Wouldn't disagree but what I was trying to say (I'm an old guy so try to bear with me) was that I thought Gieger gave his all today even when he was gassed towards the end and that I thought that Shinnie wouldn't have produced the same intensity today as he did in midweek.  

I think Geiger would have to go a long way to be as good as Shinnie to be honest. I think fitness will make a big difference to him though, and we'll pass judgement when that comes. He did work hard, and once fit that suggests he'll have a lot more to offer. We regularly hear that we should be moving on from Shinnie because he's not technically brilliant and he's ageing. However, we've signed numerous midfielders over the years and none have got close to offering what he does. I think Shinnie would have been fine today, but he can't play at Wednesday's level twice a week regularly, so we'd have to pick and choose which games to play him in. Anyway, I don't think Geiger is here to replace Shinnie, I think that might be what Aremu is for, but he's weeks away from playing by the looks of it. If we can get Geiger to the level that Aouchiche was at before he left, then that'd be very good. I think he has more bite than Aouchiche, so if he can do the running then that'll be excellent. However, if we don't replace Shinnie then we'll be in the same predicament we were earlier in the season, with a weak as piss midfield of similar players. Shinnie, Geiger, Cameron is definitely our best midfield at the moment, so hopefully Geiger gets up to speed soon. I don't think forcing ninety minutes out of him yesterday was a good way to go about it.

Totally disagree. Ridiculous today. Why was Morrison starting? He’s not shown anything to suggest he’s good enough and we had a tremendous opportunity to build on Wednesdays great result. Instead we made needless changes. That to me is criminal, go with the players that started well against  Motherwell unless we had injuries. Why start olusayna, even though he scored, why pigeon hole him at right mid? Obviously shinnie is injured so we needed one change.

Unless Milne was injured there was no point in morrison. Plus that’s two games now afeez has managed just 45 minutes. As was mentioned pregame, go with sivert, positionally and leadership. We’re at the business end of the season  and points matter, and are worth money. Very poor line up and while we started well, the red killed us. I just don’t understand leven’s approach today??

im not going to jump on VAR. we know it’s shit, and we got the benefit midweek. It is what it is. And I’m not blaming the ref. Both are out of our control, picking the team, the tactics etc are under our control.

the team and club are a bit of a mess right now and I think the reaction to today’s result is justified.

It was actually a great game of football (from a neutral viewpoint) and the Dons for the majority of the match played some good stuff. First 25 minutes was fantastic and we bossed the second half despite being a man short.

However there are absolutely some players at the club that shouldn't wear the shirt again. I personally wouldn't give Morrison in particular another appearance. Others we can cut some slack because they're clearly not match fit.

I am all for change if that change is for the better. Have now seen more than enough of Bratveit to see is most certainly not an upgrade on Mitov.

Hopefully Mitov back in between the sticks from Wednesday at tannadump and for the rest of the season.

Nisbet MOTM easily yesterday and is most probably one of the most hard working players we have.

He certainly and clearly gives a fuk and tries his best every single week which is not a lot to ask. Sadly we cannot say the same about many of that fukin charlatans that were prancing around the pitch yesterday. Got what we deserved once again

[Bukta Bertie]

Bratveit will do as the number two keeper but we need to get a new number one.

I'm sticking with Geiger as my MotM but aye Nisbett always puts a shift in. One to keep. 

[blinlemon]

Interesting that Interim Pete is quoted as wanting a word with McLean about our disallowed goal. He recalls, as do I, Motherwell equalising against us from a corner earlier this season without any signal having been given by the WITB, whilst our defence chatted about which club they’d go to in the evening, and whether to have a black pudden supper, or its mock chop equivalent from the Dolphin chipper later on. 

Sort it oot, you reffy pricks.

They're professional athletes following a strict diet to maintain their fitness and wellbeing.

It'll be a fish supper fae the chipper.

A good shout.
I think that perhaps the older, experienced Reds may take the pisçine batteré route, but Milne, Lobban, and Topi have still a bit to learn, and may continue their foodie love affair with the adolescent chipper scandal that is chips and cheese.
For fuck’s sake. Violet Wilson will be turning in her grave.

Is the Piscine Battere a dogging hotspot like the Torry Battery.

I was trying to be witty, dry even like a black pudding left on the warming plate of a chipper from dennertime closing until suppertime opening. Failed miserably as usual. 

Chippy is teuchter talk. He's obviously not from these parts.

Negatory, Pigpen. I’m a mealer and onybody using such a description of Violet’s, Bennet’s, Jimmy Logie’s, Gairtly’s, or the Corner Café would have been chased from town by a posse armed with oot-of-date scotch eggs, a bucketful of the green chips caught by the frier before they could be incorporated in a mock chop supper, and haddock heids. 

i blame that Scouse cunt Stan Boardman and his cultural imperialism.

I refer to the teuchters that aren't fortunate enough to be born in civilized Aberdeen and shire.

Central belt heathens and highland dancers. The real teuchters.

We deserved a draw yesterday BUS and we showed good character by getting the equaliser and playing well in the second half, despite going down to 10 and going behind in the first half.

They scored a pearler of a goal to win it at the right time, which knocked the stuffing out of us.

You start with one Banffshire loon, and you start with the lot of us, fae Tomintoul to Sanein and Troup Heid to the Tynet Burn. 

After the pubs shut, like….

Ach I am nae so sure DD, aye we showed a bit of character (well Nisbet did) not so sure us as a team did, but hey ho it is what it is and it's another defeat dragging us ever so closer to relegation playoff 
What keeper would you go with from now till the end of the season, OK the choice is clearly nae great atween Bratveit or Mitov but for me I think we should revert back to Mitov, his wee break of being dropped to the bench might just give him the kick up the arse he needs and when he turns up he is in my opinion a better keeper than Brat.

I'd say we were the better team in the second half. Maybe if we had taken off Geiger or Cameron, both were tiring, then me may have got the deserved draw, but it was still a sore one. 

As for the keeper, wasn't overly impressed with the new guy, but it's a position we have had issues with for years and our defence/midfield don't help our keepers out much either.  

I like Mitov, but he did deserve to be dropped for his own sake, is Bratveit any better. We can only hope so. We could end up with two keepers low on confidence if we're not careful.

 

[TheDonbytheDee]

I just watched the highlights.

The Dundee second goal. Not a good look for a new keeper.

What?

Aberdeen were undoubtedly the better team. Literally fantastic in the first 25 and clearly the better side in the second half despite being a man down. You're obviously one of those that are only happy when you're moaning types.

If you want to categorize folks into different types then file me under realist that disna wear red tinted glasses.

Was the penalty and red card double wammy a bit harsh? Yes I guess it was but it is what it is and we have to get on with it (we gave it a go for a while in second half) and eventually got a break (Nisbet free kick) fair enough 

But,  lets see the stats:
Possession Dons 53.4% Dundee 46.6%
Shots - Dons 11 Dundee 23
Shots on Target - Dons 4 Dundee 7
Keeper saves - Dons 4 Dundee 2
Ariel Duals won - Dons 9 Dundee 14 
Corners 2 Dundee 9 

Ok we were reduced to 10 men, but reading that above (for a neutral) it would be pretty difficult to  determine who the home team was.

10 men or not, Aberdeen Football Club should never be conceding three goals at home and especially to Dundee 

We should be better than that, but sadly right now we are not

You won't find a bigger pragmatic realist than me but I've decided where you'll be filed young man.

You're being filed in my ignored user cabinet. I don't like your attitude one little bit.
