LoganRoy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I think the giveaway is CCVs reaction. Even if he thought it harsh, he'd be up in Robertsons face trying to talk him out of it. He looked distraught as he knew he had fouled him. A great effort by the Dons who can only have themselves to blame, but they were very dangerous today. That's 2 games running they've had Celtic on the ropes. Tomorrow is a massive one - given Rangers run and drop, I think it'll be an even game, likely a 1.0 or a 2.1.

slasher Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Did the sheep really only bring 9000 after asking for a 50/50 split? Was there some sort of unofficial boycott or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apathy has set in amongst the support with how we’ve been treated from the club, and the usual excuses of 12:30 in Glasgow always works, which has some merit, first train from Glasgow arrives at 12:15, so no chance of making ko, but if folk want to go, they’ll get there. I drove me and my loon, didn’t buy tickets until Tuesday as I’m sick of them lying down to Celtic at Hampden, but that never happened today.

I’ve hugged the wee fucker a lot, but those moments, if you don’t know fitba, can never be understood, his first reaction today was to jump to me, nowhere else, it’s fucking wonderful, but heartbreaking at the same time. 10 years since his first semi (final)🙈 and he’s seen us win a couple and lose a few, everytime we step through the gates, he’s told this is our time, but it’s yet to have the ending we both want. It’ll come though. In a way, we need a standard ahite performance thrown in too now, just so the new gaffer can see who is arsed on a day to day basis and who isn’t. We’re gonna be down Miovski for millions and Barron for buttons will be two massive losses for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he is a player with really good potential. If he leaves I hope he goes abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) 9 hours ago, Diamond Scot said: Aberdeen shouldnt get drawn into debating whether it was a foul on Johnston or not. (It wasnt) What they need to concentrate on and demand answers on is why if the ref thought it was a foul, he didnt blow at the time. The game continues for a decent amount of time, the ref watches the play continue and only then the penatly foul is commited by CCV does the ref blow for a foul. There is no provision for this in the ref rulebook. He cant possibly be playing advantage as Celtic are defending their own box. Regardless of whether they win or not. Answers should be sought. I’ve seen a different angle on the challenge on AJ and it looks like a foul to me although I can see both sides of it. I’m not so clear on the delay but he clearly points at where the foul occurred and then signals a free kick for the defending team. AJ would normally spring to his feet to defend the box but stayed down throughout the whole incident. Maybe you can tell me this DS, is it standard procedure for the var to ask the ref what Aberdeen players were complaining about at Celtic’s 2nd goal ? This was clearly indicated by TNT commentators at the time and it seems strange to me given that every goal is checked anyway.

He was out of favour and may have had his head turned, but he’s been Scotland u21 captain, he’ll be a massive loss on a busman where we’ll get a development fee, could’ve been the next big money Lewis Ferguson sale.

First away game, Ibrox 1-2 v St Johnstone, first Scotland game, 6-1 v Gibraltar, if my memory serves me correct, they had never scored a goal, I had £20 each on 5,6,7-0. We go 1 up, 2 minutes later they scored. He’s seen semi wins against Morton & Hibs twice, every other semi or final since 2014, we’ve lost. You’re actually right, it’s his fault and costs me a fucking fortune to boot 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanderark14 Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Aberdeen gave a great account of themselves yesterday, where had that type of fight been in other games this season? On the other hand I am once again sickened with scottish football and its referees. Its bad enough that teams have to play the old firm in a non neutral venue but to play against such terrible referees Just focusing on Aberdeen, some of the incidents we've seen this season with the help of VAR have been jaw dropping. The final against rangers. A foul on an Aberdeen player in the box in the dying minutes - no foul despite the same VAR ref awarding rangers an identical foul against Aberdeen at Pittodrie. The recent match at livi, the sfa openly admitted yhe refs took a guess that a player was offside and now the semi final where aberdeen were denied a stone wall penalty. Yesterday's incident felt like Robertson and his team were desperately searching for a reason not to award the penalty, they found a pathetic reason for a non foul on Johnston. Nothing will be done, if that was against either side of the OF there would be outrage across the board but it's only one of the OF cannon fodder so fuck em. I hope hearts win this cup. If they do they will no doubt babble on about 3rd force and their attendances, they're welcome to that, being the 3rd force in Scottish football is nothing to be proud of BUT a clean sweep of old firm winners is never and never should be looked at as a good thing. It was awesome When rangers died and started again in the lower leagues, not because we all got to laugh at rangers but because other teams tasted glory and had days they will never forget. I can't remember the exact figure but I'm sure it's 9 different teams won a trophy. Aberdeen, Celtic, Killie, St mirren, Ross County, ICT, St Johnstone and hibs. Happy to be corrected on that list but we are now back to the OF clean sweep Zzzzzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you were really unlucky with several refereeing decisions; Celtic's first (there was an incident before where one of the Aberdeen players, possibly McGrath, was raging), possible push on MacDonald, the Miovski pen. and obviously the CCV incident.

Dont think they showed it on the TV. If its a foul then I suppose the ref could have been waiting to see if Aberdeen scored and then VAR could have intervened to say it was a foul but that would seem abit backward and not what it looked like happened at the time. The ref did point straight to the foul amd indicate the free kick straight after the penalty challenge. It was the fact he didnt do it straight after the "foul" that seems out of the norm. I heard that on the TV aswell. No idea if it it normal or not but I suppose if the VAR is meant to consider everything in the final phase b4 a goal its only natural to ask the ref for all the info which would include what the Aberdeen players were complaining about.
