Shambolic refereeing, shambolic defending, and we've now entered a dystopian parallel universe where our hopes rest on a naked McGhee saving us from relegation.

Every fucking home game

Yep, that's just it, why create the atmosphere in the first place? That's McGhee-esque. That was a very unhappy team out there today. I mean, there's not really such a thing as a reset button is there? You've got guys who won't be there and guys that will. Why create the type of workplace where 50% don't want to be there? How long will it take the rest to recover/reset once the clear out has occurred? What does that bitterness do to the young guys like Barron and Ramsay? We're going to be relying on many of these guys next season whether Goodwin would like it or not. Gallagher and Bates go through the motions every single week. There is zero drive or passion from either of them. But they both will be here and likely playing every week. Ferguson can't be here for another year, it'll ruin him and he'll be a complete drain on the rest of the side (that's not a criticism, he deserves his chance elsewhere). Our team has very few signs of hope, and adding a layer of resentment does nobody any good.

Another poor performance in midfield today. He's a very strange one. He is a strong, athletic runner with a great work rate, but is he actually any good? I'm not convinced he's good enough at actual fitba to be playing centre midfield. He's not positionally good enough, or strong enough (especially in the air), to play centre half. I think we should deploy him at right back next season. Unless we're playing a back three. He'd be a fantastic holding midfielder against teams that are stronger than us, but we rarely need that. I don't mean this in a critical sense, but he reminds me of Ricky Foster when he was at his best for us. He'd mark Barry Ferguson completely out of a game then fail to complete a five yard pass. Just better at stopping others playing fitba than actually playing himself. I like McRorie, and most especially his attitude and work rate, but he's an absolute conundrum in terms of how to utilise.

Dons is 'not paying living wage' scandal

Sorry for your loss but you're lucky I am out of the country right now because if I'd read your post on Wednesdaythen you were getting a as you were asked a perfectly polite question. Your choice min. Try reading the site regulations.

Ref has been fucking honking, but another poor half again. If Ramsay at all fit, we need to get Ojo off now. McRorie and Ferguson been pish in midfield, we've had lots of crosses and those two need to be getting in the box to support Watkins. Watkins been okay, but very similar to when he played there for us previously - he's just not a goal threat on his own. Bates and Gallagher vastly inferior to Killie's defence of Taylor and Considine next season - just pish.

Unless I’m getting my timelines mixed up, Milne also had the opportunity to buy up the land behind the Merkland and South Stands so we didn’t need to be in this pickle in the first place. An incredibly stupid business decision by whoever it was calling the shots (assuming there wasn’t an inherent desire to tear us away from Pittodrie). Even if the chances were minimal that we’d build on the land, it would still be an appreciating asset that could easily be sold again later if we truly didn’t need it.
