Some people need to have a reality check. We lost a game and aren't playing as well as we should be but surely this makes for a more exciting season and hopefully a decent challenge for the title. Personally I would rather this than be out of site by Christmas and who knows maybe we won't have to listen to the media telling us that without that lot the league is a one horse race. Who knows with a more exciting title race we might start filling the stadium again.

I can't see how playing poorer football is somehow going to fill the stadium, it's certainly a novel idea.

So spark74 why do some people need a reality check? And Gerry is right,how can playing garbage football make people want to come and watch the games! The reality is that since Ronnie came in we've went backwards! And he said himself said judge him In a year! Well here we are a year later,knocked out the CL once again with the chance to be 8 points behind by the time the final whistle goes in the Aberdeen game on Sunday! That's the reality mate! And this isn't just about one game! And I don't see how us looking a shambles every time we step on the park can lead to an exciting season!

That's an interesting approach, let have a poorer team so we get beat more and the league race is closer. Maybe this is one of Ronnie's innovative approaches because no other team I have heard of does this. There is no need for a reality check, reality is right in front of your nose, we are getting worse each year and we now have a manager who is out of his depth

Aberdeen have got better though. I for one welcome a challenge.
15 Sep 2015 12:07:33
Thought some fool would disagree. Not terribly pleased with the football at the moment no, but a lot of people are like spoilt brats if we don't win every game 5-0. Would that not get a wee bit boring after a while?

JimTim, I remember fans moaning about the style under Lennon. I remember the fans moaning about the style under Strachan(me included).
If at the end of this season things haven't change then I might even be calling for Ronny's head but right now it's just a typical kneejerk reaction after a couple of bad games.
15 Sep 2015 12:47:25
Jim Tim I think u'll find your the one who's looking foolish! Aberdeen have got better! Utter garbage! They're the same as they were last year! Aberdeen never played well on Sunday pal! We were just pish!! And who on here comes here and acts like spoilt brats if we don't win 5-0 every game? I can't recall a single poster saying anything of the sort! And no it wouldn't get boring seeing us skelp teams every week! Was it boring when Martin oneils teams done it? It wasn't for me! So don't give me this spoilt brats pish! We're lucky if we had 5 shots on goal between the Malmo and Aberdeen game,never mind actually winning a game 5 nil! The only reason there's a challenge from Aberdeen is because how far we've slipped back! It's as simple as that! And like I said,if u think other wise your the fool! And a deluded one at that!!

Let's win a game 5-0 and wait to see if people find it boring before making stupid assumptions. 😉

It's not just the one league defeat (so far) - or the early exit from the CL again, that supporters are unhappy with.
There is cause for concern because the players are either going backwards or refusing to play to the managers instruction. We are all well aware that the quality of the squad is not the Celtic class of old, but look at every single player in the squad and decide how many of them are anywhere near their best form or attitude and you will agree with me that only a few of the entire squad are playing to their potential or ability.

Dh88 looks like you're confusing black and white with your beliefs again. Pal.
Aberdeen FC:
2010/11 38pts
2011/2012 41pts
2012/13 48pts
2013/14 68pts
2014/15 75pts
Notice a pattern there at all lad?

ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘ðŸ»ðŸ‘🻠good for u Jim Tim! Who gives a toss about Aberdeens stats! God is that what it's become! Lookin at the points the sheep shaggers are getting to some how justify the fact we're playin utter shite! Aberdeen are an average team at best! And no matter how many points they get this season will convince me anything else! But we still managed to make them look good even when they went down to 10 men! And u didn't answer,who on here acts like spoilt brats when we don't win 5 nil! We can't even win any Fuckn game to nil these days,never mind scoring 5 goals in one game! Open your eyes pal! If u can honestly say it's boring to win convincingly in every game we play then I'll say it again,ur deluded lad!

Given they're our main title rivals I give a toss. Sure CFC do too. Anyway it was merely a quantitative stat to show the fact Aberdeen are getting better isn't actually "garbage" at all. Even from a qualitative perspective anybody with any sense can see they have. Anyway I think the OP's comment has been taken out of context and a few words have been put in Spark's mouth.
I think the spoilt Brats are those that spit the dummy out after some bad games. Calling for a managers head at this stage. Those that can't see the wood for the trees basically. RD isn't just here for this side - yes winning along the way is important - but he's changing the very foundations, not to mention still getting his own methods across. I think there's a few players not buying in, a couple refusing to and a few more that just don't have the quality. Did NL or WGS do the business straight away? Under the current operation of the club RD is as good a chance we have of progression.
Knee jerk reaction. Too much blame on RD and the problems lie in the bigger picture and it's just being deflected. Were you not calling for PL to change or be changed? You mention not getting 5 shots at goal between Malmo and Aberdeen. We had over 20 shots though. Suppose it's all RD we couldn't hit the target though. It's all RD nobody could meet a cross.
We were flying last season. But after yet another window of insignificant invesyment or even re-investment we're going to be staggering before we walk again.
Perhaps RD is not the master tactician, perhaps he should be more about the role he was initially sounded for. You know before our last manager left (why again?) and before others turned us down (again, why?). Nobody seems to be thinking about why RD was brought in, just to get rid of him. I'd be open to perhaps somebody else coming in, if RD stepped 'back' or 'up' to a development role. But I don't see any good suggestions. I've seen Mowbray and Allardyce suggested FFS.
Would you not keep RD at the club at all? Who would you like to see made head coach?

Can we just pack in with the garbage that he is changing the foundation of the club. His job is to win matches and trophies all this talk about the club needing to be overhauled is total rubbish and is used as a deflection to cover his inadequacy. If we don't get rid of him the club will be totally changed and it will be another Tony Mowbray style debacle. These guys are brilliant at talking a good game but not so good about making it happen

"Garbage". Again, wood for the trees.
