Disagree. The boundary for clear and obvious is a person's eyes and brain working together to make the judgment. I can usually tell on the first replay whether a decision is correct. 2bh 10 seconds to make the call is generous and you could argue 5 would be enough. Regardless though it would stop the re refereeing of the game from the VAR official because they simply wouldn't have the time to. No big delays and yet still able to bail the ref out when they have had a mare is what fans wanted from Var in the first place. The Lazetic goal is actually a good example as it's a really tight call. It's certainly not instantly obvious whether he's on or off and var officials would soon learn to not even bother looking at decisions like that imo. They would instinctively know there's no point poring over millimeters because they would never have the time to come to a conclusive decision. If that was the case your prediction of fans counting down is unlikely 2bh (aside from the fact that to do so they would need to know when the var ref actually started watching replays... ) as on marginal calls the var ref would not need to use the allocated time to say "play on". We get it Rico, you don't like VAR. It's unlikely to be going anywhere though and getting the rid of the big delays would make it easier to live with.

Whether fans blame him or not my feeling was when seeing him at ft on wed that I think he defo blames himself. What's most frustrating for me is I thought he looked far more like himself against Livi. If he has a poor game against Dundee then you could argue he should probably be dropped for a few games as his confidence will be shot.

Or at Uefa and Fifa

I sometimes pay attention to the ashes score but that's about it. When I was in the airforce one weekend a couple of pals took me to the pub to watch the ashes promising they would explain the rules. I was really surprised when they massively spat the dummy 20 minutes in on realising I was supporting Australia. My Welsh pal who was also with us said the look of disdain I gave them when they told me I should be supporting England was glorious. It still makes me chuckle thinking about it.

A countdown clock would be a very easy way to make VAR significantly better. If you can't tell if it's an error within ten seconds of seeing replays then it's not clear and obvious, play on.

The first was never a pen but St mirren should have had the lead in the first half with a goal wrongly chopped off for a foul on Mitov. Goals 2 and 3 for them are littered with mistakes and whilst Mitov should have saved at least one of them it's not all on him. That said that does feel like one of his worst performances of the season and from the look of him at full time he knows it. What's frustrating is I thought he was really solid against Livi and looked far more like himself. I think we are defo getting into Thelin has a decision to make territory.

Fucks sake

One of my Aberdeen group chats on what's app is called the "Nicky Devlin appreciation society" for very good reason. Absolutely adore him!

No mate, I just think Milanovic is starting to settle after moving from the other side of the world and fingers crossed we are going to start seeing a lot more from him.

I don't usually either but when he said his farewells I genuinely believed at the time he meant it and he loved the club. I also honestly thought he would want to come back at the tail end of his career if the stars aligned too. As you say, we all see things differently but football wise this was the sorest knife in the back I've personally experienced following the dons.

I've got to be honest I hate Miovski far more. As detestable as an Aberdonian hun is, that is the team the wee rat was raised to support. I.e his loyalty was never with us despite being with the club since a kid. Jack never greeted on the pitch whilst kissing the badge. Jack never went on Instagram saying "moving forward I'll be the club's biggest supporter". Jack was never truly a traitor because he was never one of us in the first place. Miovski is 100% a traitor, he let us believe he was one of us and loved the club so when I heard he was signing for them it hurt far more than Jack or Barron.

If he does have a sensitive side he's REALLY not going to enjoy coming back to Pittodrie. I genuinely think it will be at least as toxic as when Jack came back the first time but probably more. You always love a goal scorer more than a def mid after all

I don't live in Aberdeen so it's harder for me to judge how well this will go down. From the outside looking in though can I ask, do the club not have a point? Would the city not benefit hugely from this project as well as the bonus of keeping AFC within the city? I mean, if you think of all the money the club has brought into the Aberdeen economy over the years and bear in mind the club has never been outwith the top flight since reaching it. That's a lot of away fans spending a lot of money in bars, hotels, restaurants, taxis etc since 1903.

Shots fired! The cynic in me suspects the club is trying to use a convenient provocation to put this into the public domain 18 months out from council elections.

I also thought he would cope with the step up in standard. Injury didn't help him at Girona, nor did the fact they were regressing massively from the success they were having the previous season. I do wonder what went on behind the scenes there as he wasn't prepared to go on loan, insisting on a permanent transfer, and Girona sold him for a cut price too. That reeks of big falling out with the staff. As for his hun form it's pleasing to watch the hordes of mordor start to hate him but unft I suspect it's temporary. Unless they stick him out on loan in Jan he'll likely start scoring eventually and all sins will be forgiven.
