Aberdeen 1-1 Celtic

1425
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

It was an unfamiliar Celtic starting line-up at Pittodrie this afternoon which resulted in the visitors dropping league points for the first time in four months.  Andre Blackman and Mikael Lustig made their Celtic debuts at left and right back respectively, while Charlie Mulgrew played central midfield alongside Joe Ledley.

Neither full back got forward as often as we are accustomed to see Celtic play, which perhaps contributed to the disjointed performance.

Charlie Mulgrew almost opened the scoring on 5 minutes when his swerving free kick rebounded back off the inside of Jason Brown’s far post in Celtic’s only genuine chance before the 28th minute goal.  Mulgrew was key again in the move that counted, controlling a difficult ball before twisting his marker and knocking the ball forward to Kris Commons.  Commons spun before playing a perfectly weighted pass into space inside the box for Anthony Stokes to run onto.  Stokes first touch took the ball past Brown in the Aberdeen goal before he slotted his shot into the net.

Aberdeen were well out of the contest in the first half and had to wait until near the end of the half before they managed an attempt at goal, a Fyvie shot which was blocked.  Then, only seconds from the break, a long ball forward to Fallon brought Aberdeen level.  Fallon turned and his forward run drew Blackman, Wilson and Rogne, leaving the right back space unattended.  Gavin Rae ran 70 yards to fill that space and fired a shot which was going narrowly wide before Blackman’s block bounced over Forster into the net.

A minute into the second half Ryan Jack almost reached a cross from the right as Aberdeen seemed to take encouragement from their goal.

Anthony Stokes looked Celtic’s best player but whenever he linked with strike partner, Gary Hooper, the ball invariably bounced out of play or to an Aberdeen player, most notably on the 55th minute when Hooper failed to control on the edge of the six yard box.

Aberdeen’s best chance to win the game arrived on 63 minutes when Meganson evaded Lustig but shot wide when clean through inside the box.

    Saly is a typical cheating hun – its in his DNA

     

    Anyone who can injure a fellow professional the way he did with Theo Snelders is capable of anything

     

    Remember the wink and thumbs up to Cousin after his assault on our captain?

     

    Like most huns Sally is not a threat when confronted face to face – just watch out when hes behind you!

     

    Like most huns he is desperate to blame someone else for their difficulties – so much easier than taking responsibility themselves

    The cheeky chappie’s stats are horrendous and their impending doom is saving him as he uses all his snake like charm to hypnotise his adoring Scottish media.

    I’m about to call it quits for the night. I’m so happy that we got a draw and they lost today. It’s tiring supporting the Champions elect and waiting for the next piece of karma to hit the Gers!

     

     

    Cheers Paddy.

     

     

    Goodnight to all Celts.

    I am originally from Belfast too and have never heard that Bead Rattling expression. Then again, before I went to live in Glasgow (or should I say “stay” in Glasgow), I had never heard of “outwith” being used instead of “outside” or “uplift” being used instead of “collect” or ” briefs” being used instead of “tickets”. We in the “Occupied 6” generally refer to briefs as being (a) underpants or (b) solictors.

     

    UC, see these “Scatchies”, like, and the way they talk….. you couldn’t be up till them, so you couldn’t.

    Sanna – enjoy that beer, you deserve it after a very long day. Great to see TKF evolving and reaching out to other clubs.

     

    There’s been fireball/meteor reports from various parts of the UK….did you ever see the film Armageddon?!!

    Not a bother mi hermano.

     

    In all my years of watching Celtic, I have yet to see a scottish referee officiating the game as he would referee a game in the same way he would the hun.

     

     

    Take care and god bless, beads n all :>)))

    With this being a historical season i.e death of TFOD.

     

    I am going to propose a wee idea that’s been floating around my napper.

     

     

    Paul has done us a service above and beyond the call of duty.

     

    I therefore propose that we chip in and get a signed and framed tap for him.

     

     

    Those of you with the required contacts let me know what to do to get this ball rolling. It’s deserved!

    Sent to espn.co.uk via the link ‘help and feedback’ at the bottom of the homepage….

     

     

    “Craig Burley must not be allowed to co commentate on another Celtic game. He clearly harbours a grudge against the club and his constant disparaging, frequently personal comments and the sneering tone used has been spoiling my enjoyment of your coverage. This is also the view of countless other supporters as expressed on various internet boards, some of whom watch with the sound off, only turning it up at key points, a ridiculous situation. The Celtic manager was also clearly infuriated after the match. Typical he continually adds a negative slant such as at Celtic’s goal alluding to problems between the scorer and the manager, spoiling the moment!

     

    There is a view being expressed that supporters should cancel ESPN subscriptions until he is replaced and I am seriously considering this.

     

    I have closely watched recordings of the last few games and he does not use this negative style or tone against other teams, he has clearly a personal grudge against Celtic and ESPN should not be a platform for this.”

     

     

    Please instead of this infighting can you spend a few productive minutes submitting, hopefully better worded complaints than mine to hopefully get rid of this tw@t. I’m sick of him spoiling my enjoyment of games.

     

    Support our manager, he was rightly upset by this moron’s personal agenda against our team..
