The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23

[Raidernation]

I was referring more to the various infamous “singing” incidents both cheeks are guilty of

That's certainly the way it came across. And it was "fan" not "fans".

I’m not sure what other way it could come across. And yes, you are right, the possessive form is “fan’s”, sorry I missed out an apostrophe.

I’m not really comparing the incidents though, I’m more contesting the assumption that it would get swept under the carpet if it were Rangers fans.

The unfortunate commonality is that the same player appears to have suffered racial abuse - but I’m not trying to equate the Aberdeen fans actions with the Rangers fans actions, if that’s what you mean.

Sorry, misread your reply, I thought you had said “That’s certainly not the way it came across”

My bad

Aye, away and sit in the corner with the dunce's cap on!

She briefly points at the side of eyes and  I don't think she's making the same gesture that the morons in our support did, I think it's part of a private conversation. 

When I heard the outcry, I thought that she was going full father Ted.

Am I missing something here? Have all your home games in the league this season not been 10k+ (save the opening day where restrictions were still in place)?

Seems weird that both fixtures are Saturday 3pm kick offs yet:

Quote

"Around 65% of season ticket members are predicted at these games. This is largely due to those not ready to come back and those choosing instead to use their Virtual Season Ticket. Even with sufficient matchday tickets available and an 800 allocation for away support, as well as the game being shown live in the UK on a PPV basis, the expected crowd will be under the 10,000 threshold and therefore not subject to the proof of vaccine scheme."

It's a pretty significant drop off from say 13k vs St Johnstone to sub 10k against Hibs and Hearts.

Aye, I mean that seems fairly obvious but going with a line that's as easily disprovable ie: based on your recorded home attendances to date there's been f**k all drop-off, it's a weird approach to take.

Actually, I see they've extrapolated on this per @craigkillie's Tweet popping up on my TL it seems Aberdeen are claiming they announce "tickets issued" rather than actual attendance.

I think we can still talk about getting rid of Glass.

 

I seem to recall that this didn't end well either.

The B team's cup run came to end away to Accies, where Campbell's first half red card scuppered the chances, and with Brora and Arbroath's mannies having been despatched in previous rounds.

Nevertheless listening to Robson on Red TV and looking at the record of his sides - there seems to be a lot more organisation and resilience at that level than we are seeing in the first team at this time.

Begs the question - do we have an ready-made answer to helping address some of the obvious problems right now within the current coaching setup?

No. It's probably a lot easier to intimidate 19 year olds in to doing what they're told.

It's unusual to replace like for like after a sacking, therefore replacing managerial inexperience with managerial inexperience. Usually the manager's perceived weakness is replaced with the opposite.

Just looking at our results this season in the league, really only Motherwell away and St Johnstone at home as offered a glimpse of real relegation candidates. Obviously, we need to stem the tide of these negative results or the confidence will seep away, but, for the moment, I still believe Glass can turn this situation around.

He can turn it around but he'll need to look at what he does with the defence. I've obviously got no where near the level of qualifications he has but to me it could be as simple as MacKenzie tucking in when Ramsay goes forward. Leaves a three at the back with the RW moving inside(Hedges/Watkins) for Ramsay to use the width. Brown sat in front of the back three. Essentially what Celtic were good at when Tierney bombed on at LB and Lustig tucked in.
