Sorry, not having that. That's the defeatest attitude that has set our club back years/decades. Plenty other teams go to Parkhead and play, they pass the ball well and have a go, and yes, sometimes they even win, and I'm referring to the smaller clubs in the league here. Not our Dons. Beat before a ball is kicked. Willie Miller had it right on Sportsound when he said it seemed like a lot of the time as "same old"....whereas over on Red Tv, to say R. MacLean was overstating the positives is putting it mildly, imho. I got up on Sunday feeling hopeful that just maybe this new team would click superbly and we could head up the road with at least(!!) a point. It's sport, it happens!! I certainly didnt get up starin at ma naval, shakin ma heid lamenting the fact that we´re playing in the champions big bad stadium and it was already a lost cause. Sadly however by the end it was just a feeling of deflation that yet again we went to Glasgow and didnt lay a glove on them.

Well put. It is a sad reality nowadays that our club just accept these type of performances and unfortunately too much of our fan base accept getting beat from Celtic. It’s all that is wrong with Aberdeen FC…scared of the challenge.

Hopefully JG really is the man to finally end the awful malaise that has existed far too long at the club we all love. He talks tough and can clearly be mean...getting rid of AC was the right call imo. Lets see where we are after first round of matches.

That's your perogative to think that, but with the new players getting their first big test no way was I expecting anything less than a defeat and no I don't accept it, but we are starting this season at a very low point after years of regression with our squad. The league cup games were good pre season games for us, but no indication of how we will cope in the league.

I expect to see a better performance from the team the next time we play them at their place, by which time I expect us to have been moulded into something resembling a team.

If he does poor (Goodwin) in the first round of matches he will struggle to see out the season. Getting beat off Celtic the way we did was terrible but I fully expect us to win against any of the other teams we come up against. We cannot afford to sit off teams and let them dominate the ball. I am sure I heard Goodwin and some players talk about being a team who will dominate the ball, have a lot of energy and have plenty speed. We looked anything but at the weekend…so I don’t want to see the same mistake the rest of the season.

This time last year we had seen off some Euro trash, just beaten DU fairly easily 2-0 in first league game, and guess what, expectations went through the roof! I remember the SS guys debating how poor Utd had been in that game, their fans weren't happy at all, and it was going to be a long hard season for them with the jury very much out on their rookie new manager. Look how all that turned out. I see similarities already this season with some easy league cup games replacing some easy euro games and I'm reading predictions of 4-0, 3-0, 3-1 etc for Saturday. I didn't like the way Raith carved through us at times at Pittodrie at all. No easy games in this league, for us anyway. None.

No easy games in this league, for us anyway. None.

Last season we had two teams that outspent everyone else by a factor of at least ten plus they get every refereeing decision going. You then had a hertz team that were decent enough. After that you had nine teams, including us of various levels of utter dross, some marginally less dross than others.

The top two look at a pretty similar level this year (including debatable refereeing decisions no doubt), hertz have probably got a bit stronger but will struggle with the Thursday night/ Sunday afternoon cycle pre world cup break and will drop points accordingly.

Of the other nine, we look as though we should be quite a bit stronger and United have made some good signings but the rest look as though they will be at similar levels of utter dross as last season.

Based on that I will be severely disappointed if we don't have a number of comfortable victories starting on Saturday against St Mirren.

[RED_JOHN]

I asked Aberdeen to get Jim Goodwin to sign a top I bought…wonder if he will oblige.

If we don’t beat St.Mirren on Saturday will he get another free pass because it’s only the 2nd league match of the season?

The first round of league games he will need to bed in these new players. Hopefully they gel quickly and perform well from the off and progress as the season progresses

I just hope to flock we never have to sign so many players in one window ever again.
