Amazing Collum didn’t play a made up advantage rule then

He normally plays to the next Celtic goal the winner rule

[redstrummer]

phew , thank fuck it's not another defeat 

[1903Fitba]

Wright and Hedges brilliant today. 
 

Taylor needs to get a serious injury ASAP. 

[AllyDon]

We deserved a point from the game today. Gave Celtic way to much respect in my opinion and a lot of long aimless balls from the back at times. 

That is not a great Celtic team and they are there for the taking in the cup game if McInnes and the team just believe. 

[Dom Sullivan]

McGregor had to walk.

Great “bounce” (in my living room anyway) but still feels like we threw it away (not helped by Gollum). 
 

[fine-n-dandy]

Don’t care what folk say but combination of Hedges/Wright/Cosgrove & even McLennan (especially first three) are always going to offer goals/opportunities.

All three were effective today.

Two teams defending like absolutely clowns. Nobody deserves to win that.

fair play to Scotty Wright though... I’ve been critical of him... he was sensational when he came on!

Fair play to him, he was excellent

They are all over the shop. If we can cut out the mistakes we’ll beat them.

Ref cost us 2 points

Not for the first time

[PondHopper]

Wright should be starting. Great to see Sam get some run. Hope Big Sam can shake the rust off for the cup semi. 

Hope Fergs stays over the window. There will be interest.

[Cambridge Red]

My Mrs thinks ive gone mental, she just understand how much i despise the old firm. Best go check my blood pressure!!

 

[Ten Caat]

Could have been so much more but I suppose going 3-2 down with 15 to go and still being 3-2 down with 90 seconds to go I'll take it.

Wee ginger bastard's future at Celtic must be on a severely shoogly peg now. We can definitely get him his P45 next week.

Wright doesn’t do enough when he starts. Will always be a ‘Super Sub’ imo

[Tyzo_1903]

Got a good feeling about us going forward with a fully fit Cosgrove with Hedges and Wright playing off of him. Got a glimpse of that at the end.

 

Need to just run at that donky duffy, boys pish. 

[Tommy]

Justice in the end. A decent second half and credit to Scott Wright, he played well.

Why McGregor was still on pitch at the end is beyond me, terrible performance from Collum having ignored a clear foul on Cosgrove before they scored and not booking McGregor for a second time,

[Mr John]

If we'd won, I had a text prepped to go to mates who support Celtic saying "congrats on your latest treble".

 

So, who do we swap Taylor for next week? He can't cope with midgets running, in fact, scratch that, moving, with the ball at his feet.

[fine-n-dandy]

Glad Ferguson took penalty & Cosgrove didn’t. Nap he’d have missed it

[Kelvin]

Wright was superb when he came on - maybe suits the super sub position. Coming on when teams are tiring.

 

Happy to get a point but feels like a missed opportunity to beat them there.

McLennan so bad so far

Playing with 10 men

‘McLennan obviously tweaked his groin but remained playing the rest of the game conservatively as opposed to having to make another forced change.

we missed a chance to delay putting Wright on whilst Edmundson was assessed as it took away one of our 3 substitution opportunities (Wright and Cosgrove could have went on together)

McLennon did well enough in the game

Considine into the middle, Leigh to the left. 2 benefits....Considine doesn't get exposed to Christie and Frimpong like he was today. And Taylor doesn't get exposed to the pitch

[The Hawk]

Wasn't impressed with Cosgrove today if I'm honest, our 2nd goal was his miss luckily fell to Hedges, fell over too easy to give them ball back just before they made it 2-2 (Could have been foul but felt he was just looking for one) and at end there to make it 3-3 rattles it off bar, thankfully got pen!  Still maybe lacking match sharpness but on another day those things could cost us.  

Great end to the game and fully deserved point

Taylor should not be near this football team

 

They are there for taking next week - think this most confident i've ever been going to face Celtic at Hampden! 

[Zeus]

That's the shittest Celtic side I can remember. Maybe the early 90s but I canna fully mind. 

Duffy is a complete cart horse.  He's apparently on 45k a week ffs. ?

I'm annoyed we didn't win though. Such a poor side. 

We have to beat them next week.

He'll have to severely up his alcohol/women intake to be a Hewitt clone

[fine-n-dandy]

Cosgrove show for semi

[thurso]

Played well second half but I wish we pressed more when we were 2-1 up. When we pressed they were nervy and we scored. We shouldn’t be sitting back against them 

[fine-n-dandy]

Was Griffiths offside for their 3rd when ball played through?

My wife said “Thank Christ that’s finished” when the final whistle blew. 
 

She canna wait until she’s dropping me off at Pittodrie again.

Not as much as me, dear...

[afc1903mad]

Lots of people slating Taylor but I thought he had a decent enough game.

Hoban gave away the pen, but had it had been Taylor, there would be pages and pages of posts about it.

 

The first goal came from Watkins leaving McGregor and not passing him on to freely walk into the box

The second, Taylor gave Griffiths too much room

The third was poor by Hoban, Elyanoussi was never getting it, so he made the most to get the pen

Bang on. Nothing to fear from a Lennon led Septic. I just wish we would believe in ourselves more and skelp the cunts. Next week would be nice.
