Match Thread Motherwell 2 - 4 Aberdeen

[jamiesd]

Well done lads. Much needed win. 

[Ke1t]

That first half was some of the best fitba we've played in years. 
 

Can we do more of that?

I'll excuse the second half of the second half and chalk that up to tiredness. 3 games in 6 days. 
 

 

Over the piece an excellent performance, if we can do that against 9/11 other teams in the league we'd be comfortably 3rd. 
 

Some lovely football tonight and the exact kind of things I want to see from Aberdeen. Onwards and upwards. 
 

COYR

Totally agree

[Geoff_Tipps]

Clarkson was superb tonight, back to his best.

Difficult to criticize any of the players, obviously disappointed not to get a clean sheet, but we were just coasting after the 4th. I know Ruby is raw and often gets a hard time but he seems to be settling well and growing in confidence.

[Donstar83]

Performance of the season.  Win our game in hand and we're up to fourth.

[englishred]

All in all good performance. What makes me even angrier though is that we didn't even attempt to play that way on Sunday. When we keep possession we must be one of the best teams in the league. 

Only negative is we need to keep it tight for 90 minutes. 

Will be interesting how we play Saturday as we have played well in midweek in Europe yet been poor a few days later. Hibs really are there for the taking

The Ref has never stuck his cock in a lady hole.

It was affa strange - he gave us every decision yet still feel cheated as 3 of them should have got second yellows - the boy kicking it away, the striker jumping in to Gartenmann and Butcher being Butcher. And it would have been 4 deserved reds if McGrath had stayed down instead of scoring. 

Complete virgin.

I based my comment entirely on how he looked. 

 

[The Boofon]

Was like watching Holland ‘78 that first half. 
 

Ref not booking two Dons players the only downside. 

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

Ball on the ground, playing proper football, more of that please!

[Frank Grimes]

That was a good laugh 

In a pub in Motherwell and the locals are tripping their faces 

Dandies 

Fucking do the biz on Saturday now

Hibs threw away a 2-0 lead with 15 or so to play. Robson has already shown he is more than capable of this as well this season 

Nothing to worry about. 

[Snelders Snottters 89]

Was great seeing us do so well stunned at the 4 goal lead albeit Poor conceding 2! Barry still in the shite house for me unless he can somehow win on sat' that'll go a long way to giving him until Jan' as per.

[Redtaz2]

Just when I thought we were a hoofball specialist then we show that we can actually play some football 

is it players 

formation 

or robsons instructions 

probably will never really find out but revelling in tonight 

same again Saturday

And not a single long throw. Fucking unbelievable. We go from 12 a game to 0 and score 4 goals. More of that please 

[Helmet]

So what the fuck happened there.

The senior players had a word and “recommended” some changes they’d like to see?

Robbo had an Epiphany this morning?

Or what?

It should almost merit an inquest within the club why the players haven’t been trying to play football for 90 mins in every game when they can so clearly pass the ball well.

[TerryMcDermott]

Absolute head scratcher. How do we get them to do that every week? 
 

Inch perfect flick on by Ruby for their second as well. We just couldn’t stop creating chances.

Is ‘raw’ used to describe someone who isn’t very good at their job in any other industry? One for the football cliche thread!

When you have the likes of Barron, Clarkson & McGrath in midfield, it’s madness to negate them & hump it long over their heads.

The occasional ball over the top, aye.

But look at the difference tonight, & funnily enough, playing it on the ground & Clarkson looked good again.

Everyone and his dog knew this, but exactly why has the manager changed the approach at this point?

I’d love to know what triggered it.

Let’s wait & see how things pan out. 

Hopefully not a one off. 

You’d think he’ll stick with 5-4-1, which as we showed tonight, doesn’t need to be seen as defensive. 

[Snelders Snottters 89]

Fucking despise spunkscene ! It's a national disgrace' I thought scotsport was coming back? The usual rats on it and were not on until the end..

We kept losing? Long throws disappeared tonight too

[Snelders Snottters 89]

Duncan is absolutely shit! Missed his pathetic effort earlier. 

[Helmet]

The “massive crisis” chat is just rank, absolutely fucking awful.

That’s not new though, we’ve been losing and pish for a while.

An epiphany then, is that it? Strange.

Brutal and cringeworthy.

[RUL]

Was chuffed to see long throws abandoned. A thoroughly excellent performance 

[Tord31]

who took armband when Shinnie went off?

[Willo flood]

Not a huge fan of that interview from Robson there. Comes across way too arrogant for a guy who’s only won 3 League games this season

Hopefully doesn’t come back to bite him in the arse
