Aberdeen are significantly better than we are and they are on a great run of form, winning their last four and reaching a Cup Final. They are defensively very sound and know how to grind out results, whilst we on the other hand don't have goals in us and have just turned in a defensive disaster show conceding seven goals in the process.

Aberdeen will beat us, as will Celtic and as will Hearts, nothing surer.

Agree with all of the above but IMO the one glaring fact is McHugh has been and always will be an accident waiting to happen.He makes a tackle he doesn’t need to argues with the ref gets booked with in less than 30 seconds he has another totally stupid challenge gets away with it but should have been booked for 2nd time and off, wether his hand ball? was harsh he was always going to be off. They then score penalty and third goal within a minute. Our heads go down just a few minutes after getting back into the game at 1-1 thereafter they tear us apart with playing high tempo football and width causing us all sorts of problems. I personally don’t want the manager or players coming out in the media saying how sorry, disappointed they are for the performance and how they can’t wait for the next game and that they will be right up for the game, Talk and words are cheap, prove you are hurting as much as us fans by letting their football do the only talking

It's annoying how Carl gets himself into trouble in unnecessary situations - right or wrong, it wouldn't be so bad if he was 'taking one for the team', and bringing someone down when our goal is in danger, but he often gets penalised when there's little threat and where a foul tackle is pointless. It's happened too often.
