I think that's a fair point, although we had a similar one chalked off against Hearts. The ref (Nick Walsh maybe?) let the play continue and as soon as Mandron had the ball in the bet he blew for a foul, which was then checked by VAR, who stuck with the decision.

One thing that I will agree with Rodgers on from his tantrum yesterday is about moments in the game being refereed off the pitch. I think Yang's red card is the right decision ultimately. Robertson maybe was slightly unsighted but the linesman is looking right at it. What has Roberston seen in the replay that wasn't seen in real time by himself and or the linesman? Likewise with the handball, Robertson is in a brilliant position to see it. In the St Mirren v St Johnstone game last week, Kwon's goal gets chalked off after VAR intervened. We can argue whether or not it was a foul, but there was nothing in the replay that showed anything we didn't see in real time. Everyone in the ground saw that Kwon nudged the defender. I think there's too many cases where you've just got one referee who disagrees with the onfield decision, rather than highlighting things the officials have missed.

About St Mirren fans complaining about decisions.

I honestly think you've posted more about this than any individual St Mirren fan.

Lovely stuff

Cool

Controlled the game from the 2nd minute, without creating much. The two late goals will be a real sore one but we absolutely deserved to win that game.

Give Olusanya another year's contract

Some hit for the goal. Thought Tanser (Fraser?) was too easy for Duk to get past in the build up but not much you can do about the strike. We've probably been the better side since but we're pretty poor up top, same as Tuesday really. I'd get Olusanya on fairly soon to cause a bit of havoc.

He can share a taxi with Warnock then

BBC reporting he's at a conference at Loch Lomond. Last papragraph says he's going to the game.

Apparently Gianni Infantino will be at the game this weekend.

If Robinson started his tenure at Aberdeen half as bad as he started at St Mirren, the fans would demand he be sacked. And he would be.

Olusanya signed a 1 year extension. Pretty happy with that as he's an important part of the squad. Robinson has a real knack of getting a tune out of players who lots of us may have written off.

I've always felt an 'all or nothing' exam at the end of a year's worth of work can be a bit unfair. Especially seeing as the SQA have essentially got rid of appeals. One bad day for a kid who's done well all year and they're screwed. Putting into place a different system, of multiple assessments, while making sure it's fair for kids across the board, keeping the marking standards high and consistent, and not adding to teachers' workload won't be an easy thing to get right. And I don't trust the government to not make things worse. For the past 10 years, there have been changes almost year on year. The teachers and the students don't know if they're coming or going.

Not looking forward to this. Aberdeen have been poor all year but have been hilariously bad since Warnock came in. I want to laugh at their predicament but I just know that they'll end up getting a result against us. It happens all the time. Livingston two weeks ago, St Johnstone earlier in the year, Kilmarnock last season, Motherwell. You name it.

Stick a fiver on that.

An Aberdeen v Dundee Utd playoff would be some laugh.

There's some truth to what you say here, but for f**k sake don't post it days before we play them. We all know what St Mirren are like when a team needs a result.

Having to repeat 'big', 'huge' or whatever really gets on my wick. 'Big big goal at Dens', 'Huge huge drama at Rugby Park'. f**k off mate.

I guess they use the names from the team sheets, and that his real name has to be written on the team sheet. Surely they could just use 'Duk' on the team sheet now though, if you had asked me who Enrique De Barros Lopes was, I wouldn't have had the first idea.

I know, and everything says we should beat them. But then I think back two weeks to Livingston.

I really hate playing a team that's in desperate need of a result. Aberdeen are hopeless, but I've seen this story play out many times before.

Pretty sure it was after full time, but I got it on the podcast so I'm not sure if they splice bits from half time into that. I agree with you though, and it seemed pretty unanimous on Sky and on here that the handball was the infringement.

Listened to a bit of Sportsound from last night. Interesting that Steven Thompson and Richard Gordon didn't think it should've been a handball but that the shirt pull should've been a penalty.
