Barry Robson offers Aberdeen FC fan apology as raging boss declares St Mirren slog 'the angriest I've been'

Raging Barry Robson read the riot to his Aberdeen players and apologised to the Red Army after their sorry St Mirren showing.

The Pittodrie faithful turned on Robson and his players again as they lost 3-0 at Pittodrie. Robson admitted it is the angriest he has been and told his under-performing players that he expects a reaction at Ross County. The Aberdeen bosssaid: “I’m angry because that’s not good enough and I have to apologise to the fans. I won’t accept that and I know they won’t accept that. The players know that as well. It’s definitely the angriest I’ve been. It wasn’t good enough all over the pitch and the players know that. We have to take responsibility for it, me as well.

“As I said to the players, you can’t serve that up on the pitch and we’re a lot better than that. We didn’t pick up second balls and were not good enough in both boxes. It surprised me, I didn’t see it coming - it really surprised me. But no excuses, there’s no excuse and I’m not having that. I told the players you can’t serve that up.”

Some of the fans chanted for their manager to go after the game but Robson is up for the fight of turning things around. Robson stated: “The pressure is always on me but I’m not thinking about that. I’m thinking about getting these players performing the way they should be.

“That wasn’t the way they performed recently before this game. They looked a yard short all over the pitch and have to be better.

“Not every game is going to be perfect so you’ve got to win your duels and do the basics right. We didn’t do that today.

“That’s not me taking much away from St Mirren and Stephen, because they performed well. But what makes me angry is that we didn’t perform.”
