Lots of fans won’t be patient. ‘Patience’ requires resilience from the board if they really believe in what he’s doing.

As the owner of a dog and employee of a nearly 3 year old child, I’ve found it amusing catching up on this thread but also interesting. Personal view is that I’ve always felt enforcing ‘inclusivity’ to every public situation to be a bit over the top. Clearly there’s a balance but different people like to experience things in different ways and if somewhere has the space and inclination to accommodate that then why not? A bit like an ‘ultras’ section at football, a designated area for likely younger guys to go, sing, wave flags and within reason act a bit more cuntish than the rest of the ground. I don’t have a problem with that and I can watch the game elsewhere in a way that suits me. We have this already with ‘quiet coaches’ on trains, why not have family ones? Or dare I say it adult only ones? Doesn’t bother me in the slightest as long as you’re not telling me I can’t get on the train with my daughter at all. Even within my own life I have things I’d rather do without my daughter, with the dog, with or without both etc. really not a big deal. Albeit my local has a family section which doesn’t allow dogs and a bar area that allows dogs but not kids. So I can never actually go with both. That’s a little annoying.

Always thought with a pre season and a few windows he’d have been world class imho.

Wrong thread

Yayyy

Genuinely funny from us if elfsborg announce their new manager before we manage to secure thelin. Absolutely committed to the bit.

This United fan is a Dundee fan that’s at it, yes? No one is this shit at posting.

Quite funny how many predicted us for 3rd. Myself included but I did caveat it… My overall prediction was absolutely shite too. I think other than the obvious it’s just an incredibly difficult league to predict before a ball is kicked.

Wouldn’t argue with any of that. I’d also be taking the approach from Europe for this game and would also go Barron over clarkson to start. Key to any ‘success’ we had in Europe with this was the confidence, bravery and ambition we showed when we did have the ball. You look at the 2nd goal against PAOK and it all starts with Barron winning the ball in our half and carrying the ball and being direct. It’s so, so important to be able to cause them problems. So, aye, back 5. Keep it compact. Deny them space, frustrate. But if we shite it every time we have the ball then we have no chance. None.

This season just refuses to f**k off

Objectively very funny but still…slightly worrying

A group of masked fans stormed the main stand at pittodrie last night in protest at letting this title slip away to such a rum club. It is said Peter leven was apologising to fans in his office for such an embarrassment. Barry robson has left the country in disgrace until the anger dissipates.

Do people still listen to off the ball? If they’re desperate to have some output that is clickbait trolling stuff then replace off the ball with a shite phone in show like talksport or 606 on 5 live. Let them get their wee social media clicks, then let the adults listen to the stuff about football on a Saturday afternoon.

That depends on what date it is. I could end up being at soft play with my daughter or if I’m lucky I could be on a weekend away with the mrs.

Pretty, pretty funny.

Happily missed this today with the wee one. Well done to Dundee, some return to the big league and decent side to watch.

We still talking about Neil warnock?

100%. Distinctly remember at the PAOK home game thinking ‘he’s played really well here, what’s he got up his sleeve…’

Depressing that it’s difficult to picture us winning a home game with Dundee but that’s where we are. Suspect if we manage it then the only thing standing between us and the summer holidays is a morale sapping and meek defeat to Celtic at hampden. Hooray.

Yeah agree, suspect his mistakes being so high profile over shadowed a lot of the good he did. In fairness, I never thought he was bad. Just that his mistakes were so costly that we couldn’t necessarily afford to persist. Definitely changed my view on it now. If we could bring in one or two quality centre halves beside him we’ll be considerably better.

^^^ realises this is in fact pretty much done and had to squeeze in one last crack about how long it’s taking.

The old firm coverage is ridiculous but I think there has to be a reasonable acceptance that most of their readership will be old firm fans and the reference is just a way to draw them into reading the story. I was watching some EFL highlights at the weekend and a goal was scored by Joe Nuttall. Likely mean nothing to you but the name rang a bell so I googled and turns out I was right, he made two appearances for Aberdeen back early on in the mcinnes era. The only reason I googled him was a very passing association with Aberdeen. That mindset is all they’re leaning into with it and I don’t think it’s that unreasonable a tactic.

I hope he keeps it up. Unfortunately there will be folk who will hate that about him.

Worth saying to anyone who’s been on this thread saying contacting their club is pointless - it’s clear the clubs aren’t happy with VAR and at the very least want change to its implementation. Get your club told what you really think of it. Increase the pressure.

No no, after being raging that we weren’t pursuing Neil Lennon 2 weeks ago, he was saying last weekend that it would be ‘the final nail in the coffin’ if we failed to land Jimmy thelin. Im sure he knows what he meant by that in his head, but either way he’ll be mightily relieved I’m sure.
