Match Thread Aberdeen v Rangers - 13:30 Sunday - Premier Sports

[DEJA BLUE]

Fair enough, we’ll beat them at Ibrox

Like in December we need to get a serious grip here bomb out barasic( not interested) for halliday get mcrorie in there we were not physical enough today, why can't Gerrard make a change to actually win the game today

 

[Scotitch]

McCrorie must play in the replay, I do have him behind in the pecking order but we won nothing in the air in the midfield today put us under pressure.

 

[TNT]

Will be interesting to see if Dolly try and demand 20%. I’m not sure we have a ready made excuse for denying it to them like they did with us.

I certainly think we should at least try and keep them in the corner.

 

[I believe in Eli]

How can McCoist compliment Clancy. He said that Cosgrove could have seen red, McLennan should have been sent off. Missed Lowe who should have been given a yellow, missed the fouls on Morelos but apart from that he had a good game

He didn’t miss the fouls on Morelos, he was happy to allow them all day, no doubt in the hope Morelos would react and give him a chance to send him off.

 

[Bigeye]

Oh those breakaways, a wee bit more composure and we could have got the winner.
We will beat them at Ibrox.

 

[noucamp72]

Thank fuk we've got another shot at this.

It will be enjoyable batterer the floodlights at a packed Ibrox.

 

[Foolback]

We lost the midfield physical battle. We need strength in there, Mccrorie should have played as he has proven in the past.

 

[PalefaceRedskin]

Clancy is bent. Cosgrove and Shinnie should definitely walk. Lowe and McKenna would also have walked if they were playing for us.

 

[Foddo Foddo]

Can play a whole lot better than that. They just crowded the middle of the pitch and were allowed to barge us off the ball all game. On such a tight pitch and with those tactics we didn't get the space to flow. 3 or 4 zero at the Brox no probs.

 

[Laidlaw Loyal]

While the whole team bar Worral, Kamara and McGregor were pretty awful, Jack doesn't seem to have taken on board whatever the manager said to him after the game on Wednesday. Very poor.

Ally must be huffin glue if he thinks that was a decent refereeing performance, he never gave a foul on Morelos until 90 odd minutes despite him being fouled constantly and ifthat tackle on Arfield is made by a Rangers player then its a red

The elbow on Barisic was a red.

 

[sandbankbear]

I think the way he’s singled out ever time is a bit pathetic. Tav was just as bad, Jack was the worst player on the park, and Goldson was garbage too, but it always seems to come back to the left back

Well you think after the First time he gave it away he would learn but no. It’s basic stuff. He was awful

 

[bluenosebazza]

I think he is saying we were carrying one or two passengers yet the management team didn't seem to notice.

Jack was honking, Barasic was just as bad so that is two for starters.

Both are defensive minded subs though, we were chasing a win.

 

[Themaruso]

Gerrard has to play Mccrorie in physical games

 

[A1bertz]

Will Mrs Compliance come after Alfie again now? Let's see how many times they show his kick on the replays. Sportscene will have multiple views I'm sure

 

[WeeDeeBee]

Cleared the ball off the line and won the corner for the goal.

How dare you come in here using facts to defend FF's new whipping boy

 

[Walters80]

Still being in the cup at the final whistle is the only positive to take from today.

That’s 5 games against that guff this season and 1 win from us just not good enough.

 

[Shropshire_Bear]

Let’s compare the effort that Aberdeen put in to the game on Saturday. I can see Celtic boosting their goal advantage for this one.

 

[The Doctor]

We are still lucky to be in the cup after a performance like that. We allowed Aberdoom to drag us down to their level, although they were aided and abetted by Clancy who gave them a foul every time one of them down, while allowing them to kick us up and down the park.

 

[bluenosebazza]

Clancy is bent. Cosgrove and Shinnie should definitely walk. Lowe and McKenna would also have walked if they were playing for us.

McClennan launched into Candeias while on a booking as well and the ref played on.

 

[Calico Jack]

Still not good enough

Clearing an almost certain goal and winning the set piece for our goal, tell me how many were 'good enough' today?

 

[Bluejim]

Delighted that we managed to get a replay from that dire performance. Kamara was outstanding, as for the rest of them, they really need to change their attitude. I also wonder why SG never made any subs?

 

[bilkobear]

You know what, I think Morelos should be commended for keeping his head there. I’d have probably lost the plot, he conceded fouls, but got nothing whilst being persistently fouled throughout the game.

A stinking show of the extent to which he is refereed differently.

Yes. No wonder he becomes frustrated.
Clancy actually ignored the laws in order to fck Morelos over.
McCoist simply lacks the bottle to put Rangers point of view over.

 

[Danger Zone]

Well you think after the First time he gave it away he would learn but no. It’s basic stuff. He was awful

Why do people go straight for him even when there’s worse performers on the park? At times today I thought Jack was still a big Aberdeen fan.

 

[bluenosebazza]

Let’s compare the effort that Aberdeen put in to the game on Saturday. I can see Celtic boosting their goal advantage for this one.

Its fair to say Aberdeen took the game off against Hamilton in preparation for today.

 

[Jjbscotty]

Clearing an almost certain goal and winning the set piece for our goal, tell me how many were 'good enough' today?

I know for a fact barisic isnt good enough.

 

[AmsterdamBear]

Both are defensive minded subs though, we were chasing a win.

If McCrorie comes on for Jack there's a chance you create a platform for yourself to be more potent in attack.

Jack had an off day, it happens but it doesn't send much of a message to the bench when we are clearly carrying a number of passengers and they don't get hooked.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

It’s all the players fault mate. You can’t blame a manager for how HIS players do, it’s not like he picks the team or formulates the game plan....

Fed up of excuses, that today was shit and the manager failing to make a change is not good enough.

We had match winners on the bench, change the course of the game and use them.

Tactically weak and too scared to make a decision.

 

[GEEEDUBYA]

We were poor. Got out of jail today.McKenna MOTM. Borna needs to man up as he is not physical enough.

 

[rossgers]

Ryan Jack has been appalling

Really surprised he lasted 90 mins. Totally bullied and couldn't pass water.

 

[SPRINGBOKS]

yes. It is.

Radio comms possibly

 

[thetoptier]

diabolical performance

 

[SR11RFC]

Clancy correct to book Morelos- but there after allowed his personal opiniom to cloud his professional one.

Also, advantage you absolute fanny..

Anyway, glad to still be in the cup.

I think the yellow was harsh.. there was contact although Alfie made a delayed meal of it, no penalty but no yellow for me. A yellow for simulation is a blatant dive with no contact, expected the worst form that cheating F*** Clancy anyway

 

[bluenosebazza]

Delighted that we managed to get a replay from that dire performance. Kamara was outstanding, as for the rest of them, they really need to change their attitude. I also wonder why SG never made any subs?

All he could really do was sub DM for DM or bring on Halliday for Barisic, who improved in the 2nd half.

 

[RFC97]

Really surprised he lasted 90 mins. Totally bullied and couldn't pass water.

He’s been in fine form recently and usually plays well against them.

I feel he was too complacent, thought we’d walk it. Hence his sloppiness.

 

[Laidlaw Loyal]

How dare you come in here using facts to defend FF's new whipping boy

I thought he dug in today. Him and Kamara seemed to come out to the second half fired up.

 

[wee bud's pit boots]

Was lucky enough to have missed the first half.

Yup, we allowed them a couple of chances in the second half, but the two offisides we ersed up, and the pinch that Arfield missed tell us we're still a good bit away from where we need to be.

We simply need to be smart enough to take these chances when they come along.

 

[final_straws]

I know for a fact barisic isnt good enough.

You don't know for a "fact"

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Really? - show us your medals, your coaching badges, anything.

What the %^*&?

This Gerrard can do no wrong is utter pish. We had players on that park not performing, we had match winners on the bench.

It's not up to me to make a tactical change. That's what Gerrard gets paid to do.

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Fed up of excuses, that today was shit and the manager failing to make a change is not good enough.

We had match winners on the bench, change the course of the game and use them.

Tactically weak and too scared to make a decision.

Who would you have taken off?

As has been noted, a little composure on a number of breakaways and we would have won the game.

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

I'll take the replay. Could've went either way.

 

[ald]

Like in December we need to get a serious grip here bomb out barasic( not interested) for halliday get mcrorie in there we were not physical enough today, why can't Gerrard make a change to actually win the game today

You are surely having a laugh re Barasic? What exactly did Barasic do wrong today? I thought he was good defensively and that he was as physical as I have seen him. One of his better performances IMHO.

 

[Iain04]

Blew some great counter attacking chances, though thankfully great defending for the Aberdeen chances in the box.
Either side could have won that

 

[GourockBlue50]

Anyone got the stats for games refereed by Clancy?

That should be the sort of information gathered by the SFA to prove to the supporters that there is no bias in our game.

It's what he lets the other side off with which doesn't get recorded that matters.

 

[warfieldranger]

Lucky to still be in the cup after a very poor first half.

 

[pelem]

He didn’t miss the fouls on Morelos, he was happy to allow them all day, no doubt in the hope Morelos would react and give him a chance to send him off.

I take it like Muir V killie, this absolute arsehole of a supposed ref will be in charge of the replay ?. Clancy is a fuukin Nonce.

 

[WearsideGallantFew]

 

[BenVorlich]

Maybe the fact they won't sell 10,000 tickets.

I doubt Aberdeen will sell out the corner to be honest.
They will cite midweek game in Glasgow with no trains.

 

[RAFBob]

They made the park dry and bumpy.

We will murder then at Ibrox

Even so; we'll destroy them at Ibrox, you aren't wrong!

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Their website for live events is a complete clusterfuck

 

[rossgers]

Clancy is bent. Cosgrove and Shinnie should definitely walk. Lowe and McKenna would also have walked if they were playing for us.

What about Ball. Every time Kent got him one on one he fouled him. 5 times I counted. Not even a yellow

 

[RAFBob]

Joke of an organisation.
