Match Thread (League Cup) Motherwell V Aberdeen (0 - 2)

[Stoney]

Soz to burst your bubble but im not the only one who shares the opinion that Mcginn only plays for himself

[strachanmcgheegoal]

I also read McCall's comments

 

"I have to give Aberdeen maximum credit for the way they defended with 10 men. They were outstanding. I genuinely can't criticise the players for their performance. I'll give credit to Aberdeen for their defending"

 

And before anyone says that he was bitching about the goal being chopped off..

 

" I don't think I've felt so low after a match so to go into the dressing room and see on the laptop that Suttons goal is onside topped the night off. A massive decision went against us but that's the way it has been going for us recently"

 

Note. No conspiracy, no we was robbed, no cream puffs and refusing to do interviews.

 

Fuck, I hate a likeable hun. It confuses me.

[barassie_afc]

mccall isnt really a hun, he is a bradford man

[elephantstone78]

All this hun, mchun stuff is juvenile/retarded. It has destroyed too many threads on this forum.

Well done the manager, players and travelling support. Superb stuff all round.

totally agree.

Childish and a more than a little pathetic.

On a more positive note i think last night was the proudest I have felt of my team. The fans were excellent and once everybody filed in it looked as if we had just as many fans as them. What a performance !!

[tup]

McHun is doing a decent job so far for sure.

[elephantstone78]

McInnes is a fucking genius. Very proud of the team tonight.

 

I hope the fans come out and back the team in these next two home games. COYR

yes anything less than 15k for partick and that's poor. Respect should be given for last night's efforts.

[alscotoz]

Caught up late with the result, been busy. I like to follow comments to find out result. Fantastic, down to 10 men I think oh dear, pessimism feeds comments and slowly, slowly I find out we win 2-0. I predicted 1-0 but happy to be proved wrong. I said winner of tie would win cup, no change. I stopped reading thread cos people were getting sucked in by redstar. i blocked him ages ago but if he is quoted you still see his comments. Boy has 0 credibility and either he's on the wind up and it's fn boring or he's just fn.....BORING. FUCK OFF REDSTAR, SEIZE THE DAY. Or don't and be completely miserable if we win the cup.

[gla5gowdon]

Last night was just awesome.

 

Incredible effort.

 

Delighted for Consi.

 

Aw fuck, I'm in too good a mood.

Tee hee

Only pulling yer plonker min.

[King Street Loon]

I can see me sneaking into the pic.

Top right.

[Stoney]

Must have been at 1-0

 

everybody looking pensive.

[minijc]

Thinking back, when down to 10 men it would have been far too easy to keep Zola on as our main outlet up top, brilliant move from McInnes and it paid off, the players he was left with on the park are the ones that can easily make up the ground as if there was still 11 on the pitch.

Fir Park must be getting very civilised these days, how many of you used that coat-stand up the back there?

Cracking spot there Hulk.

For me, a superb result but let's not ignore the fact that despite being given multiple warnings in the form of the disallowed goal and the red card, we didn't "wake up" until ... Well, Considine's goal more-or-less. We could hardly string a pass together, let alone play any kind of football that might build to something. Yes, we had a man less but we made Motherwell look far, far better than they were by conspiring to pass the ball straight to them - and I don't mean by punting balls over the top, or panic clearances - I mean straight to them from six yards.

Dons' Set pieces were with the exception of the corner for Considine's BULLDOZER, were abysmal.

Superb engine on Wilo Flood; he never stopped running. Vital block from Langfield to stop what seemed a certain goal for the Well, but by God his kicking is absolutely dreadful.

Still, this is the mark of a capable team; putting in a sub-standard performance, and snatching victory.

I'm sure I could hear the sonic boom from Hayes' shot as he rifled it into the net. He looked up, picked his spot and absolutely launched it.

Incredible support and what an atmosphere at the end.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

I think the guy middle right in the black top (in front of the gadgie with the hat on) puts it best for all of us.

 

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

We were down to 10 from the 13th minute give them a break.

In the cold harsh light of day, you're pretty spot on with the assessment.

A Jack free kick in the 2nd half was shocking.

Couldn't even get it past the first man and surrendered possession again.

 

We were down to 10 from the 13th minute give them a break.

True, but does that excuse the facts that he stated above?

 

I'm delighted we're through, but when we did have possession, a lot of the time we squandered it and were wasteful.

There's plenty there for McInnes to work on and I highly doubt that he'll be satisfied by the performance.

'It was gutsy' were his words. Correct, Not possession, fast flowing football.

[Huntlysheep]

Well done again to Deek & the boys excellent showing wi 10 men.

 

COYR!!!

Like a speeding bobsleigh needs its brakeman, this runaway train of Dons optimism also need the occasional (very occasional) dose of "haud on, we're nae Barca. Yet." as provided here by Terrorfex.

 

Good to go mental, as I did last night when we scored. And great to wake up with that feeling of joy, and anticipation for the draw (and plotting how the fuck I'm going to sell a trip back to Scotland next spring (MAYBE) to a heavily pregnant missus) has been magnificent.

 

We are definitely going somewhere with DMc. Nae harm in a bit of objectivity about the performance though.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Is the draw for the semis at 2 or 3?

[Stoney]

2pm

Ball retention was poor first half and actually thought we started terrible with 11!

 

Second half massive improvement and we got stronger as the game progressed.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Also hope we win it on the day, arsed with a replay midweek.

 

Fashing?

 

Is it nae 2pm today? Not hearing anything about it so far

[Stoney]

Yeah dude its 3

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Fingers crossed for Inverness v Aberdeen being played at Keith's ground.

 

Wonder if they'd consider Tannadice if we got St Johnstone? Probably not big enough

[Tord31]

Need to wait for Draw, tv selection and Kick off time before deciding venue imo.

Dons v Hearts, Ibrox

ICT v Perth, Pittodrie

 

My source at BT Sport says it's true.

If that scenario panned out, they should play our game at Easter Road.
