This pretty much sums up my feelings, although I pride myself in seeing things with a bit of perspective.
It really hit me yesterday when Celtic dropped points again, at home to Ross County. Cast iron proof that this was the year of opportunity, the year to really push them.
I don't want to accuse the team of bottling anything, I don't think it's fair and I think that rhetoric is tabloid noise. I actually think that in too many games this season we have been dragged into a battle. The type of battle that relies on marginal incidents deciding the game. We have won many games in that respect, where the game is decided on one mistake, one piece of brilliance etc etc. However, when you are dragged into a battle most weeks, inevitably there will be stumbles, mistakes. See Hearts, see Motherwell, See Caley, See October!
I am very proud of our current team, probably the most proud of any Aberdeen team in my memory. However, I agree with Mackiemyday that when we reflect on this season it will be one of regret, one of 'what if', one of 'will we ever see such an opportunity again'.
Very sad, but still proud of the team. COYR.
