Goodwin said: “Having gone so far in the league cup we wanted to replicate that in the Scottish Cup but weren’t able to unfortunately. “We are on a poor run of form but we have to stick together, we have to keep fighting and have to work hard. “I apologise to all the travelling fans.” “And we have to put on a good display against Hibs on Saturday.” “Ultimately I am the manager, they are my players and the performance wasn’t as good as it needed to be.

After their victory over the giants of Aberdeen, Darvel will feel that anything is possible in this year's Scottish Cup. We have a bit of assessing to do tonight, that's for sure.

The former Buddies hero is hanging on to his role after suffering a humiliating defeat to WoSFL side Darvel.

The Buddies travel up to Pittodrie next Wednesday night for a crucial Premiership clash. Goodwin moved to Aberdeen from St Mirren last February to replace Stephen Glass. Ex-Saints Thomas Reilly and Andy Stirling also came on as substitutes in the second half. All of those things really. "Extremely disappointed, embarrassed, humiliated. They thoroughly deserved their victory.

IT is never nice to see a manager lose their job. Well, actually, that's not strictly true. When you are a fan of a club who is in dire straits...

But plenty of Aberdeen fans will, and that tells you all you need to know. But a manager of Aberdeen simply cannot survive results such as the Darvel defeat, particularly given what had come just before. It is understandable given their previous struggles that Goodwin wanted to take a new broom through the club last summer. Alas, his team then reverted to camping out on the edge of their own area, and there was a feeling of inevitability when Scott Arfield struck a leveller deep into stoppage time. When you are a fan of a club who is in dire straits, as uncharitable and wholly immature as it may seem, joy and relief can be found in the misery of a fellow human being taking receipt of their jotters. The defeat to Darvel hasn’t been the only humiliation of Goodwin’s reign.

The Dons boss is fighting to keep his job after his team were humiliatingly dumped out of the Scottish Cup by minnows Darvel.

The restart has seen them slump behind Hearts and now Livingston, with one win and the season threatening to peter out. He was given major funds in the summer with the sale of Lewis Ferguson and Calvin Ramsay. The Pittodrie side are on a dire run of just one win since the winter break, which has seen them slide down the table and crash out of both domestic cups. The squad were left in no doubt that their displays haven’t been good enough and they must start doing a lot better. Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack and his board have still to make a decision on their manager’s future - with discussions planned over the next 24 hours. The squad were hauled in for a frank discussion about the performance at Darvel and recent poor performances.

Over and above the emotional, Braveheart-influenced rhetoric employed by Darvel manager Mick Kennedy before what is now being regarded as Scottish ...

"It's difficult to make a case for it (the game plan) now," the manager admitted in the face of fans' fury. There, behind Kennedy, was a man whose schemes were going seriously agley in deepest, darkest Burns country, in the week of the anniversary of the poet's birth. That proved the case with Jack Ross earlier this season, in the wake of Dundee United's 9-0 defeat to Celtic. Goodwin was the definition of good grace afterwards. Darvel's admirable determination to play the fourth round tie at home, rather than switch it to Rugby Park, not only increased their chances of springing a shock, but also made for some unforgettable television. "We felt it was the best way to go," said Goodwin afterwards. So it was very easy to understand the depth of dismay felt among Aberdeen fans on December 17. It was interpreted as a cowards’ charter by fans and who knows, maybe even the players. He made a rag-tag bunch believe that a team from the sixth tier of Scottish football could beat one from the top tier. The beautiful game, the glory game, had fought its way out of the dust storm. Even in death trap stadiums in a land where human rights were so low down in the list of priorities, some romance had managed to exist. He convinced them that a team currently operating in a junior regionalised league could beat the former European Cup-Winners’ Cup champions.

Goodwin is facing the sack after defeat to Darvel in the cup and Frank McDougall reckons there is no way back for the beleaguered boss.

The next manager will come in and he will want to bring his own players. “There is no time for that given the way the team are in freefall. Goodwin and the chairman will have to have serious discussions to see what the future holds. “It’s a difficult, difficult decision for the club, there is no doubt about that. I don’t know if there’s enough good will from the chairman to allow Goodwin to stay. “There doesn’t seem to be a lot of bottle there and I don’t think this squad is strong enough to be fair. They watch them all the time and they have been critical. The 64-year-old, who will return for a Pittodrie bow next month against Livingston, stated: “Who comes in and replaces him and what do they do? McDougall was part of an Aberdeen side who won the title and cups but now the current team is a shadow of that. They have one just one game since the World Cup break and that has seen them tumble down to fifth and out of both cup competitions. Goodwin was appointed Aberdeen manager last February but despite large financial backing and a major rebuild the Dons are still miles off where they need to be. The Dons players and management were left red-faced as they crashed out of the Scottish Cup, after being dumped in Darvel on Monday night.
