I truly love Howe but it’s getting harder and harder to justify his position when we perform like this. I watched the match in a pub (a local where I persuaded the landlord to put the Newcastle match on the big screen given there were 3 matches at once) and the Mackems match was behind me. Everyone else was cheering for spurs to go down. It was so painful especially as I’m wearing a 98 classic broon ale shirt when our lads are god awful.
I just can’t see who else would do better for us though? It’s the players who lack any kind of energy so why should the manager go?

I’m really sad about it @Brightbluesomething but something needs to change and unfortunately we can’t detonate the squad.

That really was some comeback by Rangers today. 😍

🤮🤮as an Aberdeen fan seeing them get anything goes against the grain.

Should've added nothing against your other team Arbroath👍😁

I think we all have a soft spot for Arbroath and their pies thanks to Tarkan

i wonder if their social media manager registers the number of hits they get from Germany to check the results?

Agreed - I always enjoy @Tarkan's weather and pie reports from Gayfield 😊

Haha thanks guys. 😁 If I ever do get to speak to them over the social media hits from outside the town I should probably admit a good few are thanks to this group. 😁🤣

@Tarkan I love the thought of some Arbroath intern getting promoted because suddenly the social media is getting hits from all over the UK 😂

Now want one of your pies...

Manchester United actually getting a correct decision against them, bleating as usual. I suppose after all the favourable decisions when Alex Ferguson was manager, your viewpoint is somewhat skewed.

Leeds look like they will stay up, increases the chances of Spurs being relegated.

Hair pulling is now a straight red, they have nothing to complain about.

Michael Keane got a 3 match ban.

I can't believe that Slot didn't start Rio. It was their only hope.

Ooh, I think VAR fucked up with that red card. They didn't look at all the angles.

Which match?

Atleti Barca

Thanks, I am kind of following the other match on bsky with an eye on the Derby.

Glad I chose this match after initially tuning in to the Liverpool match only to find Prime wanking themselves silly over Liverpool.

No score draw tonight. It’s not enough with some tough games ahead.

If we don’t win anything this season does Arteta need to go?

You sound like twatter/bluesky....

Well, officially out of play off contention now I think. 1-1 and another late goal conceded.

So frustrating. We played well, had an onside goal disallowed and Cardiff's goal allowed looked offside!

For future reference, with Prime you can choose to turn off the commentary and only hear the stadium sound. It's usually the more palatable option, I find, whoever is playing.

No.

I remember the dark days...

This was before the game had even started...
