This needs its own thread. They've averaged exactly three goals a game with one game to go. Over 70% possession on average for the season. It's not sport. They shouldn't be in our league. Something has to be done. It's ruining the game.

Is it a Eurovision Party Al I dont expect we will get beaten 3 nil but we most likely will finish in 5th. Felt quite optimistic for Top 6 after the semi and defeat of Hibs but the last week and 1/2 has just been brutal so demoralising and for the first time beginning to wonder about Thelin and I really dont want to go down that road again!! One thing for sure I cannot wait for the season to be over!!

Milanovic signing confirmed by the club Three year deal // bit.ly/3ZeuG4T Winger Nicolas Milanovic has signed a pre-contract agreement with the Dons after the club agreed an undisclosed fee with Australian A-League side Western Sydney Wanderers. The highly rated 23-year-old will officially move to the North-east of Scotland in the summer on a three-year deal, with a Club option for a fourth. With an eye for a goal during his time down under, the Aussie has impressed with his dynamic performances for Wanderers this campaign, netting 12 times and creating six from 25 league matches. Commenting on his first signing of the summer window, Jimmy Thelin believes Aberdeen will be the ideal platform for Nicolas to fulfil his potential. “Nicolas is an exciting, up-and-coming player who we believe has a very bright future ahead of him,” he said. “We’ve been tracking him for some time and with interest from other clubs in Europe, we’re delighted he has chosen to embark on the next stage of his career with Aberdeen. “He’s made a real impact in the last 18 months in Australia, particularly with his goal contribution and assists and he’s been a consistent figure in the goal charts in the league. “He’ll bring good physicality and as a left footed, right sided winger, he is the profile of a player we don’t currently have in the squad. “His energy and creativity will add a different dimension, and we look forward to welcoming him to Aberdeen this summer.” The Australian U23 international has been a key figure for Wanderers, showcasing his versatility and maturity in various wide midfield and attacking roles. His arrival will provide added competition and depth to the squad for 2025/26. “I’m really excited to join Aberdeen,” said Nicolas. “It’s a Club with a great history and a passionate fanbase and I’m eager to experience all that Scottish football has to offer. “I’m eager to test myself in a new environment and contribute to the team’s desire to deliver to success. I can’t wait to get started at Pittodrie and be part of the manager’s long-term plans.” With the pre-contract agreement agreed, Nicolas will link up with his new teammates for pre-season training in late June.

A damning statistic. Tims actually had four starting as well Finally time for Alan Gow to sign on

Quick check of top 6 games last night and United were highest with 4 Scots in starting line up. Rest all had less.

We’ve been through this before with Lewis. He went from being a great keeper to crumbling behind a shit defense. I think he’s good enough but fair question I suppose, but we’ve been so bad defensively it certainly affects your keeper negatively.

Celtic have scored five goals or more against 10 different teams this season. They're too good for Scottish football at the moment. Yes we can play much better than tonight, but they're spanking everyone. We would probably have had more chance tonight had they played their strongest team. Instead they played a side desperate to impress, and for a "reserve" side I think nine of them would be starters for us. If we beat United then win the cup, the job he has on his hands is still the same. We started the season with arguably a worse squad than last season following the loss of Miovski and Barron. Whether you rated Barron or not, his departure still weakened our midfield, we haven't replaced him, and we certainly haven't found another Miovski yet. People say Thelin has thrown money at the squad, but he's had to because cheap signings were not going to improve us, but it doesn't necessarily mean all the problems would be fixed in one season. He's spent most of that money on the defence. It was poor tonight and at Ibrox, but I think most can see that Tobers-Knoester are an improvement on Rubezic-Molloy. Nilsen's loss is hitting us harder than expected. The other two big money signings - Jensen and Keskinen - I think will eventually do well for us. But we need a left back, a Barron replacement, a McGrath replacement (hopefully Milanovic is it) probably two strikers if Nisbet doesn't stay and an attacking midfielder. Basically half a team. Change the manager if you like. Jump in at the 11th hour and get McInnes, go get Stephen Robinson, fuck it offer Kjell Knutsen the universe. But they'll all need at least another two transfer windows.

I’m going with the assumption it was reverse psychology today, be total shite so they underestimate us in the final?

They must love playing us. Easiest games of the season for them.
