Not even close.
Possibly, but I’m struggling to think of any. That was completely inept.Quote:

We could still be playing now and I doubt we’d have mustered up a chance.
61% possession. No we didn't create a thing but there have been some horrendous performances up there when we've been under the cosh for most of the game. I still maintain that it was no better or worse then quite a few of our performances this season. We're not all that good.Quote:

Lennon at Kilmarnock, Hecky at Motherwell, Yogi at St Johnstone just off the top of my head were far, far, worse than that last night. That isn't even in the top 100. Massive overreaction.Quote:

It’s like Terry Butcher never happened.
It’s also like Colin Calderwood never happened,rank 99% of the time! hopeless all the time.Quote:

I usually detest the international break but I’m glad and looking forward to the Scotland game.
John Collins took a team up there, played Kevin McCann at centre half, and i think the match stats that day showed 30+ attempts on goal by Aberdeen.
I presume you’re not very old if that’s in your top 3 worst performances 🤣Quote:

Dunno why probably the lyric “I wasn’t really sure what was going on” but this song came to mind... https://youtu.be/0sajngb0W6I
I would imagine a lot of Hibs fans have their own view of the worst performances. Actually one of the very worst that I saw was in a game we didn't lose, against Dundee at ER. Simon Stainrod was the player manager for Dundee. I think it was either late 80's or early 90's. It was absolute pants.
Some of the games in the Championship winning season were utter horse *****
Not just that season. Every season down there has some brutal games against terrible sides.Quote:

The whole of the 1980s was worse than last night.
Agreed.Quote:

Maybe, but Fenlon was still *****. About as good a Hibs manager as Bobby Williamson.Quote:

You’ve obviously not been a fan for too long if that’s in your top 3. Considering some of our humiliations at the hands of Hearts, you have got to be at the wind up.Quote:

So far in the second cycle of fixtures we have collected the same number of points from the same teams so all is not lost
The biggest humiliation of all was the absolute pounding hearts took on their own turf when the Tornadoes put seven past them without reply.Quote:

I really like their young player Hedges. Think he has a big future ahead.
Whoah! We’re on the same side and I really don’t get your point? Last night wasn’t even close to being one of our worst performances as the OP states, so why the dig at me? It was a crap result yes, but FFS let’s stick together. ☹️Quote:

As has been said, 61% possession is an irrelevant stat when you do nothing with the ball, it’s worse than irrelevant. Ten years ago when Spain and Barca were passing everyone to death it was a useful stat, now when most successful teams press high and attack high speed and on the counter, it often shows which teams have run out of ideas and are passing it sideways.Quote:

Sure they took 4 off us only a few years back under Lennon. But comparing varying level of pish-ness doesn’t really achieve that much TBH.
However! I propose a 4-0 mid-90’s defeat at Dens Park under Alex Miller, who when the 4th went in took off a striker for a defender - damage limitation!!
Yes u could be right. The 0 1 at Killie made my eyes bleed. Some say its a good team that plays poorly and wins but the same could be said of a lucky one surely.Quote:

I laugh when people claim performances these days are the worst in their lifetime, I just then assume these posters are 10 years old!
Some folk don't know they are born, I think back to a 4 hour bus journey to Aberdeen in December (1984 I think it was), the windows blowing open and snow coming in, drinking utter pi55 water and nicking my nob on the can when bursting and getting pi55 on my hands and jeans, then stumbling over and down the snow covered hill to Pittodrie in horizontal snow to then sit/stand in conditions I cannot describe to anyone who wasn't there to be pumped 2-0...... then do all the above but in reverse for the home journey, we nearly never made it home!

Worst at Aberdeen for me was actually the season we finished third ahead of them and got horsed three or four nil that or the game Maka kicked it against their player and Hong Kong Thiery got sent off.
To be honest, other than the result, that misery sounds like entirely your own fault :greengrinQuote:

The pornstar scored the first. I forgot he went to them. 🤣
Aye Aberdeen on Friday wasn’t even near the worst up north.
Cup loss to Ross County and hammered in the pissing sleet 3-0 in Inverness was a lot lot worse also. Worst days ever.
Always bemused me too. Absolutely clueless managerQuote:
