  1. You do realise there are wars raging around the world and here you are getting bent out of shape for a few wind up posts on a football forum. These forums are for sensible debate and to analyse post and pre match, but they are also to sometimes to wind up the opposition fans. Genuinely dumbfounded that some fans don't seem to realise this or take offence when it happens. I mean a football forum - whatever next..... Plenty of fans do it. Sometimes I respond. Sometimes I don't bother. Either way I do find it sometimes amusing (maybe I should grow up) when there is suddenly a pile on from opposition fans when all I am doing is reacting to an inane or wind up post from one of their own fans in the 1st instance.
  2. I accept mine is not a popular opinion. Young players are often heralded as untouchable and whilst I am not in any way singling them out as the reason we lost. The simple fact is that that neither made any noticeable contribution to turning our fortunes around. That is the whole point of substitutions. If Vale and Lennon Miller could not complete the full 90 minutes then fine we obviously have few options, but no one is telling me the two kids were more likely to dig us out of a hole than those two who were on the pitch. Pretty much all I am saying. As to the game being largely meaningless. That is one leap of faith. A meaningless game to me is when we are confirmed bottom 6 and mathematically unable to finish in 11th or 12th. Even then with every league placing worth £60,000 or thereabouts and us scrambling about for investment…….
  3. Totally agree. He talked up the fact that it was a positive he introduced Ferrie and Wells. We all want to see youth given a chance, but there is a time and a place and being 1-0 down to a streetwise and experienced Aberdeen team is imho not the time. It certainly did not help that Spittal and Bair also had their worst displays of the last couple of months. You felt as if Bair could have played all day and not scored. Just one of those days but a reminder he is a rough diamond and needs a lot of polish before he can become ever reliable. The next few games are so important. That loss yesterday does have us looking behind. Aberdeen playing Ross C next is a help but ideally we need to take 4 points minimum from the next 3 games. Anything more and we wont finish bottom two. Anything less and the post split fixtures will be nail biting...
  4. Aberdeen FC - from Europa League to Scottish League cup group stages in one season…..
  5. What point apart from being an obnoxious **** Two handball decisions today. Both almost identical and both ruled against us. In a parallel universe our goal stands and we get the penalty and win the game. But that would reckon on the ref not being the bawbag that is Gollum. Obvs had Aberdeen on his coupon. If only Aberdeen played the way they do against Motherwell in every other game they would be in the top 4. They obviously have a hard on for claret and amber. Probably something to do with Craig Reid day. Now run along and hope you finish 8th this season. I said way back when you binned McInnes be careful for what you wish for. And all Dons fans said he has taken us as far as he can……hello…..
  6. His post match interview on You Tube absolutely mentioned his team were not up to recent standards to lose to a shit poor and embarrassing Aberdeen team. An Aberdeen team with the 3rd or 4th largest budget that have become a laughing stock around the world due to how they are being run and mismanaged. But you glory in beating a team 1-0 with a fraction of the budget with debatable VAR decisions. Shows how far the Famous (were a long time ago) Aberdeen have fallen . Quite funny truth be told…
  7. Well it would be bizarre but every week this is happening. No one would complain if the same decisions are given for the same scenarios each and every week. But they are not. We were not quite at it today. As mentioned Bair was having an off day as was Spittal. That said we deserved a draw. I understand the praise for bringing on youngsters as that is what we ideally would like to see. However there is a time and a a place. 3-0 up and into the last 10 minutes. Not 1-0 down against a stubborn Aberdeen. Not having a go at the guy but Ferrie misse a sitter and you wonder if Vale would have converted. Granted I accept that Vale might not have found himself in the position etc. I like Ketts I do. Stuck up for him plenty of times. But his subs are baffling at times. Miller and Vale are better players than the two youngsters that came on. Were they unable to see out the 90 minutes ? If not WTF was the Manager playing at ? Disappointing but all too predictable for MFC. We do this time and again and no-one is surprised anymore.
  8. Well that was as inevitable as night following day ! Bair back to being a donkey ! WTF was Kettlewell doing taking off Miller and Vale and putting two kids on! We don’t have many options but just Awful subs.
  9. Dont know why but I agree. It would make me quite happy if Raith beat them to promotion even if that means reliving the cup tie so bloody soon. What would make happier is an Aberdeen v United play off. That would be class. Hopefully we can do our bit tomorrow
  10. It has been well documented that when a team desperately need a win they just have to type ML1 2QN into their team bus Sat Nav. That 6-5 win being a case in point. Also with us beating the **** for the 1st time since dinosaurs roamed the earth then this has calamity writ large all over the game. I watched last night and Aberdeen simply cannot be as bad. I know their fans will disagree but they cannot possibly be. That was rancid 1st half especially. That said Dundee are a decent team. Would love a win to keep our top 6 hopes alive but as long as we don’t lose then it may be an acceptable outcome.
  11. Top 6 is still an outside possibility but we probably need to win the 4 remaining games. Especially given Hibs have Livi up next. Probably don’t deserve a shot at top 6 given our woeful winless run. Bottom 6 champions again this year would probably do. Let’s beat Aberdeen 1st and hopefully help consign them to 11th. Would love a United v Aberdeen play off.
  12. Colour me surprised that Ketts appears to be the one doing the talking…..
  13. Only HT in tonight’s games but would take these scores at FT. Watching Dundee v Aberdeen and I know I will regret this but Aberdeen have been mince. Hardly any threat at all. 1 shot off target in 45 minutes. Sadly they 100% won’t be as bad come the weekend. They may yet get 3 points but given the squad they have underperforming does not even come close to describing their current form and plight.
  14. Well played Morton. 2-2 in aggregate over 180 minutes v top flight teams. What was the attendance ? Probably made a few Bob from their cup run.
  15. Very similar to the Motherwell cup game. The big difference being that Craig Gordon is unlikely to throw one in the net like Liam Kelly did that night. Other than that Morton as hard working as they undoubtedly are lack any real composure on the ball.
