Not entirely sure how Butland's foul on Duk isn't a pen. Oh wait, yes I am. 

I thought it was a reasonable shout for a pen at the time but I have just seen a replay of this incident again - that is a pen all day long. As you intimate…. nobody is surprised it didn’t even get checked.

No idea. Who do you think was diving?

Quite obviously it was Duk.

They don't count as goals though, or something.

Aye, apparently. Even if we were to disregard his penalty goals (which we absolutely shouldn't since no other player seems to have their penalty goals discredited), he would still be averaging 6 goals a season with a goal/assist contribution every 2.4 games. He is a right back. Those stats are excellent.

Perception over reality. Duk went down three times. First one he got past defender, got his shirt pulled, goes down and a goal kick is given. Second one is the same scenario but this time the referee takes off his blue tinted glasses and gives a foul. Third one Butland takes him out to get to the ball, but luckily for you Robertson has stuck his glasses back on.

The Aberdeen supporters here agree their team played dreadfully. Yet it took an also terrible Sevco until the 76th minute to take the lead, and a shocking yet unsurprising bit of reffing to avoid an equaliser.

So... stop being afraid of them, the other 10 Spiffle Premier teams. Our resident Union Bears are well happy now, and singing the praises of Plastic Bertrand; but he's one poor game away from being howled down and his and the board's sacking being demanded. OK, you're also playing against the reff and the linos and the VAR jockeys, but there is hope while they're this bad (see also their Parkhead twins and business partners).
