Nice of the referee to blow for half time before we could take corner. Not that we score with them very often. Still....

Settled into game after 30 mins. Few chances. Hibs defending deep in their box. We need to be hitting some early shots.

Pass back of a free kick

Said keeps giving ball away. Hibs are pressing us very well so far.

Struggling abit

Johnny comming on. Injuries starting to mount up.

Odonnell injured

Working now

Nope. Nothing so far.

Kettlewell effect in full force tonight against Thistle. 2 early goals on the break and then sit in with 34% possession at home. Hoofs up park to Whyte on his own and rinse and repeat.

Celtic could recall, but Welsh does not need to sign for Aberdeen. Sure Celtic could play funny buggers, but they still need to pay him his full wages. If they forced the move would Aberdeen get a motivated and happy player? If he goes then so be it. We have shown we can cope without him in the past.

Shows we are light in a few areas with the injuries we have. Our bench was really strong a few weeks back and now our academy boys are making up the numbers. Tho that might be a good thing for their development.

Aberdeen can sniff all they like. Surely Welsh justs says nope not going there. Aberdeen trying to be relevant. Basket case of a club. They spend plenty with no real planning or style.

Campbell signs with St Mirren now, as noone else wanted him?? Six months out the game and chooses them.

Going bankrupt after transferring assets should be outlawed. He will pay a pittance of his future income for a few years and that will be that. Meanwhile taxes increase to pay for basic services as tax revenue has decreased and costs keep going up.

Plus a 1 year option by club. So start the bidding at £5m Good Scottish/British players come at premium price.

Seems some Hibs fans think we are over rated, must be boring to watch and always play safe given all the nil nils we have had. After all we were lucky when we beat them 2 nil, with an apparent deflected goal and the sending off. Following comment is mental. "Well the stats I’ve just looked at say that the results are wildly better than their performances and the results are unsustainable on the performances. Just like Aberdeen last season fwiw" For all the teams in the league we probably deserve more points given our performances. Totally opposite. We have been very consistent. I do however agree with their view that away from home we have found it difficult to win. Something that all teams struggle to do. I usually dont mind Hibs fans but i really hope we go there and stuff them good and proper. They go on about our managers comments about Hanley but what about Grays comments saying we played as expected and were not that great. Get into them Motherwell.

I get what you say and agree crisis would suggest a serious and dangerous situation and perhaps too strong a word for a sporting event. Perhaps complete disarray would be more appropriate. Celtic is not a united club. There appears to be many issues on and off the park. They are now onto their fourth manager of the season. Given the money that has went into Celtic over recent years, there decline in standards are due to gross mismanagement. Their board have shown no ambitions over than just beating Rangers. Would an ambitious manager be happy with just that?

Its all ifs and buts. Celtic cant gamble again. They will need an experienced manager with proven pedigree. Jens would not get the time to implement his style. Pressure and stresses that go with having to win every game might not be as enjoyable as watching our club grow with his leadership. Would he even have the same control? Also he has seen what type of characters are in that celtic dressing room. Big egos and lack of professionalism, much like alot of big clubs just now. Seems player power is becoming harder to control. Does a club of that stature take the risk that Jens could control them at this time. Although he is working miracles with us, he still is inexperienced and its still early days for him. Sure Celtic offers more money but unless he wins league and cups straight away, he would be deemed another failure. He might back himself, but does he need the hassle that goes with being manager of a club in total crisis?

We need not to dangle legs in and around our box. Bowie and co are diving masters. Its about time we got a referee decision in our favour. Or VAR does its job.

What will be will be. Lets just enjoy what we have currently, back our team and ignore outside noise. On another point. Dont think i have ever seen a season of so many big clubs in many leagues with spending power being so bad. Perhaps instant demand for results and ever changing management does not work. The stresses to win at all costs surely does not equate to a happy work place. Sure money is to be made but at what cost, health and happiness?

Time will tell with AP. Think we have played really well without either Hendry and AP. Not to say they cant contribute going forward.

Interesting that AP again does not get on. Looks as if he is being pushed out.

Another game where a case can be made for anyone. Just for me tho. His workrate and skill makes all the difference.

Think this referee needs to be trained up on the advantage rule. He was clueless and hindered us.
