The Famous Aberdeen’s European Tour 2023/24

Almost certainly some outcome bias at play, but taking off Barron was a howler from Robson. He had got it spot on up until that point, too. Polvara was clearly tiring and Duk for Miovski was a straight swap, so I was fine enough with those two, but there seemed no logical reason nor need to hook Barron. The shape, which up until 70 minutes had been broadly excellent, crumbled without him.

Looked like Hayes was playing centre mid too?

How. Did. That. Happen?

When PAOK scored their first, half the Dons fans around me immediately said "they're going to f***in' win this now, aren't they."

The lack of question mark is intentional.

That triple sub will haunt Robson. So it should too. Barron off was a criminal sub. 

 

My issue with VAR is their pen and the MacKenzie incident were very similar. To me, they both need to be given or not. I would lean towards not as legs can tangle, going against most opinion here. But for one to be no and one to be yes is dreadful

Absolutely. Polvara was obviously burst and should have been hooked 5-10mins earlier. Barron was playing well and I was shocked when he was taken off, even more so when a saw an out of position 36 year old limp on in his place. Terrible decision. 
 

I know he wasn’t directly culpable for any of the goals but I was really disappointed with Clarkson again. 
 

Our lack of midfield strength and depth exposed in one set of subs.

Two nights in a row two Scottish clubs have shat their breeks in Europe…..things you love to see!

I wouldn't really say Celtic shat it. Athletico are a far superior side and Celtic got a good result in a draw. Only holding a one goal lead made a draw far from a "bottled it" job.

Spoiler

Still, let's laugh at them.

Aye. Assumed MacKenzie was coming off. Was in disbelief when I saw Barron head off.

I've read that Sportsound are questioning Robson making changes. That's a bit shit because if we put in a tired performance on Sunday then they would be saying we should have taken boys off when we were strolling it at 2-0.

I'm sure I heard the presenter say the referee had kicked his own door open? Says it all.
