Don’t think that’s in any doubt. I think the doubt lies in how Qarabag's good performance was assisted by our own poor performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbrush1903 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Did we sugar coat the announcement of our assistant manger from 35 years ago to the board too? Unfortunately, Cormack seems intent of surrounding himself with 'Yes' men and all the better if they're his heroes from the far off distance past. This season hasn't ended (nor has our play off fears yet), nor have we even started our summer recruitment, but already I feel the darkened skies shifting towards Pittodrie readying to empty itself over season 2022/23. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you could say that. We were pish. But it’s a bit sad that your take from last night is to go back to august to talk about how shite we were. Season has been bad enough without actively seeking this stuff out. Each to their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night seems to have blown that nonsense out of the water. I said at Pittodrie, not all season. We also should have beaten Rangers at Pittodrie.

Game of throw-ins Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Not everybody bought the idea that Qarabag were the best team we would play this season. I disagreed on the relevant thread at the time, the obvious point being that both of the OF were ranked significantly higher. Qarabag's performance may or may not have been the best against us at Pittodrie this season, but I always thought the rankings were much more persuasive evidence than a subjective response to a one-off performance against a naive Aberdeen side. In particular we never got the chance to find out how they would perform against a team who could actually defend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think we've reason to moan given the paucity of success in the last 30 years...but a lot of the chaps on here seem detached from reality...or maybe they just strive greenie acceptance and don't express their true opinions. It's true that we shouldn't only express negative views but some on here never seem to think nothing is negative at all about Aberdeen, that everything we do is entirely logical even if it is the complete opposite of what they were saying a couple of days previously. I find that odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular we never got the chance to find out how they would perform against a team who could actually defend. This was similar to my thoughts too...and then I compared that performance to our performances in the two Glass matches against Sevco and felt frustrated at the Qarabag performance. I felt it was a missed opportunity. In fact, the whole season has been a missed opportunity. I'm sure we had a better squad that we've showed this season. I mean we were good enough to beat the future Europa League finalists on their own patch had we not had that intervention from the referee. It sometimes feels to me when I read this forum that we, as a support, are too ready to accept mediocrity or even worse to the extent that we find excuses to explain failure.

Exactly, my point is that we were capable of giving Qarabag a far sterner test. I felt that the opinion that Qarabag just played too well against us that we couldn't do much about it was unjustified. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moaning for moaning sake without suggesting anything practical or different achieves nothing and doesn't give someone moral superiority over other fans. Saying things like the board is full of yes men is fair enough but unless someone actually has inside information on the people concerned how are most fans supposed to know either way? It's one of those things that's easy to say but impossible to know whether it's true or not. Similar to saying players aren't trying or lack passion etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't bother naming them, they know who they are themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
