Aberdeen 1-3 Celtic

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Celtic blitzed Aberdeen with three goals in the opening 11 minutes in what at that stage looked set to be a drubbing, but the hosts pulled a goal back in the 12th minute, which set a parity for the remainder of the match.

Leigh Griffiths has had to be patient this season but he made the most of his starting opportunity tonight. The opening goal, came from his corner, which was headed into the net by Dedryck Boyata. Patrick Roberts had a clear chance to open the scoring seconds earlier, but Aberdeen keeper Lewis turned his effort behind.

The second Celtic goal arrived on the 8th minute. There was nothing really on when Griffiths collected the ball wide on the right, but one cheeky nutmeg later and the Aberdeen defence were chasing shadows. Leigh crossed and Callum McGregor fired a shot which was blocked by Logan. The rebound fell to Stuart Armstrong, who contorted his body to make a contact good enough to score.

Again, there was little obvious danger when Leigh Griffiths collected the ball 30 yards out in 11 minutes. The Celtic striker took on two defenders before cracking a shot from 24 yards, which moved and deceived Lewis before smacking the back of the net.

At this point Celtic looked more likely to score six than to settle for three, but, remarkably, the fourth goal of the game arrived just a minute later, when Jonny Hayes lost Kieran Tierney with a quick change of direction before thundering one into the top corner from 23 yards.

unspecified-54

It was now Celtic’s turn to rock. Perhaps the game’s most important subsequent moment came after just 14 minutes when Stockley lost the Celtic central defenders, but couldn’t make contact with a cross 7 yards in front of goal.

Celtic’s passing in recent weeks has been exceptional, but they didn’t get this right on a choppy Pittodrie surface, as the unforced error count spiked. The ball rotation we have become used to seeing this season didn’t happen often, underlining the importance of suspended Scott Brown.

    I prefer to think of us as not so much stragglers as hardcore.

     

     

    See ya at the weekend,my Dad is practising the choons already.

     

     

    Hopefully we will be back in Swindon late on the Sunday,just in time for my nightshift. My local publican has already pointed out that he’s happy for a wee lock-in for my Dad that night,mainly so him and my pals can all have a wee Bank Holiday laugh while I’m working

     

     

    Strange how people down here understand me best when I stick to four-letter words,even if they’ve really got five or eight letters. No-one swears like a Scot missing a lock-in.

    I worked with a guy from Aberdeen who lived in Hull for a few years. He often said how his 4 letter word in conversations wasn’t appreciated.

     

     

    Only in Scotland is the c world used as a compliment

    Good stuff,the hard core boys of the old (no homes to go to) brigade will hold the fort until Myself and Witella arrive with the Cavalry on Friday bring reinforcements of Euros

     

     

    I am staying at Casa Balthazar very central ….would appreciate a text on the Friday from you or BT letting me know what pubs you are in……so that we can avoid them and go somewhere nice and posh !!!!!

     

     

    Corbyn In

  13. Dallas Dallas where the heck is Dallas on

    Tontine tim , sorry for the late reply.

     

     

    John Hughes did himself no favours with that comment about those two dumplins

  15. Gerryfaethebrig on

    I don’t like any MP, after their expenses fraud, they should have all got the sack, thieves

     

     

    BUT this guy Corbyn should be in with a shout if he has the backing of WITS, unless WITS gets to June the 6th and jumps ship, I remember when he didn’t back Ronny, then backed Ronny then didn’t………

     

     

    Am glad our horsey expert loves Brendan like the rest of us :-)

    BRTH.

     

    I purchased tickets after the ebay polis told you that you couldn’t sell alcohol, and using the ebid thing, was directed to paypal quite easily. Payment was made to someone called Jim and payment was duly debited from my bank account. The e-mail address for my paypal account will be different to my gmail account, but it has my name in it, so should be easy to check if you received my payment.

     

    Not too bothered about winning the raffle, but would like to think that the money has ended up in the right place – i.e. Your account.

    Torino president on Joe Hart: “We probably didn’t expect so many mistakes from an England international… but he did some good things, too.”

    When I was back in Scotland last year Corbyn was on the the TV one evening and I was utterly astounded at the contempt and contrived ridicule of the reporting. What was even more astounding was when I tried to change the channel to the BBC turned out that was in fact what I was watching.

     

    Changed days

     

    It was like watching FOX

     

    Let’s all run to the precipice

    Everyone is on message re Corbyn. Stop at all costs.

     

     

    Most of the Labour manifesto has popular support over the last few years or more. Put a Labour rosette on it and it’s suddenly the end of the world.

     

     

    Give us back control-of our utilities!

    I know

     

    He’s perceived as the same honorable clique as Foot Kinnock Benn etc you know, responsible for murdering the last Zcar of Russia and the creation of the Soviet Union.

     

    Nothing to do with spending taxes appropriately

    Listening to Jeremy Corbyn reminds me of my last ever political hero John Smith. Tragic he never got the chance.

  36. Gerryfaethebrig on

    CQN good night and God bless, at a very special mass tomorrow my thoughts will be of Cqners who have passed (that I have never met) and Cqners and families going through tough times (who I have yet too meet) sometimes very sad reading on here, but sometimes the sad stuff makes us appreciate the mundane stuff even more ……..

     

     

    JNP my curfew has been reached :-)

     

     

    In another note, am glad some are appreciating Broony when he is still playing, I thought it might have taken him to stop playing before the appreciation :-)

     

     

    Sometimes we don’t realise what we have till it’s gone
