Match Thread (Europa League) Maribor V Aberdeen

[Poodler]

Do you fish on the River Dee? I spik some shite but this surpasses my shiteness.

I am so proud of Aberdeen's performances, including Adam Rooney's, over the two legs against Maribor. Ryan Jack's value has increased markedly, what a performance again tonight.

Proud? Maribor are no Leicester city.

[boboisared]

We didn't get to see the highlight of why the ball was brought back 60 yards when we were on the attack in the second half to give us a free kick. Was dropping my old man off after the game and they said on the radio it was for an attempted punch on Ryan Jack. Unreal.

[Tord31]

GUTTED.

[boboisared]

For the O.G, Shinnie probably should have passed to the side of the goals and Lewis should have taken a touch. Sare een.

[DelMonte]

Adam Rooney isn't good enough for that stage of Europe. Sorry not it's true.

[vanderark14]

No idea what Rooney was thinking tonight. He's been close to perfect for us so far, especially from the spot. It certainly hasn't been his night but I won't load the blame on him. Too many other factors to blame one player.

[1983]

We lost because Rooney tried to be too smart

 

Simple as that.

Agreed, he should have aimed for the bobble

[vanderark14]

Adam Rooney isn't good enough for that stage of Europe. Sorry not it's true.

This is the most stupid post I've ever seen on here. Take a bow min because that's some fucking accolade to have.

[King Street Loon]

It made little difference regardless.

 

Stockley lost us the game.

Stockley didn't lose us the game.

The over officious ref harshly carding twice hurt us massively.

[RAZOR]

First penalty miss from Rooney for us & I think we all knew he was going to miss it before he took it because the refs decision was shocking.

He didn't miss you cunt

[King Street Loon]

The game changed when Burnsy came off.

 

Didn't help that Stockley was off 5 minutes later, admittedly.

I thought it extremely harsh that he was subbed.

The ineffectual McLean should have came off.

[King Street Loon]

Fuck sake.

 

We are far too naive in Europe. We are a much, much better team than Maribor.

 

Cunts.

Naive yes.

Certainly not clinical enough.

[fine-n-dandy]

GAWA MIN!

 

His penalties are always put to a corner with venom

 

If you put it down the middle, you have to put the laces through it.

 

As for the OG, even amateurs know not to pass back towards goal from that distance.

Mostly. Not always. He put a couple down the middle last season.

But yes he ALWAYS hits it with venom but tonight he shat it.

[The Boofon]

McGinn was horrendous.

[RAZOR]

Mostly. Not always. He put a couple down the middle last season.

But yes he ALWAYS hits it with venom but tonight he shat it.

LCF was straight doon the middle

Eh? I'm Nae joking here mobby? You seen a compilation of his pens for the Dons? I'm sure some statto like tord can compile them, the vast majority, the keeper will save if he goes the right way. Can't be to critical at my end because I've always thought his pens -2 aside were unconvincing. That red though min, fuck me. I feel robbed and I'm standing in a bar, the spiders. Loyal buggers in Slovenia must be gutted. That was a carve up, if it was Turkey in a Lebanonese hovel in Leeds the SSPCA would be in uproar. As would I.

 

But I must stress again, the away fans, bravo to the lot of you.

[fine-n-dandy]

He didn't miss you cunt

I'd have preferred he had rather than this pish he tried tonight.

Side footing down the middle is as good as a miss.

Nobody will feel as bad as he does for it but that was a fkn honking penalty from someone that normally you would put your house on.

[vanderark14]

really though?

 

he was honking in first game, missed gilt edged chances, the diving header especially then tonight, his bottle must have went as he never EVER hits pens like that - why not believe in yourself?

 

those calling for stockley from the start look vindicated now

Yes really, it's a complete overreaction to a couple out of character performances. I'm sure he and Mcinnes will know that he is better than what we saw over the last two games. I'm not defending his performance but I'm also not blaming him for it all going wrong.

[Guest the shepherd]

You Sir

 

Are a Mongol

Aye, Genghis Khan was a good mate of mine.

Sorry if I caused offence min. Whilst Adam Rooney's penalty was woeful his goals have ensured we reached Europe again in the first place, so he has hardly cost Aberdeen. The boy Handanovic should not have had the opportunity to save his penalty.

[The Lighthouse]

The writing was on the wall when we missed the penalty - you can`t miss opportunities like that in Europe and not live to regret it. That said, Rooney has been so prolific and reliable so it is hard to criticise him too much. Mind you I did shout at the screen when he missed a great chance late on....

 

Stockley - he was unlucky for the first booking but perfectly entitled to jump for the ball at the second. Fuck knows what the ref was doing by booking him for that challenge.

 

Overall, we played well enough tonight and at home but if you don`t convert chances you will usually pay the price.

 

The OG at the end was a blip and made no difference to our exit so no point in analysing it to death.

 

Now we face our Scottish bogey team at the weekend.....

[Lang Bar]

Someone commented that Mcinnes got his tactics spot on.

Well we are oot the cup so they werenae that good.

An ordinary side beat us.

[fine-n-dandy]

We will take our revenge on St Johnstone

Were they as good as that?

He did get them spot on.

 

The manager can only put the players in position to win. If they fail to take chances etc or ref cheats then that is not on him.

 

Celtic were pish in their two legs and lucky to get through. Rogers doesnt get credit for getting tactics spot om just because they went through,

[ebbe]

Performance aside, I must be going mental. But hearing not a peep out the away end during the silence made me feel proud to be a dandy. Irrespective of how anyone feels it was a tribute and you all acted with dignity and decorum. A rarity you never hear of because of the way the Weigyarse cheeks behave.

[ebbe]

HIS PENS ARE USUALLY GOOD, BUT TONIGHT HIS PEN WAS SHITE, BECAUSE HE WAS TRYING TO BE TOO SMART WITH A DINK DOWN THE MIDDLE.

No wonder I don't post here often

You cunts ever played fitba?

He pretty much did the same against Caley. Aye I've played min. Or tried to.

[Dynamo]

Played well blah blah blah, but we are oot!

McInnes complaining aboot the ref nae allowing any form of contact.

Just a minute after Taylor was penalised and warned for leading with the elbow, what does Mcinnes do, he puts on Stockley.

Sorry but that was a decision which should have been put on hold for 10 minutes.

Not just the players but McInnes needs to learn from this too.

Ref was shocking no doubt but over 2 legs we have beaten ourselves.

Yes. But get fucked.

[Andy_123]

I hope we notify UEFA of our disappointment with the ref tonight. Not that it'll change anything like.

 

Jammy Slovenian cunts

[ebbe]

Hear, hear

LOL +1

[Panda]

The positives:

 

We are better than Maribor, who are a good, experienced European side who have been in the Champs League group stages in recent years. We made them look very ordinary in both games.

 

They beat us simply due to refereeing decisions. Other than that we were taking them.

 

Jack and Shinnie has to be our new midfield partnership now. The two of them were outstanding over both legs. Shinnie maybe still has a tendency to make too many rash challenges but the two compliment each other well. It does mean sticking with Considine at left back but I'll accept it.

 

Burns could be a big player for us. Also good to see McInnes actually trusting one of his youth players tonight, and Wright is raw but you can clearly see has something about him.

 

The negatives:

 

Unless Burns was injured it was a poor decision to bring him off, and only five minutes into second half too. McInnes obviously can't predict the red card but I still felt he moved too quickly and basically said we were going to play long ball in the second half. Even before red card their goalkeeper isn't troubled by anything. We were opening them up and Burns was going past players, not something many of them were doing.

 

Rooney is worryingly off form, and that's not just because he missed the penalty. I said after the first leg I thought he had a poor game. I think a lot of it is simply down to adjusting to a new system. He looks a little out of his comfort zone and his positioning has let him down at times. Sure he'll be on fire soon enough.

 

McLean you are beginning to wonder where he fits into team. Burns looks a better player than him.
