There’s some amount of shite being posted on here by United fans. “Ojo was wound up on the pitch for the five minutes before he was assaulted by a person(?), so he deserved all he got” to paraphrase, is my favourite.

I think you are paraphrasing innaccurately. The suggestion is that his behaviour in the five minutes prior to his second booking influenced the referee, not that he deserved being sent off for his reaction to the push.

Exactly, we'll have to agree to differ, as I don't think you are seeing what I've written. On Saturday night I emphasised in 4 different posts that Ojo shouldn't have been sent off in the fan incident. That opinion hasn't changed.

Yeap, as I said, there's little point in arguing about it. 

United have banned the idiot, and that's the right thing to do, so good on them. I doubt if anything will come of the charge of assault but maybe the fattie will learn to keep himself under control. 

The sourest taste in the mouth is that Ojo (and by default, Aberdeen) still has to pay the penalty for Madden getting it ridiculously wrong.

your club hosted a match where one of your own supporters assaulted an opposition player, not to mention the fact the United stewards then didn’t even remove said fan. You’re just going to have to accept it’s a massive embarrassment for your club and they should apologise.

The fact it materially affected the match is secondary to the above but it should supplement your clubs embarrassment.

Not one of Bobby "No Surrender" Madden's best moments

Let’s remember it was 10 v 10.  Maybe if you’re team and manager weren’t so shit you might have got something out of the game.

Expect that response from a fanboy on a football forum, a football club a bit different.

We paid the penalty because it should have been 10 v 11.

Butchers stupidity couldve cost us but thankfully it was only Aberdeen we were up against

I agree it should have been 10 v 11.  Doesn’t distract from you having a shit team with a shit manager.  Maybe the whole Ojo incident has helped detract from Glass’ inability; at least until the next game.

Very eloquently put.

It’s probably for the best that Aberdeen won’t be returning to Tannadice on league business this season. Hopefully the Dons have some closure come the next campaign.

You do wind-ups like my dad. Which is not surprising, given that you're probably as old as him. 

I'm sure you still snigger at Benny Hill and any 1970's comedian who points at burd's tits and says 'oh, that reminds me, I have to buy melons today'. 

It's the kind of wind up that's so excrutiatingly un-clever, it's almost clever.

Both teams were mediocre.

For a team so high up on the league this season, United's ability to create so little against a defence filled with midfielders was a bit of a surprise.

As for the Ojo incident detracting from other elements of AFC's performance, I agree - an APB is still out for Hedges and Watkins, who were missing in action - and thus the team remained as toothless as in all the matches they were injured for.

This element of our play was meant to have been solved with their return to fitness, but the 'final ball' as practiced at Cormack Pack seems to just involve hitting the thing speculatively into an area and hoping it maybe drops kindly.

Good finish by Harkes.

 

Wouldn't have scored if Ojo was still on the park. Harkes was his man.

Benny Hill back on a satellite channel tonight. Tell your dad.

You don't think that United can retain their top six spot? Surprising.

It’s a bit sad that you’re getting so wound up that you need to resort to backhanded insults.  You really need to chill.

I was never a fan of Benny Hill but you certainly strike me as someone who was brought up in a household where that sort of ‘humour’ was appreciated.  Not your fault of course.

By that logic no team should ever score if the player marking the scorer is on the park.

Bit of an over the top reaction to what was only meant as a good natured tease. 

No offence meant.
