Again, VAR got the decision correct but WHY the length of time?
Surely 30 seconds was enough to see if it was inside the box?
Probably checking build up to it took time but i agree it seems far to long

Only two of the starting eleven who lost to Darvel are still at the club . As shit as they were that day, I don’t think they can be blamed for Dons current predicament.
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.

Dons haven't won a game since Warnock took over. They were beaten by St. Johnstone last night, and Willie Miller openly criticised Warnock after that result. So, surely no better time to play them at the Smisa stadium and give them another doing like we did at Pittodrie last time we met them. And that last minute penalty they got in Paisley at the start of the season still rankles. So, as always.........
COYS!!
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.

He all but had the goal at his mercy.
I guess Scott's head may not be in a good place just now. It seems to occasionally happen to players who get injured just as they are about to fulfil their promise. It happened to Kyle McAlister when he went to Derby, he never seemed to regain confidence in his body and was reputed to not be living his best life off the park. That can happen to anyone who has money in their pocket and time on their hands. Losing a year or two of a promising career takes some getting over at a young age.
Hopefully he will be well advised by both the coaches and his agent as the next career stop may well be somewhere far less promising than Paisley.
Olusanya could be a bit of a gem if he could be more consistent. He has pace and strength and when he is flying like that he is very hard to stop.
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!

Yet again we fail to capatilise and miss out on fourth. For me, we were by far the better team without really breaking them down. That’s probably the one area where we lack quality away from home. County offered nothing apart from our mistake.
penalty decision poor, surprised that Kwon was substituted as he offered fight and creativity in midfield. Scott effort looked like someone who is devoid of confidence.
as much as they have had the plaudits and been our two best players this season but, I’m sorry, Gogic and tanser had shockers tonight!all in all I take the point as we didn’t deserve to lose the game
Agree with all of that. Perfect

Can see why Scott's back up road with that attempt at goal and not his first shocking miss
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 !

Totally agree that running a line is not easy and neither is refereeing, but week after week our "top" officials are not covering themselves in glory.
Simple things, like indicating a free-kick or throw-in with their arms (there were times last night I did not hear the whistle being blown for a foul) seems to be to much effort for them. Trudging up and down the middle of the pitch and never coming wide are my own personal pet hates. The guys in the middle in our league must be on around £1000 per match now, so they should go back to earning it.
Glad to see the club have appealed Bolton's straight red, as let's be honest McLean just wanted to follow his pal Robertson from the night before and go against the VAR recommendation.
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.

It has been better all winter in previous years though. Perfectly playable last night, just not as good as it has been.
First time I can remember our pitch being questioned so maybe something has changed ?

Did anyone notice that the linesman didn't flag at the point where Olusanya first touched the ball, as he should have. He waited until he scored and then flagged at the 18 yard line when the ball hit the net.
It's meant to be offside when you play the ball whatever the outcome and not just if it results in a goal.
It's worth saying that Boyd-Munce looks much fitter than earlier in the season and lasts the game much better
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 don't know if Mikel meant it, but the bounce in front of the keeper on that surface was exactly the right shot to take in those conditions. The ball looked as if it skidded as it bounced and it completely fooled Carson.
Either genius or good luck, but I guess the ball did what he meant it to.
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

How can he say the pitch was poor? It looked fine from where I was sitting! 😮
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

Much to be pleased about...Scott looks a find...Gogic was immense... on this we are 5th best in Scotland... and hopefully will prove this v Hibs next
Scott is a quality addition and we only have because of the influence Robbo has on him. Young guy who has lost his way a touch but he will get back to his best under Robbo and then we have a real talent

Will wait and see if Robinson can get him playing again but He has d one very little for a number of years. Slightly concerning that the manager does not even think he is fit.
Bad injury at Hull. Weight problems at Hibs. Needs to sort himself out and get back to what he is capable of. No hiding place for him with Robbo

How can he do that if he's not signed by us.
Aye we are linked with him supposedly. so if we signed him ???
We have tried to sign him already on loan previously. His mum delivers my post !

Scott played for Robinson when he was Motherwell boss but I thought he was more of a winger. I seem to recall he scored a belter against us at Fir Park when Hladky was our Goalkeeper. However, he had a loan spell at Hibernian recently and didn’t exactly do much. I would pass on him as I think we can get better.
Robinson got Main at his best for us. If he could get Scott back to his best then we have a player

What a waste of a Saturday that was. Absolutely rotten from both teams. And yet another poor ref. Why does it take Saints players 4 0r 5 touches before they pass it, they all do it, especially Ayunga and Olysanya. I know the condition were poor. But that was shocking. Poor ad for top flight Scottish football.

I agree on ref today, for me Napier isn't Premiership level and never has been.

On the game its a much better forum today than after StJ match where a number of people were losing the run of themselves.
Sometimes a losing run allows the manager to reassess which Robinson has done.
Nahmani and Small really took their chance yesterday. Both look real talents, a bit surprised given their showing yesterday that the had to wait so long.
Nahmani and Ayunga worked really well together. Nahamani reminded me a bit of Dargo with his movement and Ayunga was superb especially second half.
Small looks a real prospect if he can develop and be consistent. Looks the real emotional type so needs to keep that in check too. Only issue with him on the right hand side is that he keeps trying to shift back to his left.
Also thought Olusanya was decent when he came on. Taking a bit of a belting on here recently. Frightening pace and strength just needs to get his final ball right and improve his finishing and there is a real player in there. Not surprised Warnock rated him

Not sure why you’re just having a go at @FTOF mate. You are very much a lone voice on this one and I’m going to add my name to the list of dissenters. The ref wasn’t just bad, he was absolutely abysmal. If you are happy with that standard then you’re easily pleased.
Wasn't really having a go at him, I actually rate his contributions on here but not on refs.
Anyway defending a referee is always a lone voice position to take on any club forum.
I've done it with Steven McLean, John Beaton, Willie Collum and numerous others over the years and had the same response each time. So nothing new.
I also follow Ipswich Town very closely and contribute to their forum. Same response there if i defend a referee so its universal. Not a problem, its the world of refereeing which i used to be a part of.
I think we'll see a lot more of Calum Scott at Premiership level, hopefully next time there might be agreement. Not holding my breath on it though.

He was absolutely rotten. Like a fish out of water. How he failed to see that our first goal was over the line defies belief.
His assistants were sadly lacking too.
Let us know when these good young refs are coming through.
Let's hope you're not influential in whether they continue refereeing or not.
You've never had a positive comment to make on a ref when i've defended them in the past so was kinda expecting you comment

First half again a bit lazy. But some good play at times. 2nd half brilliant fa's, hard working should half win by more. Nahmani made a huge difference. His running in behind was superb. Ayunga 2nd half performance is what we want from him week in week out. Great 3 points. Another Ref who was woefully bad. Just another one on the SFA conveyor belt. Coys

Complete junk on the ref. I thought he was more than decent for his 2nd SPL match.
Looks a really good prospect. I noticed at the end that all the players shook his hand and appreciated his perfomance.
As for your lazy conveyor belt populist SFA bashing we have a number of really good young refs coming through. Quite encouraging, not that you will agree

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 ??
