V for Vendetta Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Our whole team does it though, which is why it was a surprise when Chidiebere came on and got stuck into the opposition instead of sitting back and letting them play? This pretty much sums up why we beat the cannon fodder teams that undo themselves as we sit back but are convincingly beaten by Celtic and even Rangers who both have good enough players to take advantage us as we sleepily sit off them. 1 Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Of course you didnt say it. I was taking the piss out of your argument. So clarify for me. Is your position that you cant be both happy to win comfortably AND be critical of particular aspects where weaknesses are evident? Did I say you couldn't? I merely commented that some people seem to always be moaning and complaining no matter what happens. I really don't know why you are still banging on about this. Link to comment
Mr John Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I merely commented that some people seem to always be moaning and complaining no matter what happens. Because we're from Aberdeen!!! 1 Link to comment

Like how we should have won more cups while the competition was weakened over the years even though what we have done in the league during this same period has been good. Link to comment

We either attack until the opposition lets in a goal or two, then we sit off once we think the job is done, sometimes we seem to do it when we havent scored, is it a fitness thing sometimes or is it the famous "game management"?? We're too used to it working against the weaker teams and don't have an alternative or plan B as it's called, when it goes wrong and doesn't work against a stronger team. That's the reason why we won't get past the qualifiers in Europe and yet still be the best of the rest in Scotland, we can't adapt well 1 Link to comment

Well we do but is not very good. Even our plan A in regular games would be better in the bigger games but our plan A in the bigger games is one based on fear & respect of the opposition.

maryhilldon Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Another annoying trait of Logan is the way he turns his back to the ball when someone goes to shoot. Makes it easy for the opposing player to feign a shot and make more space for himself, also makes Logan look like a bit of a shitebag. Link to comment

I really don't know why you are still banging on about this.You said people were not happy we won 4-2 and were into the next round (no one said that) and needed to cheer up. So you clearly failed to understand that you can be both. Link to comment
G31DON Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Saw this from Jim Spence today. 11,133 was Dundee United best average crowd under Jim Maclean in 82/83 season while Dundee Best average was 24,300 season 48/49 Link to comment
