Aberdeen v Celtic

[TheDeeDon]

Just saw the 'highlights' on the BBC.

Can't believe Devlin didn't move with the line for their goal. A sore one. Not an excuse, but he was f*cked by that point and otherwise had a superb game.

That Sokler shot was never going in.

I was hoping to see the Doohan assault and also the one where Sokler took a touch then shot which about hit the corner flag.

Watched the highlights again this morning and that felt like a real Jimmy T performance. We had a game plan and executed it pretty well. If our shooting boots had been properly laced up we?d have taken at least one point. I suspect in terms of shots on target, XG, etc. the Celtic stats from last night would be way down on the norm.

Which is not at all to gloss over the weaknesses in the team. But if (if) we get back on track and pick up 6 points from the next two matches then the recent patch will feel like a blip.

It?s very clear how we?re supposed to play. The players seem to be generally executing it well, and when the likes of McGarry are called on and perform like that, then you can see they?re well coached.

It was great to see Polvara back and thought he played a couple of great passes and showed what he can bring.

An irritating result but a lot of positives to take from the performance.

Just watched Sportscene and don't think it was a foul.

Did at the game, but not after watching it back. Don't think the tim boy had any intent to hurt the keeper. Just a clash of two players going for a ball.

That said. If that happens up the other end of the pitch, at least a yellow card.

But foul was given and play resumed with an Aberdeen free kick not a drop ball nor a goal kick or corner .
That would have been a red if at other end of pitch

The ref was poor the whole game. It was the first in a number of poor or head scratching decisions that mainly favoured Celtic.

Thing is, intent doesn't matter these days.
It's about "endangering" (or something like that, forget the wording).

At the other end it's a yellow minimum no questions asked.
