Seemingly funny that we didn’t get it. I do wish the media would stop going on about it though. Not hearing anything else. Club are raging. All over it. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Anyone at the Merkland Main corner? I’m less clear why the penalty on Duk wasn’t given. Sportscene didn’t see fit to mention it either other than in commentary. Nobody likes the whiney crybaby pleading foul but needs must at the moment. Link to comment

Is that a permissible and legal attempt for the ball? Incredible. I'm completely lost on why that incident is overlooked. Jihadi John's clothesline on Dante Polvara was criminal and a definite red card offence, now Watkins' assault on Stefan Gartenmann. Fuck the SFA, Fuck the SPFL, Fuck VAR. 1 Link to comment
Ke1t Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 It's up to the club to, at the very least, protest this. But they won't. That's why it happens. Link to comment

a don in oz Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I missed the first 20 seconds or so of the game and only later today saw that Watkins elbow in the first few seconds. wtf? The ref was looking right at it and did nothing. VAR apparently looked at it and did nothing. It's malice or incompetence. They have to choose one. 1 Link to comment

Players nowadays take the cash, and to fuck with who they support and also ramifications of their actions Difference is Barron is out of contract and has his pick of teams. Could see him being signed as a successor to McGregor but even that is going to be a few years out. Very surprised if he stayed in Scotland as he seems like the kind that could flourish abroad. Would recommend Spain so he could get some siestas. Link to comment
a don in oz Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 If Barron signs for an overseas or English team then good on him, hope it goes well... the prick. If he signs for either of the uglies then may every single future shite be a hedgehog. It seems like those are the only two options given he's not signed anything for a year now. Link to comment

Yet, of course, it happened. As for what's the point... Well, stopping us from being relegated would seem a fairly pertinent point. Come on min. Yes and look at the shambles we’re in now. My point is pretty simple - we need to get this appointment right and if the board hasn’t already identified someone then they need to do so before we dunt Robson. If we sack Robson and they don’t have a candidate in mind, that immediately puts us under pressure to appoint someone. Putting hopes in an interim manager is hopeful at best - things could get a lot worse. The other option would be a temporary appointment e.g. someone like McLeish til the end of the season.

Up until the last few games I suspect the board accepted all of the excuses; 4 games against Rangers/Celtic, impact of Euro schedule, lack of home games. I suspect the board hasn’t even considered it until the last week. Link to comment

Reykjavik 1967 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Maybe it's been discussed already, but McGrath was pushed flat on his face in their box while running towards a throw in, second half ? That looked like a penalty at the time but no whistle and presumably no VAR check. Why is that not a penalty? Link to comment

The board are running a professional sporting organisation, if they were competent they should have been able to tell something wasn't right. They fell into the same trap with Goodwin and got caught with their pants down. As the old saying goes "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Link to comment

Goes to show what a CLUELESS manager can do to a squad of very good players at a legacy club with passionate fans in a city of 250,000 people. Chrissakes min. Frankfurt beat Bayern Munich 5-1 today.

GAME OF BILLIONS Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Bayern often have horrific results, blips, they had two howlers in a row last season. Kilmarnock just beat Celtic, these results happen. Bayern got beat by a tier 3 side in the German Cup two weeks ago. That SAME TEAM - Saarbrucken then beat Frankfurt in Round of 16, 2-0, could have been 4-0, Frankfurt in 2023 aren't a good side. Stuttgart are 10 times better than them, third in the league and they play Leverkusen today who top the league right now. Bayern aren't an invincible team, Kane has saved their arse this season. Aberdeen v Frankfurt is a meaningless game in the depths of winter. Field a weak side, then be at full strength to beat Rangers at Hampden. Very very doable with the right mentality in place. Pragmatism is the only good -ism in life. Link to comment
donswin1983 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Shirley, this is meaningless for EF too? Or is there a benefit in ending top of an EC Group? Nae idea and checking between them and PAOK if neither of us give a fuck, then hopefully EF play there under U18s and we just play with Big Papa G, Ruby, 8 lucky posters from the hat and a goalie and keep the score respectable! 1 Link to comment

Obviously they aren't shite, but they have bad seasons, get thrashed from time to time. I only watched a bit of Frankfurt v Bayern and it was hard to tell what went wrong. Who cares, Dons v Frankfurt is a meaningless game, focus on getting everything right at Hampden next Sunday. Rangers are still wonky as fuck, the Aris game showed that, they don't control their games and the pressure is on them like fuck these days. Game is ours for the taking, no excuses, no one is injured, the players should just go out there and get stuck in, attack and hold their heads high whatever happens. If we see shit football, we'll all go nuclear on Robson, that's happened already. 1 Link to comment
