He is constantly charging about in a way he cant manage anymore leaving gaps to exploit. He also takes too many touches and loses the ball too much. Yesterday in the good passages of play we were much better at quickly getting forward in to dangerous areas. Clarkson was his old self for a start. 👆this. Very unfortunate for Shinnie, but very true too. 1 Link to comment

However once illness is under control normal life is perfectly achievable. Shinnie may be failing a bit due to age, particularly in the legs, not the illness. By the way my son still plays football twice a week, aged nearly 29, and is one of the fittest players in his team. Does he take penalties too? Link to comment
Ernie McCracken Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Liked the fact that Leven and the players who were interviewed all pointed out to Rob McLean that they didn't do enough yesterday, and should've done better. McLean still must have a touch of the condescending scottish media about him. You know the usual "Oh guys you must be so proud. What a fabulous performance against the glorious Glasgow Celtic! What an honour to take them to penalties." Link to comment

elephantstone78 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Yesterday is the reason why even if you’re sure the team are going to lose and are a bunch of weak willed arseholes you should always get a ticket. It’s difficult to describe the rush for our goals yesterday, particularly the second and third. Win that shootout and that was straight into top 5 favourite games of all time. 1 2 Link to comment

Friday night I said I wasn't gonna go. Woke up really early yesterday and decided to take the car. And I hate watching us without a drink. So glad I did. I don't think there's been a rollercoaster like that for many a year. I was absolutely shattered when I got home. Vewy pwoud of the team, but I'll be pwouder if they keep up that level of performance in the next 5 games. Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Very shite season but can’t complain with our efforts in the cups. Won some hard games against likes of hibs and killie and stayed in the games against rangers / Celtic. Also seen off the lower league teams with ease, which isn’t always the case. just need to make sure we are always turning up in the cups and are ready to take our chance. Any time the draw opens up with rangers or Celtic going out we seem to find ourselves getting pumped by Dundee united or st Johnstone etc Link to comment
Red Granite Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Aye I've not felt that emotion at a game for a very long time the pure ecstasy fan first the equaliser to make it 2-2 and then the goal to take it to penalties it was a an unbelievable feeling. The first time I've also seen my 7 year old bairn truly upset at the end of a dons game. Fair play to the Tim's fans as we were parked up at Asda, we were in about thousands of them and they spoke and told us we should have won it. All in all though gutted we're not coming back in May but proud of the lads. Just goes to show there's not as big a clear out needed as fot folk are saying. Link to comment
The Gee Man Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Cameron Carter-Vickers has admitted he thought he had given away an extra-time penalty when the Celtic defender caught Aberdeen winger Junior Hoilett in the box in Saturday's epic last-four encounter I will finish it! Then he remembered he was playing for Celtic and there was no way VAR would give it against them in a Semi 2 2 Link to comment
slippers Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Just watched the highlights from premier sports on YouTube. You really do wonder if the game is rigged. They didn’t show a replay of the scales handball just showed if live which you couldn’t see fuck all from that distance. They didn’t show the hoilett pen incident at all in highlights. That in itself if baffling 1 Link to comment

It makes me a wee bit worried though that we've performed in games where teams let is play....Celtic were sharp in attack yesterday, but they're a team that allow the opposition space and time. We're no so good against the St Mirren's and Dundee's of this world, who squeeze us far more. We rarely dominate a game, and it would be great to see a Thelin team keep all this mid-table dross that we struggle against, on the back foot. Link to comment

Aye that's it, the top teams that go for the win will always leave space for you to attack and I thought we were very good at that, especially fan Hoilet came on. It's like you say it's teams that come to Pittodrie for a point that we need to start dominating and dictating on our terms. Go one or two up early and force them to come out. Come on Jimmy boy!

Roberto Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I have just witnessed Celtic fans on twitter claiming it is most definitely a foul on Johnston from Hoilett. These same fans claimed Boyata on GMS all those years ago wasn't a foul. These same fans would be ABSOLUTELY screaming 'conspiracy' if it didn't go their way yesterday if they were in that position. The lack of self awareness is staggering. Cheating kid fondling cunts. Unless people vote with their feet and stay away or cause disruption across all games outwith those ball sacks then this right now will only get much much worse. Shambles. It needs to stop and fast cause its getting completely out of control and the SFA are rubbing their hands at an arse cheek final, and patting their referees on the back. Scum bags every one of them. 1 Link to comment

Celtic fans are weird. Tend to be nicer people than huns but they are definitely fucking weirder. Not a single foul against Celtic has ever been the correct decision in their eyes. I can often enough see decisions that go aberdeens way and think fuck me that was lucky. But no Celtic fan has ever had this emotion 1 1 Link to comment

shooftahmooftah Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 3 hours ago, BaaBaaRedSheep said: Wasn't at the game because since the shambles management of the club since Cormack's tenure has kicked in I feared the worst. However did watch the whole game on the box and was pleasantly surprised at the spirit and performance shown by almost all of the players. Why was that, given that the majority of our performances this season have been poor? 1) Did the impending appointment of Thelin boost the players? 2) Did Leven employ the correct tactics? 3) Do the team generally play better without Shinnie? 4) Are Celtic not as good as the media try to tell us? The answer is probably a bit of all 4 reasons. The only criticism I have on any player from yesterday is we surely can source a better keeper than Roos. He wasn't that convincing during the match and certainly didn't look like he could save a penalty if they were taken all day. The position has to be a number one priority signing for Thelin. First priority is to avoid the playoff spot. Then other priority’s can take place by Thelin, and there’s more than 3 or 4. Link to comment

Yorston Vasey Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 5 minutes ago, Millertime said: No way Can't have hearts coming 3rd and a chance at a Scottish cup win Hearts are our rivals - I want them out Yep I'm with you. The financial advantage that the Huns and Tims hold is so great that I've come to terms with the fact they'll win the majority of trophies, and that it's essentially a meaningless achievement when they do so. If Aberdeen are put of contention for any particular competition then I'd settle for Celtic to win everything 100 times out of 100 over Rangers to be the eventual winners, but if it's a choice between Rangers and any other SPFL side to win a trophy then I'd take the non-hun team to get an absolute pumping as I don't want to see any of our realistic rivals win anything ever again. Would still laugh like fuck if the Huns got humiliated but I wouldn't be happy with Hearts getting closer to winning something else. 1 Link to comment

sooth_stander Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Apologies if this has already been discussed so ignore if appropriate Would it be churlish of me if I was to suggest the reason we played so well yesterday (especially in midfield) was BECAUSE Shinnie wasn’t there? Great to see the one touch passing, one twos etc all done quickly, something our skipper struggles with. 2 Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Like us yesterday, Hearts won’t be allowed to win today. The refs will see to that. I actually hope they somehow manage it. The SFA will be gutted if they don’t get their bigot derby for the final 1 1 Link to comment
