This is where the season begins to unravel. Sold out away end, Aberdeen fans arriving in expectant mood, only to be met by a poor performance and Thelin's first defeat.

Nisbet to miss a few sitters, Gueye to revert to his early-Aberdeen form, Clarkson to struggle to make an impact, Rubezic to be caught out for one goal and to be at fault for the penalty, Keskinen to go missing.

Rangers to beat Hibs to narrow the gap on us to two points.

I mean, I might be wrong. If I am then sorry Dundee for jinxing you.

What a finish. Great goal, after a pretty shoddy error from their defender. We've started very well.

Nisbet spoils my prediction.  1-0

Nae signal. I need to speak with my very credible supplier.

You're missing loads, we're 3-1 down

Great Finnish from Keskinen 

What the fuck was the Dundee player doing diving there?

Topi the league 

Hearts falling apart...again

Haha, I'm actually watching Chelsea Brighton. All action game.

Another shitty goal to lose, Molloy is not the best in the air, doesn’t win or judge the long ball header, much like the first game of the season.

Been some questionable defensive decisions,after looking pretty dominant.See what were made of second half...

We looked really good for 95% of that half, but finished it lucky to still have 11 on the pitch.

We were good for 43 minutes or so. Just an error. Would like to see it again, but I thought Rubi should have been dealing with it.

Ambrose.  Why.

Ugh. Poor second half but to win that, I’ll take it. First 40 mins were good, the rest was pretty piss.
Good god, Ambrose…. Yet to see anything to suggest he’s ever played before. Looks pathetic and unfit. How?? Like playing with 10!

Never in doubt. Great win in the end, a battling second half. The defence pulled it out for us, winning everything in our box. Devlin was excellent today. Keskinen good too, and Shinnie and Nielsen are basically one player now. 

Ambrose. That's quite a competition he's won.

Piss easy, this league malarky.

Uncomfortable, but Ill take it. A good win,which at the same time allowed us to see and hopefully work on some of our weaknesses.

  Ambrose meanwhile, looked awesomely thick,lazy and useless.Impressive portfolio

He actually nearly set up a goal at the end, but I'm not convinced that he was deliberately closing down the player, he seemed to be playing an entirely different game. Did anyone spot if he was actually wearing a VR headset?

Autocorrect! Looks lethargic and unfit! Although probably pathetic too.

agreed, while we were poor in attack in the second half, strong defensively and that’s a good battling win. Still concerned about Malloy and ruby, the penalty was preventable and almost every goal we lose involves one or both of them.

I know he has to earn it but really wanted to see duk up top the last 20  instead of Ambrose. Duk wants to play thru the middle and may get his chance. Ambrose is awful and sokler is almost playing himself out of the team. May end up duk gets what he wants, and to be honest, is probably the biggest threat behind nisbet.

Was starting to think that Thelin was deliberately playing Ambrose just to lessen any hostility to Duk coming back.  Either that or we've got a contractual clause to play him a certain number of times before we can book a taxi.

Was my first game of the season and was worried we'd win 11 on the bounce, then I'd show up and we'd lose, but we are magnificent.

Can see why Thelin took off McGrath for Palaversa as we needed physicality at that point, but it meant when we won it back we didn't have enough bodies forward to break and we struggled to hold possession and kill Dundee's momentum. That was when you wanted Gueye on for Clarkson too (although the wee man battled gamely, they were trying to bully him but he scrapped away).

I've criticised Rubezic, but penalty apart he was very good. Molloy I thought struggled, second half all his headers seemed to be downward and he never really got it cleared. Was bailed out a few times.

Ambrose, ooft. I wanted to give him a chance, but wouldn't be sad to never see him in a Dons shirt again.

just watching it back, two very tidy finishes, fans sound in great voice. Wonder when JT stops the Ambrose time? Needs a Norwegian loan.

Ambrose looked like the guy that won the half time raffle to get to play the last ten minutes.

Having said that, he did have one very important headed clearance late on 

Could we turn him into a central defender 🤔

Some fucking bounce in the away end today.

Wondered why half time lasted so long and we were talking about how far behind we were in the second half compared to other games.

Hope the lad is ok and wishing him a speedy recovery 👍
