I have to go back this Saturday. 😔 Really not enjoying going to our games at the moment. I just find us a very unlikeable team, with an unlikeable manager. Was up at Fraserburgh on Saturday and went along to the Broch game against Strathspey. The 2-2 draw I watched, was a decent game and both teams were going for it. The Strathspey manager was sent off, getting stick from the stands and giving them the wanker sign back, just wouldn't happen in the big league. £12 to get in. The same price as a portion of loaded fries from our funcy looking shipping container in the South Stand. It does help when you haven't got a horse in the race you're watching. I'll go along to Pittodrie on Saturday and hope our bunch of Jokers can come up with a win.

Annie Lennox - Little Bird

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird

Alt-J - Left Hand Free

I would prefer Neil Lennon 👍

Craig Levein until the end of the season.

I did not want him as manager either. nae idea who I wanted but it wasn't Robinson (Maybe Neil Lennon 🤪🤪) I am of the opinion Robinson was a knee jerk appointment after the Dunfermline defeat in the cup, and he was also a lazy appointment. We lost to The pars March 6th and Robinson was appointed 6days later on the 12th (total knee-jerk) That being said and like I have treated every manger (even Neil fkn Warnock) I got behind them and supported them and hoped they go on to be Aberdeen legends and bring success back to our our once great club. Sadly it's lookin like another case of rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat. Rip it up and start again. I think he will be gone by Christmas. Then where do we go from here? I have no fukin idea

0-1

well well well that was as bad as I have seen for a long tme. The laddie Yogane will never be football player just never. Milne maybe was a bit unfortunate for the penalty but he is still utter mince and the fact he started ahead of Happe and Mayo has me asking serious questions of our manager. Can't blame the keeper for their goal but, he is certainly NOT an upgrade on Mitov. A wee glimmer of hope - The boy Mahou looked as if he might be OK but fk me any potential and any confidence he might have is soon going to be sucked right out of him playing along side that shower of fukin charlatans week in week out. Any lingering snippets of optimism for the season that I was clinging on to have now totally evaporated. Our last 6 results (LLDWDL) is exactly the same as Falkirk and Killie who are 11th and 12th (respectively) Buckle up it's going to be another long long dreadful fkn season. Lower the expectations, hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Congratulations to St J, for getting their FIRST clean-sheet of the season well done.

Luke Bryan - But I Got A Beer In My Hand

Five weeks on and I could just copy and paste what I wrote above. Still doesn't know our strongest XI. Still doesn't have any momentum (granted, there was some nod to having turned a corner after three draws in 90 minutes and the Motherwell win). Still doesn't have any real identity in the team, unless "hard to beat but will rarely score" is what we were aiming for. Smith can't buy a start. Armstrong in and out of the starting XI. Hard for anyone to get a run of form with the chopping and changing. I think Nisbet, Cadden, Guinness-Walker, Knoester and Müller are the only ones to consistently start. Had the international break to work on things. Against Dunfermline played 3-4-3. Abandons it and goes with a 3-5-2 against St Johnstone. See this "it's not what I see every day in training", is he maybe playing a different shape in training? The next three games before the semi-final are: - St Mirren (home) Dundee United (away) Falkirk (home) You couldn't have picked a better set of fixtures. Two home games against two teams really struggling (although one of them is above us still) and an away fixture against a bang average side that we'll take a big support to. If we come out of these three still feeling as we do right now, then we'll head to Hampden with zero confidence. And if we're still in the bottom six and out of the cup in November, then Robinson might not make it to the next international break.

Yes AFC are guaranteed to end any oppositions loosing streak, we are bound to get relegated sometime ☹️

A team of average players, no one with any nous or guile with the ability yo pick a pass to enable the front two to get a chance on goal, no ammo = no possibility for the forwards to score. I've read recently about the international break giving the players the chance to work together, get to know each other and how positive training has been, i saw fek all of that today. Pish.

That’s a horrible run of form. If you could ask them to handpick their next opponents, it would be us

St Mirren had Killian Phillips up front yesterday and Alex Gogic is constantly being caught out in a back four. They have conceded eight goals in their past two games (to Dundee United and Hearts). They are mostly a young side with a naive manager who is taking his first steps in management in a league probably above his current level. If Craig McLeish comes up to Pittodrie and schools Stephen Robinson for the third time, then I think it's fair that he gets to keep him and we therefore, reluctantly, let them take him back down the road with him.

The losers attempt to lose yet another home game on Saturday at 3 pm at Pittodrie. I fancy a routine 3-0 away win for the Buddies.

He was the closest player to the bench at the time Cadden signalled his injury I'm guessing! Lyons to right back, Aremu into midfield made sense if it was the 20th minute, but not when chasing the game.

Aye, that was turgid stuff. Was worried when I saw the line up. Lyons and Ronan isn't a midfield pairing. Our midfield three come from: Ronan or Lyons Aremu or Briedl Marshall or Armstrong Ronan is a shitter version of Clarkson and can't be relied on in the deep role. He can do the box to box part alongside another (as can Lyons, but Ronan is better). Armstrong is the most versatile, but at his age is better coming on for Marshall and getting into the box (playing like McGrath used to). It should be fucking obvious to the manager, and it should be doubly obvious after today. Lyons was utter dogshite, which is why he was a sub for Killie. He has some attributes, mainly yardage, but he needs actual footballers around him. Milne was very unlucky with that anti-football decision, but was otherwise poor. It's not entirely his fault, but he doesn't help himself. If we're playing a back three at home against St Johnstone, then we need one of the three to be breaking into midfield constantly. Knoester is best at that, probably, but doesn't do it from the central position. Molloy was good today, but the reason he didn't give the ball away as much as Milne is because he didn't even attempt to take the ball forward. Milne's starting position needed to be much higher if he's being asked to join in midfield, as every time he took the ball forward from deep, the rest of his teammates disappeared. When he took the ball forward from higher up the park, it would draw a player out of position and he used the ball effectively. Of course, Milne is just a single example of the lack of tactics across the team. We'd work the ball wide, and then loop a ball in. It doesn't look like we've worked on getting the ball to particular areas of the box or having any rehearsed phases of play at all. Under Thelin, you could at least see an element of instruction. It could just be that we aren't very good at following instructions. There are far too many average players in the squad, and nobody that can create something out of nothing. Seventh will be an achievement with this bunch.

It was even weirder bring him on with 5 minutes to go...did Robinson really expect him to score or create an gilt-edged chance? Would have made more sense to bring on Happe and play him up front😆.

We seem to often be poor after an International break but I was fairly optimistic going into today and with a number of home games thereafter. Pretty dejected after that shower of sh1te today. Unless we see some noticeable improvement in next couple of games then seriously thinking of writing off the cost of our semi final tickets and just watching at home

Mods: might be worth adding 90mins to the next game countdown timer and changing the word "kick-off" to "sacked"

A lot of possession and work rate but no clue how to break a defence down. We don’t seem to have any creative players - maybe Smith - but nobody that can put a killer ball through to split a defence. Dropping Aremu is an odd choice. He wouldn’t have been the difference today but still seemed a strange move. Also Milne over Happe and Mayo tells a story!

Robinson spent pre-season telling everyone the team was going to be playing four at the back and it would be a case of getting forward quickly, high pressing, lots on intensity. We didn't sign the players to play it. So, now we're back to a 3/5 man defence. We can't really play 3-4-3 because we haven't signed good enough wingers. So we're playing 3-5-2. But, Cadden and Guinness-Walker don't provide enough from the wings, and unless you play Olysanya then playing a front two appears to actually nullify our best finisher, Nisbet. But, playing Olusanya means no room for Mouloua in this system. It feels like we have a new midfield every week. We needed to sign new centre halves, but today started with three from last season because the ones we've signed aren't good enough. They weren't the main culprits today of course (handball v Milne apart) but he clearly doesn't trust them enough to play a back four. The worry is - this is very similar to Robinson's campaign at St Mirren last season. We have the same number of league victories at this stage (two) as they did, and also have a League Cup semi to paper over the cracks. We've built a counter attacking team, which is why Motherwell away was such a success. But in the league we have failed to even score at home to Kilmarnock and St Johnstone, and I don't expect a huge amount in the next two v St Mirren and Falkirk.

That was less fun than my flu jag. Shower of fannies

Predictable. Tough not to judge the fans who stayed beyond the 15th minute in the hope another goal would be scored.
