I didn't watch the whole game but Aberdeen had three good chances before Celtic scored & then that deflected shot seemed to deflate them ,but they did start as if they were going to have a goHe did finally go for it an hour in. Why the fck did he not start like that.
I said at half time with celtic back 4 they were smoking cigars with aberdeens two. As soon as 1 went more forward form midfield (ie the sub at 60 mins) they panicked and were no longer in control.
Scandalous the little coward gives them a goal of a start and waits until he has to go for it.

I dont buy that 1 bit.
Even if we maul them its down to us being on our game. They always set up to compete against us,
Today they set up to keep it tight and ball watched celtic all first half. McGregor, Turnbull and Christie and Ajer to an extent allowed to run to their 18 yard box unchallenged.
Celtic on their game would have taken another 5 of them today until the useless git decided to try and exploit Celtics weakness. Even then he could not manage this properly holding back the biggest 2 lads on the pitch at dead ball situations,..
The lack of physical challenges from Aberdeen against Celtc are more than noticeable, mate. Against us, they are very different. We are lucky to escape serious injury.
Compare him with John Hughes.
Hughes knows he has a vastly weaker squad with County but he doesnt write every game off against them. He believes in his team and they got a result last week.
Put Hughes in that Dolly dugout and he would get them better results and probably have them playing decent football instead of heid it, hoof it, dive for a FK tactics of Beardy McLoser.
Dolly have some decent players in their squad for SPFL level but they're stuck in a timewarp until the get rid of Hoddit & Doddit in the dugout.
Did they set up that way or do they just have inferior players?
I agree they had a 25/30 minute spell in the first half where they were off it but other than that they were almost on Celtic’s level
I don’t disagree but that’s because us and the mentally challengeds are different teams.
The referees don’t allow teams to be overly physical v them the same way they do against us.
We’re so much better than the mentally challengeds now that the only tactic a team like Aberdeen have is to try and kick us off the park.
No they couldn't.If Aberdoom were a little brave when Lennon was on the ropes they could and really should have been heading to the the CL qualifiers as runners up.
New manager bounce?
I said last night the sheep were beaten before they set a foot on the park. I shudder when I think of the bullet we dodged with McInnes.
The replies
I got it at 4/7A fhilth win against them must be one of the safest bets in football.
20/25 MINS IN FIRST HALF? Try 10 mins at best, The other 35 mins they sat behind the ball admiring christie, turnbull and mcgregor running by them with ease.
At 60 mins he finally noticed what all other in the SPFL have been saying for months. HAVE A GO at Celtics defence.
This week, last week and in the Scottish Cup the guy shits himself before Celtic even take to the field.
25/30 implys that it was over 50% for sure. Even as high as 66%I said 25/30 and you said 10 minutes at best so we’re literally arguing over 5 minutes.
I know what you’re saying but Aberdeen are shite.
The point I’m making is that people are comparing that Aberdeen performance to the performance they expect from us v the mentally challengeds. That WAS Aberdeen playing well v them and they were pretty shite.
Not just me then
Very weird.
First time I’ve seen a club broadcaster be more pro the opposition.
They are not a football club anymore and their fans are the absolute dregs.Surely Ross County have beaten the mentally challengeds more this season than Aberdeen have in the last 5 years?
Utter shitebags from Boardroom to Dressing room and the Terraces.
25/30 implys that it was over 50% for sure. Even as high as 66%
I say it was nearer 20%
Massive difference.
Hughes is by FAR more tactical that McIness.
McInnes is far more like Lennon. Requires player of a better standard to win most games in the SPFL.
Normally I would just laugh at the sheep, but like many in the SPFL these teams manage to up their game against us. And I would like them to get a manager in that at least can have a go against us and THEM.
To be fair
Us
Hibs
Aberdeen
Kilmarnock
Livingston
St Mirren
St Johnstone
Ross County
Have all taken points off the mentally challengeds this season at one point or another.
I think the only teams who haven’t are Hamilton, Dundee United and Motherwell.
We can’t really ask for much more from the other teams tbh.
Don't gie the sheep chairman an idea of ditchin bottler mcinnes and goin for hughes.
Keep them the way they are.
And that’s the thing which sums up Scottish football. Celtic have been there for the taking all season, so there was a very real chance for someone else to finish second and have a crack at the CL qualifiers..... and nobody stepped up to the mark.If Aberdoom were a little brave when Lennon was on the ropes they could and really should have been heading to the the CL qualifiers as runners up.
M8 you are missing what I said,
Aberdeen today, last week and the semi final they turned up already beaten. Thats all.

I didn’t see the semi final tbh but I’ve seen the other three Aberdeen v mentally challengeds games this season. If I’m being honest, it’s the best I’ve seen the sheep perform consistently v the mentally challengeds.
I wouldn’t say they were good but they at least looked like they were trying, which hadn’t always been the case.
I don’t think Aberdeen’s issues this season (league wise) have been attitude, I think they’ve been down to lack of quality.
They were awful think they scored with there only shot on target.Celtic were absolutely dire today. Eduoard trying to walk the ball into the net was the best it got for them.
I say tactics
I want full on attack mode from Rangers at the PIggery from the first minute. An absolute battering and destruction.
Aberdeen should have pressed the ball from the off, they might have taken something off them. As for going man for man, septic had acres of space for passing the ball.McInnes is on the radio saying the same old stuff we went man for man again and it did not work.
He will be saying the same thing at the next game.
Look what Hughes did, that was tactics.Their tactics have got them a 3-3 draw and two 1-0 defeats so far this season (discounting cup games).
When you consider the difference in finances, how much more can you expect?
Look what Hughes did, that was tactics.
They'd be on course to reach 55 before us.New manager bounce?
