Spent most of the match wondering which was the lower number, shots on target or blades of grass on that pitch.

All the other games are just scene-setting for Donald Trump scoring the winning USA penalty in the final.

I ken you're new here min but that's a read that's wider of the mark than a Darren Mackie penalty. Rest assured this forum and its posters are surprisingly measured for the most part (at least in the context of the highly emotive world of fitba).

Maybe. Except none of the words in "hard fought point" will apply to this game.

Radio praising the consistency of these VAR decisions, so at least we can all agree these red card decisions are consistently ruining football.

So that's our season extended by another fortnight. Seems a fair swap - Well get to focus on the league while we focus on the cup.

Well could get another 9 red cards and we'd still find a way.

Shinnie my Shinnie

Didnt take long to find out. Geiger sent off.

Thats some start. 3 minutes in, red card for Well, goal for Nisbet, 1-0 Dons.

Well, well, well.

By that measure, Hearts and Hibs have done just as badly as us (Hearts slightly better, Hibs slightly worse). Dundee Utd on the other hand, are the most successful relatively by reaching our goal returns on half the revenue, presuming we ignore the fact they were relegated during that time period. Twice. *not a dig incidentally, just a comment on the fickleness of statistics. I do agree we are generally punching well below our weight in relation to how much we spend at present.

I did note the figures were different, which probably speaks to the reliability of AI more than the data itself These should be difficult to get wrong as effectively all it was doing was adding up the final league tables, but hey, it's AI. Source definition (strict) League tables published by the SPL (2010/11–2012/13) League tables published by the SPFL (2013/14–2024/25) Goals for/against and matches played taken directly from official final tables for each season.

Interesting query. I widened it to include all teams and games in the top league in that time period.

You missed out this month's favourite, "postponed"

Are we sure it's Hornylad we are waiting on? Can think of other certain managers that have caught the eye but might only become available in the summer.

Whilst correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation, would agree - it was very striking that our fortunes dropped off a cliff after Bajrami left. Think this was compounded by the lengthy injury to key players at the same time, Mitov in particular.

Maybe we should borrow the Nottingham Forest hiring process - they've managed to seamlessly hire three managers this season alone, that must be the complete opposite of a shambles.

Think February's goal of the month is to get a manager in by March

Surely a blessing, if we can keep on avoiding actually having to play this may turn out to be our most successul month of the season.

On the plus side, I got my tax return done before full time.

Hemmin, can you just stop predicting things now please.

The only good thing about this Aberdeen team is that they give me a lot more free time on a Saturday afternoon for getting other things done.

Killie have scored twice already. Sake.

We seem to have scored from a corner, didn't know you could do that
