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.

    Nice to see Neil Lennon voicing the opinion of must of us who have had to endure the cr@p that spews from bitter craig Burleys mouth. The sooner he is flushed down the pan with his beloved team the better.

    jesus! much talk tonight about free speech and what you’re not allowed to say on the blog! I always thought that we were tolerant by faith, turn the other cheek, do unto others… being told what you can and can’t say about what you believe…not my experience. Oglach said something people didn’t like…people should ask themselves what it is they didn’t like. If someone is racist, sexist, discriminatory then fair enough….but if it’s just because you don’t like it…where does it end?

     

     

    I’ve always had a problem with people who say things like ‘…you wouldn’t say that to a Muslim…’ The implication is that if you say something objectionable to a Muslim then there will be consequences. (Cartoons etc) The Christian religon is predicated on mockery, if you look at Christ’s passion, it’s all about how He was humiliated

     

    He bore it humbly

     

    Beads are an aid to prayer, as are statues, pictures and buildings. These inanimate objects are impervious to offence, as are prayers.

     

     

    I’m off to lock the front door as there has been a terrible rise in crime here on Craggy Island!

    My mate is fraud investigator for the council and told me that we havent paid our council rates since may. If he was a taig i wouldnt believe him but he is a massive blue nose.

     

     

    Hope this isnt another embarrassing story about to come out.

    Have you ever been called one then had seven colours of shoite kicked out you by a team?

     

    Experience drives perspective – nothing to add.

    For my money, Neil Lennon has earned the right to play sock puppets at full back if he so fancies.

     

     

    Some of the negativity from the usual suspects is way outa line.

     

     

    Rangers are toast, the league is won, the treble is on.

    I hope the bored stick w/Neil

     

     

    2 powerful combinations that can, with some luck, be written into the annals of history. I have complete trust in Neil. The bored need to come through as Sydney Tim alluded to earlier.

    I take back what I siad earlier the voice of reason :>)

     

     

    Lenny tried to mix it up today, and got it wrong, not a crit, just a fact that he would no doubt agree with.

     

     

    Too many players away this week, he tried to conserve a few for later, why not.

     

     

    I agree Paddy should have had a runout, as should Pawell, why sign him and not play him ? just an observation, not a crit :>))

     

     

    The team next week will bear no resemblance to what started today, and the team next week will beat Utd.

     

     

    Still no crits from here, the day we get our level playing field will be the day I crit the team.

     

     

    Take care mi hermano.

    In 300 years from now the global Bishops of Timmery will meet in Constantinople and declare the miracles of Whytery. Of how Craigilee of Murderwell was visited by the three kings of Dorian Gray and given gifts of Gold, Jockenstein and Murray in the year of our Turd 1971 only to live a life of anonymity and was crucified in 2012 the year of the Nostrahunnus.

    By ANDREW SMITH

     

     

    CRISIS-HIT Rangers Football Club received a new blow yesterday when its administrator admitted the chances of the team playing in Europe next season had now all but vanished.

     

     

    In comments that will further disappoint staff and fans at Ibrox, Dave Whitehouse, from Duff and Phelps, said it was highly likely a 31 March deadline to satisfy football authorities that the Glasgow club was able to meet its financial obligations would be missed.

     

     

    To obtain a Uefa licence to play in the money-spinning Champions’ or Europa leagues, the club must demonstrate to the Scottish Football Association by the end of this month it can satisfy the requirements of HMRC, which forced Rangers into administration last month over an unpaid tax bill of up to £15 million.

     

     

    However, at present, administrators are still seeking to unravel the club’s finances since the ill-fated takeover by owner Craig Whyte last May, and a new ownership bid by a consortium of businessmen has yet to materialise.

     

     

    Yesterday, Whitehouse stated: “The 31 March deadline is technically still possible but highly problematic.

     

     

    “We will know much more by 16 March [when “indicative” bids for ownership are required]. There comes a point where we have to decide who is a genuine bidder with a capacity to deliver and who is posturing. That is the process we are going through now.”

     

     

    Rangers lie in second place in the Scottish Premier League after a ten-point docking for going into administration.

    hugely interesting,

     

     

    so Aberdeen, a pretty damn fantastic team at the time, were cheated out of 2 trebles, and would have wont the league 5 out of 6 years.

    My admiration for him as a manger began with the way he handled himself in the interview after the Ross County defeat, he knew more than anybody what needed to be done – and he is bringng back the THUNDER and we can sit back now and wallow in our achievements or we can build on it and with Neil’s first 11 on the park go for bigger glory – and this will need investment and commitment from the bored..I would love to see a name walk through those doors, someone who will fill those extra empty seats
