Nah, them equalising was far more disappointing. 

On the balance of play I would have taken a draw at HT. A point gained is how I'm viewing today's result.

Yes the centre back clearly was going to be sent off until Mclean changed his mind.

It’s a classic case of he’d have definitely got a yellow if he hadn’t already been booked.

So, McLean didn’t apply the laws of the game & he absolutely shat it.

Proud of that 2nd half. Fight,closing down,at them and a cracker of a goal! Could've won it,nae danger. Onwards

that was my feeling too , proud of the team in the second half the way they got stuck in . Hopefully that's the blueprint for the rest of the season

Enjoyed that second half. Rode our luck at times but equally could have had another goal or two ourselves. 

 

I dislike Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton.

I think I'll cry for a few days when Miovski leaves probably this summer 

Winning the SC and qualifying for European competition again may sway him to stay with us for at least another season min.

A tall order, granted, but achievable.👍🤞

What were they saying in the Sky booth?

Aberdeen have taken more points off Sellic this season than Sevco, so which team lie down to them?

That was a different Shinnie today and one we have been missing. Still looks sluggish at times but he had passion we haven’t seen in weeks. The Robson effect was really just fucking everyone. 

His best game since his return, IMHO.

Polvara needs to do a lot of stamina work in the close season. I think he's a good player with the potential to be a lot more no matter what some of you moaners think BUT he needs to be able to last a game and not run out of puff after 60minutes.

It's not like he runs about that much, we were hardly out of our own half first half.  The only thing he did today was the pass, otherwise annonymous.

Waiting for @Millertime to tell us how that wasn’t a second yellow…

Yep, stinking decision

Mcgrath should have got one too for diving

miovski might be Jesus tho 

Jesus had a quick call (if you believe the Bible, that is). 

We certainly do not want Bojan Miovski having a similar short-lived stint at AFC.

Bojan > Jesus. 👍🇲🇰

Practically guaranteed he'll be gone in the summer. 

Will be a sad day. Love watching him play.

Just the assist then? Useless!

Just depends who comes calling. You aren’t going to turn down serie a or English prem to have another crack at helsinki

He started very slowly today and his initial touches were like a rabid hyena trying to control a fitba' and pass it. 

However, he never let that phase him and he grew more and more into the game. 

A proper Captain's performance from Mr. Shinnie.👍

He was good in the 2nd half.

That’s a few assists he’s had this season too.

To be honest it wasn't the worst they have been in terms of dominating the agenda with old firm nonsense, but just fed up with their 'analysis'.  Kris Boyd in particular is hard to listen to.

Have just seen the picture from Sky of the disallowed Celtic goal. Two Celtic players at least a yard offside. How could the linesman not see that as offside and how did it take 3 minutes to make the decision?

He has already tried most jobs in the club. He has had his day. 

I wouldn’t bring him back as DoF but I think he’d be better than a Willie Garner as the football voice on the board / NED.

No, that's a very reasonable summary.

However, regardless of the greater money he may or may not get salary-wise from potential suitors in the top leagues of Europe, they may not be in a position to offer him European competition (if we reach there again next season). 

Furthermore, this is a lad that truly loves playing for AFC, something what money can't buy (Copyright of Alfredo di Stefano). You can see that in his workrate, energy, body language, and enthusiasm, game in, game out.

Haven seen it myself yet but from the radio the query was if the goalkeeper parrying it created a second phase.  In fairness even God didn’t know the answer.

i still say the Polvara(?) push for the cross quickly followed by the block (shout for handball) in the second half much greater debate.

Played the best pass of the game, yet here you are talking nonsense 

[Sheeptastic]

Shades of the infamous Goodwin vs Celtic in the first half. Great seeing us go toe-to-toe with them in the second half. 

Disappointing not to get the win but very enjoyable watching Miovski toast a Celtic defender in that manner. Stunning goal.

Also a blatant hand ball IMO.

I thought Polvara was our best player first half - ok that's not saying a lot. And I thought he was our best player second half amongst a lot of strong perfomances. His retention of the ball and nicking the odd ball was really good. And of course his composure for the pass. He is really developing.
