Until we rid ourselves of clowns like considine who continually make poor decisions in games we wont progress

 

Whole defence apart from Smith are hit & miss. Midfield sound enough and more solid if Fyvie gets back to fitness and form. Reckon Blackman just needs a run out in thebteam playing a bit better to perform. Vernon probably best player this season, Maguire..... Dunno, if he played every match like today then who knows. Shopping list has to be a defense and maybe one solid experienced battler in midfield.

Agreed, but don't forget we also need forwards who can consistently score goals. Can't win matches without scoring.

 

Bit more structure and flow in the team and I reckon the current forwards are "allright". Don't reckon there'll be enough cash in the pot to do a full rebuild, could be another painful season to come but hopefully better than this season maybe at least challenge for 3rd/4th and a cup.

Bloody shame about that sending off - we coped pretty well to half time too. A squad where Deek Young ends up at centre half in a semi final :deadhorse:

 

Vernon looks like he needs that Hernia op, Aluko and Maguire have been lively. Milsom looks exhausted and in need of a rest.

 

Different story with a stronger midfield - Folly or Fyvie available. Summertime and we need to seriously start with building a solid back 4.

 

It's weird how optimism about Aberdeen seems to be hard wired into your subconcious when the reality is sadly completely different.

 

Still think the penalties awarded were soft and clever play from the strikers.

 

f**k It the sun is shining !

Competed well but from moment it's 10 men it's game over. That rule really should be changed, penalty and yellow card would be sufficient, sending off completely ruins game as contest. Minimal contact though.

 

Clangers could have done better with first goal and been quicker to react but wouldn't put blame solely at his door, defence should have cleared. Second goal preventable but with a man light the guy gets space.

 

Second penalty award is a joke, very clever from Stokes seeing Young slide in and no where to go so goes down. Terrible decision but Young shouldn't have slid in.

The 2nd penalty just needed a little common sense from the referee. not a penalty in a million years, but if I'm honest I full expected it to be given Collum is joke of a referee

Not sure Young even made contact with him as he slid alongside of him. A dive from Stokes, shock.

 

As I said in my other post, clever from Stokes, sees Young sliding in and with nowhere to go just goes down as always going to get the penalty from referees who are now scared to give any 50/50 decision against Celtic.

Stokes went down easy, but it looked like a stone-Waller in fairness. Poor decision to go to ground with the striker running out of grass at the corner. Not easy position, but Young should have stayed on his feet.

Most definitely, Young completely stupid to slide in as Stokes forced wide and no danger but once he goes in, has to get ball, doesn't and easy for Stokes to go down and referee will always give it from his position, especially when it's a Celtic player.

Ah well, that's it for another year. The record books will say we got to two semi-finals, but to me, it's all been deeply unsatisfying and very frustrating. We shouldn't forget that relegation was a possibility and we are likely to finish second bottom.

 

I dare say that by the time the new season starts we will have regenerated some optimism, but it's been an unacceptably long time since we had some success.

 

I know that I will never be able to stop supporting Aberdeen, as it's been embedded in me for too long, but the level of interest I maintain might be questionable in the future.

 

Craig Brown and Archie Knox have maybe temporarily baled out a sinking ship, but I fear that it's still heading for the rocks.
