Aberdeen 1-1 Rangers: immediate post-match reaction

Eck warns against despondency after Rangers drop two points at Pittodrie. He has to make so many excuses for the players, his actual match analysis doesn't start til 14 minutes in. Been that kinda day.

Always enjoy your match reactions, just wish the volume was louder on your end. You still using the beetle microphone?

I appreciated the sk lokeren-sokler-jim bett puzzlement as i often also get confused along similar lines.

The point about the comparative fuxtures this weekend is well taken, but this quarter rangers must visit hearts hibs and celtic while away games v rangers aberdeen hibs and hearts were negotiated by celtic in the first quarter.

Perhaps confidence and caution each have their place, but not if the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.

Look at this way it could have been worse Celtic could have won yesterday !

WE BOTTLED IT AGAIN WHEN THE PRESSURE WAS ON That's Two Points dropped and a chance to reduce the points between us and them the first half was fkn Awful Especially the goal we conceded After The Exact Same ball was played earlier And if it wasnt for the Aberdeen Player making A hash of his finish And the brilliant save from Butland Again then i know this is obvious but it could have been a whole lot worse, Barrasic was fkn Awful It was like watching A Beale Game in that First half passing side to side and back instead of getting the ball forward the second half a lot better but we were not clinical enough they had two clear chances and they score one of them we had umpteen chances and couldn't take them that was the big difference today and the defence they fought tooth and nail defending their box They Punt Two long balls forward and We Don't deal with them its awful defending
If we play like we did in the first half in this game 🎉 then i fear the worst in the cup final
I'm stiil fkn raging mate even after over ten hours after the game but we have to put it behind us and move on to the game on Thursday And hopefully get back to playing the kind of football before the International Break which i think came at a bad time for us So here's Hoping we get a good win on Thursday

How can you drop points when you actually gained one😮

‘Aberdeen are usually relegation fodder’…wow! Aside from that ridiculous comment, your comments are well balanced. Aberdeen raise their game v your mob, I agree, but your team don’t reach that same level of commitment or intensity, especially at Pittodrie. Today was a lack of intensity, heart and to a large extent competence. Aberdeen will win the league cup, in my opinion.

Serial 'pressure bottlers' every, 'must win' game. Barasic and the rest, of the old guard, must get, gone.

[stevenmurray]

Apologist? We are just not good enough and havent been for a long time?
