We got out of jail after a woeful 2nd half performance. Still huge improvements required. Delighted we won, delighted the sheep will be pig sick, delighted for the 3 points but we were terrible.

Result shouldn't hide we got away with one there. Yes, we need to be patient and improvement was never going to happen overnight but that 2nd half in particular was beyond atrocious. Becoming increasingly difficult to defend the vast majority of players. We need so much more. BTW, if you get a chance listen to Willie Miller's reaction to the winner on Radio Scotland. "AWWW NAWWWW!!" https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/63652704

The red diddies have played out of their skins against us for decades. That won't change, so it's up to us to get on with it.

Sure, it wasn't great, in fact the second half was fairly dire. But it was an amazing feeling winning like that and there were a few good things to take from the game ..... Goldson's return, a revitalised Kent and a young fullback who can both attack and defend. Oh and Scotty Arfield too! I can't help thinking about all those who were counting down the seconds to Beale's first defeat, only to be left spewing at the comeback.

That horrible lot got what they deserved.

When was the last time we scored a last minute winner , never mind 2

Terrible goal to lose

Very disappointing first half for me. Disjointed in possession, again dreadful in defensive transitions and generally nowhere good enough consistently through the game. Fairly obvious many of these players are talented but too many remain well off the boil. Manager has to find a solution or we drop more points.

Sands really needs to stop that and we really need a new goalkeeper. Why is Davies not playing?

Kent can't shoot and his passing is pretty average. Hagi, Tillman and Lowry look far better suited to being a roaming forward.

I'd prefer a Klos that can kick 😉

Not really comparing apples with apples. In 1970 the world Cup was one of 2 or 3 televised football events, with 'exotic' players that were relatively unknown. Pele himself was a bit of an unknown, how often did we get to see him play? Every 4 years? (Genuine question, not a criticism, I was born in 75!). Fast forward to the absolute overdose of world football that we have now, it doesn't really have that 'special' feeling that it did in the good old days, we get to see Messi et al on a weekly basis. I've always thought it a bit bizarre that Messi was judged against Pele, Maradona etc negatively, as he hadn't won a world Cup, As if thats an individual acheivement. Indeed, even the great Pele never really tested himself domestically outside of his own country. It was an awesome world Cup in Qatar, whether it was as good as another one half a century ago is pretty much irrelevant.

Big game tonight, even great Rangers sides have struggled at Pittodrie. Here's hoping we go out there with the right attitude and get stuck in from the first whistle.

He did set up the winner.

I thought the 15mins before HT & the 15mins after HT we were particularly bad. We still seem to be having spells in games where our level seems to drop alarmingly. It was the same last week against hibz.

Refreshing to hear MB being honest in his assessment post match - a 5 out of 10 performance according to the gaffer - can't argue with that.

Relieved more than anything but MB must surely see where our problems are. We make too many basic mistakes in our play, concede goals too easily & are still too predictable. If Ben Davies was fit(& I’m not saying he wasn’t) what made him play Sands at CB? Davies is a much better CB than Sands

McCrorie has been well and truly sheep dipped...asshole.

Absolutely correct.

That push their by Wright just confirms he isn't good enough. Terrible 2nd half from Rangers

I'm trying to lay off the sauce midweek. This isn't helping.

Strange that wasn't looked at by VAR! looked a hand ball to me

That's a McGergor mistake, surely? I was worried he was standing too far to the left, and the lad still puts it past him on that side. Poor.

Tonight shows how badly GVB utilised Kent and Kamara .

Aberdeen showing more intent in the first 15 minutes than they did the whole 90 at the weekend. I am shocked! SHOCKED!

I think when people talk about it being the best final ever they mean the best last 10 minutes (of both normal and extra time). It was a pretty dull affair up to 80 minutes but that all seems to be forgotten.

I've always thought that we need an #8; someone to provide creativity and a goal-threat from deep. Recently, though, I've been thinking that a 'keeper (a sweeper 'keeper) would really solve a lot of defensive problems, while also helping us play out from the back.

Congratulation @Gonzo79 Many thanks for all the work @Rousseau

Well done to @Gonzo79 ...and to @Rousseau for brilliant organisation.

For the 2nd game in a row..... Oops @DMAAbeat me to it!

It’s the second game in a row he has set up the winner with a piece of brilliant individual skill. He may need to improve his all round game but the goal-creating ability is there for all to see.

Never in doubt 😀

Not as good as Dick Gordons 🤣

Jim Goodwin at the end hahahah his tears are priceless

Take it all back - nah I don't- got out of jail but will take it.

Saluting you Scotty Arfield, so should your dire team mates, you have pulled them out of the shite yet again

Fucking stupid, dunno how a player does that sort of thing.

Totally naive.

Big decisions lie ahead for MB. those who thought changing the manager would solve our problems are going to be very disappointed indeed

I thought we were not that bad. Aberdeen were game from jump. I don't think the team expected that. Second half...we are gonna go sideways on these fools. 3-1 Rangers.

Whatever role Kamara is playing tonight ... probably some shop-window appearance? Useless in the attacking third, lots of side-passes in the middle and at the back ... dunno. Essentially, we are a man down. Far too much fancy football without penetration, that slippery surface doesn't help either. Sakala ... you see the striker in there. If he can shoot, he will shoot.

Their goal came from a free kick caused by us giving the ball away needlessly. And it’s not the first time this happened first half. We scored then seemed to ease up for whatever reason & now they’re right back in this

I am hoping this will change with Beale having us play more narrow, meaning the "wide" players are more central with more opportunity for attempts at goal.

Think the Americans had bought Chelsea by then, so no don’t think so

Yes. I'd very much like to echo that. Well done @Gonzo79. Thanks again @Rousseaufor organising! PS When do the relegation place avatars change?

Don’t give a monkey’s toss who they sign
