We’ve been saying that for weeks but you just know he will continue to get game time right up until the end.
He didn't start last week, suspect manager's hand was forced by injuries.
But I completely agree, made a similar post in the match thread.

Once again, was poor in large spells when he actually got the ball - made several poor decisions/runs. But, once again, was crucial in the first goal and the buildup to the second before finishing it.
As frustrating as he is, the lack of service he got today was a much bigger source of frustration.

That counter attack and corner. Honestly what the fuck

Stop picking Silva, for the 3rd league game in a row he's hooked early.

Tav (going forward), Cantwell, Diomande, Lundstram all been decent. We’re not getting enough from Silva or Dessers.
They all look *fine* but we don't create anything.

It’s not happening even with a miracle 👍
The players play like they're hoping for a miracle to happen, rather than trying to force it to happen.

Good to give up our customary chance in the first minute

Hope Ten Hag stays, enjoy their weekly clown show.

Salah has done fuck all for weeks. I said it already but his head is in Saudi counting out all the blood money he will earn next year.
In saying that, from the perspective of watching it live today, Liverpool would have won out of sight if they didn’t waste so many chances.
Basically sums them up since that cup game against United.
I would have sold him at the start of the season and tried to rejuvenate the squad. Obviously would have hampered their CL chances but the money was mental.
Be interesting to see what they get for him now, no doubt it'll still be huge I suppose.

Speaking of McCausland in the air, we aimed far too many balls to his head on Sunday
Was probably the game plan with Sima starting there and they took too long to adjust when he went off.

The Dortmund one was a disgrace and so was the Dessers one, it happens all over Europe multiple times again and it's never classed as a foul. Celtic got a penalty against Hearts doing the same thing but worse.
Agreed. I think there was one high profile example, maybe at the World Cup? Or in the champions league. And there was talk at the time about how that's the rules now etc etc but I rarely ever see it enforced.

Letting the play run on is only supposed to apply to offside unless it's to play an advantage.
Aye, but I think refs been advised to let play unfold in certain situations too. Like if there's a huge scramble in the box, for example. I might be misremembering, but think I've heard it discussed before on a couple of occasions.

What's everyone's take on this piece of refereeing by Don O'Robertson?
Why? Well, one explanation I've seen is that ref's take a similar approach to linesman in that they let play go on for a few seconds in case there is a goal, then make a ruling and check it with VAR. Is that the correct protocol? If it is, say Aberdeen score from the shot he allowed to take place, his plan all along was to then blow for a foul on Johnson? Let's face it VAR was never ever overturning it anyway; so the situation was only ever bound for scandal had Aberdeen ended the sequence with a goal - or in this case, a penalty.
The level at which celtic are protected at this point is unreal, celtic's first goal came from Kyogo robbing the CB of possession with 2-hands on the guys back and pushing him to the ground. I prefer to see ref's allow some contact so I don't care too much it was deemed a foul, but it was more of a foul than Hoilliet jumping with Johnson to contest a header in the clip above.
* in the interests of perspective, I might be one of the few who didn't think Carter-Vickers kicking Hoilett was a foul, in todays game it probably is given, but Hoilett doesn't play the ball or even get himself in a position to play it, he's literally on the floor doing the splits in order to stretch a leg into the path of Carter-Vickers kicking leg, that's dangerous play in my book. That is a player willfully trying to cause contact with another player or initiate a foul (without playing the ball) and could easily have ended up with either of them being injured. We're seeing more of these types of situations from guys desperate to win penalties and it will probably be stamped out soon.It's never a foul on Johnston, but aye, for a ref it's better to let play run in situations like that because if he blows too quickly the players all stop, and it therefore denies Aberdeen the potential chance of a goal. If they had scored a goal in that scenario, where the ref blows and celtic players all stop, the decision wouldn't be changed by VAR. The better course is to let it play out.
Of course, he's wrongly awarded a freekick here and the VAR probably thinks there's not enough evidence for it to be a "clear and obvious" error. Whereas if he'd simply awarded a pen, I don't think it would get overturned.
With the actual foul, I've no clue what the rule actually is there nowadays. I've seen us get punished for it vs Dortmund and was pretty much the only person in the group watching the first OF who expected Dessers goal against the scum to get ruled out because of it. But during the Newcastle West Ham game a few weeks ago Anthony Gordon bought two pens doing that exact same thing as a defender was about to clear and neither were overturned. Probably another example of a rule that's become too subjective in the VAR age.

Wonder if we might try to loan Cortes again next year, but with a purchase clause if he manages to play a certain amount of games. I liked what I saw of him, but would be reluctant to pay based on that small amount of games he played. Another loan, but with a more concrete option to buy might suit Lens but still protects us if he ends up injured again.

Also looking for 1.

It wasn’t a dive FS! It was right in front of me at Hampden. He tried to take a touch, couldn’t sort his feet out and fell over the ball.
His playacting was bad against the scum but I don't know how anyone could watch it and think it was a dive.

Solid performance from the big man today. Deserves to keep his place.

Solid enough performance. Another 6 tests to come.

Can see the flaws in the centre of the park and look disjointed going forward. Still, something to build on. Some decent spells and could have added to another with better decision making/quality.

Neither side will have experience of playing a game with that level of importance. Would be an error strewn mess of a game.
Hope to fuck we can claw some points back this weekend, it sets it up very nicely in what has been a weird season.
