Aye no bother
Didn’t he?
Shinnie done him up like a kipper.

He actually wrote their team talk for them with his comments after the draw at Pittodrie.
Wait to you beat them before you slag them off.
3 attempts to beat Aberdeen and failed on each occasion.
1 goal scored and it was a penalty.
Worse result at home to Aberdeen in over 25 years.
And therein lies the problem with professional footballers. Win lose or draw they still get paid a basic wage of tens/hundreds of thousands of pounds per week.As much as I agree with your first part the 2nd part would mean that no one would join us under those conditions. Why would they when they can get paid every game elsewhere?
When you’ve played them 3 times, lost 2 and drawn 1, it’s hard to argue that they’re not a better team when they play Gers. And they did play better than Gers tonight!! We didn’t put them under any pressure whatsoever.Well that perennial loser's team is in 6th place whilst we sit in 2nd.
We'll get it right. No one in their right mind is claiming that Aberdeen are better than us or that McInnes is a better manager than Gerrard.
Their luck can't last forever.

And if they get benched they still get paid.
I know they get win bonuses but who cares about them when you still get an obscene amount every week just for turning up
Exactly this.A perennial loser who is unbeaten in 4 v us ?
They had a game plan, it was ugly, but they stuck to it. Let our central defenders have the ball, they're doing nothing. Let Jack and Ejaria pass across the park, no cutting edge. Wind up Morelos, he'll take the bait. Let Ejaria spin with the ball, because he won't get beyond their mid field.
If being schooled means putting every man behind the ball and adopting an anti-football kicking match for 90 minutes then it isn't something that I ever want to see ... they have been abysmal in all of the games against us but we simply haven't had enough about us to break them down.
No tactical masterstroke required ...
Weird to think Murty has us beating them back to back around this time last year.
We're much improved though so I wouldn't read too much into it.

Don,t think there are any drama queens. It's is a pertinent question to ask.Drama queens on here tonight
Aberdeen are shite and McInnes sets them up the same defensive way against us and Celtic. We should steamroller them, but yes, we've not, and his comments are probably still in their dressing room wall. He was naive, he's a rookie, it's going to happen. I just hope other teams dirt figure us out as Gerrard has shown himself to have difficulties when things need changed. Look at the two matches against the Russian mob, both matches their manager changed it at half-time and we couldn't reply.
Despite this, we're still in the hunt and it was unrealistic for many on here to think we'd win all matches this month. No use getting dramatic about it until results like this become chronic. Our midfield is definitely missing a couple players and Lafferty is pish. While I think we've got a chance this season, another summer strengthening will really get us close.
There was a time when Smith couldn’t get the better of Inverness CT!
Didn’t mean ICT management “schooled “ Smith, did it?
You need to take a step back and calm down.Serious question. and I'm beyond angry right now,
But when do you rid Mr G of the rookie excuse?
Do I need to wait till he's in his forties before I give him a break?
Absolute bullsh*t.
Aberdeen did nothing clever at all, they had literally one chance tonight and I reckon between the 3 meetings they’ve had 3/4 chances over the 3 games!
Our players are to blame and didn’t turn up. McInnes hasn’t schooled anyone in his life, this isn’t about that no mark.

Second gets you nothing.
How many times do we need to get it right.
Let’s get it clear tonight wasn’t one of they we were unlucky games, hitting the post, bar keeper making brilliants saves, or a we will play worse and win. We played right into their hands from the first minute.
We knew exactly what they would do, and let them.
I'll grant you that but we are still a few players short if we want to get serious.Thats cause the sheep add 25% (or hatred) to their game when they play us they don't when they play Nounce FC
He was hardly schooled

Oh right is it not, we just ignore it, we can’t point out the obvious.
That was honestly one of the worst Aberdeen sides I have ever seen come to Ibrox. They came with a plan the same plan they used to pump us out the cup.
So pumped out the cup and knocked off the top of the league by a team that achieves nothing and some people think that is remotely acceptable ?
Nonsense
How is it the worst result in 25 years. They beat us 2-1 at Ibrox a couple of seasons back.
Pumped us in the cup hahaha we played them off the park ffs
Ah, the Pedro-lover back to tell us how good the Portuguese manager really was.
In the opening game, Aberdeen were very fortunate to get a point against 10 men (for 80 minutes). McInnes had little answer to the changes made that day.
Rather than go toe-to-toe with Rangers, McInnes has reverted to mass defence, break up the game, win fouls around the box and hope a set-piece works. Both games could easily have gone either way.
It's hardly being schooled.
Look I have no interest in Pedro he has gone, you were one of the many using a defeat at home to Aberdeen as a stick to beat him with, to get him sacked.
You can’t all of a sudden sweep a defeat to Aberdeen under the carpet because it suits your objectives.
Yes first game of the season they were lucky to get a point, did we learn from it ?
Semi at Hampden yes their tactics weren’t pretty but they restricted us to ONE attempt on target. We lost a goal to a set piece. Did we learn from it ?
Tonight we played against the same tactics and got beat again, hardly creating any open chances.
We have played 3 games against them, scored ONE goal, a penalty, put out the cup have ONE point from 6 in the league.
Any game can go either way, it’s how you make it go yours, it doesn’t have to be pretty.
Do you play golf ? There are no pictures on a scorecard.
I was in Maribor watching us cling on for dear life to scrape through, but we done what we had to and stuck to the game plan we had it certainly wasn’t pretty but we got what we went for, just like Aberdeen have on their last 2 trips to Glasgow to play us.

It’d be nice, sensible actually, to look beyond tonight’s one game.Serious question. and I'm beyond angry right now,

I would say he should have subbed Buffalo when he got yellow. A great teaching moment IMHO.Tbh its noy Gerrards fault our players couldnt do the basics tonight.
