Predicted we wouldn't get a clean sheet and we did, so there is that, but mainly because United only became a serious threat late on. The better team but there was always that last pass or move that just wouldn't come off, and really there wasn't a huge deal for their goalkeeper to do. We battled and won the majority of 50/50s which at least shows the hunger is still there. Bring that to Tynecastle on Saturday, that's all I ask. Will need a bit more quality in front of goal too.

Try viprow (can't guarantee it'll work).

That's the lowest number of Aberdeen tickets sold for Tannadice I can ever remember. And I say that as someone who couldn't be arsed going up for it.

I like the look of the midfield. I like the look of the front three. The defence and goalkeeper will do very well to have a clean sheet though. Need to score at least twice to win tonight I think.

Sums it up perfectly

If Horneland had agreed to come, then they absolutely could come out and say it. He's the number one choice but nothing has been agreed or signed. That's the reality.

https://www.afc.co.uk/2026/02/22/chairmans-update-new-head-coach/ Update from Dave Cormack. Basically saying Knutsen wants to win the Champions League with Bodo/Glimt before taking the job in summer. At least I think that's what he says. I should probably read it again.

I know, why are you telling me this me? My reply was to someone who still believes that's the case, when clearly something has changed since the club statement.

Yeah, I think he probably deserves more credit than he's getting from some because it is a situation and squad that an experienced manager would be struggling with. However, I think it was @RicoS321 who said it, can't remember the quote, that he does a lot of things you do agree with - ie, Morrison's inclusion apart, I didn't see much disagreement over the line-up or formation v Dundee. But, there's a lot of in-game decisions where you can see he isn't the top level manager that we need just now - whether that's inexperience that'll he'll one day get, or maybe he just doesn't have it. The thing is though, we've gone through an interview process and not appointed anyone, and we're waiting on an answer from a guy who is non-committal. Let's be honest here, if he can recreate the Livingston performance a few more times and steer Aberdeen to Hampden, I wouldn't put it past the club thinking he's worth a go.

What will be announced soon? Because Horneland hasn't signed any contract with the club, so unless you're aware of something we're not, you're just guessing.

He's not being helped by all the suspensions. Four red cards in five games is difficult for any manager to deal with. I think he needs a stint as assistant manager, I don't think he's the man to lead us long term at the moment. Appears the opposite of Thelin in terms of temperament, but that's not always a good thing - at least with Thelin he would keep a cool head, and at times make smart decisions during a game. Leven was losing it with the players when they were celebrating after making it 2-2. I praised him for that v Livi as there was a chance to take the lead before half-time - which we did - but I think with 10 men, and we'd been down to 10 for a while, you maybe just take a wee breather, and take stock of things. I think we got a bit scattergun after equalising and a lot of that came from the dugout.

Second game in a row where we started well, creating chances, early goal and let's take it on from here - then we go down to 10 men and become a mess. Olusanya I thought did well in the first half, but the second he just stumbled over everything. We need a new manager poring over this, recognising what needs changed in summer - whether that's from afar or in the dugout. Is Horneland even watching our games, does he have any intention of taking us over? We need clarity on that very soon.

Terrible decision. Wasn't in the box for starters. And the Dundee player runs in front of Morrison and jumps back into him.

I really like Olusanya, and I'm not just saying that because he's scored. He brings a bit of chaos to proceedings, but in a good way - just becomes a nightmare to defend against. Will win us a lot of free-kicks in dangerous areas I think. Also think him and Nisbet are good foil for each other.
