Can’t defend? ✅ Can’t score? ✅ Too old and too slow in midfield?✅ Powderpuff creative players?✅ Can’t find a win?✅ A non-entity of a captain?✅ Maybe a game against Hibs is just what we need next week❓ Another defeat & I think the manager faces serious pressure

Losing 3-0 at home to St Mirren just when you think it can’t get any worse…13 league games without a win is worse than the very worst of the Glass Goodwin and Robson eras. Forget Europe. Staying in the top half looks ambitious now. Worrying. Very very worrying.

I don’t think it’s panicking to wonder whether Aberdeen might be drawn into that relegation play off spot. Can’t see us getting much from the Hibs, Dundee & Kilmarnock matches coming up & at this rate we could be out of the top half by next weekend. 🎢

Poor Ange being found out for the flat track bully and incredibly arrogant manager that he is. Easy to look like a top manager when you’ve got a far bigger budget than everyone else in the league and your main rival is in turmoil…see also Stevie G, Brendan…

First gig of 2025 and it was a cracker. The wonderful brownbear with his incredible backing singers and a string quartet. Indie Soul perfection. Fantastic vocals, harmonies & arrangements and loved the new song. 🎸🎹🎻🎤

A very sensible Aberdeen team imo. Good to see Clarkson, Shinnie & Nisbet “rested”. Keskinen & Okkels should benefit from sitting it out. Midfield of Polvara Palaversa & Nilsen one I am keen to see. Good to see Jensen & Tobers start. A make or break start for Ambrose. #standfree #COYR

The morning after that 2-1 Rangers game at Pittodrie feels like a lifetime ago. Riding high & 9 points clear of Rangers. We are now closer to the relegation play off spot than we are to Rangers in second place. Absolutely baffling.

Maybe expectations got carried away with the great start but think we just have to write this off as a transitional season. Bonus if we qualify for Europe. Every chance we slip into the bottom half. We will find a way to score and win eventually….

Anyone starting to worry that Jimmy has bitten off more than he can chew and is out his depth at Aberdeen? Still 100% behind him of course but this run is increasingly baffling & he just can’t get a reaction from them. Cant even get the basics right. Worrying.

Jim B ⭐️⭐️🏃🏼‍♂️💙🎸🧮🎭🎫✈️📸 @jim-b-71.bsky.social · 15/01/2025
12 winless games. 4 points from 36. Don’t expect a result there but the lack of reaction from Aberdeen is the bigger worry. A shameful collapse. Creating nothing. No legs in the middle of the park and comic cuts from Nilsen. Surely we can’t Darvel it again at the weekend?

Jim B ⭐️⭐️🏃🏼‍♂️💙🎸🧮🎭🎫✈️📸 @jim-b-71.bsky.social · 15/01/2025
What on earth is Nilsen doing? Embarrassingly poor. Up there with Ruby for schoolboy errors the last few months. A liability. I would hook him now.

Sure Rab C Nesbitt could do as good a job in this Aberdeen team as Kevin Nisbet. One of the least effective & impactful strikers I’ve ever seen in our team. Should be sent packing back to Millwall this week. Not the answer. Ditto Duk.

Some positives at least. A clean sheet. Didn’t lose. McGarry’s best performance to date. Tobers looked good. Palaversa decent. Keskinen had the makings of a real star. Doohan excellent. Find a striker & creative spark and no reason we can’t make Europe.

Lucky to escape with a point. Lack of composure quality urgency & creativity in that second half as surprising as it was poor. Far too pedestrian & slack all over the pitch. 4 points in 33 is catastrophic form in this league. Okkels being given 79 mins just baffling.

Jim B ⭐️⭐️🏃🏼‍♂️💙🎸🧮🎭🎫✈️📸 @jim-b-71.bsky.social · 12/01/2025
Decent first half from McGarry. Solid enough at the back and has shown more pace & directness going forward today than Mackenzie has in months.

Jim B ⭐️⭐️🏃🏼‍♂️💙🎸🧮🎭🎫✈️📸 @jim-b-71.bsky.social · 12/01/2025
Just not clicking in the final third but a better first 45 & more solid at the back. Polvara & Morris on for Okkels & Clarkson please. A very winnable match.

Trying to stay positive. Still in a great league position. Polvara could be our best option at centre back. Saw a spark & hunger in the 2nd half that’s been missing for weeks. Desperately need a few new faces to get us moving again. #coyr #standfree

Insipid horrible amateurish stuff from Aberdeen. Topi apart would happily bin this entire group. Passing from Nilsen & Palaversa highland league stuff. Schoolboy stuff from Rubi & MacDonald. Duk a waste of a shirt. At this rate finishing top 6 is at risk. Shocking stuff

Bit of a niche post I know but incredibly impressed with the turnaround time from HM Passport Office. Applied for new passport on 20 December & it arrived on 31 December using standard service. Given there were 2 weekends & 2 public holidays in that period that’s outstanding.👏🏻⭐️

Not quite up there with Darvel or Stenhousemuir but meekly surrendering a near 20 point lead over Dundee United has to feature amongst the all-time lowlights of following Aberdeen FC. We seem to specialise in killing the feel-good factor. Always guaranteed to disappoint.

Hurts to admit but Dundee Utd 3rd on merit. Goodwin signed 13 journeymen pros in the summer & getting far more out of them than our serial losers at Pittodrie. Fair play to him. They will take some catching.

He’s quickly found out how poor a squad he inherited but the inability of Thelin to get a reaction from this lot or to be able to change the flow of any games since October is pretty alarming. Time to ditch the mild mannered stay humble crap & tear a strip off this spineless lot.

Jim B ⭐️⭐️🏃🏼‍♂️💙🎸🧮🎭🎫✈️📸 @jim-b-71.bsky.social · 02/01/2025
Let’s hope we have a few new faces in before Sunday. Instead of looking at second place we’re at risk of slipping to fourth tonight. Unforgivable if we blow the lead we had built up over our rivals for Europe. Shinnie Mackenzie MacDonald Duk Clarkson & McGrath get in the bin.

1 win in 10 in this league is relegation form. Let’s just be grateful we started the season so strongly and are still in the driving seat for Europe. In spite of the players’ best efforts it’s still in our gift. Let’s hope the board backs the manager & we replace the many duds.

Better performance but got what we deserved. Lots of good possession but created very little, soft defending crosses and lacking in leaders and urgency. Major rethink and investment in this squad required. Unforgivable blowing the lead we had over fourth place.

Wonder if Clement will be complaining about VAR this week. Butland got out of jail for that punch into his own net. Never a foul in a million years. Keepers need to be stronger and command their boxes. A very lucky boy today.

Just watched the Aberdeen highlights. Grim viewing. Hopefully ends the Angus MacDonald revisionism. At fault to some extent at all 4 goals imo. Clarkson once again turning an Aberdeen attack into an opposition goal for their third. Keep Mitov Devlin & Topi & bin the rest.

Does anyone remember when Aberdeen were good? Feels like it was a parallel universe. Shinnie McGrath & Mackenzie honking. Mitov shaky too. Struggling to see where the next win is coming from at this rate. We are so easy to play against. Only 2 or 3 players with pass marks so far.
