaut

Not buying that, any where else on the pitch it's a foul, any other team in the league it's a pen.

Ref bottled it because he probably didn't want to phone the glaziers today.

I watched it from a few angles on the TV last night.

Shinnie wasn't getting the ball , he then made an effort to clash with Gordon

It looked contrived to me.

Will have to watch it a few more times to change opinion , if it's posted somewhere.

[The Lighthouse]

If Chris Sutton confirms it should have been a penalty I think we can safely assume it ought to have given.

 

As others have said it is not the first time Gordon has taken out a player and got away with it.

[1903Fitba]

Anybody saying Hayes at left wingback needs a slap.

 

We have literally 0 attack without him.

Eh?

 

He wasn't getting the ball........ how can that be when he actually DOES get the ball?

[King Street Loon]

Best beard on the street?

 

Yes that would have been me, patiently waiting for my free ticket.

It did indeed seem to be the best beard and the most cared for.

[shut up meg]

Would a free kick have been given if Gordon had got to the ball first and shinnie clattered Gordon? Of course it would.

[fine-n-dandy]

Don't get me wrong I'd have been pissed off if they'd gotten a penalty at the other end for it (which they most likely would have) but it was a penalty IMO albeit very soft but keeper makes contact/stops player by means of obstruction without touching the ball & Shinnie gets ball but cannot get passed the keeper (regardless of whether he'd have caught up with ball again) to continue after the ball.

 

Similar to last week in the Caley game. Keeper takes player & not ball & it was a clear penalty that wasn't given.

[tup]

Considine unfortunately looked like a complete donkey last night.

 

They will be relishing more space to run at him from at Hampden.

 

I think we need to seriously consider a full back with more pace and mobility or exactly the same capitulation will happen again.

[Dunty]

Yeah, Considine FUCKING shite..

Cringe

[DelMonte]

I thought Considine was no worse than Logan. Fuck knows how everyone is deciding Logan played well last night. Sinclair dragged him all over the place first half and he had no idea what to do.

[tup]

At least Logan can sort his feet out when an attacker is running at him at pace.

 

Considine was flapping all over the place. Celtic have done him time and time again.

 

They don't target Logan in the same way, for obvious reasons.

[Guest milne_afc]

Reynolds was a total embarrassment at the second goal.

Agree with Titch though, Considine is way out of his depth against them (fine against the dross tbf).

[redstrummer]

Thought O Connor had a good game , could we leave him there in the middle if Jack is fit for the final and put Shinnie back to left back. Considine to replace Taylor

Nae sure. He backed off Sinclair and let him get a shot on goal from close range in the second half which was embarrsssing. To be fair to him, it was right after he was fucking about with the Celtic fans which made him lose his head.

[tup]

Aye and Logan has been steady in big games for us.

 

I have lost count of the Considine horror shows in this fixture.

 

FFS we once got up at 3am to travel to Glasgow for a semi, Celtic targeted Considine, he got red carded, and we got thumped.

 

Here we are 5 or 6 years later and it's still happening. Quite clearly spoken about as a weak link in the Celtic dressing room.

[Shinniesta]

Only problem with Considine replacing Taylor is that we would be playing with two left footed centre backs. Plus anytime Considine has played at centre half against Celtic he has been every bit as bad as Taylor. Would be interesting to see him paired with O'Connor though. If Jack and Pawlett both recover in time we could possibly line up as follows:-

 

Lewis

Logan O'Connor Considine Shinnie

Jack McLean

McGinn Pawlett Hayes

Rooney

 

But realistically if he is fit Taylor will play in the final. Unfortunately.

[dj_bollocks]

But realistically if he is fit Taylor will play in the final. Unfortunately.

 

And I guarantee we'll be bemoaning the fact that he'll have fucked up again... possibly more than once...

 

Can't wait to get rid of the #fud

[Reed or deed]

This is indeed the truth.

 

Playing Hayes at left back is sacrilege..

If someone see's fine walking around Aberdeen between now and the cup final they could always kick him square in the shins and run off

[vanderark14]

I wouldn't have Ryan jack near this final, he's more afraid of Celtic than McGinn is. Scott brown just needs to look at Jack and Jack will poop his pantaloons

[vanderark14]

On his way from the dressing room to the ring to fight Mike Tyson, Frank Bruno passed one of the stadium security attendants who later said that he had never seen such fear on a fighter's face. Bruno was beaten long before he stepped into the ring. He was psychologically shot.

And the trouble with fear is that there is no cure.

The same goes for AFC, you could see the body language in the tunnel prior to the league cup final. The Tims were ready and knew they could win. Our team were scared with heads down, I remember the same at the semi finals where the Tims battered us, can't remember the exact years but they were recent semi finals.
