ABOUT a dozen Aberdeen FC fans demonstrated outside the stadium after the 3-0 Europa League defeat to Sigma.

 

They chanted: “You’re not fit to wear the shirt†as the players made their way on to the team bus.

 

Aberdeen FC manager Mark McGhee was cheered by the fans.

 

Defender Stuart Duff expressed sympathy for the fans after what was another bad result for the club.

McGhee must wield axe and cut out dead wood – see Stewart McKimmie’s views in today’s Evening Express.

Unfucking believable.

 

We are rapidly turning into a joke club again..

The players aren't fit to wear the shirt....but the man who thought they were is cheered?

He can only work with the players he has at the club.

 

(i'm not sayin he should have been cheered or otherwise, but he can't pick players to play for us that he doesn't have.)

Its his job to get players who are fit to wear the shirt too though

I was hoping for at least a centre half

Of course it is. But how many did you think he was going to bring in for god's sake? 11? 12? 13? Let's get real here, eh?

Unfucking believable.

When have we ever not been a joke of a club. At least we have a decent manager now

Weren't we all? Does getting one centre half in make the rest of them good players? (he should still have made signings by now, of course, and he has to take flak for that, but in the main, he has to work with what he has which is not a lot in more ways than one)

At least we have a decent manager now 

 

Source?

Source?

Narnia.

I would imagine the collective IQ of those "demonstrating" would just about scrape into double figures.

Considerably smaller than the collective waist size.

 

Cheering a manager who decided playing 4-3-3 against a team who were clearly fitter, technically more acomplished and frankly superior in every way?

 

Bizarre in the extreme.

Factual information to back up that statement.......

No, thought not

Probably worth point out we played 4-4-2 last night, according to Redweb.

True, however, its also his job to get the best from the players he has available to him, and its clear that he doesn't know how to set them up at all (yet!)

They were 4-4-2 last night (supposedly), same as they played all last season. Although he probably didn't realise he'd have to re-train them about that...

Exactly.

In fairness, if they were in 4-4-2 they would still have got pumped. You know it and I know it.

No doubt. But had McGhee bothered to arrange and pre-season friendlies he'd maybe have realised that the team wasn't able to pull off the 4-3-3 formation before trying it out in our first competitive game of the season :-/

Agree with that too.  No accounting for your centre half acting like a fucking dingle though is there?

 

No denying that either.

Protesting at our second game of the season, and our 1st away one, in europe!

FFS Fuck Sake.

 

What I want to know is where were all these famous Czech casuals when this was going on?

In the Czech Republic maybe?

I thought they went to Dyce or something. Thought it was a bit over the top.
