Match Thread Aberdeen 2 - 1 Hearts

[englishred]

Fantastic win considering how poor the first half was and hopefully this can spur us on for next week.  

In regards of Hearts, as others have said they are similar to us in the fact they're not a good side.  Like us they have some good players but they have managed to paper over the cracks a little better however i'd like to think we can act sooner rather than later and leave them toiling as im sure they will over the 38 games

I'm sure they heard you loud and clear from your sofa 

At the game the supporters got behind the team and drove them forward despite their frustration at the first 45 minutes, a sizeable amount also showed their appreciation after the match as well. 

What difference would my being on my couch make!?

God never ever lets us down with his passion for Aberdeen. Pure class.

Absolutely, min! Richard Gordon is the same. I don’t think either have or had an agenda. They’re just fans, like us and they have stone opinions, like us…

The Duk pass for the winner is incredible. A Zero-esque nonchalance about it.

@Wester Hailes Skins what's with the no sponsor and the blacked out badge on the strip?

It’s a fantastic looking kit, fair play to them.

Needed that today.

If you'd been at the match (I know, highly unlikely) you'd have been aware that despite the booing in the first half and at half time the team got a good reception when they came out for the second half and were well backed throughout which certainly helped them turn in the performance they did.

Since you initially responded I did read back and noticed you actively hoping for the team to get beat earlier so with all due respect your opinion means less than fuck all to me, enjoy your Saturday night 

ps you do have a lovely singing voice to your credit

When he released the ball and it went across the face of goal I thought, "He's fucked it!"

Then Clarkson appears in view and taps in the finish.

Duk showed incredible awareness as well as unselfishness. 

He could have tried to chip their keeper, but chose the better option, and in the process took out the keeper, the two defenders closing him down, and a third defender who'd been tracking Clarkson. 

Both build-ups to our goals were fast, exciting, quality pieces of play.

Absolute rubbish, even their own fans have said they started well but weren't that good.  I gave us credit, we were much better from 40mins onwards but Hearts are not a good side, it's embarrassing that their is such a big gap between us and them in the table.

You seem angry that we won today. Weird.

You’d have thought they’d have found strips big enough to fit those fat hun bastards Shankland & Halkett

Those of us not on the couch, but in the stands could see the pass. And a beautiful pass it was too.

[Ernie McCracken]

For the second goal, why is Morris fucking jogging?! Rather than busting a gut to support Duk in the same way that Clarkson who had been on the pitch all game did?

No argument there mate

And I still have serious doubts, 99% sure Robson will eventually be emptied this season 

But Dandies first always 

Looking forward to the cup final now

Let’s win the cunt

"That's the man that's in charge of our safety, it boggles the mind!!!!"

[Frank Grimes]

Point on Barron also

Looked like he was celebrating wildly at the winner 

So, who knows?

Obviously something going on though

He’s our Ted Striker

[Helmet]

Brilliant to finally get a decent league result.

Takes a tiny bit of pressure off but we really need to string together a run of wins in the league now. Let’s see.

The cup final could be anything really, but I would not be entirely shocked to see Robson and co. win it.

Not true. From my view in the stands I, like @Ke1t, was convinced he'd blown it. 

I'd like to think that made the goal a tiny bit sweeter for me than for you.

Lack of football IQ, lack of game time and match sharpness, no confidence, take your pick. 

[Dandys1983]

Still can't say that was a great performance and Duk was lucky that landed at Clarkson feet! Hearts are shite, the whole leagues shite, but we do play better when we don't boot it, he has a choice to make on Thursday though but personally I'd play a reserve side. Btw some trumpets in the stands today. 

[sheepcrooky]

Missed the game as walking round Guembe national park in Bolivia with a Zen zone. 
 

Was following the game on my phone though. Fuck me, those Bolivian parrots sure shifted when LC scored late on. 
 

Just watched the highlights on Red TV and it looked like we were utter pish 1st half and magnificent 2nd half. 
 

We’re a strange fucking team. 
 

Oh, and fuck the diet hun cockwombles. 

[Helmet]

Just watched the highlights and hard to tell how good we actually were second half, but certainly very happy to get the result and points and let’s see where we go from here.

I wasn’t in my usual seat due to the rain, but from my new (worse) view I knew he’d set up the winner.

Milne played RWB and played well. Devlin played more centrally because we struggle to retain the ball with McDonald and Ruby needs a rest. That meant the Devlin and Garment were on the ball and they are far superior passers. Hayes played the 90 because his pace and experience gave us solidity on the left. 

so why didn't MacDonald start ? Milne did alright but he's not a fucking wing back and Devlin is
