Fucking hell, they're out in force tonight.
55 is back on boys.
I reckon Aberdeen have played a blinder here, night before the AGM, send them all off happy in their delusional wee heads thinking the titles back on. They all turn up tomorrow chuffed to bits and soak up Dave Kings promises of war chests and then lord it over everyone that will listen for a few days. Then BANG, turn up at Pittodrie and get scudded back into last week. They need to wait a whole year again before they figure out no one is coming to save the people.
Well played Dons, well played!



Oh dear.

Silly question here, but will there still be tickets for the return on Sunday available for non-season ticket holders? Not working til 4, so would happily fit this in.

There are still tickets left but you will need to have purchased tickets previously to get one.

Once or twice every season,  McInnes has the kind of brain fart that makes you wonder about his mental stability.

He sees himself as a tactical messiah that can see things that no normal human can see, and instead of simply putting out our tried and tested, best and most able XI.....the team that beats almost everybody in the league.....he tinkers. He drops players in form, brings in others out of form and sets the team up in a completely alien formation, presumably in an attempt to baffle the opposition with his genius.

Without exception, every time he introduces this tactical genius, we end up with the humiliating, confused drivel that we had to endure last night.

McInnes must surely have heard the gasps of 'whit is that ?' from Dons fans when he decided to send a team out with 5 defensive midfielders, no width, and one lone, abandoned striker. He must surely....like everyone watching.....have realised within 60 seconds that nobody in the team aside from Joe Lewis had the slightest idea of what they were meant to be doing. Has he never watched the way Rangers play ? Did he honestly have not a clue, that Tavernier and John....good attacking full-backs that they are....are poor defenders and vulnerable to players running at them ?  Was he blind to the fact that both full-backs, having nothing else to do, could rampage forward into space at will ?

It took him a full 41 minutes to put things right, and by that time the game was a bogey.

I don't blame the players in the slightest last night. When we eventually got the formation and side right, we were the better team (until the offside goal), but the game was done and dusted long before that. The only slight compensation is that an average Rangers team didn't manage to score more than they did.

The blame lies 100%, fair and square, on the shoulders of McInness, with his insane need to adapt our tactics to those of the opposition. He f*cked up big time last night, and if the reaction of the guys in our supporters bus is anything to go by, the fans are furious.

He owes us an apology, and he needs to get it right on Sunday.

Aberdeen fans constantly whinging about McLean, Shinnie and Christie being in the Scotland team. Watched 2 of them against Celtic and 3 of them tonight against Rangers. None of them are anywhere near good enough 


Is this not what Kris Boyd said and got taken to the cleaners about?

Between this episode and the Ian Cathro disaster, it's almost beginning to look like he actually knows a bit about the football...

Utterly pumped.

In his press conference, McInnes said we planned to 'impose' ourselves on Rangers and 'take the game to them'. I saw none of that for the first 40+ minutes.

No width or pace to really push them.

Bit unlucky with some set pieces and scramnbles in the goalmouth not coming off for us, but sitting through that and hoping that a set piece will get us a goal is absolutely soul destroying.

I expect a reaction on Sunday, but it's going to take a long time to get over that debacle last night.

Lessons Learned appears to be a phrase unknown to our management team

That was abysmal.
It was like the bad old days,  if they're going to continue to play like that in games involving either of bigot brothers, we might as well just capitulate beforehand and cut out all the wasted time and money.

As an aside, who thought it would be a good idea to have wee boy Dallas officiating last night ?

He looked like a man/boy who had lost the plot right from the start....ignoring some bad tackles then waving yellow cards in player's faces for innocuous challenges, all the time with that manic, red faced, bug eyed, sweating look that was his auld man's trademark.

His inability to have any sort of empathy with the flow of the game meant that a red card was inevitable. It was almost like he had one pre-planned from the beginning.

He wasn't to blame for us losing....that was solely down to McInnes....but it's frustrating to have a game ruined by a referee who is so obviously promoted beyond his abilities simply because of who his dad is.
