Vexed Aberdeen legend Willie Miller has demanded no excuses are sought after his former side's shambolic 5-0 defeat to Hearts.
The club icon was left gutted after watching Jim Goodwin's team suffer travel sickness once again as Robbie Neilson's Jambos opened up a nine-point lead over their potential rivals for third spot in the Scottish Premiership. But European football is not on the mind of those of a Dons persuasion as they face a tricky looking Scottish Cup tie with Darvel on Monday.
Goodwin was left struggling to comprehend the pasting in Gorgie during his radio interview but did say to sorry to the club's supporters at the end of his mea culpa with the club's TV channel. Miller, though, reckons the time for mitigating factors is gone after a staggering eighth Premiership away defeat of the season. Speaking on BBC Sportsound, the Pittodrie legend said: "To think Aberdeen could finish third on the evidence of recent games, then that is not going to happen. Hearts were well ahead of Aberdeen and cruised it.
