I got around to watching the game again. I think Chamberlains crunch on Just was a booking although I have seen reds given. I don’t think it was intentional and it wasn’t as bad as Gogic on Slattery which also resulted in a booking so fair enough.
Maeda should have got at least a booking for the arm to face on said. The boot in the baws afterwards definitely merited that in its own right.
I think JTs penalty claim is a penalty…. It’s a push in the back and if JT stumbled and goes to ground like a normal human being I think it’s given….. unfortunately he does what appears to be a star jump and makes the whole thing look ridiculous and I can understand why they’ve not given it.the penalty was unfortunately a penalty. I’d have been screaming for that if it was at our end. The double jeopardy stuff is beyond me though and beyond the referees as well…. God knows what the bar is with that.

Not sure if any of you watched that eye bleeder yesterday St Mirren v Rangers (honestly one of the worst games I’ve seen in years) but Allan Campbell played most of the match and that boy has went so far back it’s criminal. By the second half when he collected the ball he was getting booed by his own fans (no surprise the booing and St Mirren, they are excellent booers)
I felt for the boy, he’s certainly no where near the player we had. Seems to have lost every shred of confidence he had.

Just was the best player on the park…. By a distance

Cos it was our game in hand which if we'd won would put us right in the mix for a title challenge, the media had actually started taking us seriously, and we instantly lost to a Dundee team, that while improving, hadn't won in their last 3 home matches, including Livingston.
I’m still annoyed by the Dundee game, much more so than that yesterday. If we’d have played with the same attitude against Dundee as we did yesterday we’d be sitting on 56 points and miles clear of Hibs.

I’d like to see the big man get a start up front soon but we’d need actually play his strengths & give teams something different to think about
I’d agree, I’ve not seen too much in him yet but I do think we need to mix it up a little. I’d move Maswanhise wide and have him play off the big man. As much as I love wee Said I think he’s been off it for a few weeks, he might have a stronger impact coming on as sub.
certainly nothing to get worked up about, the football is still good to watch and there’s 8 great games left to the season. Let’s face it, even the happiest of clappers couldn’t have predicted we’d be in this position when we played Twente in pre season.
-
Don’t have any arguments with that today. I thought we did fine and played really good stuff at times and infact i felt we were having the upper hand at the time of the penalty/sending off. After that it was damage management.
Nothing to get too disheartened about, the next 2 home games are the more crucial ones. We need to stay in 4th and try and cause a bit of mayhem in the top 6.

Halliday as the emergency left back cover I see

Looks like McGregor is out for Saturday. As much as he’s a bit past it he’s still important to them so I hope we can dominate the midfield. I’d like Tierney out as well as he’s been one of their better performers of late.
Fadinger is fit as well which is brilliant news but the “he took a bump on his nose” comment about why he came off last week is a wee bit strange. I’m hoping it was a wee bit sorer than a bump on the nose? These Austrians sound saft 🤣
also RCC out again for a few weeks, I’m finding it hard to warm to this guy.
Anyway… As much as last weeks result deflated me, I have a second wind of enthusiasm. A narrow win for the good guys.

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.

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

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

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!!
-
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.

2 groups of sub humans. It’ll now be a 2 week borefest of whataboutery from both sets…… a bit like MJC’s post above.

Still too early after yesterday’s deflation
I’ll revisit this thread on Thursday night

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.
-
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.

that was a brilliant insight into the team, season and club in general. I thoroughly enjoyed that.
He never fails to impress me.
for a guy to be able to speak in this way and come over so clearly when English isn’t his first language is utterly incredible.
and Jens was quite good too (joke)
