Match Thread (Scottish Cup) Aberdeen 0 - 3 Celtic

[Tord31]

The wait is nearly over!

 

Injured/Suspended: Hoban, fRoss, Logan, GMS & Shinnie

 

I'd expect DM will pick this line up but personally I probably rejig the defence to get Ball in midfield

 

Lewis

 

Ball Considine McKenna Lowe

 

Ferguson Campbell

 

McLennan Stewart McGinn

 

Cosgrove

 

subs: Cerny, Halford, Devlin, Gleeson, Wilson, May, eRoss

prediction: clean sheet & first ever McGinn winner against them

I hope he doesn't pick Stewart, it's getting embarrassing now

[Zeus]

Fuck the tims.

 

We will win. It'll be a shitfest but we'll win

[NEM]

Strangely confident about this

If our team puts a performance in we can sneak this. Septic a bit ropey at the moment.

[The Cockney Don]

We got a great chance ere, they are there for the taking even though we are without shinnie.

2-1 Dons.

McLennan winner in the dying minutes

 

See yous at hampden!

[Shinniesta]

Always very tough against Celtic at Hampden. Would rather play them there under Lennon than Rodgers though. They have most of their injured players back now (Christie, Rogic and Ntcham). No reason to fear them though they've not been blowing anyone away under Lennon. And I still think Bain is a potential weakness in a big game. We will miss Shinnie big time in this game.

 

2-1 Celtic.

Their defence is shite.

 

Have a fucking go and it's in the bag.

 

2-1 the Dandies.

 

Cozzie (47th minute) and May (78th minute).

Not confident at all. Feel we could be in for a thumping. 3-0 Celtic. We are missing too many key players ourselves and just not confident in our midfield. We have a terrible record against Celtic at Hampden.

If ever the cunt's going to score it'll be at Hamdump.

[TheRock]

Celtic have won something like 30 cup games in a row now, they have to lose one eventually. And why not us. We've done all right against them. Wish we could say we're in good form but that wouldn't exactly be true. We are doing well away.

[Zeus]

And our attack is?

Terrific

[Shinniesta]

I don't see a 3-0 at all I think it will be tight we will play 3 in midfield and stifle them like we did at both Ibrox and Parkhead last month when we didn't concede in either game. We've been very impressive away from Pittodrie for months now bar that shocking second half at Tynecastle last week.

 

But in a tight game they have far more players likely to produce that one moment to win it. It could be like a re-run of LC Final a few months ago.

[OddJob]

Agreed that for some strange reason I’m quite confident for this game even if we haven’t been playing good at all recently. Going to be a busy weekend as got my mates stagger the day before and then travelling down fircgane with mate and his bro and shed is red pre match. Work is getting binned on the Monday, fuck that shite

[Panda]

Every single Celtic fan I've spoken to about this isn't confident at all that they'll win, which kind of worries me. But it also shows how much their performances have dropped under Lennon. If we turn up we've a real chance.

 

A Hearts-Aberdeen final would be cracking.

[dave_min]

We’ll get slaughtered. Buzzing for this.

[TheRock]

Would prefer a Aberdeen/ICT final. Not because it would be an easier game, but we'd probably have 40k of us at Hampden for it.

[DelMonte]

I doubt it.

[YorkDon]

Even though they’ve nae been great of late they usually always seem to raise themselves when they play us,so nae confident especially with the skipper missing.

[Chewie37]

1-0 either way.......hopefully we nab a scrappy as fuck controversial goal so that Lennon goes into his usual meltdown. He should be Scotland manager you know, because he has such decorum

[Panda]

See to be honest, 2014 was great as a one-off, but a large proportion of it was folk who never go and probably haven't been back since. The Inverness end was shite so wasn't even any back and forth between the fans. Apart from the odd burst it was a terrible atmosphere.

 

A one-off was good, but 50/50 split, us and Hearts, proper rivalry. Levein's tears. It'd be superb.

[TheRock]

All good points, although I don't personally care if they'd be people there that hardly ever go. I'd take either tbh

[Shinniesta]

I think McInnes goes 4-3-3 in this game which likely means one of McGinn / Stewart / McLennan being benched.

 

I think it will be Stewart on the bench. McGinn has played well recently and deserves to keep his place.

[BWG]

I doubt it.

 

We would.  Very realistic chance of lifting the cup for the first time since about 1854 against a team we've got previous for beating in a cup final.

 

It'll be #HampDon
