Wouldn't disagree but what I was trying to say (I'm an old guy so try to bear with me) was that I thought Gieger gave his all today even when he was gassed towards the end and that I thought that Shinnie wouldn't have produced the same intensity today as he did in midweek.

That's why I decided to finally take the forum plunge by signing up on here. I don't like confrontation or silliness hence putting all the fools I run into on my ignored user list and the other Aberdeen forum seemed to be packed full of antagonists

Nigel Garage on a jolly in the Indian Ocean (think that's where it is but I can't be bothered doing an internet search) how ridiculous. None of the right wing cranks who are making such a massive fuss over the Chagos Islands sketch had even heard of the place before and now it's all about helping the Chagosians. University of Wikipedia glecks.

Maybe, but my spidey senses are tingling I'm just hoping for a Kelt vs Seve's child confrontation on here at some point. There's a bit too much sensible discussion on here for my liking. Need some mentalists to complete the circle.

Lot to be said for only having two political parties. One of each side. Personally I'd quite like there to be only the one but you don't get away with that these days.

How it should be.

No, I thought he was RJ initially, but no, although I am sure he has posted previously with a different name. I clicked on AbMad last week by accident and RJ was still posting recently. I don't think he realises he is the last man standing.

A collection of utter spuds. They had the smoothest brains in politics

Suppose that's good news for the SNP and all nationalists. No split vote.

The Alba party don't have the funds to contest the upcoming Holyrood elections.

Just finished watching: Das Boot (Theatrical version) - very good or should I say sehr gut.

Im all for it provided they dont play politics by deciding to just propose things without costing and change free to 'free at the point of service'. Then perhaps balance things out making bus/ public transport 'not for profit' and use the extra revenew from Glasgow, Edinburgh etc to subcidise services in rural areas. Of course they could also break the bullshit and and say ' right things in the sick little nimby island have gone seriously downhill since 2008. You the voters have a choice. We carry on as we are with some people genuinly not knowing that the tax in yer pay cheque is for schools, hospitals, roads and so on (a real downer for me was a conversation I had with a much younger highly educated professional who had somehow gone through their adult life thinking income tax and national insurance was just something to pay the politicians.....well we had a tory government at the time so there is some merit) or we perhaps start emulating what those crazy Danes, Norwegians, Swedes etc have been doing. Start thinking as a society and not the Thatcherite ME ME ME If a politician offers a tax cut start asking what that extra £6 a year in yer pocket will actually cost you (a school, hospital ward, dentist, GPs fire station, police station etc) If a government tells you they will freeze council tax start actually ondering how the fuck yer local authority is going pay for things after 5 years of inflation. In fact just forget the whole thing. Country is fucked, everyone loves their own echo chamber so may as well throw ourselves in front of a local bus assuming they havent cut the service before you reach the pavement

What will be announced soon? Because Horneland hasn't signed any contract with the club, so unless you're aware of something we're not, you're just guessing.

He's not being helped by all the suspensions. Four red cards in five games is difficult for any manager to deal with. I think he needs a stint as assistant manager, I don't think he's the man to lead us long term at the moment. Appears the opposite of Thelin in terms of temperament, but that's not always a good thing - at least with Thelin he would keep a cool head, and at times make smart decisions during a game. Leven was losing it with the players when they were celebrating after making it 2-2. I praised him for that v Livi as there was a chance to take the lead before half-time - which we did - but I think with 10 men, and we'd been down to 10 for a while, you maybe just take a wee breather, and take stock of things. I think we got a bit scattergun after equalising and a lot of that came from the dugout.

He gets a bit irate about new threads. I reckon he just wants admin powers and then go full Trump when he does get them. Hitting us all with Tariffs. We'll not go over the 'AFC Stuff/Brewdog' thread debacle from November. I've not been brave enough to start any new threads yet, so fair play.

Second game in a row where we started well, creating chances, early goal and let's take it on from here - then we go down to 10 men and become a mess. Olusanya I thought did well in the first half, but the second he just stumbled over everything. We need a new manager poring over this, recognising what needs changed in summer - whether that's from afar or in the dugout. Is Horneland even watching our games, does he have any intention of taking us over? We need clarity on that very soon.

Nae sure what you are trying to say, but Shinnie is still our best overall midfielder and that in itself is a damming indictment of whete we are, despite his legs having gone. I thought Geiger played well and honestly believe he could play a big role for us, but the pace of the game slipped by him at times and he tired quickly and should have been subbed, which is understandable, given he has played little this past year. A far better bet, for me, than our Nigerian.midfielder, who really didn't Impress. I'm sure the forum experts will advise me differently, but wasn't impressed at all. Geiger the least of our issues at the moment.

Well, personally thought Geiger gave it his all today...even when he was completely gassed he was still trying to get back to help out Frame. And yet again you made your normal "sarcastic" remark about Shinnie - do you really think if he'd been available today he'd have had anything like the influence he had on Wednesday? As you say neither Olusaya nor Keskinen can play fitba, nor can Lazetic and whenever he gets the ball to feet, neither can Milne. So we've 4 players who don't have the basic attributes of being a fitba player. It's like watching Scotland against Wales tonight in the 6N...went 26-23 up they punt it up from the KO and our guy drops it - you are a rugby player surely the first thing you learn is to catch a ball! We have too many players who can't do the basics.

VAR is just a TV replay, every decision is still made by a referee. Unfortunately ours are all incompetent.

I am not convinced that Leven is getting much input this time around. I think our Director of Football is having a lot of influence.

So much panic with so little need. We got nobbled not by Dundee but by Morrison/ VAR / the ref delete as you feel fit. Decent enough performance for the most part. Lot to be positive about. Steady the buffers and believe.

If we are getting a new manager in the summer, I’d prefer we can leven and go with doc for now. There’s a reason leven stays with us, he’s not a head coach and is comfortable with us. He hurt us today.

There's no better version of VAR. The time was for the referees to talk about whether to send the player off or not. It's honking across the world, because it's a shite system, based on an idiotic premise. It always will be. That said, I couldn't believe that Morrison wasn't sent off before VAR intervened, I'm not sure what the ref thought he saw. Yep, this is where I am. I can't work the guy out at all. He could be completely shite, or he could turn out to be very good. Positionally, he seems to know what he's doing, and he's okay on the ball too. However, I thought he looked overweight, and is certainly not ready for a start. It was awful management. I don't think we'd have lost the third goal if we'd subbed Geiger. Nilsen would have been sitting in that area, and the defensive lineup would have just been more secure. Geiger wasn't offering a great deal going forward either, and a 70% fit player is rarely better than a fully fit one coming on. It was a glaring error by Leven. I'd argue not making a double sub in the first half, taking Aremu off, was also a mistake that led directly to us losing goals before halftime.

Looks like it.
