@ScotlandSky@SkyFootball Why was referee not shown the straight on angle at 1min 18sec of clip?
Clear as day he's headed the ball away from that footage.
Yet VAR and assistant decided definite penalty 🤥
@Aberdeenpure 'Two goal striker'
Do we ignore the other couple of assists/goal involvements?
The turn of pace that got x2 opponents sent off v Hibs and Motherwell? Fouled at Livi away for 2nd. Celtic home the pen.
Made more of a contribution than others in final games.
@mrewanmurray@GrahamSpiers "The Laws of the Game require the referee to signal the end of the match, but do not prescribe the method of signal...
... the match official clearly communicated the match was ended and not abandoned."
How did he 'clearly communicate' to 22 players with 500+ fans on pitch?
@GrahamSpiers So effectively in any 'added on time' in the future, fans could invade the pitch for up to 37 seconds to help run the clock down?
Thus ending the match.
@ee_sport Aberdeen started the Dunfermline Cup tie with x8 Scottish players. 2 other players inc Mitov plenty experience in Scotland.
Lost 3 0.
Why such the big drive for Scots?
@AberdeenFC Interesting list of teams from minor countries such as Bosnia or Malta, and lots of teams from the 2nd and 3rd tier of English, Dutch and Spanish football

@FreeNwakali Aberdeen have won once in 13 league games. Might now also get a new manager bounce.
'Mental' or 'insanity' - when 6 other coaches/interim managers/youth coaches/DOFs haven't managed since Thelin sacked?
@AFCHereWeGo Some data re his St Mirren side- (which you'd have assumed we'd have considered)
1 win in 13 league games.
0 wins in 11 away league games.
2 draws at Livi (bottom) and 1 up here.
Alarming stuff.
A toxic atmosphere in the away support for most of game.
A dreadful display from the Aberdeen team in their defence of the cup.
That 11th spot is a real risk now...
@BBCchrismclaug Is your data correct in this? The percentages seem wrong.
Eg:
"In the SPFL, players challenge for the ball in the air, on average, 42.5 times per match - a 71% increase on France's Ligue 1, at 28.5 times per match."
Isn't the difference 39% here? 14 times more per game.
@BBCSportScot For context, under McInnes at Aberdeen - When Hearts, Rangers, Hibs all spent a large amount of time out of top league.
Look at this league table from early 2015.
A top flight with Hamilton, ICT, Partick, Ross C helped him.
