Another bore fest from Ronnys Rhobots!
Step forward Dedryck Boyata and Craig Thomson. A dash of stupidity and sprinkle in some incompetence and we get another Celtic feck up!
Ronny continues to baffle and bemuse with his team selections and substitutions in equal measure. Oh well at least as lm off the bevvy for Lent I don't have a hangover.
Ronny out!

I hope those pushing Stubbs for the Celtic job have taken note of tonight's result.
Quite apart from the fact he's achieved nothing yet he can hardly string a sentence together!
-
Not sure about Paterson. He's improved but enough to merit a cap?
-
The only players who are definitely worth a call up on merit are Shinnie, Griffiths, Tierney and Rhodes imo.
We desperately need options at centre back though and any names there are worth a shout.
Shinnie and Tierney are at slightly different stages of development I think.
I wouldn't like to see Tierney rushed in too soon if that makes sense.

I have honestly never heard of that. I genuinely thought you meant he was slippery!!!!! That's too funny!!
This has taken a bizarre turn! Now I have images of India Taylor oiling the big man up pre-match!

This smells of backtrack - but go on.......
It's a saying, that someone is such and such a weight 'dripping wet'.
You don't say what age you are but clearly youve never heard it...by feck youve made me laugh today.
Cheers!

Of course it's about opinions. Watch it again and look at where Draper is looking, the angle of his body and where his arms are (round Taylor). Not sure that Taylor being sweaty is really the basis of a good defence and how it in anyway mitigates what Draper is doing!
Haha, I've only just realised you actually think I was suggesting that Draper was unable to get hold of Taylor because he was sweaty pmsl lolololol :-)

You're paraphrasing in a way that makes a link that is not there. Try and recognise the power of the full stop.
The implied logic is that I doubt Mr.Draper could drag Ash Taylor anywhere he doesn't wish to go. I did enjoy your child like logic that insisted that these last 3 incidents would have changed the result (by the power of Mathematics I believe). Of course if the first penalty is awarded Aberdeen may have scored but the rest of the game unfolds in a different way. It's as least as likely that Aberdeen throw too many up top and lose another on the break.
As others can probably guess, it's a slow day at work today.

Yup - we've cleared that bit up already though. It's all about opinions. What we haven't cleared up is why in your opinion it isn't a pen. So far we've had (and forgive me for paraphrasing) "it was 3-1 at the time" and "Taylor is wet"?!
I can see why you want me to drop this....so I will!! Have a splendid day and congratulations on winning the league again. Although, I don't think that was ever in any doubt.
OK now you are being silly as never at any point did I cite these as reasons not to award the penalty. I did respond to your list of reasons as to why Aberdeen didn't get the result, by stating that 3 of the 4 valid points you raised occurred when Aberdeen were already in deep trouble ie 3-1 down.
To clarify I disagree with your 'opinion' that Taylor was hauled down. As I've already stated the big lump was running backwards and off balance and that was the major factor in him falling over imo and that my friend is my last on the subject.

He wasn't falling down already though! He was trying to knock a header back across the box. He was getting there easily if Draper hadn't dragged him to the ground. The fact Taylor is wet further strengthens the argument - just how much of a hold did Draper actually have in managing to pull down a bar of soap? You're absolutely correct that we aren't going to agree! It's about as strong a penalty appeal as you will see....
In your opinion.

My point was and is that Taylor is in the process of falling over anyway but we're not going to agree so let's just leave it.

This doesn't make a much sense. Why does it matter what the score was when the incidents happened? Incidents 2,3 and 4 most likely represent 3 goals. At 3-1 - I'm sure you do the maths. Goals completely change games.
How anyone can argue the Taylor "pen" wasn't a pen bemuses me and the offside decision relates to the Pawlett "goal", not the Inverness third. Clearly onside.
Anyway, we've only ourselves to blame for letting Collum ref the game the way he did. Didn't see too many Aberdeen players in his face. We are easy to give shocking decisions against.
Ok I'll go along with this for a bit but try and remember its only an opinion u have. Taylor is about 6'5 and 15stone dripping wet. He was falling backwards off balance all the way so despite the attentions of the defender its not a pen imo

That's a bit too harsh.
We've been good enough to take 6 points out of 9 from Celtic, and win the vast majority of our games this season. But given the relatively limited resources and small playing squad we have, we're probably not good enough to retain the absolute consistency of performance that's needed to win a league Championship.
We are where we should be in the league.
Maybe that's what you meant, I don't know.
Yeah all that I would agree with, although I'm sure you would agree that your chairman's unwillingness to invest and therefore compete against a Celtic side put together by the worst manager since Luigi Macari is a key factor!

Just waiting for Slasher to post something about a bottle now......
It's nothing to do with bottle, you're just not good enough as I've said before. Sorry to disappoint.

So you seriously thought that:
1. The Draper, no contact, incident was a pen?
2. The exact same incident with Shinnie but where there was contact, was not a pen?
3. Ash Taylor being bundled to the ground was not a pen.
4. The "offside" goal we scored was "offside"?
If so, then you have a point. Although, I assume you're just having a larf.....
Take the red specs off! Incidents 2,3 and 4 occurred at 3-1 down. Anyway I think the ref got the Taylor claim and the offside call correct although I agree Shinnie should have had a pen. Also, should Aberdeen fans not be having a go at Draper for diving instead of Collum?
I did laugh at the 'we know you're a tim' chants at Collum, I've lost count of the number of shocking decisions he's given against us lol
-
I agree to a point, we do have a share of the day trip hooray Henry type amid our support, but i would say the majority are good football people & are passionate about the game.
This. The boys I go with certainly aren't happy to accept failure but there's not much we can do about the day trippers and the arseholes who put on a kilt and suddenly think they're hilarious except don't indulge them.
-
I love how fans on here can't wait to get fans of other clubs into trouble. Like primary school kids the lot of you.
There's no moral high ground for anyone, we've all got our problem elements....so get over yourselves!
-
Even by our own utterly ordinary standards that was truly pish, Ronny out!
Have Aberdeen booked an open top bus for May yet?
-
It's no gonnae happen anyway, so why don't you all just relax.
How do I know this for sure? Cos Mark McGhee has tipped Aberdeen and Leicester for title success!
-
Nae worries you were well entitled to your celebrations ;-)
-
Ok, I've had another look Redz and yes CKR could easily have walked. I stand by my initial view on the Rooney incident though....foul outside the box, no pen.
-
Congratulations to the Dons! Brilliant result and I pray they can go the distance and trump these f'uckers. It would be sensational for World football not just Scottish fitba' after the domination of the ugly two. Special mention for PARKLIFE as all the way from Chicago(where is it again?) lol.
Chuffed to bits for the Dons on here and Rossy, milk it laddie as you deserve it!
There's nothing like keeping things in perspective.....and that was nothing like it. Sensational for world fitba? You need a lie down son!

Back on track.
East Kilbride must fancy their chances at set pieces on Sunday. The whole Celtic defence looked like they'd never seen a ball before and were stunned by this white spinning object every time it flew into the box.
They took their lead from Craig Gordon, who frankly, is awful. Awful, on cross balls.
Been saying for ages he needs dropped but he gets an easy ride because of the shambles in front of him.
KT and Thumb are the shining lights for us. Failing to attack to the ball at the 2nd goal aside I quite liked the look of Sviatchenko.
The biggest concern for me is our shambolic defending in front of the back 4, the total inability to defend corners and wtf has happened to Armstrong... truly awful. Also, Hayes showed GMS what a wide player is supposed to be about on a night like tonight.
