strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Because we’re so used to Scottish defenders being shite on the ball. “On his touch” and all that! Link to comment

They've got fuck all fans, and presumably Azerbaijani TV rights aren't much? So are they being funded by oil? yep was thinking the same last night Link to comment

But as yet Glass hasn't addressed it either. Brown is a good start but he can't do it all himself. We need to get the right type of players around him. And that's not Ojo or Teddy Jenks.

If Cormack and Glass ignore it we will be in real trouble. The players they have bought in have had flashes of inspiration but none appear to have the quality needed for the long haul to make a challenge in the league. Glass got off to a good start but he now faces an uphill struggle to achieve consistent results. Same old, I think. Link to comment

They seem to have realised it beforehand though as the funds for the three being brought in over the last 24 hours would have been sanctioned before last night's game. Link to comment

I feel we could have got out of that group. Obviously I know it wouldn't have happened exactly like that, but theoretically. Quarabag will get out of that group. That's easy to say, but I don't know. We've no idea how they cope under pressure, as we didn't manage to put them under pressure at any stage over the two games. We don't even know if their defenders are any good at defending. The full backs were great at making offensive runs, the centre backs stepped out well with the ball at their feet. But we never found out whether they can defend. Link to comment

Aye, right enough. They looked well fucking average threatening to go 4 up by half time. As I said on another post - however you dissect the dons performance I doubt we could have matched their level last night. On that showing they are a very decent side Link to comment

It was definitely by design as well. You could see it happening, all starting when they were on the opposite side of the pitch. Link to comment

It's easy to look good if you are up against a woeful and incompetent opponent. That showing. Yes. Indeed. That showing. Which was against shite.

muttonhumper Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Was actually thinking about how badly the performance rated in terms of all European games we've played at Pittodrie. It was so fucking soul destroyingly bad it rates in the top 3 home Euro horror shows. Alongside Olomouc and Rijeka. Honourable mentions to Bohemians and Zalgiris Vilnius. The only other ones that come close, but still way behind Thursday. Bohemians being a last 10 minutes of madness, not 90 minutes of drivel. Vilnius we were 4-1 up from the away leg anyway.

I'm getting it clear as day - you reckon Thursday was entirely doon to the dons being shit. You're missing the bit where I agreed we were pish but doubt we could have matched that Qarabag performance regardless. Pick your best dons performance under Glass and try comparing that to Qarabag on Thursday - I canna see this dons side matching that level. And stop calling me a cunt. Ye cunt Link to comment
