Match Thread Aberdeen 3 - 3 Celtic

[Big Hat Logan]

That’s the best we’ve played against them for a while, we weren’t overrun in midfield as usual and caused a lot of problems when attacking. Cosgrove made a big impact as well as Wright. Just gutted we couldn’t have won there, I get the feeling we may not get a chance like that again soon.

We have to keep hold of Ferguson, he’s so important for us.

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Hard to know what to make of a game like that.

Pleased to get a point from being down, or annoyed at losing two quick goals to go 3-2 down.

Wright made a difference when he came on & I think he’ll play next weekend instead of Edmondson. 
Cosgrove (understandably) looked rusty & as if his legs were on the wrong way.

All 3 penalties were penalties. I actually thought Collum refereed quite well, other than one big important decision... a foul on Cosgrove in the build up to Griffiths goal.

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

Fuck off India.

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

No

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. 

 

That’s what happens when your club and fans have a bizarre obsession with Ireland.

Taylor was fkn shite.

def fault for first & could also be at fault in part for second.

shite balls forward as well.

if that was a ‘decent enough’ game then I think you are just comparing it with his half v Motherwell

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! 

Cosgrove hater alert!

Obvious he made a very positive contribution in his brief time on the pitch

[Singapore Steve]

Wright was magnificent when he came on.  If he could perform like that every match then he is a multi million pound player.  Just a bit too inconstant.

He must have went past 5 or 6 Celtic players before making that pass

[Lencarl]

Still not happy.

A win is completely different from a draw.

That was our best chance to beat Celtic in a long while.

Celtic will win next week.

No. Clear Hoban fuck up

Listening to RedTV commentary and they reckoned we should've had a free kick just before, was more what I meant.

[Zeus]

Wright has to start next week. Run at that beaut Duffy. Canna cope with him

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 

That’s Derek for you. But, we can’t go down that route again next week. 

What a chance we have. Concentrate on Duffy and we’re halfway there.

A wonderful run.   Peter weir like. 

[fine-n-dandy]

On to semi & hopefully the team showed McInnes he can be a bit more ballsy against them & show the fk all respect

Hedges has a fucking superb attitude. Always looking to go forward and has his head up.

Agreed. Wright & hedges were brilliant. 

[King Street Loon]

Least we deserved out of that.

That is a poor Celtic team and they're fortunate that they've players who can offer them moments of magic.

If we approach it properly we'll win the semi.

[slippers]

As much as people don’t rate Wright we have to get into contract negotiations pronto and hedges.

Fuck me min.

It's Cosgrove's first game in how long.

At least give the big cunt a few more games to get up to speed before you write him off.

I’d like to see that “incident” with Brown again, where he got an elbow in the moo, which Sky chose not to focus on.

[Kelvin]

Hedges is now a massive player for us! Really kicked on this season. 
Could be a good season!

Fuck aye, I'd forgotten about that. 

I hope Brown starts next week. He's done. Wright skipped by him a few times nae bother 

[CalgaryDon]

Wright did well when came on. I thought Watkins had a good game.

Cosgrove certainly made a difference. Edmundson wasn't as effective today.

I agree with Bobby Clark - we stood off far too much and were far too deep.

Hedges was MOTM. Deserved his goal.

A good point but disappointed not to win. One of the stronger sides McInnes has put together.

Hedges needs tied down for sure. Wright is just too inconsistent to warrant an extension right now. Started the season on fire, but was anonymous/borderline god awful mid September until last week. Was undeniably excellent when he came on today though. I think I prefer him as an impact sub as opposed to a week in week out starter.

I agree. I’d much rather Brown played than the young Samuel L Jackson.

Should have sent McGregor off? At least a second booking for the foul on MacLennan

Especially on a big pitch at hampdump.

Broonie will revert to fouling (more than usual). 

Plenty space for Wright and speedy players to run at shite like Duffy
 

 

[sheepcrooky]

Both Wright and Cosgrove made positive contributions when they came on. Not sure whether to be disappointed at not winning or happy with the last minute equaliser. 
 

I’ll just be happy and crack open another can. Woohoo , GIRUY Lennon you odious cunt.

Yeah.. I wondered that. 

Defensively, Celtic are shite. They looked shite at all 3 of our goals. 

Duffy is just a fucking bruiser. 

We have to win next weekend.
