Robson’s grit returns to its main stage

273
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Aberdeen last beat Celtic in May 2018, the final game of a league season that saw Celtic win their 7th consecutive title and a result that was required for the visitors to finish second in the table.  Since then, the teams have met 20 times, with the Pittodrie side avoiding defeat on only three occasions.

Recent games have been an exercise in Celtic only just getting the job done.  A 2-0 win on the opening day of the season was the solitary occasion more than a goal has separated the sides in the last 8 outings.

The world changed for Aberdeen on one of those games.  The last time the sides met, in December, an 87th minute Callum McGregor strike turned a potential backs-to-the-wall draw into a dispiriting defeat for manager Jim Goodwin.  After that, the roof caved in.  Home and away defeats to St Mirren paled into insignificant to the 5-0 and 6-0 drubbings at Hearts and Hibs, either side of the Scottish Cup exit at Darvel.

Goodwin made way for Barry Robson as interim manager.  A 3-1 win in their last game, against Motherwell, kept them within a point of the top six, and led to Steven Hammell’s losing his Motherwell job.  No Celtic fans were surprised fortunes picked up when Barry took control.  His grit and professional pride will be out toughest obstacle tomorrow.  Celtic Park has seen its share of his talent.

    We are on the HCS,huv been since Newco arrived. Even when Aidan was a Child we got wan ticket @ the Dump……..against Newco. I let him go (worried like nothing on Earth).

    We lost last Season because I only got a ticket away from Aidan after Tickets became available. Try saying that to Ange.

    Whilst clearing my library, 2 CD’s dropped out of a book entitled “Disc 1 Celtic Vs Dundee, 1985” & “Disc 2 Celtic Vs Dundee’.

     

     

    The CD’s are dated 2013ans were done thru Kodi. I have no recollection of them

     

     

    Eventually got them working…so just about to watch the game.

     

     

    Incidentally I got my arm slashed at this game by some arsehole. It was also the day of the new turnstiles and me and my mates climbed in.

     

     

    If anyone wants the CD’s I’ll happily forward them on

    Woke- is the shutting down of debate.used by those who do not debate.history as a fixed fact always.simplistic,being led,it ģave us Brexit.

     

    theres is an empty nothingness in its use,and i have not had it explained once to me in its language use.very unhip:-))

     

    funnily enough Trump calling out as woke the teaching of slavery on my radio for a second.its a nothing word.but is toxic when used,esp by those like russian funded Donald.

    Sportscene just showed 2-1 versus Aberdeen to win BR’s first treble.

     

     

    Commentator said we’d won the treble three times before in our history.

     

     

    Then we did it 4 times in a row.

     

     

    Unbelievable.

    An tearmann, all good my friend . Got a free pass for Scotstoun for 28 days to do weights. Why 28 days? No idea. 28 days reminds me of a zombie film. 😁

    I skipped to second half of game as that was when all the goals were.

    An T,

     

     

    If Scotland went for real independence, even though it would likely cost me my job, I’d say Yes.

     

     

    I despise Big Governments, ye probably realised that frae lots of jibber jabber on CQN.

     

     

    So for Scotland to break away frae the UK to join the EU. That baffled me.

     

     

    Anyway, Aiberdeen usually bring a Support, when heading to the Springfield Road a few bellends kick aff. Celtic will score 5

  27. Art of War on

    Davie Provan’s free kick to make it 1-1 was only the third to be scored from a direct free kick. Interesting no?

    I reckon Aaron can stay aloof frae the utter madness a Celtic Newco Cup Final brings to the Betty Grable.

    Ange interview with Chris Sutton reviewing last season.

     

    My admiration and respect for this guy has risen even further. He comes over as a direct, no nonsense person commanding respect.

     

    Well worth a wee look waiting for today’s game.

     

    How lucky we are.

    In recognition of your dry February I’ll toast your absence around 1pm today 🍺

    Buzzing to see the Celtic today. These are the best Celtic times I have enjoyed in my life.

     

     

    Every game is to look forward to. We have already scored more league goals than in Brendan’s entire second season. Great football played in the true Celtic way.

     

     

    Today brings back memories of former decades though. A 3pm kick off on a Saturday at the same time as our rivals. This doesn’t happen often.

     

     

    With a week between games we should be raring to go. For me it feels like an eternity since I have been at Celtic park not a couple of weeks ( I had to miss last weeks game ).

     

     

    Hopefully a great result and a great performance. Hopefully an overdue wee slip up for Beale at Livingston.

     

     

    I know it’s unlikely but I would love us to hold onto our manager until the new ECL format starts in the season after next. That will give him and us a real platform to shine on.
