bobb4you Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Has it occurred to anyone that perhaps what he is trying to say is that, other than the goals conceded, our goalkeeper has not had a save to make? That would certainly be true of at least 2 or 3 of the games listed above. So what he should have said is, "During the match the goalkeeper had two or three important saves to make, but didn't."

sheepiekev Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Our keeper will have another two saves to make that he didn't have to make tomorrow Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Our keeper will have another two saves to make that he didn't have to make tomorrow That is deep. Link to comment
sheepiekev Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 That is deep. It's a bit like the inevitable like two new like new signings comment we'll get from Broon when Osborne & Milsom are fit to play in pre season. You can hear the old duffer saying it already. Mark it in your diary for the first days pre season press conference....I'd laugh if it wasn't so feckin predictable Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 So what he should have said is, "During the match the goalkeeper had two or three important saves to make, but didn't." Perhaps. Open to interpretation is what I was getting at. Link to comment

Liam Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 also "mitigating circumstances" made a reappearance tonight. How can he say our keeper hasnt had a save to make every single game? its scary. Neither been for or against Brown since the start, but he has turned me fully into to against category now. Pathetic at times. Link to comment

K-9 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Aberdeen 1 Hibs 2 - "We had the 3 best chances in the first half... We were two down and the goalkeeper hadn't made a saveWe had no chances in the first half. It took 38 minutes for the hibs keeper to touch ball with his hands and that was from an overhit punt that bounced through to him. Link to comment

K-9 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Tend to agree, although the second he starts blaming the fans then get some post its printed off and I'll meet you outside the Mainer Thinking about Saturday football next season now. Even with free tickets no desire to watch that for another season. Link to comment
Stoneybloke Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Has Knox ever given any interviews. I think it's all been down to Brown. Might be interesting to get his view on things for a change. He seems to be very much a background figure. What does he actually do? Link to comment
afc_blockhead Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I think the Brown hatred from some (an increasing amount) is missing the point slightly. There are lots of things he has got wrong and can be blamed for, but he now seems to be turning in to a hate figure in some peoples eyes, as if he is the sole cause of the situation Aberdeen are in. However take a look at the win percentage of every manager we have had from Alex Miller to present : 1997 1998 Alex Miller 43 11 13 19 (25.58%)1999 2002 Ebbe Skovdahl 159 54 37 68 (33.96%) 2002 2004 Steve Paterson 68 23 13 32 (33.82%)2004 2009 Jimmy Calderwood 227 94 60 73 (41.41%) 2009 2010 Mark McGhee 62 17 13 32 (27.42%) 2010 - Present Craig Brown 69 23 19 27 (33.33%) For the past 15 years every manager we have had has failed and been much the same , Skovdahl , Paterson and Brown occupy a very similar win ratio , with Mcghee and Miller in a shit league of their own. The current situation is just the latest part of a long decline at AFC. Is Milne the problem? Probably. I'm not saying we should keep Brown because of the above, what I am saying is our support arent the brightest, we just want a manager sacked every 2-3 years, giving ourselves the illusion that the new poor sod will be the one to turn it all around.

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I totally agree with what you are saying... But I think Craig Browns mistakes have been far too obvious. They are verging on stupid. At least Steve Patterson tried to sign full backs... even if they were Jamie McQuilken. Brown has completely ignored certain positions and just signed an abundance of players who are all the same. Link to comment
Redstar Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 So Broon has a worse record than a self-confessed Alcoholic Jakey who had to be driven from the stadium in the boot of a car as he was too embarrassed (pished) to face the press. What was I thinking...keep him on a bit longer...maybe we'll see him driven from the stadium in the boot of a car ...an estate with glass sides... Link to comment

He has made those mistakes , odd though because when he replaced Mcghee he seemed to fill all the positions that needed filling. The point stands though, if Brown goes the next guy has a maximum of 18 months -2 years before everyone wants him out. The cycle will never end ! Link to comment

Since then 15 wins in 56 games. Talking just league in last 48 league matches just 11 wins is just about as bad as it gets. Link to comment
