From the 70th minute onwards I knew we were going to lose 3-2, but even I could barely believe we achieved that despite leading 2-1 with only 2 minutes to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 1 hour ago, Leith Green said: Some Dons fans slagging off the subs there by Goodwin - fair enough, but Stewart and Roos were the major culprits in conceding those last 2 goals. Not sure that the manager can take the full rap for such pathetic defending. We are terrible at defending our own box. This has been evident all season, and yet we set up for a good half an hour in a way that meant we’d need to defend our own box constantly. Goodwin said post match ‘we just need to defend our box better and not panic’. True, but we have personnel in there that time and time again have shown they will crumble and make mistakes under enough pressure. A good defence is likely to concede chances when you sit that deep, never mind ours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 That is a hard one to take which we played very well in the second half until the subs which I hope Duk was injured. That game reminded me of Killie in the Scottish Cup when we scored in the 119th and 120th minute - sickner when it happens for you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big injury time is going to be in vogue after the World Cup. Until someone realises it's completely stupid. Which coincidentally will probably be only when it affects one of the Old Firm with them losing a significant 90+8mins goal. Descriptions of Goodwin here sound exactly like Alan Archibald, who had no idea how to see a game out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I'd a weird dream that we won the game last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 The complaints regarding injury time seem odd considering the stoppages in the match. There were 8 substitutions across 3 stoppages, an Aberdeen goal and resulting celebrations, a rammy in the middle of the park that took a while to sort out, the relevant VAR checks and the treatment for Aberdeen players (their keeper feigning for non-existent contact being the main culprit). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 As a televisual viewer of last night’s debacle and not a frequent Sky viewer, I’m amazed that Andy Walker is still , still, paid money to comment on a game that he clearly can’t understand in the most irritating nasal whiny voice imaginable, because he was once good at kicking a ball. I’d be amazed if he can tie his own laces. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik's tongue Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 My biggest takeaway from last night, apart from a curry, was that I can’t wait to play these talentless twats on January 2nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) I don't think we can complain too much about the additional injury time and to be honest we only have ourselves to blame for the defending. Richardson and Stewart wouldn't look out of place in Sunday league football with the defending on show last night. Both the first and third goals looked suspect for handball. Teddy Jenks would be proud with that control technique. Edited December 21, 2022 by HarleyQuinn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy Jenks would be proud with that control technique. Using still pictures in the context of a handball claim is meaningless. For example, the one of Goldson, the ball is already moving away from his body, long after there was any chest/arm contact so it tells us very little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert on the handball rule however for the first goal Sakala unintentional controls the ball with his hand. There's no doubt about it. Goldson's is harder to tell as you are right the ball is already moving away from his body however his hand still alters the course of the ball towards Arfield. The second maybe not a handball but the first goal is a definite handball and imo shouldn't have stood. It reminds me of Teddy Jenks goal for us against St Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) Watched the highlights after hearing about how mad this game was. Some bottle job by the dons. Saying that, they were about 8 mins away from getting 4 points v the top 2 sides. Small margains and all that...

I’m not convinced that either of those were definitely handball, possibly just with the angles I’ve seen, although Tavernier hitting the ball against his own post with his arm certainly was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll rephrase then - feigning injury after minimal contact with the post. Nobody is telling me he needed that length of treatment for what appeared to be very little. But, it ultimately worked in our favour, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renfrewblue Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I think this games proves 2 things. Aberdeen are far better going forward than sitting in. They scored 2 crackers but missed at least 3 easier chances. Rangers are still pish at the back. Young Devine is definitely not going to be good enough for the OF game but we are improving. Unless Celtic suddenly have a form dip we are going to be struggling against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
