Don’t get the flack it’s only 1-0. Hayes missed a shocker too. They could easily get a draw out of this. 

 

 

Well they're bottom of the league now 😁

Yeah the £50-100m difference in class is all in their head, they just need a bit of mentality why do they never win in Glasgow? Lack of fight obviously

Aye, lack of fight, belief and not going for it. 

If they'd done that celtic would have been shell shocked.

Like most games in Glasgow. 

 

It's like a training session of attack v defence. 

Pile of shite. 

 

Aberdeen missed their one glorious chance to score but in general it's just waiting to see how many they score. 

 

 

Dull as ****.

Can't judge a team properly when away to one of the Uglies ,that said the Sheep look a bit functional and bland .

Celtic a bit rusty so there was a chance to try to get something .

I think functional and bland seems to be how Goodwin likes his teams. They will be better than last season, but nothing there (yet) to worry us

Just curious. Was there no outstanding candidates to be captain? Haven’t been too impressed with Stewart thus far. 


Well, that’s us bottom of the league, the only way is up now 😝

I'm sure league reconstruction or whatever it was would help you again

It's also unlikely that you'll finish the league on 0 points, but after today it's still possible...

That Anthony Stewart is absolutely terrible. 


I did mention that to be given the captains role from nowhere seemed a bit weird. Also said he had a big mouth with no substance.

 

Anyway. Did Aberdeen “huv a go” today or was Robbie their manager today 🙄

I wasn’t trying to be wide or anything was just genuinely curious.
 

I always like to think I’m on the pulse with most Scottish Prem clubs but with such a big turnover of players it was hard with your lot this summer!

Didn’t think you were.

I was just making a point of showing up at our lowest point.

The league was always reconstructing from 10 teams to 12 teams.

10th place was not guaranteed relegation.

There was supposed to be a three way play off between Aberdeen, Falkirk (3rd in first division) and Dunfermline (2nd in first division), with 2 out of the 3 teams to join St Mirren as the First Division Champions in the SPL.

 

We therefore were not saved from relegation, but spared from the 3 way playoff as Falkirk did not meet the leagues requirements at the time

The game was what I thought it would be.

‘Celtic are a good side, we were missing players who will make a difference in the weeks and months to come

but you finished bottom which in any other season would have guaranteed relegation therefore  were factually  saved by reconstruction ?

Celtic were awful and won 2 0 just the way our League is.

 

Good off the ball awful on it, don't remember them ever that sloppy in possession when we play them

Didn’t catch the whole game, saw bits of the 2nd half while pottering about the house.

 

You can talk about the gulf in finance etc…blah blah blah but there’s no excuse for some of the inaccurate, slack play from non-OF teams through there.

 

3, 4 times I saw Aberdeen have time on the ball 10, 15 yards outside their box after clearing, only to play underhit or the wrong type of pass up to their strikers on half way, often 2 on 2.   Not saying they’d go on to score but you should be dealing with that and being able to build an attack.  Every team is the same. 
 

Funnily, I thought we did that well on our first visit last season as I remember a good 20 min spell of being on top in the 2nd half.  Not so much in the 2nd game there though.

all in line with the rules set before the season started.

Nothing was changed just to suit us.

Celtics wage bill is about 10x bigger than ours, they’ve got a squad worth about £100 million and they spend more on a single player than we can spend in 20+ years.
 

And that’s when you compare them against us, a club that’s financially sound.
 

Imagine how much bigger that gap becomes when you start comparing them to Ross County, St Mirren and St Johnstone etc…

 

People who think the key to beating them is just having a go at them and putting them on the back foot are dreaming, unfortunately.

Yip.

 

Im sure they played PSG maybe 5 years ago and they said the budget difference was 7 or 8x bigger and Celtic couldn't possibly compete. 

 

Then they played Ross County and someone claimed the difference in budget was 16x bigger for Celtic but no mention of that just how good Celtic were in blowing them away.

The Glasgow media, without a hint of awareness, call their league wins historic and monumental 😂

Is it not true you were spared relegation during the First World War after finishing bottom as relegation was scrapped? Aberdeen then withdrew from the league for a couple of seasons due to being unable to afford to compete and on the basis they would reenter the league in the top flight, which was expanded to accommodate them, Raith and Dundee, who had also withdrawn?

There wasn't a division to be relegated to during WW1. 
 

Division two was scrapped, was just one big league. It wasn't reinstated until 1921.

Yes, I said relegation was scrapped due to the war. 🙄
