    If they haven't condemned the shocking goings on, then it makes strict liability all the easier to apply. Suggestions also of sectarianism but I don't suppose anybody is too keen to investigate that. 

    “Suggestions”? Lol

    For two clubs who love a statement, I was also thinking they had been rather quiet this week

    They won’t make a statement about how rotten to the core both clubs are. 

    Rangers: really sorry about the pitch invasion and the assaults on the police and Celtic coach and the incessant sectarian singing….. but Celtic started it.

    Celtic: sorry about the mini pitch invasion, the rushing of the turnstiles, the vandalism and the tagging of 66 all over Ibrox….. but Rangers started it.

    its just boring whataboutery all the time and anyone with a brain knows it. Dock the 2 of them points  and make them play in an empty stadium for 6 months. That’ll fk them both off!!

    starting on Saturday please.

  3. I know if Jens was to go and we appoint someone like Robinson I’d be annoyed. It’s worse than an underwhelming appointment.

    now add that to the mix of Aberdeens self worth and view of their own importance and I’d imagine there will be a mass of rage in the north east community.

    as someone who isn’t too keen on Aberdeen or St Mirren…. It’s an appointment I’m very much enjoying

    On another note it seems individuals  following Celtic barged through security checks at Ibrox. Not for the first time. They cannot be trusted and one day will cause a major incident. The authorities need to act before its to late..

     

    This to me is the troubling thing about it, we’ve had this at fir park with Celtic before and it was definitely the case at that last game at home v Rangers, they clearly had 100s of extra fans in there as they took over the stairwells. I know it is difficult to control these hoards of fans but it’s an accident waiting to happen. Something needs done about it.

    Mibbe a daft question, but were they only ever supposed to be on sale to season ticket holders, or did they change it to that a few days ago?

    I think as long as you are on the “system” and confirmed as a fan, then it doesn’t matter and they’ll sell you a ticket. I do recall it was always first dibs to season ticket holders but I dont think that’s the case now

    Apart from the Dundee game on Saturday which I predicted us to win 3-0? Or did you just ignore that one as it didn’t suit your narrative?

    Yes I am very much a Motherwell fan, a diehard I’d even go so far as to say. I rarely, if ever miss a home match.

    I don’t know how you can deduce from my posts that I am a Rangers fan as I don’t think I’ve said much in the way of anything positive about them, apart from finding them less repulsive and dislikable than Celtic but of course to many people in this part of the world saying that does somehow translate to being pro-Rangers. Especially to people who are obsessed by and consumed with their hatred of Rangers, like you. :)

    Ok 👍

    back to the match on hand. Great to see us sellout our 750 tickets on Saturday.

    A lot of people are interested in what went on yesterday. Like it or not the Old Firm generates a lot of interest.

    But you’re right, this thread isn’t really the place for this discussion.

    As for Saturday, we will lose, nothing surer.

    I don’t want to poke a bear (literally) but are you a Motherwell fan? Have you ever attended a Motherwell match?

    im pretty sure every single post I’ve seen from you is suggesting we’ll lose whatever game we are playing? I may be totally wrong and I’m sorry if I have the wrong end of the stick but it just seems you are a rangers fan trolling us? Which again…. Is fine but just a bit odd

  8. Did Rangers fans not jump onto the park when Fernandez slam dunked it into the Celtic net?

    anyway, the whole whataboutery is pathetic and really has hee haw to do with us.  I just found the whole thing totally distasteful…… and I know I shouldn’t…quite funny!! Both support highlighted for what the are….. an embarrassment 

    on to Saturday now and watching Celtic yesterday, we should have nothing to fear…. They really aren’t that good

  9. Because this was Scottish cup would it play a part in them being fined/docked points etc for the league? I can’t see them docked anything as I think it’ll be a fine but there could be the possibility of their next game being behind closed doors? Who knows!!

  10. Both will get fined a small amount and it’ll blow over after a lot of finger pointing as usual. Rangers may get a bigger fine as one of their fat fans wobbled on and had a pop at a Celtic official but sadly… that will be it. Rangers will blame the schools system and things will role on to the next poisonous encounter.

    my main take from that game was Celtic made almost zero chances in 120 mins and their injury position looks bad so this bears well for Saturday.

    Dunfermline 3-0 up v dons,   at least OX still got chance of Scottish cup success

    I’m just glad we weren’t playing Dunfermline today. 
    Thats a shocker for Aberdeen though, to have the 3rd biggest wages bill in Scotland and getting thumped by a championship team is not acceptable.

    I never thought we'd finish in the top 3 and today's result hasn't changed my mind. There's still a lot to play for as 4th place is by no means guaranteed. I felt that, going into today's game, we  needed to keep our feet on the ground. That result today will help and temper the expectations of many. 

    If there was any doubt about our lack of bottle and ruthlessness then Dundee have removed that. It will prove to be a valuable lesson going forward. 

    We're having a fantastic season, but still have shortcomings that need rectified  

    It’ll be really interesting how we recover from this today in next weeks game. I’m hoping to see some real determination at Celtic park and I hope that defeat today hurts the players and hurts Askou

    Poor performance. Did we have a shot at goal apart from free kicks? To be honest you could have subbed anyone today. Maybe some of them like Maswhansie and Just believing the press hype that appeared this week with talk of big moves. I am afraid that Dundee wanted it more and thoroughly deserved the win. That's three times we have bottled it when it really mattered. Twice in the cups and then today. Had to feel for Priestman. Comes on as a sub and then gets subbed. Especially when Just was screaming to be subbed today

    I actually thought Priestman played well when he came on. 

  14. I didnt have a good feeling about this today and it proved correct.

    That’s probably the worst we’ve played this season and i felt similar last week that we didn’t really look like scoring from open play

    ok we have loads of possession and look tidy but Dundee just seemed stronger today. Really disappointing. Best we can hope for now is 4th and to cause a bit of trouble to the top 3.

    Good interview with Mark Reynolds - still a big fan of his boyhood team.

     

    Always felt there was a degree of animosity towards Reynolds from a selection of Motherwell fans that I never understood.
    Always rated him as a player and it was broad knowledge he was a Motherwell fan, as was his family. Pretty sure he went to our ladys school.

    He was pretty vague last week, but I think he said Johnny K would be available again "in the spring".

    Yeah I think that’s right but we are in spring now and it lasts until the end of May. 
    feasibly he could be out for the rest of the season. 

  17. I’ve run out of positives for this guy. He’s the only manager I have ever listened to, for the whole press conference. There’s always something in each response to a question I find interesting.

    only negative out of that was it sounds like Koutroumbis will be out longer than I expected. I thought he was playing really well and is excellent cover at left and right back. He’ll be needed for the run in.

    I'd wager £20-30M for a 12,000 seat stadium but I'm no expert. 

    I looked about small stadiums in Europe and I think around £20m is the cost. I’d hate a Lego style stadium like St Mirren or St Johnstone. If we did get a new stadium I’d like it to look a bit unique.

    the stadium of Nijmegen is a 12000 seater and is the sort of style I’d like and the stadium of  stade de la maladier in Switzerland is a belter, that’s a 12000 seater and was £20m to build.

    id prefer to stay at fir park but unless we knock down the main stand and start again. I can’t see the stadium lasting another 10yrs or so as financially I think that main stand is a money pit for maintenance.

     

  19. this game imo is up there with the most important of the season. It’s the game in hand we really need to win. 
    3 points will put us 1 behind the h#ns and potentially ahead of Celtic if they don’t win midweek. Even if they do beat Aberdeen it still keeps us really close.

    ive not bought a ticket yet but I will. We need a good support up there. 
    it’s only Sunday and I feel quite nervous about it….. I’m too old for this carry on
