This is killing me

Ojo doesn't seem like the type to enjoy this match.  Please prove me wrong.

Aberdeen foul a lot.  Scittish referees are incompetent.  Elvis is dead.  The Beatles have split up.

Ah well, let's just accept it then.

That's pretty astounding.

Aberdeen have played this way for years.  Moaning about it is pointless.  You adapt and overcome it or get dragged into it and struggle. 

 

Kent, Davis, Arfield and Aribo need to do more.

Not really, they are making illegal challenges and getting away with it.  Our game is based on playing football.  If they are allowed away with it then we are going to struggle to win by playing by the rules.  We must complain about this stuff.

Some real hammer throwers here, if the ref refuses to book them then what can we do?  It's crazy what you can get away with in our game.

What a save from McGregor!!

Worryingly slack from Katic though.

This is pretty horrible football, I wouldn't be bringing Hagi into this today I don't think.

I hope this Dykes talk is nonsense, I don’t see anything in the guy.

Jordan Jones to Middlesbrough on loan.

Strange one, whilst he never exactly set the heather alight he was still a better option than some that are still at the club.  I think he really pissed off Gerrard when he got his red card, but that surely can't be the only reason.

Exactly the type of qualities we need in the team but clearly the lad still has a lot of improving to do.

 

I'd have preferred a more finished article but I'm not sure we can afford such luxuries nowadays.

Previously I would be more concerned, but I think now we have a coaching team in place that have proven they can improve footballers.  Looks like this lad has talent, fingers crossed we can coach him to see it consistently.

Difficult not to get excited about this one.  He's only a boy but Jesus, hopefully he has a bit of his dads magic in his feet.

Worried to see Morelos on now.  I'm sure it's fine, but Jesus we might need to bring someone in before the next couple of days are up.

Can you provide an example?

 

Which response was this?

It's literally in the posts before I posted.  
 

And now there is someone claiming I've said there is no anti-British sentiment across the entirety of Ireland.  I never said that, I said I've lived here for more than three years and I haven't experienced anything, no one cares, they are just normal people like you or I.

I'm not saying there aren't people in the Celtic support like this, but not all the Celtic support are like that nor are all Irish people.

I think Kent is vital to us.  Even on his worst game of the season yesterday, he still scored.

Well you can nit pick all you want, the fact is we were poor as a team, just the same as we are good as a team. 

Not not picking, I think Morelos would have been better at holding up the ball and bringing others into play, as well as being able to produce something from nothing.  We'll just have to disagree.  I'm by no means letting off the rest of the team.

Morelos played v Hearts last time we were there did he not?

The one where we drew and he scored or the one where we thrashed them and he scored?

Just saying Morelos is capable of making something from nothing, we've seen it time and again.  In this sort of game he has the ability to make something for himself.

Our problems today had nothing to do with a striker!

Don't agree at all, if Morelos played do you think the chances of winning the game would have improved or stayed the same?  For me if Morelos played we would be far, far more potent up front today.

I'd like another striker in. Even if these situations are extreme (No Morelos or Stewart), we do need something different.

 

But, I'm not going to blame that on this performance. We've been awful since the restart, and I think we've been fortunate to not lose more points. 

 

Aribo was the only player that did well today; and Goldson. The rest were terrible -- even Davis, who's usually so dependable, couldn't even make a simple 5 yard pass.  

This is why I don't get why we never brought in someone like Shankland or the other lad at Dunfermline, sometimes you just need options to change up the game.  Shankland at least offers an opportunity to head the ball too.

Terrible.  Against bottom of the league.

Problem with our strikers is that I feel one can only work alone and the other can only work with a partner.

Honestly, this is where Celtic up a gear, I feel like they would take something from this match even after going 2-1 down so late.  We need to get something desperately 

Aribo losing his head

Good fecking grief.  To be honest we've been warned over the previous 180 mins that we have to up our game and we simply haven't.  It's almost like we beat Celtic and think 'job done'.  Need to take something from this, we must score.

That was stunning play from Aribo. 

 

It just whistles past the far post. 

It was brilliant, hope the lad stays a while, think he will be brilliant for us.
