Kowalski Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Brown accepts share of blame for Aberdeen FC cup defeat Manager defiant after loss to East Fife By Charlie Allan Published: 21/09/2011 ABERDEEN FC boss Craig Brown today made it clear he won’t be quitting in the wake of the club’s humiliating League Cup defeat by East Fife. But he hinted the clock is now ticking on the Pittodrie futures of some of the players who “lacked the bottle and character” to see off the Second Division part-timers at Pittodrie. Brown admitted he picked the wrong Aberdeen FC team and is willing to face the flak for that. Aberdeen FC skipper Foster takes the flak Fans vent their feelings at Richard By Sean Wallace Published: 21/09/2011 ABERDEEN FC’s Richard Foster today vowed to take the flak for another cup shame game. Furious fans vented their anger as they booed Aberdeen FC’s flops following a League Cup shocker.

BobbyBiscuit Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Clark, Mackie, Foster and Considine... how many of the Cup "disasters" have they played in, anyone know off the top of their head? Quote
glasgowdon Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Clark, Mackie, Foster and Considine... how many of the Cup "disasters" have they played in, anyone know off the top of their head? Sure I read Consi had a good game last night. Just saying. I know what you're getting at though, we have the core of the team with a history of failure. Quote
manc_don Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Worst of all, we brought one of those back! Quote
glasgow sheep Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Sounds like we were all over them tbh Although haven't read a report for all the self flagellation that is going on. Seems bizarre to change a team so dramatically that had shown signs of promise on Saturday. In particular bringing Mackie and Vernon back in. Clark as well is a fucking abomination and should get to fuck. Good to see the tombola still alive and well at Pittodrie. How many fucking awful results and performances have we had over the last 10yrs where we've seen players out of position and teams chopped and changed seemingly at random. I beginning to think we must be wrong as surely Calderwood, McGhee and Brown can't all be wrong....I mean look at their wikipedia pages. Quote
BigAl Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Well thank you Craig, my day has just got so much better reading that. Was just wondering when the "I'm to blame", "Sorry for the fans", "We'll put it right on Saturday" sort of stories were going to start Here's a tip, how about just shutting the fuck up, rip a few new arseholes behind the scenes, and just getting on with the job you're paid to do. Without wishing to tip anyone over the edge, but am I right in thinking we gave Chris Clark a three year deal when he came back Quote

For that alone Browns position should be open to question. Quote

BigAl Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Although to be fair, some previous managers would probably not have accepted the blame. Fair point, one in particular springs immediately to mind Quote
McMaster Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Steve Paterson would have been too pissed or hungover to have noticed we had a midweek cup game never mind take the blame! :-( No that i think its him your talking aboot. Quote

Graeme_S Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Without wishing to tip anyone over the edge, but am I right in thinking we gave Chris Clark a three year deal when he came back I said in the Chris Clark signs thread, that I wasn't pleased at having him back and got slated for not giving the guy a chance. I gave him a chance during his first spell with the dons, and figured we need hungry players pulling on the shirt. Not someone coming back 'home' at the end of his career. which was why I thought it was the wrong signing. anyone can miss a pen, but having not seen many recent games, what's his general contribution been so far?

BigAl Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 what's his general contribution been so far? Ensuring the pyhsio earns his wage. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Taking some of the boo-boy attention from Foster and Mackie? Quote
