Made a fair bang it bounced up and hit a young laddie in the faceI thought it was a lump of ice falling from the FF roof as I just saw something white disappear into the FF Lower.

Well, I say to you as I repeatedly say to others: if there is a better left-back to be had then let's get him in the team. You obviously saw a different game to the one I was at. I saw Mackay-Steven beat Lewis once today, with an admittedly marvellous piece of skill late on in the game and Lewis did what I would want him to do - bring the guy down, stop him in his tracks and take the resultant booking. "Slide off into the background?" Aw, come on!Stevenson ended up with a yellow today because he got tied up in knots .
He’s been a great servant and was a great tackler , brave as a tiger , and always gave 100% but he needs to slide off into the background now .
Too one footed - Right in front of me he cut back on to his right foot - couldn’t use it so duffed an attempted outside of the left foot cross ten yards to them .
I thought you were joking . I heard a real bang but I thought it was someone kicking the side or back of the stand .Made a fair bang it bounced up and hit a young laddie in the face
Let’s start with Mackie ..fast , strong and has a wicked left foot cross and isn’t too short .Well, I say to you as I repeatedly say to others: if there is a better left-back to be had then let's get him in the team.

And to that I say Mackie will be a good player quite soon but he needs to work more on the defending part of his game. I agree with you in that he is a good prospect. I had the same argument with my mates about the laddie Crane, also good going forward but a poor defender, as was seen during the cup-tie up at Turriff. I do not dismiss your putting forward Mackie, but as a better all-round fullback, I think Lewis is still better for the team.Let’s start with Mackie ..fast , strong and has a wicked left foot cross and isn’t too short .

Are you seriously stating Lewis, who was marvellous against Celtic just 8 games ago, and more importantly against Forrest, who has seldom got the better of him, is "washed up"? Lewis is "just back" from injury, a rare occurrence in itself. I can understand your frustration after today's game, but please, let's keep our perspective here. We are playing poorly at the moment but things are retrievable, especially with what looks like a couple of decent signings. I grant Hanlon and McGregor are both going through a very rough patch but they are good players. I truly believe that we are suffering from Efe's absence in the heart of the defence. I also agree that SDG is far from the player he was but he never looks as fit as he should be, but I cannot agree that these players are finished. Marciano: I refer to last week's marvellous saves which you deemed routine.Crane is not on the same planet as Mackie ..
Lewis is washed up ..
We all need to accept it .
So is Hanlon ..
So is McGregor
And Marciano was never good enough in the first place .
Gray is also on the verge of being washed up in my opinion .
We need to be brutal - Forget emotional connections with our old favourite players and progress .
Aberdeen come to win 1-0, we scored early, so they played to win 2-1. They won 2-1. They time waste, go over too easy, con the ref, waste time again, moan, greet, cheat and just occasionally remember they have some very good players, an excellent travelling support and a very good manager. When they remember that they are awfy hard to beat. I felt the sheep were street wise, we gifted them their goals but we didn't counter them, we didn't change things, we lay down and lost in too many positions.
Think the above sums today up perfectly. Although though Milligan should’ve just left the ball to run through to Rocky for the 1st then it’s no goal (or might have been the 2nd can’t quite remember). Wee bigi in midfield looks a much better option than Bartley...looks to be a great motherwell reject. Thought Mcnulty done well when he came on chased, hurried them but we were chasing the game too much for any composure. Gauld should’ve started over Slivka. Can’t understand why we continually pump high balls into flo, he’s no good at holding the ball up. What a difference there was when we knocked the ball over the head/into space and he is charging at defenders instead of away from them. He’s not a target man.
Thought he did well today, worked his socks off and looked for the ball all game. Did you not see that he was consistently fouled from behind and got nowt from the ref?
Did you miss the 3 excellent long passes to Lewis from Milligan? A wee bit slow at times but he was my man of the match.
Yes I thought the same I couldn’t work out what had gone wrong with Milligan . I thought he was a real “find” then had a few poor games but yesterday I thought he played well . He’s an intelligent player .I'm going to agree with you.
I thought Spike had a pretty good game, assured and confident in what he was doing. A bit like he was for a few games when he first arrived and we all thought we'd found a gem!
I wonder if he's another that's got his mojo back with Neil Lennon leaving?
Flo was in a battling mood again and that was good to see. Only once I'd he throw his arms in the air looking for a foul that I didn't think was a foul. The other 200 times he was fouled and the whistle didn't go was up to the fecking referee being useless.
I have read the whole thread again, other than myself, did no one note that Sir Dave was injured early in the game, it happened right in front of me. Seems lots of people are saying he is unfit when he played the full game with an injury?
