SeeBass Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 This will be our 17th loss in league right? To lose 44% of your league games and still finish third sure shows how awful the Scottish football brand is. Best of a bad bunch really eh?

OrlandoDon Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Poor from what I saw, gave up after the second. Sit off them and let them play it’s far too easy. Wonder if we watched st mirren and hibs play them, all too familiar story for us sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxfordDon Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 As long as nobody gets injured does anyone genuinely give two flocks about this one? Was also surprised we didn't run out a few less familiar names though given its a free hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a free hit so why not give it your best effort to win the game with your strongest line up? We’ve been timid. Throw out a bunch of young lads for a pasting doesn’t help them.

Slim Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Shayden Morris’ closing down of the cross for their 4th goal is the footballing equivalent of sunbathing in your back garden while working from home. Cunt’s supposed to be lightning quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunt’s supposed to be lightning quick. Didn't see the game today due to a broken car. This sounds very like Shayden though. His pace is good, not exceptional, but wasted entirely by his lack of positional sense and general misunderstanding of football. Him and Richardson are both championship manager style signings, in that they have fantastic attributes that would be recorded in the stats. Morris especially, I'm failing to see what a scout saw in person. Perhaps in person doesn't happen as much these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way we constantly coughed up possession either from poor passes or being brushed off the ball was unforgivable. Rarely, if ever, did we actually put together a good passage of play, I'm struggling to think of one. The goals were soft, and we offered nothing at the other end except the two times Joe Hart nae two errors. We cannot cross the ball, no-one can beat their man. It's all so basic and shows just how badly they've been coached all season. Tactically the three at the back gave Celtic too much space in the first half although we did at least change the shape, even if by the time we did the horse had bolted, spent the day at the pub, and strolled back with a couple of fillies and stuck a do not disturb sign on the stable door. But I don't think there's a huge amount of criticism you can really give Robson for the 90 minutes. The mistakes from individuals weren't on him, and he had named pretty much the line-up you expected him to. But we didn't look fit (that's not on him), we looked slow (not on him). He picked Hayes because he thought he would offer more defensively and was rewarded by a really poor performance in return. Ramadani, lots of enthusiasm, but he's not Aberdeen standard I don't think. Shinnie was trying to run that midfield himself. Duk far too slow and ponderous. Clarkson really poor although at least he was always looking for the ball. To be fair to Robson, he corrected most of these mistakes as the game went on although he took too long to do them. At least he got there eventually, which is more than could be said for Goodwin. I don't see a new manager coming in before Livingston so it's a huge seven days for Robson. He has to identify the weaknesses, he has to make changes for Livingston, and by fuck do we need to win that. Just back from the game. Here's what I wrote the last time we played at Celtic Park, will save me a writing a few paragraphs. Why the hell did we set up with the same system that got torn apart last time we were at Celtic Park? At least in the grand scheme of things it didn't mean much. But Barry Robson just last week said the 5-0 defeat to Hearts wouldn't ever happen on his watch. Now fair enough he maybe just meant Hearts wouldn't hammer us again, but that's a 9-0 aggregate loss to Celtic on his watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Left at 3-0 and from what I saw by then 5-0 flattered us. Some of our players are not as good as we think. We will need to sign a good deal more quality if we are to avoid being humiliated in Europe. Morris getting in ahead of Bavidge again is puzzling. I really need to remember never to bother attending these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Some meaningless information, but hopefully something that will get you through the next two months without any football. Shinnie and McCrorie both refused to applaud during the guard of honour. Ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All five goals, the goalscorer is unmarked. Two from free headers, two from no-one reacting to get to a rebound, and the other (the first goal) because McKenzie is caught out of position, then lunges into a challenge when there was already a player covering, meaning he gets turned inside out. Hayes and McKenzie were constantly cut apart with through balls, neither of them knowing who was meant to be marking the man. Hayes should know better. McKenzie, he played like a player who has spent most of the season either injured or on the bench, and is then thrown into a game away to Celtic because the first choice LCB is ineligible. He needs more game time before being given that type of test. Going forward, the crossing was abysmal, only one decent ball I can think of which was from a Hayes corner which Bain punched away. To answer your question, yeh I can't remember any shots at goal. But that's actually three games now (all in a row) where we haven't had a single shot on target against Celtic.

That’s horrendous and unacceptable. I hope we never see a result like that again under his watch. Yes, back end of the season was better than the start and middle, but that aggregate score against them is never acceptable. Regardless of circumstances.
