To be honest, i'm surprised he didnt sack him before he did. Kenny was far too outspoken for him. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bute-killiefan Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 We took a team with a much higher budget to penalties in a cup replay. We have punched above our weight and cannot wait until next season when Clarke has the chance to bring his own players and we can right this wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to remember the start of our season and how numb I'd gotten to it. This is the first time I've been this upset as us losing in a long long time, I think that tells you something.

For the past five seasons the actual football has often been an interruption to an otherwise good day out with my pals, to the point that the main discussion point we'd have during some games is how many goals down we'd have to be before we left for the pub. "Numb" is exactly the word, and it's strange rediscovering how gutting it is to have been so close. I'm desperate for this revolution to continue so we can see what Clarke can achieve with a full season and more of his own personnel. Hoping that involves getting it right up Graeme Shinnie at some point, the fud. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfc_superteam Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Yup. Having come so close and knowing that we actually had a real chance of winning the whole thing is what is the thing that is the gut wrencher. The team could have not done much more. I think the last few weeks took the toll on the players and we have done amazingly to be undefeated in all of those. We only lost last night on penalties. Hope now we can push on and get top 6 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraz65 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) There aren't many downsides to winning the Scottish Cup but trying to hang on to Steve Clarke in the summer if we had triumphed would have been very difficult. The exposure he would have received, in addition to the dramatically improved league position, would undoubtedly have attracted interest from England. At least this defeat makes it more likely that he'll still be here next season. Edited March 15, 2018 by fraz65 -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Contrary to what others seem to be saying I thought only the one penalty - Greg's - was truly bad. The other two while inviting the possibility of a save by being at middling height would have been goals 7 or 8 times out of ten but Woodman guessed right and made great saves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brophy's was decent, although I've never been a fan of the short run up. Taylor's was embarrassing, that was 100% the worst. If you go down the middle you go high... never low! Greg's was at a perfect height for the keeper, but at least he picked a side. Credit to Woodman for saving it. I don't blame three young blokes for standing up and having a go though. It was the other experienced players that hid from taking the kicks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 (Woodman) said: “Penalties seem to follow me wherever I go. I’ve come out on top in a few now and hopefully it can stay like that during my career. “I was positive we would win in normal time but as soon as the whistle went at the end of extra time my mind was focused and I was confident. Our boys did well by scoring theirs to help me out and it feels great. “I’ve got friends in the Kilmarnock team that I spent a lot of time with, so I’m a little bit disappointed for them but I’m an Aberdeen player now and I’m happy to be through to the semi-finals. “Goalkeepers don’t practise penalties. If anything we hate them. At training players want to do penalties all the time and it does my head in as it means diving about everywhere. “I’ve tried studying penalty takers, I’ve guessed at penalties, I’ve tried everything. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. This time it was a win.” (Press & Journal) That's about the best you could expect him say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
