HarleyQuinn Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) I'm not too disappointed. Celtic/Rangers are streets ahead of everyone in our league. Many teams are going to get a thumping by Celtic at Parkhead this season. Think we would have secured a draw had Scales been available and McCrorie was in midfield. Barron (best youngster since Eion Jess) would have made a difference too. Stewart is colossal in defence. Miovski and Ramadani are going to be big players for us. Personally I'm really pleased with the signings. I like the look of all the new signings and I'm confident after having seen that performance we'll be absolutely fine this season. Looking forward to next weekend where I think we'll kick off our season. Edited July 31, 2022 by HarleyQuinn 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt that Celtic, apart from some of their finishing, played almost as well as they can. There are a lot of teams that will come to Celtic Park this season and leave with thumpings. Look at how we tried to play out with the goal kicks Joey. That was embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things were so depressing under Glass I lost all hope. Next week will prove to be a more accurate measure of where Aberdeen currently at but the early signs appear we are an improved side from last season. I'm excited by our chances of a good season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that when you're playing against a high pressing teams. 100 times out of 100 the ball ends up back with the goalie who kicks it up the park, which is what should have happened in the first place. But hopefully we'll learn from today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If better in front of goal that could have been a sore one for them, the second half was a training match.

I felt that Celtic, apart from some of their finishing, played almost as well as they can. There are a lot of teams that will come to Celtic Park this season and leave with thumpings. We made it difficult for ourselves, we gifted them a goal start, and aside from a ten minute spell before half-time, where we looked good, we sat far too deep and invited the pressure onto ourselves. However, given that it's a new team then fair enough but we were playing our 5th competitive match of the season compared to opponents who were playing their first. If Celtic had been match sharp then putting in a display like that could've easily earned us a 5-0, 6-0 or 7-0 humiliation. Goodwin and the team will get a pass today because it's early doors for the new players but playing like that in Glasgow just won't cut it for the fans (including myself) going forward. It's just the same old pap we've been subjected to for years. Push the defence up higher and get the midfield congested instead of giving their players an opportunity to showboat.

kingjoey Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 By the way, what the hell was that pish where the Aberdeen team had to stand around while the entitled Celtic support sang the entire version of You'll Never Walk Alone before the match was allowed to kick off? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
