Aberdeen

[Monts]

I was just following the text updates, but it seemed like killie were unlucky not to score, but it means Aberdeen have squeezed another 1 0 win.

With the gap opened up to 5th, it's looking likely its going to be a straight fight between us in the league.

Who are their games in hand against?

Home to Hamilton and away at Celtic

They really are jammy buggers that we lost Gogic against them. He very well could have been the difference.

It's quite incredible how often they manage to eek out wins like that. I would envy them if it wasn't so mind numbing to watch.

Think the empty stadiums suit them, their fans can’t get on top of them

This is exactly the conundrum they must have as fans.

They are literally the worst team in the league to watch, and that is not said with an ounce of exaggeration. 100% genuine

They find a way, but it's never pretty. Must be dull as sh*t to follow week in week out. All for what? To get punted out of Europe at the 1st/2nd time of asking? Haha no thanks.

The thing is, we were so bad in the 2nd half I'm not sure if Gogic would have made that much of a difference. Maybe, maybe not.

For sure

Tactics - score a goal then hang on to the lead any way possible with dour, dirty football.

[weecounty hibby]

They suffocate football. Horrible team to watch and probably why even after being best of the rest for the last few years and in a one team area their coeds are not that great. Not sure if pay to watch that every week

[Sir David Gray]

They're masters at scoring first then snuffing out the rest of the match and probably why they'll finish 3rd again.

I'd genuinely be happier seeing us finish 4th and play decent football.

[Chorley Hibee]

Sorry, but we can kid ourselves on as much as we like, the truth is we'd be delighted if we could do the same.

It would certainly be a lot more profitable to the club as a whole.

[hibsbollah]

Quite a goal from Rory McRorie or Edie McReady or whatever his name is.

I’m not sure tbh. They very rarely have stand out feel good results. Bottle it 9/10 against the old firm and have only won one cup.

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

Technical question:!if McCrorie is only on loan and suddenly became a threat to Rangers, could they recall him from his loan?

[SMAXXA]

I actually have started to detest McInnes and Aberdeen

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

They are an absolute dirge

I dont understand this phrase. How can they bottle it against teams that are much better than them?

Surely you bottle it when you choke in a big match against a team you are better than?

Aberdeen usually beat the teams they are better than, snd loase against the teams they are worse than.

It’s telling that despite consistently finishing in the top 3-4 for the past 8 seasons their attendances and season tickets sales continue to fall

With Hearts otherwise indisposed in a swamp of idiocy of their own making, the Dons seem to be pushing for the vacancy of a much loathed, boring-but-spawny nemesis.

You'd assume the uglies are battling it out for first, while ourselves and Aberdeen are in a straight fight for third.

It's a shame, because you associate Aberdeen with (often dirty, but) flair teams, and the current breed under McInnes have settled for the Jambo mold of grind out wins on the teams with lower wage bills and try to compete in one-off's with the OF. As a model for success in Scottish football goes, its pretty effective. It ain't half boring though.

He can’t play against them so no real threat. Aberdeen simply don’t turn up against the huns anyway. A loan with option to buy usually means the player is away and will not return to the parent club.

It’s not an option but an obligation though. Aberdeen must pay for him at the end of the season.

Well, I wouldn't put that on the same level.

If you had to choose one player who you absolutely could not lose in that game it would have been Gogic. Not sure they would've chosen their goalkeeper.

I was really surprised they had got Alnwick at St Mirren, id heard a lot about him at newcastle and he was supposed to be the next big thing coming through at England U21. Turned out the Alnwick at St Mirren is actually his brother! Zak not Ben. Doesnt mean hes not still a decent keeper of course.

I'm fairly certain they would have, he's been their player of the year so far apart from maybe Tait

Not to mention the fact that Zlamal was weak for arguably every goal

Aberdeen are not pleasing on the eye for sure, but they are indeed the masters at closing down a game and grinding out a win.

McIness is tactically astute and his results against Hibs speak for themselves. He has his team focus on nullifying Hibs offensive players, and he knows if Aberdeen scrape a goal they're unlikely to lose.

Certainly effective tactics, but I don't think many Hibs fans would be able to stomach watching such negative football week in week out.
