Two great finishes from Taylor & Ajer too. Really enjoyed the game. I thought we were better for the majority although never really did enough to win. Tough to lose but there was no real anger from anyone leaving the stadium as far as I could see. Plenty either applauded walking up the stairs or stood at their seats applauding. All you can really ask for is a performance like that when you are up against the best team in the country. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He simply couldn't get back in time to mark Ajer. As ever, Andy put in a fantastic shift....if he'd had that extra yard of pace throughout his career he would have had the international caps he deserves. As to Dallas, I honestly can't see much that he did wrong yesterday. It was a physical tussle, but I thought he let the game flow well and only booked players when he needed to. In all honestly it was one of the best refereeing performances I've seen in a long time. We will agree to disagree on both points. I like Andy but don't commit if you can't get back. Primary job is to defend and not attack, as negative as that sounds. As for Dallas, I thought he was woefully inconsistent for both teams and is way out of his depth. Nah mate not having that. if a wide player attacks and is caught up the park, it’s the role of another team mate, usually a holding type midfielder to cover. The kind of thing Scott Brown dies and it doesn’t often get noticed. No blame on Considine at all, I thought he had a really good game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Not sure if someone has already mentioned it on here, but that was a really embarrassing dive by McLelland yesterday. No room for that at Aberdeen. Couldn’t understand why Ajer didn’t get a yellow for going to the South Stand AFC support to over celebrate instead of going to the Celtic section a few yards up the pitch. One of my least favourite Celtic players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 More annoyed that McKenna got bullied by the thumb for their first goal, in the build up. He’s got to deal with that better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Mckenna was very good yesterday in general tbh. Mclennan should have a word with himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Considine is busting a gut trying to help to win a match against the best team in the country, and gets dogs abuse. You couldn’t make it up. Celtic are undoubtedly the best counter attacking team in the league, and we were done by a superb piece of skill by Edouard and a great run and pass by Forrest, who I hadn’t noticed was on the pitch up to then. Proud of my team yesterday. AC cetrainly wasn't busting a gut getting back, he stood and watched his ball in too long and wasn't that far away from Ajer at the HW line but then left trotting back when Ajer put on a spurt and allowed him a touch before firing his shot and AC was still yards away. That said apart from that he has been good of late at CB & the whole team showed great fight so hopefully kick on from now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I’m only disappointed that he didn’t sell the dive better and win the pen. Diving is funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From where I'm sat in the Merkland it looked like he was tripped and delayed his reaction before going down. Having seen it again on tv it's a shocker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you can really ask for is a performance like that when you are up against the best team in the country. For me Celtic had the more clear cut chances if you add the Edouard and Hayes ones can't think of any Aberdeen ones other than a few half chances. The vast improvement from the last game at pittodrie was the middle of the park, Aberdeen played the game 20 yards up the pitch. If the boy Greg Leigh had been playing would we be posting about a draw? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No blame on Considine at all, I thought he had a really good game.See I'll disagree (and I'm knit picking because I'm very happy with our performance yesterday) on the basis that our holding player, Ojo, had been struggling for a good five minutes before the winner. A bit more positional discipline when carrying an injured player might have seen us see out the point we deserved as a minimum.However I am very much being a grinch here, so apologies to all. Nothing personal. Just very frustrated to put so much in as a team and get f**k all from it. We were superb as a team, even McKenna who outside the weakness for the first goal dealt with the Celtic front two very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajer wasn't sprinting back, only picked up the pace late on, if Considine had been a few yards away he could have made a challenge or at least put him off but he was jogging back as he's not that slow! I only seen it live so will have a look again but I called it when Consodine was watching/admiring his cross in that he'd be out of position & we'd lose one. We'll see if he gets back quicker next time the situation arises if not then fair enough & I will stand corrected 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if he gets back quicker next time the situation arises if not then fair enough & I will stand corrected Considine was also posted missing in St Johnstone's early breakaway goal in the 0-1 midweek sh1test a couple of weeks back. We can't really complain though, as time and again we're left using a centre half as a LB - and the fans have been demanding a more positive attitude in these fixtures. Consi gives everything, and was excellent vs Accies, but will often be the player found wanting when Celtic score. Saying that, it was evident way before Ajer's finish when Celtic turned it over after Consi had got forward that he wasn't getting back - and Edouard's fairly sublime touch knocked the rest of the side off synch completely. A point would have been nice - but in this fixture it was probably all about how we played - and hearts and minds are likely more positive with a 1-2 defeat on the front foot, rather than a 0-0 having parked the bus.

Agree with all that, he has been very good for long time and has had better matches than McKenna. As for the team hopefully something to bulid from and get something from the tougher matches We'll see how it goes tonight... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
