Aberdeen v Rangers

[rico94]

Ah I missed Keskinen asking to come off. I’ll cut JT some more slack then, though nae the players.

Re handball and Scales that’s a different scenario. Laws state that



It was the correct decision. It’s the law that’s crap.

Well like you said it?s a stupid law.

If you touch the ball with your hand then it should be a foul in any situation then.

If the Nisbet goal is disallowed then we should have got a penalty against Celtic in the semi final last season.

As for today we can discuss the reasons all night why we didnt win but having watched the highlights the amount of chances we had we should have won that game comfortably.

Their keeper never even made a decent save it was down to bad finishing from us.

I've been feeling a bit sick ever since the whistle, but I do think some of the reaction has been pretty harsh (although if the board had been working earlier I would probably have joined in!)

It was bad, no doubt. Both goals but particularly the last goal should not have been allowed to happen against a team of 10 men. These are basic failings; but we should have been out of sight. Folk are complaining about the subs but, even with the team at the end, we needed to be more clinical. That Nisbet miss was pretty bad but not the only one.

I didn't even celebrate Nisbet's finish - I just knew they'd find a reason to cancel it.

Yeah I was exactly same, it was obvious they would be desperate to find way to rule it out.

Absolutely. We had plenty of opportunities to make the game safe but poor choices and finishing kept them in the game. Also didn't realise Keskinen wanted off. Hope jimmy doesn't play Nisbet Sokler and Dabbagh in the same team again...

We should have been 4 up at half time
and we were punished for our inability to convert those chances, retain possession against 10 men and defend properly.
Most other teams would have seen a 2 0 out against 10 men but not us .
A third goal would have been enough because I don't think they had 3 goals in them.
I think if shady's turn and shot had been cut back 1m then papa would have stroked it home.
Realistically I think 3rd has gone and I'm glad it's the tarts we play in semi final given their city rivals current form
The positives were we played some really good football and created a lot of chances.
At least didn't lose and we can now concentrate on our hampden adventure next weekend

Still a choker to have dropped two points yesterday.

I can't be too critical, we played well overall and quite sure Jimmy knows he f*cked up subs/formations too.
The most horrible part of it all, besides the dropped points, was the wee fud Ferguson lapping up a draw after he had been found wanting again. I can hardly name one Rangers player, outwith the dog botherer, but I detest the c*nts that make up their deadco lower league management team.

How far out of the picture is Polvara if he isn't getting game time? Him on for Ante would have been the logical sub at that point and kept our shape at the back, which was key. Jensen for me should only be at LB if nobody else available. Could have swapped Jensen for Ante and Devlin at RB.

Read some 'fan' online saying Goodwin or Robinson would have saw the game out and wants Jimmy punted!

We would never have played the way we did for most of the game under a Goodwin or Robinson and we did play superbly in the first half and weren't as bad as some seem to think we were in the second half. We have to trust we can get some more quality into the squad to make the required changes.

Keep the faith folks.

Goodwin wouldve saw the game out? Like he did when they were 2-0 against us a few weeks ago?

Yes either of these seemed more ‘logical’ to me too, guess he wanted Shinnies drive in there as we were increasingly passive that second half. Yet ironically Shinnie/Clarkson just isn’t as effective as Palaversa/Clarkson IMO as well as the aforementioned unnecessary mucking about at the back.

I’ve not saw mention of Mackenzie anywhere BTW - was he injured or just dropped altogether?

Given how JT seems to like to include everyone (unlike the likes of Goodwin who seemed to ice certain players) it is odd how little time Polvara has had. I don’t think he’s even come off the bench since he’s been fit again? He’s barely played under JT at all.

I only just learned that Dante is only a couple months younger than Palaversa, yet I think of him as a young player and Palaversa as an experienced one. Didn’t realise Palaversa only turned 25 last week. Thought he was a few years older than that.

We drew the game yesterday down to poor substitutions from Thelin. Devlin was a terrible substitution and yet again had a big failing in their equaliser. His positional sense playing Dessers a mile onside was ridiculous and leaving Hagi with acres of space to get a shot away is unforgivable.
It was working very well with Shinnie on the left and Jensen on the right….he needs to stop making substitutions for the sake of it.
Taking Keskinen off was really poor and you could debate the removal of Morris who spooks full backs with his speed.
It was a bad day at the office for Jimmy after a good start. Matches are played for the 90 odd minutes so don’t give any other teams from now on an opportunity to take anything again.

I thought we played well yesterday as well.First half obviously a lot better than the second.

I was annoyed when we were leaving the stadium and the guy walking behind us said we got what we deserved because we were terrible.

I kept my mouth shut because everyone is entitled to their opinion and all of that sort of crap.
