Before VAR, the referee might have blown when the foul took place but they obviously let the game run on now and Kwon scoring then let's him essentially decide to let VAR make the decision for him.
The same happened in our game against Rangers when Considine clearly fouled Sterling (I think) but the referee just bottles making a decision and let VAR call him to the monitor so he could look at it several times.
There are instances of re-refereeing but as big a problem is officials being happy to not make decisions because they know they'll get a second look at it via VAR.
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 the penalty? I don’t think I’ve posted about it at all actually.
About St Mirren fans complaining about decisions.

Don’t get them started on refereeing decisions. They’ve had a sleep to calm down and then you go and post this.
I honestly think you've posted more about this than any individual St Mirren fan.

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.

Most Aberdeen fans expectations at the moment is to find a manager who is a competent tactician, knows the squad and understands how to get the best from them.
Unfortunately with Cormack he keeps choosing the antithesis of this with Glass, Goodwin, Robson and now Warnock.
So if he keeps picking the wrong managers with shit results then we'll keep calling him out until he either gets it right, gets someone else to pick the manager, or finally decides that running a football club isn't for him.
In my humble opinion, I'm at the stage now where I think Stephen Robinson would be the most sensible appointment.
Now is not the time for taking unnecessary risks (although a new manager always brings an element of risk), the club needs stability....and needs the new manager in position preferably in the next couple of weeks so we can send Warnock back to Devon or wherever he left the SAGA tour...
Having said all that, if Cormack continues his hands on involvement of the club then we're going down to the Championship eventually. The man seems to me to be a self-absorbed clown.
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.

Certainly the way the wind's blowing. Being reported today that Jenny Gilruth the Scottish education minister is about to scrap to all school exams before Highers, plus end them completely in some subjects.
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.

There’s additional layers. You see we’re in the unlikely position in February where Morton and Aberdeen could compete in both the playoff final and the Scottish cup final.
Stick a fiver on that.

Big question is, who is beating The DABs in the playoffs!?
An Aberdeen v Dundee Utd playoff would be some laugh.

I think the parallels between Warnock 2024 and Butcher 2014 are becoming more and more apparent.
The incumbent try hard manager means well, but it’s clear he’s never going to take the ‘sleeping giant’ above mid table. Simply not good enough for clubs with a fan base like them.
To the surprise of no one, said snoozy giant bags the try hard whilst sitting comfortably mid table during the season. For clubs like us, it surely can’t get any worse than this?
Give it to the old fella till the end of the season, he’ll sort them out.
Shortly after the English veteran is appointed it becomes clear that it could in fact, get much worse.
Whereas Pat Robson was getting draws at home to teams like St Johnstone, Neil Butcher turns those unacceptable results into defeats at home to teams like St Johnstone.
The mid table comfort quickly melts away in the spring sunshine.
Warnock’s a dottery old man who should have been put to pasture years ago. More dangerously for Aberdeen fans, he doesn’t look the least bit arsed. He won’t be here next season regardless, and he certainly won’t care about CV damage at his age. Could Data Dave sack an interim manager? Will Warnock walk? What then? An interim for the interim?
What a mess the Dons are in.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.

Dindee and Ibrix should be bad enough to be sacked.
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.

Aberdeen sub caption
On> Enrique de Barros Lopes.
Someone has done their homework.
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.

It happens but they have 2 draws from their last 5 matches and it's at home for us.
The Fakes just beat them away and the Fakes are mince.
They must be low on confidence and ability. Keep their scorer quiet and stretch their weak defence. C O Y S
I know, and everything says we should beat them. But then I think back two weeks to Livingston.

Scored falling for us again tonight.
Please please don't f up on Sat against the Dons.
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.

Was that during the game, half time or post match?
I personally didnt think the shirt pull was a pen at all. Looking back at the replays it's a definite hand then head. They said during the game that the incident that VAR monitored was the pull in the box and they must not have looked beyond that, though the fact his arm was up next to his head, surely that moment should have been caught when they were trimming down the replay?
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.

Hearts V Celtic

Incidently, here's what Rodgers said after Olusanya was sent off against Celtic.
