If only…

It's hard to tell, can you confirm one way or another if you enjoyed this season or not?

Tobers and to a slightly lesser extent Gyamfi aren't earning their keep because of injuries. They can go. Suman and Bratveit can also beat it and Vitols can back up Mitov or a new signing (Shamal George).

A list of the squad, and whether I think we should keep or not: Rodrigo Vitols - keep Dimitar Mitov - keep (starter) Nick Suman - oot Per Kristian Bratveit - keep Tom McIntyre - oot Mats Knoester - keep (starter) Gavin Molloy - keep Jack Milne - keep (starter) Liam Morrison - oot Kristers Tobers - keep Richard Jensen - oot Elvis Bwomono - oot Nicky Devlin - keep (starter) Mitchel Frame - keep Graeme Shinnie - keep Stuart Armstrong - keep (starter) Ante Palaversa - oot Alexander Jensen - oot Kjartan Kjartansson - oot Afeez Aremu - oot Dylan Lobban - keep Emmanuel Gyamfi - keep (starter) Dennis Geiger - oot Nicolas Milanovic - oot Kenan Bilalovic - oot Kevin Nisbet - keep (starter) Toyosi Olusanya - oot Lyall Cameron - oot Marko Lazetic - oot Topi Keskinen - keep 15 out the door would be exactly the sort of clear out I think we need. It means being harsh on several players, and zero second chances (if pushed, I'd keep Milanovic and perhaps one of the younger ones like Kjartansson), but it also keeps guys like Tobers and Keskinen who haven't really delivered. Mitov is possibly the only one there who keeping or not will be out of our control, but he can be a placeholder for another goalie if he does leave, as we'll need one. The ones I've labelled starter are just guys I think could play 20+ games as part of a decent side. I think Lobban and Frame can just interchange with Devlin and Gyamfi, and between them we'll be covered for the position. Similarly Tobers and Milne. The fact we only have 7 starters suggests that we'll need to be pragmatic and keep guys like Aremu just in case. It does make the case for signing Olusanya too. It's an extensive rebuild, and I don't see us getting four good starters in one window.

Was going down to this, but last night broke me. Couldn't give a shit about it.

Sorry Swaddon, but I just had to get this up and over and done with............. we move on. Stephen Robinson takes his bunch of charlatans down the A90 to Dens Park in Dundee this weekend for what is thankfully our final game of what has truly been a fukin dreadful season. We avoided the dreaded playoff spot (job done) Avoid defeat at Dens Park and we will finish 8th and runners up in the bottom six table to the jutes. Defeat (which I think will happen) and we will finish the season in a totally embarrassing 9th place behind both Scumdee sides a nd wuite possibly just goal difference keeping us ahead of 10th place KIlmarnock. What a fukin shambles of a season Personally don't think it is going to end well either. 2-0 to Dundee and we close this chapter (finally) and move on and allow Robinson to start the major MAJOR overhaul required. At least we winna be playing championship fitba next season which to be honest looked like a real possibility a few weeks ago.

Aberdeen FC as a Club, don’t try to do anything in the first half of a game. The amount of times we’ve went in at halftime with 0 shots on target is brutal. It’s like we wait to see what’s happening in a game, before deciding how we’re going to approach it. It’s been going on for a few managers now & I’ve no idea why. Heed first you hopeless c*nts

Jane's Addiction - Up the Beach

Neil Young - Saddle Up The Palamino

Yup. Folk thinking because he has been useful in our relegation battle, that he is worth a punt on. We are fucked if that is the standard of player we are looking to sign. Just because he has offered us more than Ambrose, Yengi and Lazetic, shouldn't mean he is given a contract.

Words fail me. Totally fukin pathetic all over the pitch. Good luck Robinson for the rest of your tenure as Aberdeen manager as you are going to fukin need it. This current lot are a disgrace to the badge

Good stuff min, and you are 100% spot on the product has not improved one little bit, (bit like the team to be fair) must be par for the course under the stewardship of colgate teeth Anyway glad you got it sorted min

Pish That's me done. Back for more next season.

He was, purely based on the fact he put in a shift in the first half when the rest of them were taking the night off. Second half he didn’t hide either tbf. But that said, I’ll run around a lot, put in a shift, body the odd CH, and miss a shit load of easy chances for way less than £7k a week if that’s what they are looking for…

Oh no, how will we cope?

They cancelled it after I emailed. Seems they have changed their policy to reflect your experience since I last paid. Not sure on the legal implications of paying 12 months subs for a 9/10 month service but, hopefully, they don't return to it. It's not like the fckg product has improved. " I have cancelled your Red TV subscription. No further payments will be taken from your account. We have changed our Red TV memberships slightly so now they work with a autorenewal service rather than the 12- monthly payments. With this new membership you can unenroll at any time via the website but as your membership was one of the older ones you would need to email to cancel. "

Agreed he was terrible tonight but I expect he’ll be here next season.

You missed Aremu. He was shite too. It's a real concern that we've signed him and there might be an obligation to start him in that role next season. He's bottom six pish, unless he has a massive fitness drive in preseason.

He was our best player tonight again. Not a compliment. The worst thing about Olusanya is that he directs the entire style of play. Direct and long. Constantly. It was pretty rank.

Info released today by MLS Players' Association. That's somewhere between 6 & 7 thousand quid a week. Hard no from me (TBH, I think anyone encouraging him that he can earn a living as a footballer should be sectioned, never mind at this level) https://mlsplayers.org/resources/salary-guide

Fucking seagulls were brutal - lad in front of me has no idea the state of his jacket until he takes it off later. Anyway, did we just lie down to save Robinson’s old team? Whole midfield was dreadful. Ball was in the air far too much tonight. Olusanya at least tries but I’m not sure most of the rest did. Can’t wait to see the back of the likes of Geiger and Palaversa, also Cameron can fuck off back to Mordor.

That was honking. Nae traffic on the way home though.

Weel thank God that is the last home game of the season. Mr Robinson, if that is your style of play I will not be getting my bum out of the seat. If Olosunya is the standard of player we are looking at then that aint going to cut the mustard. He's a trier but not a footballer. A year from now Robinson could well be gone.

Well the normal service that has been 95% of this season well and truly returned there. Dreadful. That first half was the dictionary definition of a meaningless end of season game, every single one of them just going through the motions and then giving away yet another dreadful goal by just completely switching off. The Midfield 3 never got a hold of that game at all. Geiger was poor for him Aremu not great and can we please just get rid of Palaversa now, that boy offers absolutely nothing. Bit brighter for about 20 mins at the start of the second half, but it didn’t last and then another poor goal conceded. None of the defence could cope with Mandron. They are just not built for this league, any of them. Gyamfi gets injured again. Absolutely no use to us that. Olusanya busy again, but misses yet another one on one because he can’t play football. Seriously we have to be able to get better than that. At least that doesn’t continue any chance of anyone being fooled into thinking that this team doesn’t need completely dismantled and rebuilt, they were, are and always will be a poor, poor side. Not one of them did anything to convince anyone they should stay, no bad thing IMO. One game to go, thank fuck…
