I couldn't handle an early primary school debate of "no, you are" type responses so saving the forum from that

Eh, ok.

Enough of the collective nonsense, the goal was 100% Bates's fault. The more I see it the worse it looks.

It wasn't. MacKenzie miscontrols a simple ball putting it straight out for a throw in. Which Celtic take quickly as MacKenzie is now out of position allowing their player yards of free space to fire in the cross.

Bates then admittedly makes a cunt of dealing with the cross.

But the root cause was MacKenzie

when referencing the 2nd goal lost, not the first

Aye, the 2nd goal & I agree.

He was sleeping & showed no defensive awareness in sensing danger. 

The first goal he was the proximate cause too.

No blame on the ball to him and no blame for the zero help he received with a 2 v 1, excellent stuff.

[Parklife]

To blame for the first goal, in order of culpability: 

1. Bates 

2. McCrorie 

3. MacKenzie 

Blaming MacKenzie chiefly doesn't tally with how I saw it at all.

Bates and Woods for me. (The Woods experiment has to end, utter dog shit)

Throwing Mackenzie under the bus was piss poor from Glass.

Assume you don't like MacKenzie. 

Have spied a few digs from you directed his way. 

[RUL]

I think if Bates heads the ball, as he should, they don't score. It was a great cross into a dangerous area, Woods is crap but not sure what else he could have done.

Woods was flatfooted, throughout the game his positioning was terrible.

I don't think he's as good as many here think. As a left back he's got enough about himself to make himself a career in Scotland, not convinced that he'll still be with us beyond his current contract but shouldn't have much difficulty in getting a gig somewhere. 

He certainly isn't good enough to play in midfield though

Can't really argue with that, but it is progression and if we can unlock the creative movement and pass then the job will be very much a good-un.

JET has that vision but lacks the workrate. Hedges has that capability but has been injured / ill. Watkins provide a great link up and could be a good foil for Ramirez, but is injured.

Our goals have come primarily from set plays, so if we get these guys back and more effective then it should see an upturn in our results

Hopefully !

Aberdeen seemed to be a place to go for promising EPL players to develop there careers. If you were a Maddison or Ward would you consider a move to Pittodrie, not a chance. The word is out about Glass and his shitshow backroom team.
