Match Thread Livingston 0 - 2 Aberdeen

[Fridge]

But back to Dad’s point, why are we doing this? Celtic will most probably win the league, Huns will probably be second.

 

We just want to be having a fucking go that’s why we follow the team. Why are we not attacking and not playing out best player at Livingston?

[Sonoftherock]

I’m laughing! Amazing! Can watch the Edinburgh derby freak show without too much concern tomorrow! Other than the general concern about how bad Scottish football is right now. That was awful today. No way to dress it up.

[Shinniesta]

St Johnstone must have been raging only leaving Pittodrie with a point last week. They were the better team by some distance.

Exactly. I don't see how he can say we should be on 18 points? Not by performances on the park we shouldn't be. Yes on paper they were all very winnable fixtures but we have all since realised that we are actually not a very good team and football is not played on paper.

 

Gonna be a long season. Major apathy has set in already.

[DelMonte]

Knew exactly how shite we'd look as soon as I saw the line up. Predictable garbage. The players are scared to make a mistake so they punt it long or play a sideways pass every time.

Apathy has indeed set in.

The boo's were ringing out for the majority of the game.

Clock is ticking now on the current tenure.

[Ten Caat]

Clock is ticking now on the current tenure.

 

It most certainly would be had the board not jumped in and handed McInnes his contract extension. I suspect we are just about good enough not to get ourselves involved in a relegation battle...…..although the product we serve up will be turgid. So sadly the clock won't be ticking for at least another 18 months

[robbojunior]

That was up there with the worst games of football I've ever seen. Absolute garbage

[super_al]

I remember going to see Aberdeen play Livi away back during the Calderwood reign. The game was absolutely brutal, ended 0-0 and even Barry Nic said in the post match interview, “we were shite”. God knows what the current players would make of today’s performance.

[aberdeen1970]

Amazing we are clear in third now! How is that possible? How bad is the rest of Scotland? Because we are fucking terrible!

 

That was utterly horrific. I feel like killing myself after watching that... and we won 0-2 away from home!

 

What is going on?

We've had an easy start. Tough games all to come.

 

Still managed to lose at St Mirren and draw at home to St Johnstone though.

[maryhilldon]

Scottish football really is the most overpriced shite in the world. How do they get away with charging £25 to watch the garbage on offer? Wasn't there today and not in a hurry to attend a game anytime soon as long as McInnes is in charge.

[Torry Tosser]

Playing these hideous tactics will make the fans stay away,they did at Bristol when he was there.

If ever there was a manager who gives shit opposition too much respect, then its him.

Thoughts are with the bed welters tonight

 

Don’t worry, we’ll get a pasting from Sevco next weekend, lots to look forward to for you lads

Solid post, Frank.

Keep it up.

Come on Frank.

 

Nobody is wetting the bed but the football is getting progressively worse.

[Poodler]

Dons fans applauding Ricksen today should be banned for life

 

From the hat

[shooftahmooftah]

Cracks papered over for another week then.

Earthquakes are just around the corner.

[Frank Grimes]

Come on Frank.

Haha

 

I’ve nae even read the thread tbf

 

I know we were honking today, but 2-0 away from home, fuck it

[DelMonte]

Lost interest in these cunts. We are so boring

[super_al]

Hearts are going to batter us next week. Our midfield is so weak.

[old sheep]

Lost interest in these cunts. We are so boring

A measure of how far our standards have fallen is that Considine is now our most consistent defender and one of our biggest attacking threats.

[ab24_5qh]

McGinn very poor.

 

Lewis refusing to play out from the back, even with players in acres of space.

 

Massive gap between defence and midfield, leaving little option other than long punts.

 

Overall, shite.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Reminds me of Ehhhh Smiffy’s last days. Thinking bottling it in Glasgow* and managing out 1-0 wins against shite is acceptable.

 

Aware Deek hasn’t completely thrown in the towel at least in one half of Glasgow but give it time. 7 days in fact...

[The Cockney Don]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas, hope the so called top boys on ere had a good day.

[Crossbow]

We have a team with little heart and confidence. Today’s performance was pitiful. That we came away with a win was good fortune not good tactics. Livi would have won that game three times out of five and beaten us 4-0 in one of them. It’s a funny game at times. The boos were deserved and in truth showed a degree of restraint. I blame McInnes.

[CalgaryDon]

Fantastic three points however we really miss Bryson and Ojo. The midfield really struggled today. Bartley was bossing us around and Lawless was superb for them. 

 

McGinn was atrocious. Main had no service. Gallagher isn't good enough for this league let alone Aberdeen. McLennan is really struggling at the moment. Why is Wilson not playing?!

 

Devlin has been our best player in recent matches. Considine has done well too although I'll be happy to see Mckenna back. I really like Vyner - much better than Logan. Apparently McKenna and Taylor should be back after the international break.

Wondered how long it would take before someone came out with the 'missing Ojo and Bryson' excuse. We were playing pish with them in the team and we were pish today.

[styrofoamplates]

First game I haven’t watched in ages. Couldn’t be arsed. Still cheered the result, but reading the reaction on here I’m glad I didn’t bother

[shut up meg]

You don't really need a midfield when you shell it 70 yards from the defence to the attack all the time.

[The Cockney Don]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS.

 

Must av been a good piss up for the PG's .

[redstrummer]

Half time interview with Simmie on the Alba program well worth a watch
