Dundee home April 13th Match Thread

[Shetland Don]

What about this as a common-sense approach to attacking football - try and get a decent shot on target with most attacks unless there are better options trying to re-build the move using a different approach , eg, feeding the ball back and then trying the other flank or whatever whilst simultaneously retaining possession? Continually wasting balls, and seemingly not giving a flying f***, aside from being wasteful, is truly ignorant! Thelin is apparently a stickler for detail, so I assume that he’ll notice how few of our attacks come to anything!?

Same old, same old.

Another game nearer the end of the season - only positive there.

Pass marks for MacDonald. Great clearance off the line. No fück ups from Roos. The rest varied between ineffective & invisible (McGrath a particular highlight there).

Ryan Duncan? Nah. I just dont see it. Just not a footballer.

Devlin again showing he’s just not good enough for us. What the actual fück was he doing just before MacDonald cleared that one off the line - honest to god.

Duk started like a house on fire, got three of them booked, then totally vanished. I really just don’t get that lad.

Shinnie needs to wise up. The amount of stupid cards that guy picks up is ridiculous - today’s being a particular highlight. Honestly min, at your age you really should know better.

All that money spent & Dundee are clearly better then us. Lads like McCowan and Tiffony would walk into our team. Pretty damning.

Thelin has a helluva job sorting this shyte out. He will need time, but he’s actually got a track record of building teams and making more than the sum of their parts - exactly what we need in a manager - so we need to back him and give him a couple of seasons to sort it out.

Nae gaan next week, just like this season, it’ll be a pointless waste of everyone’s time …

I had the game on while painting our bedroom. At one point I was watching it drying in all patchy over the new plaster.
So it turns out watching paint dry was more fun

My biggest concern this season league wise is that I haven’t seen any team that has looked like a good team but the majority of them look better than us even when we have won in the odd occasion.

The whole set up at the club is wrong and it’s all down to Cormack. He got this independent review done from some German company where every one hoped would result in the likes of Gunn and others being removed but all it seems to have done is recommended bringing in a technical director to support the clowns already there.

I just get the feeling that as long as Cormack is running the show we are always going to be a circus act.

Thought McKenzie had another solid game. Roos did ****-up but fortunately VAR was working...he and Gartenmann, when faced with any type of physical contact, are like rabbits in the headlights. Hopefully Jack Milne will get a couple of games at CB in the next few weeks.

McKenzie was Ok. He still runs about like a puppy chasing a crisp packet in the wind, and has regular brain farts, but he doesn't tend to hide (unlike lots of them) and his attitude is always pretty good (also unlike lots of them).

He's not good enough to be first choice if we want to be where we expect to be though. Decent squad backup. Nothing more...

[NaeMairNeeps]

Aberdeen: Roos, Devlin, Gartenmann, MacDonald, MacKenzie, Barron, Clarkson, Shinnie, McGrath, Duk, Miovski.

Substitutes: Doohan, Jensen, McGarry, Phillips, Sokler, Polvara, Duncan, Milne, Hoilett.

[Don Julio]

Not bad from the Dons so far, albeit not turning pressure into goals. Gartenmann and McGrath having games to forget but otherwise pretty solid. Just need a bit of invention in the final third.

If Duk can start the second half like the first it’ll do him no end of good and probably see one of them sent off.

Ye jinxed it ye radge!


Our players are PROFESSIONALS are they not?
I've seen more f*cking desire and effort frae the amateurs at Shedocksley FFS.


We need a clean-oot frae tap tae bottom.

Duk is such a frustrating figure.
Three of their guys on cards early doors and he stops running at them. Always tries to be too clever when a simple pass or a cross will do. So frustrating knowing he is capable of better.

I'm not one of those who hate players, but Gartenmann infuriates me big time.
I really hope we aren't considering making him permanent.
I know we kept another clean sheet, but the guy annoys the f*ck out of me.
