Duk’s diving about is starting to get really fucking annoying.

This is the one I mentioned initially, the dotted lines are intersecting with the solid lines of the wrong colour. Miovski’s dotted line seems to curve at the bottom.

Shouldn’t the line be drawn from the defender’s elbow? Miovski’s dotted line doesn’t seem to intersect properly with his solid line. Is this supposed to be like Hawkeye in tennis or is it just some Hun in a cupboard with some crayons?

If the attacker is in line with the defender it’s onside is my understanding. Even the lines drawn on the screen didn’t seem to match up because both lines would have ended up on top of each other. The line from the defender’s shoulder seemed to line up with Miovski’s cross-field line.

What’s the point in VAR if that’s upheld as offside? Clearly onside.

Which is far more exciting than our previous tactic of waiting for borderline boilers to finish doing the rounds of the whole town before eventually settling for us because we’re too scared to spread our wings beyond our own doorstep except for a fortnight in Magaluf every couple of years. Occasionally we’d get in first with one of the younger local ones but only because we have our own car. That’s no way to live. The knowing nods between punters every time you enter the local pub. “I see he’s taken in Curtis Main this time” they’ll whisper amongst themselves.

I liked the bit about not being wedded to a particular system or formation. Set the team up in a way that suits the strengths of the players you have and limits exposing their weaknesses and the rest is down to man management. Makes more sense than anything Robson ever said. Obviously if that results in Big Angus hoofing it in the vague direction of Big Pape for 90 minutes I won’t be so happy.

The football equivalent of voting for Trump because he was funny in the primaries debates.

According to BBC: Aberdeen are the first team this season to go a whole half without touching the ball in the opposition's box.

Fucking fuck me, Colin Wanker would be a disaster.

Craig Samson still here? I have an irrational annoyance of seeing him on the touchline interfering with tactics, subs, etc.

Let’s face it, whoever the next manager is, he will either be someone untested at this level or someone experienced with a couple of turds on their CV.

“Philips had great energy and you know there is a player in there somewhere but he just didn't deliver enough. He's not a box to box midfielder, he's not a 10, so am not sure where he could really play.” Sounds like all the midfielders we already have.

Not that we ever looked particularly dangerous but the whole Barron/Mackenzie for Hayes/Jensen made little sense and we were completely impotent for the rest of the game. Macdonald for Rubezic was the icing on the cake.

Aye bring Macdonald on, that’ll help us get a goal. Fucking idiot.

They had seemingly made a lot of commitments to build community facilities in areas where they were building houses that they then couldn’t afford to proceed with (assuming they had every intention of doing so). Countesswells is one example I think.

A bit unfair on Robson, very few coaches can make Gogic look like prime Baresi.

Not necessarily, Huns have spies/grasses everywhere, you can be sure if he said something controversial it would end up on FollowFollow somehow. True story - around the turn of the millennium someone on here took a dislike to me and posted a link to my Bebo page which contained an image of Neil Simpson winning a 50/50 against Ian Durrant. Along with that they posted my real name, address, phone number. Wasn’t a pleasant time. Anyway, fast forward more than 20 years, halfway across the world, a Hun upon seeing my name identifies me as the Dons fan with the Simmy tackle on the internet. These “people” are not fucking normal and I wouldn’t give them any opportunity to interfere with my professional life no matter how correct I am.

Unsurprisingly the match is off.

A90 northbound now closed by police, heavy flooding around Forfar, not looking good for them or their fans getting up the road.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the game was called off with a yellow weather warning in effect.

Why the fuck does McGarry keep coming infield both with and without the ball?

If anything, we should have let them score much earlier than they did, only way we would have been forced to try and attack them. As it was, it came too late and every entry into the final third was riddled with panic and chaos.

Is that a 541 with Milne and McGarry at full back and Morris and Duncan on the wings? Or 451 with Gartenminmin at RB and Milne in midfield (or even vice versa)? Not sure anyone in that line up can play on the left of a back 3.
