Aberdeen supporters are taking to losing to Celtic just like their rival supporters from Ibrox. They were even using their bitter songbook on Wednesday night…
Aberdeen have been a breath of fresh air this campaign. They’ve started the season in fine form while playing some good football as they currently sit second in the table.
Bitter Together
Although I’ll not extend the courtesy to their supporters who have quite frankly rather bad losers, a bit like the supporters of the side who currently sit in third place and are challenging the Dons for the runners up spot in the Scottish Premiership.
The Aberdeen songbook was every bit as bitter as their Ibrox and Tynecastle counterparts on Wednesday night ad it makes Celtic winning at their middens all the more enjoyable.
And after our narrow win at Pittodrie on Wednesday night, the Aberdeen fans have done nothing but whine about certain selected ‘incidents’ on the night.
Celtic burst Aberdeen’s bubble at Hampden
I wouldn’t say we fully deserved to win, but we certainly didn’t deserve to lose, and a draw would have been an acceptable result on the night as far as Celtic are concerned. Given their recent form dip since we happened them 6-0 at Hampden, Aberdeen really had to win on Wednesday night to keep their title fantasy alive.
😅 Aberdeen are searching for the equaliser!

How Celtic’s class won the game as Reo Hatate took the one clear cut chance that fell his way, and that would prove to be the difference on the night. Aberdeen had one big chance near the end and as Neil Lennon said on Sky Sports he really should have scored.
Stats don’t lie
If there was going to be a winner then that would have been Celtic and not Aberdeen. Look at the stats:
Possession – Aberdeen 26% Celtic 74%. Shots – Aberdeen 8 Celtic 15. On Target 4 each. Corners Aberdeen 2 Celtic 10.
So what exactly are the Aberdeen fans moaning about? No decision from the officials affected the outcome of the game in any way on the night as far as I can recall.
- Kyogo didn’t intend to harm the goalkeeper, it was a fair and honest challenge from both players and the ball was there to be won.
- Cameron Carter Vickers didn’t deserve a red card for his well time tackle on a Dons player in the second half.
Graeme Shinnie should have had a second yellow
These two ‘incidents’ received no punishment, because there was no offence to pursue. End of story. The Dons supporters are embarrassing themselves like their rival supporters from Ibrox by whining about such claims.
Incidentally the one decision that the on field referee got wrong on the night was his bizarre decision not to hand Graeme Shinnie a second caution in the final minute of the game.
Funny they don’t want to talk about that…
Another was that Duk chap hitting the ground repeatedly all night, getting young Valle booked for nothing at all and even diving to try to con a penalty out of Don Robertson – why no card for that?
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
CELTIC IN THE THIRTIES, VOLUMES ONE & TWO BY MATT CORR – OUT NOW! Order your signed copies below…
We did deserve to win.
Their fans vile songbook been audible for a few years now.
A Millwall of a football club.
Celtic fans have no right to comment on the songbook or behaviour of other teams fans given the IRA songbook and the constant f the huns. what abut the remembrance day disruption, no respect for other Celtic fans who wanted to observe it!! we all need to move away from this and start supporting the players on the pitch.
Well said. Couldn’t agree more. What have the IRA ever done for Celtic Football Club, why even bring the Pope into our songbook. We are a football club, not a political or religious organisation.
Can’t believe about so called fan, going on about F the Huns,they may chant if you hate the rangers cap your hands
The protest on remembrance day was because of Atrocities commited by British Army I Ireland and Bloody Sunday.So if your not happy go elsewhere
And the diving duck should have had two yellows
As I have said previously, in my humble opinion, Remembrance Day is and should be appropriate and a matter of choice. Cenotaphs are there for remembrance and those who want to can observe this in silence. Nobody is stopping them. It should not happen at public events where people have no choice and are uncomfortable with it being a public show. The whole poppy thing and remembrance has become weaponised and that is really quite disrespectful in itself. Hypocrisy is once again at the heart of this, where opinions and behaviours are being forced on others. Do it at the appropriate location and don’t subject others to it to make it a show.
“All that glitters is not gold”.
Didn’t deserve to win?
I’ve no idea what game you were watching, this Celtic team’s persistence in playing football despite the horrendous conditions and a referee who has a history of allowing competitors to plough through challenges at will is admirable…..
Celtic FC were more worthy winners….
