Fixed it for you. Four left...a local derby against A*r, Broxburn or Celtic. Of course, it's fucking Celtic away. Ack well saves me money.
One of our own as well!!!!!
Ayr v Killie would have been a great draw
Aberdeen v Celtic was on the cards for a while
Och well. Hopefully one more game on that pitch of yours in the next round for Rangers ; )

I was watching the draw on BBC iPlayer on my phone, obviously a wee bit behind the TV as I got a WhatsApp about half way through the draw which just read "Naismith ya wee wank". Kinda knew what had happened from that point on lol...

Easy for you to say.
You did cross my mind . After the third went in I was thinking ‘please don’t get a dodgy penalty’ : ))))

I did message my mate (Rangers fan) who was at the game. If you don't laugh at your own misfortune, or in this case embarrassment, then you'd probably cry.
Seriously. Atrocious. McInnes and a good chunk of those players need to take a look at themselves.
McInnes looked absolutely fuming and rightly so. I’m sure a few players were in for a rollicking
I know he conceded 6 but McCrorie had a few decent stops. Killie just couldn’t keep the ball and he was let down by some basic errors in defence.
On the bright side I’m sure McInnes will make sure that never happens again

Does anyone seriously think that Aberdeen still have a realistic chance of the title? 7 points behind now, plus a 25 goal gap in GD, and a game more played.

Only the top 3 I think are of Premier League quality in that league, but I still find it entertaining nonetheless.

Neither Aberdeen or Rangers are near Premier League quality.
Celtic in their current group would struggle.

The thing with McInnes is that he's far from blameless but he never appears to take responsibility. The lad Bainbridge who started at LB, he's on loan from Sunderland. Hasn't kicked a ball since August, not through injury but through management choice. All of a sudden he gets thrown in out of nowhere whilst our usual LB (Ndaba) continues to be some sort of central midfield expirement which isn't going very well. It's just no way to manage a player imo.
He done similar with Fraser Murray at home to Ange's Celtic a few seasons ago. Nowhere near the squad then all of a sudden he starts him out of position against them who were flying at the time, inevitable mistakes followed with confidence in tatters.
That aside, the football itself has been woeful for the majority of the season. I can only really say that we played very well in 2 games - ironically winning neither of them. St Mirren away in the red card/var debacle and Celtic at home.
Every other game the only tactic seems to be a long ball and hope to pick up loose headers from the opposition defence. Whether that's by design or a symptom of a midfield which doesn't show for the ball or move into the right areas I don't know but it needs fixed.
