  1. By the way Johnston doesnt need to back into their keeper, he just needs to stand still and let Idah header the ball or make Mitov climb over him to get to the ball, stupid move from him.

  2. Just on bus on way back and have mixed emotions. Could have scored 4 on another day but parts of the game were similar to much of the first half of last season. Zzzz.

     

     

    Aberdeen killed the game with time wasting anytime we threatened to get any momentum or concerted pressure with no action at all from the ref.

     

     

    I’d like to see the handball at the death again too

  3. There was a 10-15 minute pell around the hour mark when we were teetering on the brink. There was a moment that summed it up when Calmac received the ball in space, ran across the park and carelessly got dispossessed. From no danger, we were suddenly scrambling to recover.

     

    Dons gave a great account of themselves and to get back in the game speaks volumes for their self belief. Looks like they have found themselves an excellent coach.

     

    We were unlucky not to grab a winner. From the 80th minute you could sense it was coming. Idah’s injury time header only had to go a few inches either side of the keeper and we’d be saying job well done.

     

     

    And that looked like a certain hand ball at the death. The angle he was standing on the line means the ball must have come off his arm to come back out.

    Evening all.

     

     

    Just in from game.

     

     

    One could say it was a great game.

     

     

    Another day could have scored 4.

     

     

    We seem a bit disconnected after international breaks.

     

     

    I’ve no energy to pick it apart.

     

     

    We’ve got a weak chin. I’ll leave it at that.

    *all part of the saving the hun plan as if or should I say when they win the morra that leaves them only 3 points behind the leaders and you know how they will be ramped out for our next visit there

     

    although they do visit the pen o the wed before the semis

    Referee is a school teacher?

     

     

    He was a pupil today, schooled by the Aberdeen manager and players.

    CalMac is a big part of our problems in Europe. Or rather, his position is. We lack a genuine defensive midfielder and leave our CBs far too exposed. CalMac links and builds the play up well but can’t see the danger and offers next to nothing in shielding our CBs.

     

     

    Not a really a problem in Scotland but at the higher levels in kills us. Today for a short time, our backline was far too exposed.

     

     

    Strachan had Lennon, Lennon had Wanyama. We need that kind of midfield player to do more in europe and that clearly is not Calmac.

    Good to see you after the match today.

     

     

    Hopefully catch up again at the next gathering.

    Can’t remember the last time I saw the ref blow for FT when the ball wasn’t in play either.

     

     

    For all my moaning about the time wasting antics had we deployed a bit more of the dark arts in Dortmund it might have helped us.

     

     

    Until they introduce a 60m game time clock it will always be this way. Players did well towards the end not to let it frustrate them as much as it did me and most around me

    *this is all about keepin sevco relevant, even if they win sfa the other sfa will do their utmost tae make sure their crowds don’t dwindle

  11. An Dun – agreed.

     

     

    P S Watching our defence makes me wonder why sweepers went out of fashion. Someone who’s positional sense and ability to spot danger across the back line was the priority..

     

    Bring back Beckenbauer 😃

  12. Can’t help to think if CCV was playing we would not have been so open for both goals ……….

    ………………….

     

     

    So 113 minutes of short corner kicks all taken by the £11 million invisible man, whilst 2 wingers stood and watched him, was’t long enough for you?

    To be fair, it’s a role that’s probably not required for our domestic matches. But it’s a problem for us, no doubt. Even their second goal, Maeda makes a central pass but Calmac isn’t there, that’s where Maeda expects his no. 6 to be.

     

     

    I have sympathy for BR when fans talk about changing things up in europe – when you’ve a midfield with no genuine defensive minded players then you’ll be cut open, regardless.

  15. Just home feet up glass of wine dinner on.

     

     

    Key men Maeda and Khun were not as good as recent today for me and

     

    complacency cost us 2 points as usual we missed today we missed CCV and poor 1st goal to conceded no pace between Trusty in particular or Scales on that race and young Valle was good but look jaded near the end I’m in 107 in the North Stand not seen or read about the match. We will reset and go again after Bergamo I feel.

  16. Ii was at the Bologna v Atalanta game. Having watched that I’ll be amazed if we score. A 0:0 would be a great result.

  17. Corner kicks !!!!!!waste of time for us.Abysmal.No matter who takes them.

     

    Had to be a hand ball on the line today.

     

    Maeda,absolutely shocking today.

     

    Scales is not learning how to keep positional sense.

     

    Engels has to do more.

     

    Apart from all that,hard to believe we did not get a winner today.Aberdeen,? we will see in a couple of weeks.Not bad in spells today.

    The game lived up to its box office billing – a fantastic game for the neutral.

     

     

    As a Celtic supporter there were too many Dortmund flashbacks in that second half for my liking.

  19. just home after having to wait for train due to cancellations , anyway defensive frailties and poor decision making in their box and just outside it cost us today, what’s up with CCV ,was he being kept for midweek ,if he was it cost us today , defensively, when we are attacked we are poor , meada was terrible today and young Valle look knackered and was he wearing football boots or was it ice skates .

  20. Calmac needs a mate and a rest the others get 60 mins or 30mins plus I’m praying Luke can become that guy.

  21. also how did the dandy dons finish with 11 men on the pitch ,celebrated like they had won the league , but fair doos they gave us a game but their game plan of time wasting and consistent fouling was a bore , the ref could not blow his whistle quick enough for full-time so that he didn’t have to award a pen to us, screens inside pitch still showing VAR possible pen but he still blows for time up , strange.

  22. I’m getting concerned about Engels.

     

     

    not the only one , young player needing time to settle in , but come on £11m.

     

    and Idah needs more composure for a £9m .

  23. Aberdeen put in a shift. We should have won – clinical with chances – foot off the pedal at 2-0. A very good game to watch.

     

    Will Aberdeen beat Sevco? Nope – if they play the way they competed to-day, with the same tackles, they will be down to nine by half time.

  24. While I thought Aberdeen were lucky to keep all their players on the park, I thought some of our defending, especially in the second half was very very poor. We gave the ball away too easily far too often. If we do the same against Atalanta, it could well be another cricket score.

  25. Excited voices and speech on Sportscene tonight,amazing what Celtic dropping points does for the resident Huns.

  26. On reflection great game today…..how much better would Scottish football be if every team played proper open expansive football… Aberdeen could have won the game today with their second half performance….. ultimately it would benefit Scottish football if all the teams played like this…..unfortunately it just wont happen ..pity !!

  27. glendalystonsils on

    Have only seen the highlights on Sportscene but jings almighty! Glad it was ‘only’ Aberdeen we were playing as for a big chunk of the second half I was getting horrible Dortmund flashbacks .

     

    Worrying fragility , the sooner CCV is back the better . That’s unlikely to this Tuesday unfortunately .
