Aberdeen v Celtic

[rico94]

I found it quite amusing so many people actually thought we had a chance of winning today

We hardly ever play well against Celtic,it’s why we have only beaten them about 10 times in the last 25 years.

We would honestly be better off just forfeiting games against Celtic and give them the 3 points.It would save all of us the time and bother.

Not disagreeing with most of your post which is evidently true but I don't get the vibe that many thought we might win, just that we as in the manager and players threw in the towel seemingly before the first ball was kicked. It comes across as more respectable because they were not at the races shooting wise and not because of Jim's don't try tactics resulting in only a one nil loss.

There was a few people at the start of this thread predicting we would win,plenty others on various forums said the same thing for some reason.

The tactics were shocking today but even if he set us up to have a go at them we still would have lost.

We will have a new manager at some point with completely different players and the Tims will still beat us 99% of the time.

It’s a complete waste of time playing them.

Always predict us to win no matter who we play. No point buying an ST then go along to games thinking we will get beat.

I'm not too bad when we get beat, some days it just doesn't happen for lots of reasons, some days we are ust shyte, but today was a real shock to the system. I could accept being beat from the tims if I saw us having a go and trying to compete, but today I saw nothing but the acceptance from our manager that we cannot compete with Celtic, which left me raging.

Celtic are a decent team and have some good players, but feck me they're nae that fecking good we send out a team to defend for 90 minutes.

I’m surprised that you are shocked to be honest, the fact that we continue to “borrow” players from them says to me that we have waved the flag against them long before a ball is ever kicked .

Ah the paradox o the Dandie, There is always a wee bit of us all who think.. It will be different today optimism bias they call it. Well we were humped again today and its left us deflated and the sense of optimism evaporates. But that optimism will return for the Huns on Tuesday and we'll go through it all again but with a different outcome this time.. oops there I go again.

Better off scrapping Scottish Football altogether perhaps but what would we do on a Saturday afternoon and we’d need a forum to moan on in the evening, would we not!?

Well lads I half admire your optimism of us beating the Tims after so many decades of us losing to them pretty much every time we play them.

Personally I go into these games knowing we are going to get beat,for some reason I still go but it’s probably more to do with the fact I have a season ticket rather than hoping we will win.

The days of us being able to compete with them are long gone I’m afraid,St Johnstone (yes bloody St Johnstone)have won more more trophies than us in the last 25 years.

That tells you all you need to know as to where we are as a club.
