Match Thread Motherwell 0 - 2 Aberdeen

[Tord31]

Very big game here. A win would be fantastic and a draw is grudgingly probably also a good result. A win would be huge though at this point.

 

Too big a game to have any theory of giving players a run with a view to the semi.

 

No changes I think the only one DMC will consider is steeling up the midfield with Ball or OConnor (Arnason CH) in there at the expense of GMS or Stewart.

 

Lewis

 

Logan OConnor McKenna Considine

 

McLean Shinnie

 

Stewart Christie GMS

 

May

 

subs: Woodman, Reynolds, Ball, Rooney, Arnason, Nwakali, Maynard

others: Rogers, Harvie, Wright, Cosgrove

prediction: 1-1

[BWG]

I'd swap O'Connor for Arnason and if McGinn is fit he goes back in.

 

A turgid 1-0 affair I reckon, but it'll be a big three points if we get through it.

[Mouse]

Same starting 11 as today will do nicely

[Tord31]

Why is mcginn going straight in? I thought this strain has come at a good time for him as he wasnt producing his best stuff the last couple games

[Dynamo]

This on the box?

[Dynamo]

Nope

 

Get along to fir park why don't you?

 

 

Original fixture was meant to be on TV.

 

Nah. Tynecastle and then the semi final next games for me.

[Shinniesta]

Very tough game. The new striker Motherwell have Curtis Main seems to be a real handful.

 

A draw will be a good result considering they have held both of the arse cheeks at home in their last two games.

[V for Vendetta]

Motherwell looked good first half against the Huns and probably would have won today but for a very feeble penalty call.

[Chewie37]

This on the box?

Looks like audio only on RedTV. I’ll probably miss it anyway unless I have lunch around half time

[Andy_123]

Same starting 11 as today surely.

 

2-1 Aberdeen.

 

Wheres good to booze before the game?

Jack Daniels bar is probably best bet. Not a great bar by any means but it's the closest one to the stadium I think. There is parking near by and is close to the train station depending on how you're getting there. Away fans usually go to the bar on the right as you enter.

How do they end up with him and Moult and we get Maynard and Cosgrove ffs.

I was thinking exactly the same. Our scouting operation seems pretty poor and lazy when compared to some of the smaller teams in the league.

Said it for a while now. Our scouting is absolutely shite.

This better be available to watch on tv.

McKimmie has a big job on his hands.

[Shinniesta]

McKimmie has a big job on his hands.

I think he's just the scout for Aberbeen north though? We need better scouting outside of Scotland. As others in the SPFL have proved there are some diamonds in the English lower leagues which is a big market for non old firm Scottish clubs.

[Betty Swallicks]

IN.

 

Tough game.

 

Foolishly offered to drive to it.

 

Single goal victory.

We do scout these leagues though. The difference is that our scouts come back with shit like Cosgrove. Really don't think Russ Richardson is up to the task.

Taking a wage for doing fk all.

 

Don't know who scouted them but the only (unknowns) we have signed that has been any kind of success is Logan & maybe Lewis but Lewis was not really an unknown as such. Rest of the 'unknowns/potential finds' have been complete failures.

 

All rest have been players everyone knew what were capable of.

 

Pretty sure any one of us could have done as good a scouting job as the ones we currently use.

[fine-n-dandy]

Logan seems to be getting closer & closer to scoring again. Could have had a couple yesterday.

 

I think he will score against Motherwell

[The Oxford Don]

Might well be up for this one, will make a late call on Tuesday afternoon about whether or not I can be arsed driving through.

[Clockweights]

The boy Main sums up Scottish fitba.

 

He bounced around several lower league teams in England - and without fail he made an arse out of himself at every single one.

 

He then struts up to Scotland and is already one of the best players in the region!

Agreed.

The regularity with which these lower league English journeymen become the star player in the spl tells you all you need to know about the standard of Scotch jockba.

[BWG]

Only thing I need to know about Scottish fitba is that the Dons play in it. Anything else is irrelevant.

Refereeing standards are the equaliser in our game.

Hector, Ward, Church, Maddison, I think would be players that most fans didnt know much about but that, overall, were a success.

Aye and Maddison wasn't getting a game here before he went back to Norwich and is now the best player in the Championship. Could say that kind of shite about any player.

[Guest milne_afc]

He wasn't getting a game because the rest of the team were so far off his level.

 

And he's not the best player in the Champo.

[mcdougall(4)]

They want 25m for him

 

I think they'll get it
