Three goals after the 90-minute mark is a first for Celtic, as Aberdeen’s afternoon turned from a respectable-looking 2-0 deficit at 76 minutes, to a washout by fulltime. More on the visitors later. This was a breakthrough day for Celtic’s Yang and Luis Palma.
Palma hit the byline and crossed with his left on 9 minutes, this is noteworthy. When on the left, Luis normally looks to drop the shoulder and cut inside. It is his classic play; consider his goal against Motherwell and the disallowed effort against Lazio. The trouble is, defenders know this is what he likes to do, so are ready for it.
If he can regularly hit the byline and cross with his left, he will be even more effective cutting inside, as defenders would have to cover both options. This is the classic John Robertson play, cut inside for a shot (Hamburg), hit the byline and cross (Malmo). Luis added a third option, crossing from a deeper position with the outside of his right foot, for Oh to complete the rout. This demonstrated his fondness for his right and where the main development gains are to be made.
Yang Hyun-jun (21), got his landmark first goal for Celtic (see above left foot cross by Palma), even before this, he was a handful for the Aberdeen defence. So far this season, competition for space on the Celtic wings has been tough. Yang has had to wait for sporadic opportunities. Injuries to Abada and Maeda will see us lean on the young Korean during the busy period after the international break.
We will have a feel for his potential by Christmas. That blast of pace he has over 5 yards – and the ability to take the ball with him – is something no one else at the club can match. The material is there for Celtic to develop. Injuries have provided a pivotal moment in the development of Celtic players before, think of Leigh Griffiths’ injury in Augst 2016 which opened the door for Moussa Dembele. The wide-right jersey is up for grabs for the next six weeks, Yang has his stage.
I spent much of the second half wanting Aberdeen’s Rubezic to get a second yellow after his awful ‘challenge’ on Kyogo, which VAR should have adjusted to a straight red. This was tempered after I looked up Aberdeen’s next fixture. Being Aberdeen manager is not for the faint hearted. They kept Celtic out for an hour between the second and third goals, on that hill, Barry Robson has to build his fort.

Need – Meed – Mead its a sign I tell ye.

Ahhh feck it.
– Our board sit at the back of the bus whilst every referee cheats us and allows our players to be assaulted.
– Bans our own fans.
Meanwhile Huns in dire need of cash.
Mmmmm🤔🤔🤔
D :)
Remember when us antipodeans were called moon howlers, don’t have a look in now. Long season ahead winning the league is a must to get another go at CL.
I had a ” Plough Mans Lunch” one day….HE BATTERED the Feck outta me for eating his lunch.
LOL

DAVID66……
Pity that Rileys game was ” OFF”.
I used to HATE that when I fit enough and young enough to play Fitba.
Sometimes, I would have a word with the REF to ” encourage” him to put the game ON, when he was inspecting the Pitch.
It didnt always work.
LOL

Anyone here play at the 50 pitches or Belahouston in the 60’s? I can’t remember any games ever being cancelled because of weather conditions. We played on in rain, Hail, snow and winds. One of our pre match limber up was to jump up and down in the biggest puddles to get really wet and conditioned coupled with chants of ‘KILL, KILL, KILL’. Seemed to work well as we rarely lost a game. I played for Glasgow University Arts Department in the Glasgow and District Colleges League. I still have some league and cup winners medals.
Played on the 50 pitches in the 70’s. We used to travel all over Glasgow (from the Red Road) getting pumped up to 13-0. Under 11’s and we were all about 9. We even had a girl playing for us (who was as good as the boys). When we all reached 10 & 11, then we started to win most of our games. We thought we were great, but were beatean in some final by a team from the Gorbals. Tho it was played at Glasgow Green. Later, used to watch “men” playing some good games in the Colleges league in the pitches at All Saints school/Barmulloch College.
Good Morning – Grand Day To Be A Tim…
Interesting POTY this weekend, considering how many candidates we had for the top spots, 243 votes for the top three is staggering.
SFtBs @ 7:42 PM
Thanks for the link to “famous psychological experiments”, fascinating.
Did you know that the top three votes total in the POTY, when added together makes up to Nine, which is of huge significance and guarantees we are going to win the league;)
Have A Great Day Fholk
Hail Hail
As well as medals I also have quite few old scars, particularly in the ankles region. You can even count the stud marks on some of them, particularly when it is cold and the scars appear blue/purple.
Re Barmulloch
I remember the first time we went there for a cup game. We went there by car(s) from the University Union. Being a Clydebank man I didn’t have scooby about where we were going. Then at one point in the journey the team captain announced that we had successfully gone through Blackhill unscathed. I believe Blackhill and it’s residents had a bad reputation. Rumours that the police walked the beat in threes.

I was brought up in Brand New Barmulloch from the age of four. I am not looking back through rose-coloured spectacles when I say it was a fine and friendly place. I can STILL name almost every family in Bishopmill Road where I grew up. It was a genuine community street with weekly Bingo in a local school and annual Bus Runs to Saltcoats etc.
We often walked through Blackhill on our way to the Rex and Vogue Picture Halls and I would say it was a poor place rather than a violet area. As is common, though, people liked to describe it as a dangerous place. I didn`t find it so.

More analysis on the internationals
HH
When we moved from Parkhead to Riddrie, I went for a walk through Blackhill one evening. My Dad told me never to do that again on my own. Such was it’s reputation.
There was a saying at the time: one third of the male population of Blackhill were in Barlinnie; one third were just out and the other third were waiting to go in.
PARKHEADCUMSALFORD on 14TH NOVEMBER 2023 9:53 AM
In my experience, it was MUCH more reputation than reality.
Mind you, there was,supposedly, one `resident` who kept a horse in the bathroom two floors up !
I think having a bathroom was more surprising than having a horse in it :-)
The content of my posts shows that It is quite obviously an International week.
Cheerio for now.
Hot Smoked,
I’m sure you’re right.
Ron
I played in goal on the 50 pitches as well as many others – I’ve still got bits of black ask in my knees.
Apparently grass was for grazing sheep.my elder brother was ar Glasgow uni and I played for his team – think it was an intra dept league. He took chemistry – would have been better if we’d taken chemicals 🤭
It would have been 66 onward
Seen Rod Steward described as a ‘super-fan’ in a headline today.
I have also seen other folk described as this.
How does one receive such a label? What are the criteria and is there somewhere I can apply for this accolade?
Gene,
Thanks for the reply last night. Only read it this morning.
I take it they are able to pay their creditors on time at this moment in time.
HOT SMOKED
International break time should be used for us old farts to reminisce about our time as youngish Celtic supporters and our exploits in amateur football, following Celtic to away games in Europe, going to the dancing on a Saturday night, supporters bus and stops on way to Aberdeen game, etc.
LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE @ 10:35 AM

Lol LADTH.
Criteria: be in the public eye often therefore generate easy copy for lazy hacks.
Applies equally to supermodels & supergroups.
That awkward moment when the area of Glasgow one side of your family come from is discussed candidly.
🤦😉🤫

Glad to see it’s being noticed……
I played for the college of building and printing.
82-85.
Coming up from the port on my own and getting out to pitches all over the city.
I must have been daft.
