Aberdeen 0 - 1 Celtic - League Cup Final 2018


Recommended Posts


Got what we deserved out of the final i thought.

Huffed and puffed but rarely troubled celtic. If anything they troubled themselves.

Sadly we're just nowhere near good enough to trouble a Celtic team who were below par themselves and did just enough to ensure their win.

Completely agree.

 

Far too much deadwood in the squad, could really do with a January clear-out.

With expectations low, today could be looked on as some form of achievement, keeping Celtic to one goal. The players effort and commitment could not be faulted, though. However it all seems so futile with no effective midfield and nobody with the ability to score goals. Ultimately the problem is fundamentally down to the dubious recrutiment processes, where all we seem to acquire are very inadequate players to say the least. Any decent loan players seem to go back to their own clubs in a relatively short time. The ones we get left with just seem to vanish into obscurity. The impact on the wage bill must be horrendous.

Game was competitive, restricted Celtic but as a consequence restricted ourselves attacking wise.

 

The reality is Celtic have x6 our annual wage and have a 9m striker up front. We have a 20k striker up front.

 

We've not played well enough this season to expect a result so I have to say the tactics were right but we never got that golden opportunity.

 

As has been said many times, a better transfer window might have provided a team that could win such a game, but we are lacking in key areas- critiscm is just on this point and will define the season.

Anyone that says McInnes needs to gois a fud. The man’s the best thing to happen to my club for a very VERY long time. Are we going to get anybody who can take us another level higher ? No, we’re not.

That doesn’t excuse poor performances or bottling it but for fucks sake the man is (generallly) doing good

Thought we matched them for long spells in the game and extremely harsh to lose the game the way we did. Dallas is an utter cunt of a man.

Matching a side that had played a tough European game a few days before isn’t something to get excited about tho is if?

We did well,but ultimately toothless and we could play all day today and not score...

It's not your club, it's ours.

 

And of course we could get someone to take us on. Someone less defensive and can spot talent in the youth ranks.

Along the lines of Pat Nevin.

There's been numerous examples of how Pat Nevin could change our fortune. It's time.

Mcinnes is responsible for signing loanees who really don't give a shit. If your all satisfied with that then you deserve what your going to get this season. NO CUPS No second third or fourth spot. He will keep on signing injury prone limpets. And the management will give him another salary increase because there's idiots on here who keep saying he's the best thing that's happened to Aberdeen in years. BULLSHIT look at the league position 8th and Rangers and Celtic hearts coming up. NO STRIKER NO playmaker

Our best player today was a loanee (Max Lowe). It’s not loan signings per se that are the issue, just ending up with the wrong loan signings.

You need to get out more, there is a whole thing called 'life' out there waiting to be discovered.

 

Out of interest, how old are you? If you are as old as I am and have been following the Don's for as long as I have there has been plenty of years with 'NO CUPS' and second or third spots being a dream as we battled second or third bottom.

 

Give yourself a shake and wise up.
