Great Balls of Shire

I don't disagree but both decent footballers if we can get balance right... remember cooper and Russell, they weren't fast or good tacklers

Slattery picks up bookings regularly for tripping or pulling back opponents, so we aren't that nice ...partly down to him not being athletic enough. I think he's a decent footballer , as is Goss, but they definitely lack athleticism Don't need to foul them , just put in some meaningful challenges for starters

But why didn't we pick up those extra points? It wasn't all bad luck We have defended really poorly at times and given away goals at points in games when we shouldn't , e g last minutes of games As shown last night livi and Ross Co are going to pick up points, not world beaters but looks like they know how to hold onto a lead A couple of shrewd additions in Jan and I will be more confident.

I'd like that to be true but I haven't seen it yet, but just to give the midfield an extra number , let's give him a run

Another way of putting it then, we are shit and so are officials Their incompetence is a separate issue to our defending they contributed to our loss yesterday but so did our defence, midfield I've just watched build up to penalty , why is nobody closing man down , tackling him. The 1st and 3rd goals are lamentable,hammy really needs to show these back and say to players , what were you doing and how did that happen? We need an Alan Campbell type in the middle

Apart from soft red for hearts, not sending Gordon off, Goss onside , corner incorrectly given. He had a reasonable game That's a different issue to us being so weak and unprofessional We get the officials our game deserves

Sorry, I think at the minute we will be in or around bottom 2 , too weak , to lose 3 goals v 10 men is championship form

Fair enough, but we would still have lost v 9 , let's get real , it looked a very soft red for 2 Nd week running

Only saw part of game but sod nearly set up a goal ......for them

We can't play against 10 cos we are guff

Yep, I think we are clutching at straws if we say that's a sending off, they're was a similar one in second half with Slattery, foot, studs up but he won ball , it was the only way he( slats) could play ball so what can you do? Anyway points in bag

I watched it a few times,didn't see much, but Could be wrong , anyway we take it cos we were denied a pen last week... Aberdeen shown up today as bang average, which they looked last week

Constructive stuff,

We didn't get the break with var last week but did this week, just shows they're still managing to get it wrong with var

Yes, the fact we are all second guessing the reason is crazy, we have all paid to watch game, it's totally unsatisfactory to treat paying public like this but we accept it because it's always been this way

Possibly but 4/1?

I am sure hammy said that when he asked why incident wasn't being looked at , he was told game was finished. Ref has missed it , so is not the job of var to bring it to his attention?

Why would they need to be accountable to us, the paying public....they've been treating us with contempt for years... totally get why people get scunnered and stay away. Rr the lamie incident, it's the poorest of excuses that the whistle has gone, the club and fans should press for accountability.

Based on both teams season so far ,Is that honestly the ONLY thing you can see? you need to change your drugs

I agree re Tierney, not saying he hasn't got something but I don't know if he's strong enough . The stats I posted , we had more shots and more on target , so I think we probably played the better football, but they scored the goals , there's no denying that The two chances vv misses are not difficult, so the chances were there.

Just watched highlights there, we need an alternative to big sol, I would say he was culpable for both Ive already mentioned the var incident at end, someone should be getting pelters for that

I am as disappointed as anyone , but some of these comments are ott...I thought that was one of the most average Aberdeen teams I have seen and reckon we should finish in or around the same position Most important stat is goals but to say hammy was outfoxed by Goodwin is just not accurate ...their timewasting at the end was tedious but that's not really being tactically astute Plus thought he was banned from dugout??

I said before var was introduced, it would only be effective if the people operating it were competent, its still the same Willie columns etc who are in charge interpreting it. ..it will improve things, but it won't be used to full potential in Scotland

Var working well at least

Also I've been critical of sod in the past, but is he any worse or better than mcginn? Maybe cos he's no played for a while he's got better in my mind
