Instead of the usual criticism of officials what would be better is to look at the bodies that set the rules that the officials have to interpret. I challenge anybody to referee in today's environment but just remember we have VAR because fans and clubs couldn't accept the referees decision in the first place. You reap what you sow ??

Probably checking build up to it took time but i agree it seems far to long

Fair enough, maybe should have checked that Still, issue lies with players. Hopefully they turn up with the same level of fight and attitude tomorrow, that they have displayed all season. Total joke of a squad.

The problem at Aberdeen is not Warnock. Its players and board and probably the vast majority of it is with players. They lost to Darvel that tells you where the issue is. No excuses for them, in a corporate environment they'd be managed out a long time ago. Warnock has been a success virtually everywhere he has been. He may seem a maverick in the media but he's a shrewd operator. No idea why he even bothered with Aberdeen at his age. Never really spend a lot of time listening to Miller on football matters. Hopefully they maintain their form tomorrow and we can get another win.

Which makes me wonder why we play Jamieson. I know Jamieson is young and has potential but at the moment he is just not good enough. The difference when OIusanya came on was there for all to see. Scott is a quality player who has suffered with injury and his mother was seriously ill also, thankfully from what i last heard was much improved. That said he needs to get back to where he was or he is going to waste a serious amount of talent!

I thought it was Greg Aitken on VAR tonight ??? Grant Irvine was ref on Sat

Agree with all of that. Perfect

Scott has been poor but he was player at Motherwell and needs to get back to that. The real issue for me is why Jamieson was given a deal !

Aye he is a good football manager and it stops there

So it depends IMO on whether you want to outlaw that type of challenge that Bolton and Sterling both did. For me Sterling's is a stonewall red as he is out of control and flying in at speed, caught the player on toes but it could have been way worse, so definite red. For Bolton if the instruction is to outlaw that type of challenge then yes a red, otherwise i would say yellow. I would say that the instruction from the top is to outlaw that type of challenge. Bolton needs his backside kicked btw. I thought Don Robertson was 100% correct to stick with his on field decision and overrule Greg Aitken (surprised Robertson was even asked although with Greg Aitken maybe not !). I agree with you on McLean only sticking with his decision based on what Robertson did previous night.

First time I can remember our pitch being questioned so maybe something has changed ?

He is meant to wait till that phase of play is finished i.e. a goal ? For me linesman followed correct procedure but got the decision wrong. Not easy running the line despite how easy many fans think. In this case VAR is a plus !

I think he just took a shot at goal and Carson made a complete @rse of it. Nothing to do with the surface. Docherty moaning about our pitch and penalties is pathetic and probably gamesmanship trying to influence referees in future games. The problems are in his dressing room and nowhere else

Its bull, he suddenly found out last night that his team will not be top 6. We were streets ahead of them even when we have a bit more in us. Really good run of fixtures on paper coming up. Looking at Killie's we have a much easier run to the split. Its St Mirren though and we all know what that means !!

Got to build on this by beating Dundee. Fixtures coming up are decent so good opportunity to get on a run
