Celtic are a pure riddy for chucking away a two goal lead against that dug muck.

Highly bizarre that I just took a screenshot o exactly that!
Or perhaps not highly bizarre....

I expect this is the bit most Dons fans would contest. There was a vocal minority who may never have been happy, but what support doesn't have a frankly dim vocal minority? As @Dons_1988 says, Sportsound repeats the 'What do they expect? They hounded out McInnes etc' nonsense ad nauseam. Same hacks who suggest Neil Lennon for every job going.
McInnes did do well for several seasons, but we were on a downward slope for at least 18 months before he left. And he was also unwilling to work in the structure Cormack and the board wanted to bring in, so it was only going to end one way.
I agree this would be reasonable for Thelin's first season - with evidence of the pitch of some adaptability and well-drilled patterns of play. Some sort of f*cking plan, basically, which we've been missing for a while. If I can see what he's trying to achieve, and I flatter myself that I'm not in that dim minority, then I'd take a top 6 finish and decent cup runs. I expect most would.
Really good, considered reply.

The part quoted.
Which part of the part quoted? That he was doing reasonably well (subjective, so difficult to claim that it isn't true), or the perception of the support?

The Robinson to St Mirren appointment was largely met with positivity. He had a poor start and there was (bizarrely if not surprisingly) restlessness within a matter of weeks. The key difference there is that he was starting from the club being in a reasonably good position (relative to previous seasons).
There is an argument that your new manager will be cut a fair amount of slack as things are unlikely to get much worse. That, however, hinges on managed expectations. I'm already seeing posts about a cup win and top four finish within his first season. Perhaps not entirely unreasonable given the size of the club, budget available, etc, but I recall McInnes doing pretty well but it was never quite good enough for a substantial proportion of the Aberdeen support.
I would have thought that a solid top 6 finish and a tilt at Europe in his first season wouldn't be a failure, no?

St Mirren concussion, so both teams get another sub.

That headknock was right in front of Beaton. The man is a plum.

That's just embarrassing.

VAR has killed off the enjoyment I had of going to games. Kettlewell's faither is absolutely spot-on.
I can't see me returning regularly until it has been hunted.

I blame the artificial surface, tbh.

Fair play McInnes. Changed it what an incredible impact that has had. Sounds as though Saints have completely unravelled, but have to give credit to Killie for a sensational turnaround.

When Jack Ross secured his 'big' move dahn saaf he hadn't achieved anything of real note. He was very much in the 'promising young manager' bracket.
Robinson has a proven track record at a higher level (in Scotland) and more experience than Ross had. I would be very surprised if Aberdeen don't have him on their list of potential managers. Likewise, its likely he'll be on the radar of clubs up to and including the level of the English Championship.
Sadly, I can't see him being at Saints next season.

The Oran Kearney one too.
Aye, that is also true. Clearly I am not so much glass half empty, as glass lying on the floor shattered into many pieces.

There was the mad Jack Ross one to keep us up. Total squad reshuffle.
Aye, that was also in my mind. It was mental, to be sure!

January windows, as a rule, are a bit shite.
The two that stick in my mind are Dundee United breaking the bank to stay up at our expense, and us punting Kenny McLean to go down (at our own expense....Gentlemen's Agreementgate).
I appreciate there are many others of different flavours, but those two are the most memorable for me on many respects.

There is no chance anyone is coming into the squad and replacing Scott Tanser, unless he's injured.
I took that line to be the only way they could crib the word Rangers into the tweet they made about the potential signing.
A bit like the other day when the Record tweeted about "former Rangers hero Duncan Ferguson shovelling snow off the Inverness Caley Thistle pitch"
Absolute fucking melts.
Aye.
Prior to the KO of the Dumbarton v Rangers cup game at the weekend, a pundit on Sportsound referred to a Dumbarton player (keeper maybe) having once been on Rangers books, and how he would be looking to "impress his former employers"....

Genuine question: is anyone screening the 'adverts' that appear on this site? If so, is this type of material deemed appropriate?

Dundee edging closer to us by a point was a price worth paying for the point and laugh value derived from their result against the hapless Rainjurs.
As others have already said, this has been a successful season by any realistic measure. Anyone who doesn't think this has a very short memory or is as deluded as P. Clement Esq.
