Match Thread Aberdeen 1 - 2 Livingston

[Big Hat Logan]

Watched the keeper punch vinnie in the face again, incredible stuff.

[aberdeen1970]

Worst bit yesterday was the entire stadium (and most of the team) having absolutely zero faith in us getting back in it when Livingston scored the opener.  Everyone knew we were fucked, you could feel it spread through the stadium. Only a third of the way through the game as well. 

Hardly anyone in the team really tried to take the game by the scruff of the neck and drag ourselves back into it in the way you would really want them to.

So if he’s with his son who supports Celtic what is he supposed to do. Tell him to fuck off as he’s now Aberdeen manager and can’t take him to Celtic games

Aye. Either that or bring his kid up better 

[aberdeen1970]

Takes his loon to the fitba and gets to watch the opposition at the same time. If he had his assistant manager with him nobody would bat an eyelid. 

I really don't see the issue here.

I know, imagine not thinking he may one day manage Aberdeen so better make sure his son doesn’t support a team in Scotland that isn’t Aberdeen.

No fire or passion whatsoever. A tangible sense of apathy.

If there was a brawl in the dressing room afterwards, why can't they use that anger on the pitch.

“Ramsay and Ramirez have been shite, they need dropped”

Goodwin drops them

”fucking Goodwin is to blame for for that loss for dropping our £4million defender and top scorer”

??‍♂️

You know there's more than one fan, yeah?

So the ones saying to drop him won't be the same ones lamenting him for doing so?

Honestly, you're so basic and it's why I don't engage with you

Celtic and Rangers in the bottom 6, mental.

A return of the defensive striker role for Watkins behind Ramirez might be the best bet here. 

Watkins' running and link up play is decent and it frees up Ramirez in the way many on here would like. 

Jonny and Besuijen as wide men in a 4231.  I think that's probably the best 11 we could put out just now, despite there still being some obvious flaws in the resulting 11.  Lucky we have such a strong squad eh? 

                         

                           Lewis 

Ramsay Gallagher McCrorie MacKenzie 

                   Barron. Ferguson 

Besuijen.         Watkins.          Hayes 

                          Ramirez 

Not convinced we will see Watkins again this season, Goodwin also seems to have a massive hardon for Ojo so can see him replacing McCrorie v Dundee.

When they scored their penalty, people flooded out. This is after 70 minutes, at home, against Livi, at only 2-0 down....even when Ferguson scored his pen, barely any reaction and some left around me. The biggest cheer was for 5 minutes added time, but even then that was a damp squib.

It's the first time I've ever left a game early.  Left just before McCrorie got sent off. 

The weird Arctic weather capsule in the south stand didn't help mind you.  Would probably have stuck it out otherwise

Lol there’s been countless worse games than yesterday, almost the entire McGhee season for starters.

That’s the great support we have who “deserve” better.

Livi penalty should have been retaken. Player does a dummy kick in run up which refs are meant to penalise penalty takers for now. Been a few refs lately that have booked players for this & made them retake penalties. Not our great Scottish refs though. Irrelevant to game/result most likely but another example of shite referees in our league.

He booked a player for getting smashed in the face, he’s not going to suddenly become competent.

[Big Hat Logan]

Also, McRorie should have seen red instead of that first yellow.

Was very peculiar. Glorious sunny day, warm no wind walking down Merkland Road. However the south stand is windy as fuck and a good few degrees colder. How does that work?

Fuck knows min it was like being in a wind tunnel. 

Half time popped out behind the south stand and everyone was sunbathing! 

[Stoneybloke]

Goodwin says in an interview that there is a lack of confidence in the squad. How has it taken so long for him to spot that.

He needs to get a psychologist in

[CCB III]

Who would we be backing in a scrap? Bates or Ferguson? 
 

Personally hoping Bates lamped the little fuck. 
 

David doesn't strike me as a fighter tho!

[Bomber]

My biggest problem with Goodwin is he's tried to do the right thing by the players and told them who he's keeping and who's going at the end of the season and he's not getting the same honesty back from the players.

Maybe is... he's got a Norman haircut. 

Great fighters, the Normans.

Do you know how close we are now to finishing behind McGhee’s tally?

And his squad and budget was terrifying.

We are shite. Sell/get rid of everyone. That's basically it from me.

For once I agree. On both counts.

Who’s budget? McGhee’s?

Not defending him one iota but I thought his budget was slashed from under him when Satanta went tits up? The fact that he spunked it on Jerol Ifol and then a clearly finished Paul Hartley was his added undoing.

Its clear Goodwin is pissing with the cock of Glass but I expected a much better points haul than this.

Yeah because the argument was “where would we be without his goals”. We’d have another striker instead of him. You weirdos need to stop replying to everything I post and banging on about Ramirez.

Someone else might've scored if Jenks hadn't.

Yup that’s how football works. I was replying to a post calling him useless showing he does have some use.

I too find it weird he hasn't been used more, especially in that county game.
