Match Thread St Johnstone 1 - 0 Aberdeen

[winchester83]

Goodwin wants to be popular with everybody joking with Saint Johnstone manager before the end Fergie would’ve been putting the nut in him.

How many times do we go from a decent attacking position to all the way back to defence. Does my nut in ?

They have no idea what to do in the final third. Our wide players don’t seem to have the confidence to go past players. 

[AyrshireSheep]

This all roots back to Cormack. Every single fucking bit of it. The sooner he fucks off the better. And i don't really want to hear the "but who will fund the club". FFS there will be plenty of people who would want to buy the club. Just get tipex teeth out the fucking door rip the whole club apart from top to bottom and start again. Under Cormack we are going absolutely fucking nowhere. I get he has piled in cash. But he could have done that whilst taking a back seat and realising his expertise isn't in running football clubs. Football clubs and software companies are different animals. His ego has well and truly fucked us. I reckon we are probably 3 years away from having any sort of team that right now could challenge for anything. Absolutely shocking leadership.

Fergie was always cuddling into the Hun managers and the likes of Jardine and Macdonald at Hearts. Stop talking shite.

[wee jock poo-pong mcplop1]

Thank fuck for that penalty against Dundee!

[Chester Don]

Look we have to stop using the line that this is not Goodwins team, while true when you are recruiting and paying compensation for a new manager you have every right to expect a positive impact on those players that are already there.

I would also like to hear from those purported to be our players, where is your drive and sincerity  to come out and humbly apologise for the dross you have been serving up all season.  
We have serious issues in the club right now, and it seems at all levels and genuinely, and sadly I cannot see any light at the end of the tunnel.

There’s actually not a team to work with here - that’s one of the big problems. Huge gamble taking in “5 or 6” players to this group. Best bet here is to promote the entire youth team and build players into that squad. At least we’d know there’s a cohesive team to work with.

Yup. No idea how we’ve stayed up. 

Just shows how bad St Johnstone and Dundee are that they've finished below us. The Saints have even beaten us twice and Dundee beat us once too.

If Goodwin seriously thinks that 5 or 6 new players is enough then we could well be in a relegation fight again next season.

We need a total clearout.

[aberdeen1970]

Pretty pointless complaining about tonight. The damage was already done a long time ago. Was a totally predictable single goal defeat. 

Half that team won't be here next season so they're not giving a fuck at this stage.  And the rest are wanting to see the back of this season, it's been a fucking shambles all round.

Stephen Glass got us enough points. 

Which wasn’t good enough either. I also don’t give that man much credit considering that transfer window last summer. Worst in my lifetime.

Very informative but shite if he was speaking to anybody he was winding them up after stuffing them unlike the present incumbent who has managed to secure tenth spot.

Not strictly true. Out of the team that started tonight only Ruth and Montgomery definitely won’t be here next season.

There's worrying signs, particularly that Goodwin hasn't managed to instill ANY fight in this team. 

A team can be shite, like St J, but with a little motivation they can play above themselves. We've never looked like we're actually trying to win a game under Goodwin. 

Again, no point judging Goodwin yet, not a single player out there is his, but Christ... Craig Broon teams played with more fire than these cunts. 

Telling most of them to fuck off within a month of taking the job removed any fight they had which was almost fuck all to start with.

I fear he is out of his depth also.

[North_Andy_Dandy]

What a pile of shite that was.

But did I expect anything else with tonight’s team?? Far too young a team with no grit about them. Decision making so poor, we need real intelligence on the pitch. 

I’ll wait to next season before I judge Goodwin purely on the fact that he has been left with the worst and most inexperienced squad we’ve had in years. 

Ojo playing the whole season at right back epitomises how bad this squad is and how poor the recruitment has been.

Roll on 2pm on Sunday.

[Forever Red]

I dread to think how many proper shots we've had on target since xmas - struggling to think of many times opposition keeper has had to make some decent saves. Clark had none tonight of any note

[1983]

I reckon the only way we could attract a decent player now is with a renowned manager. I don’t even think money will help much - this club is currently a reputation fucker

I think a fair few will be away or out of the first team by August.

For sure. We always bring out the worst in any decent player we get.... Cormack should cut his losses wi goodwin and recruit a decent manager because tbh we are relegation fodder next season. 

[KidCreole]

Fuck sake boys I thought I was pessimistic, A few good quality players in and McCrorie Vinny and the other young players will play with confidence again and we will be back to getting pumped by the old firm bottling cup semis and getting raped in Europe while finishing 3rd on goal difference in no time 

[JumboJET]

Cormack gets five more appointments before his card is permanently marked.

Not off to a good start Mr (Dave) Cormack!

Aye Kid, and there's me also forgetting that Willie Garner has joined the Board.

Has it been confirmed Ojo is away?

[Durrant Dived]

The only way I'd find tonights performance acceptable is if Goodwin came out and said we wanted to chuck the game to fuck McGhee over.

He is 100% out of his depth.

if he is here all season next season we WILL be relegated.

He said in the press conference that there were still a lot of incentives tonight. Playing for prize money, pride, to show him what they have for next season, to show other clubs what some of the dross are worth. But it was also a chance for a Goodwin himself to show something. Absolutely zero. Rancid shite. 
Yes, we will all judge him fully next season but things could turn very very bad very very quickly. There has been zero evidence to the contrary. It has simply been that bad that it cannot be ignored. Crown described them as workmanlike in commentary. Work shy more like. Zero respect shown to Goodwin by almost all of them. Only Hayes and Barron seem to have any real pride.

Things could turn really bad?

What, as if to say they are any good at the moment? ?

Nope, me neither. In my humble opinion the board need to be asking serious questions of themselves in the next couple of weeks, hopefully they'll reach the conclusion they chose the wrong guy...again. The league cup group stage has disaster written all over it. Change now, avoid more pain down the line.

Im not sure if someone was on wind up as I missed first half but Rob Mclean seemingly said we may be looking to extended the Montgomery loan which alone should be a sackable offence. 

[scottymc]

Genuinely think we need to just forget these last couple of games. They are totally pointless.

I will 100% be judging Goodwin by Xmas. If he starts the new season shit having recruited shite then he will get it tight just like Glass did .

He was sliding about tonight like Will Ferrell in blades of glory. 

As per usual, he did fuck all of note (apart from the sliding). 
 

“Vinny” was pish as well, he’s regressing faster than Benjamin Button.
