Madden tried to keep the ball running allowing advantage. It was just unfortunate for him Aberdeen couldn't keep the ball.

Yes he did but failed to act properly when both McGregor and Stewart were "attacked" off the ball,yes yellow cards were issued but IMO both should have been red as ball was nowhere near when the kicks were made,that's my gripe with ref.

McGinns challenge on Morelos first half was the worst of the lot

This was a day when the gulf in quality was so clear to see that it was almost embarrassing to think that this is allegedly the third best the SPL has to offer. The sheep view is that it's all McInnes fault for not 'having a go' which is absurd.

 

They really think that coming at us would have made a difference? Actually it would have because the score may have hit double digits if they did. Even the yahoos came to Ibrox to sit back to some degree.

I don’t think Aberdeen are the 3rd best team in the league any longer

The one on McGregor was no more than a yellow and, in fact, McGregor needs to rein in the histrionics whenever anyone gets near him.

 

McGregor absolutely made a meal of it, but it did deserve a yellow.

 

Worst foul of the game IMO was a straight studs by McGinn in Morelos.

The McGregor incident was nothing to write home about.Some of his antics are cringeworthy at times. Such a great keeper doesn't need to engage in histrionics like than today.

Wouldn't disagree but wonder who would be given how bad the remainder are even as a collective. The 10 below us combined couldn't have collectively field a team to live with us today.

Who do we even care about the “10 below us” ?  Our aim is, and should be, the one above us.

Didnt we half dodge a bullet with not getting McInnes as a manager! And that ship will have sailed permanently.

I doubt anyone around here and I certainly don't care about the 10 below outside our results against them and at this point I feel basking in how much better than them we are is just part of the current mood. At the end of the day it's possible most of our chances to overtake the one above will come against the 10 below as it did today.

Being that much better than the rest is something I have been pining for over the past 7 years and enjoying a feeling of having come a very long way on the road back to where we should be. Today enhanced the feeling
