I think that only tends to happen when VAR thinks a mistakes been made so wouldnt read into that at all. Otherwise the ref would be going over to the monitor several times per game.

The ref as the final arbiter gets the blame but really with all the tools at his/her disposal a VAR official has or shouldn’t have any hiding place.

Admittedly our domestic home form is pretty incredible in recent seasons but Livingston showed how to play at Ibrox against a Rangers team low on confidence. I think Aberdeen had a massive chance to get something against a team with a growing injury list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video refs actually looking for a still to send him off. The ref should have used common sense and stuck with his original opinion. Maybe a yellow but even would have been harsh.

I think Aberdeen had a massive chance to get something against a team with a growing injury list. I just said so didn't I? Rangers are 1 point behind celtic in the league and already in the sem final of one of the three major trophies. They're taking a spanking in Europe which is not surprising considering the CL is in a universe of its own, its beyond the level of rangers and celtic. Against Livingtson Rangers had 80% possession and 24 attempts on goal compared to livingstons 5 attempts on goal, on any other day Livingston get their arse handed to them. Rangers are not in crisis, they've had a minor set back domestically. So many Aberdeen and rangers fans bought into this nonsense that rangers were there for the taking, rangers returning to form some how makes it a bottle job for aberdeen 🤣🤣🤣 Edited October 30, 2022 by vanderark14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I watched it with almost no emotion, even when we scored All things considered I think we've reached a point where interviews are postponed on the run up to Celtic & Rangers games - We never ever learn.....

Motherwell have shown how to handle the ticket allocation issue sensibly over the last few years. Just sell section by section till you reach saturation point then return unsold tickets. Others such as the Hibby cunts have not, which lead to legitimate gripes from fans who go every week but then are faced with empty seats when they can’t get a ticket, that’s surely unfair however much you hate us?I don’t know anyone who has an issue 50/50 splits for a cup final just distribute them properly. I’ve said before I don’t care which stand I’m in and the whole thing about dressing rooms is beyond me. However if clubs are so concerned by the optics of it they should press the matter. I’m not aware of that ever happening but in any case it doesn’t give any advantage on the pitch as far as I’m concerned. Listen no one ever wants the Sunday game in these instances, that’s just fans wanting to play as close to 3pm on a Saturday as possible. However if you think Celtic/Rangers fans aren’t as inconvenienced by some of these decisions you are mistaken. Consider the thousands who travel from the Highlands and Islands, Ireland and England. There are buses from London, Essex and Coventry at every Celtic game home and away , 3am starts, missed boats and overnight stays are not uncommon. I guess it just depends how committed you are. Your main contention appeared to be that the authorities had conspired to restrict the numbers of Aberdeen fans coming down for the game and I still think that’s fantasist nonsense but obviously we’re not going to agree. Now I’m off to watch (probably) 90 minutes of torture at the Spaghettihad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced by a few of the signings aberdeen made, especially the captain. Its amazing how many times he just watches the ball in his own box. Richardson is beyond hopeless, he was maybe signed from Nottingham Forest but he was playing English conference football last season, he's never good enough. Not that any of it matters because the SPFL Premiership is a joke league now, sorry I mean it's a bigger joke than it was before. It's honestly fascinating to see soany people continue to go week in week out, especially those outwith the old firm.
