Dunfermline v The Scottish Cup holders

[Kowalski]

We are a complete shambles from top to bottom and it’s so sad to see. We need a manger in ASAP. 
 

On a brighter note I managed to avoid the Smiths tribute act in Drummonds.

Most of them have been brought in from abroad to be "developed" and sold on for a profit. Most of them probably hadn't heard of Aberdeen before we signed them.

It doesn't matter to them. They still get paid.

 And they'll all say when they're featured in the match day programme "As soon as I heard Aberdeen were interested it was a no-brainer" meaning they'll pay me shed loads of dosh and I really don't have to give a fuck.

Easy to get there, nice ground in a good location, and easy to get home from. Shame about the fitba.

As I was in the home end I didn’t get any loyalty points today.

But I now have a semi final to look forward to with my Pars supporting sons.

Last May seems a long long time ago now!

Did you have an Aberdeen flag? Thought I saw one on red tv at the end in the pars end,

I don’t know where to begin with that. Team was reasonably close to one I woukd have picked with only Milanovic being one I would not have started and boy was he shite.Was wrong about Frames lack of defensive ability not causing us issues it did. Felt we were complete ineffective in middle of park. Cameron was particularly bad. I actually think we have got worse since sacking Thelin.

Watching highlights. First goal, both players off when the cross comes in but defender heads it and it drops to the scorer. If they're not interfering he didn't have to head it. Offside is a fucking joke these days

I only got there are half-time because I was working at the rugby. Met my mates, stayed for half an hour, and we decided to leave with 15 minutes to go. Value for money, would do it again.

Even in that little time, I saw too much. Every throw in, we threw it back the way towards the centre halves so they could improve their passing stats. 

Every pass in the final third had to go wide to Keskinen, who Dunfermline just closed down. Too easy.

Have no idea why people (more than one) on this board think Tony Docherty  should be interim manager. Go look at his appalling spell at Ross County.

What we need is a permanent manager. Preferably a good one.

Yes as much as I have a lot of time for Tony Doc, he's not someone who, given the goals against for Dundee and Ross Co, is the person the car crash we are at the moment

I’m only saying tony doc because I think he’s a better option than leven. Maybe gets us one or two more wins but that matters. Don’t see us getting a legit manager until summer so it’s our best option.

[Donofanewera]

The club is a mess, what are the CEO & DOF doing. If we end up 10th in the league it will be a bonus at this rate.

Okay. Having calmed down and slept on it this is where I'm at. 

I was being an over positive fool to expect us to win easily last night and for us to finish sixth or seventh.

I now see finishing in a play off place is possible though I still view it as unlikely. I do worry that we lack the players who can roll up their sleeves and get stuck in if it comes to a battle but ultimately I think we'll stay up but it isn't a cast iron certainty and it's as much about other teams being worse than us than us being a good side. 

Do I still want a head on a platter? Yes I'm afraid I do. Leven has to go ASAP. If he has any sense of honour he'll resign but the way contacts work and the fact he's a Hun make that highly unlikely. Docherty would then take over his role. Not ideal but it's the best option available. I don't want us to be rushed into appointing any old manager just because he's available. Horneland or Schwarz would be mental to take the job on and I'm now highly doubtful if they'll still be interested. Put yourselves in their shoes. Would you really want to take over at a club that's the top to bottom basket case Aberdeen are just now? I suspect it's now far more likely it'll be a Scot taking over as manager. 

Yesterday again we played some good football but it was only for about ten minutes. That's no use to man nor beast. Our players are far too soft, lazy and they just don't appear overly fussed about losing despite the performative sad and upset faces at the end. Having players with that mindset and allowing them to continue playing for our great club indicates to me there are serious problems that start from higher up than coaching level.

Where's their personal pride if nothing else? 

Lutz can bugger off. Ideally Cormack would go too. It stands to reason the likes of Garner, Burrows and the rest of those types should go as well if that unlikely scenario were to pass. It's a totally new start we need. A "reset" the millennials would call it. New broom sweeps clean.

Players I'd be fussed about leaving are few although I believe several of them could definitely perform well under the proper management but they'd need to sort out their mentality. 

I really have little enthusiasm left for the remaining games. The life has been sucked out of me by last nights disgrace (I rate it alongside Darvel as a humiliation) but I'm sure by the time the Falkirk game comes around last night will have been put behind us, it'll be business as usual and we'll all be up for it raring to go again.

We're fans it's what we do.
