Match Thread Aberdeen 1 - 0 Motherwell

[BWG]

Pretty sure Jack is in so it'll likely just be the usual lineup with O'Connor coming in for Reynolds.

Oh didn't realise Jack was fit again, that's good news. In that case I hope Shinnie is played a LB

Oh didn't realise Jack was fit again, that's good news. In that case I hope the outstanding ball winner and goal scoring man of the match last week Shinnie is played at LB

Is that what you meant?

[Tord31]

Lewis

 

Logan Taylor O'Connor Shinnie

 

McGinn Jack McLean Hayes

 

Rooney Stockley

 

subs: Alexander, Pawlett, Christie, Storey, Ross, Wright, McLennan

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Feck me, the last minute attempt to secure three seats together for the little uns isn't going well. RDU only.

 

Fair play if the Community Trust effort can put what, 5,000 extra erses on seats compared to a close cup tie with Partick then they must be doing something right!

[Lencarl]

This game should be a belter with Motherwell out to make amends for the thrashing last time at Pittodrie.

 

All out attack is needed straight from the kick off.

 

Aberdeen 3 Motherwell 0

[Tord31]

looking like a decent attendance then?

Nae liking the look of that central defence.

 

O'Connor playing on the left where he seems less than comfortable.

Worse than that, having to play alongside a gormless spasticated galloot who is the very definition of an accident waiting to happen.

 

I do realise there appears to be few other options?

Or is there?

Please present one.

[Tord31]

thats not the scariest option. the three at the back without shinnie is a possibility.

 

potentially if it is a back three as per the last couple of home games then it should be Taylor right and Logan left of O'Connor

[tup]

2 at the back and lets annihilate them again.

[BWG]

2 at the back and lets annihilate them again.

I mean do we really even need defenders against Motherwell? I say we play 10 up front.

[Dunty]

From looking at the ticket portal, I work out we've sold just over 14,600 tickets (can't count the singing section as you don't seem to be able to buy online for that, so have counted them as unsold).

 

Still good availability in RDU, sections X and Y of south, and I presume singing section.

 

Reckon once away support and a few late comers added it'll be over 15,000.

Cheeky.

 

1-1-8 just to give them a wee bit of respect.

[Scotty_Toronto]

Red tv international tomorrow anyone Ken?

 

Yes, live on Red TV international.

"Meanwhile, Motherwell top scorer Louis Moult is suspended.

 

And Well's defence is severely depleted, with all three that faced Kilmarnock on Saturday - Zak Jules, Ben Heneghan and Carl McHugh - doubtful.

Fellow defenders Stephen McManus and Kieran Kennedy are sidelined with long-term injuries, while right-back Richard Tait is set for surgery that will rule him out for the season.

Motherwell remain without a permanent manager... " - BBC

​Absolutely no excuse for not going for it from the off.

 

• The Dons have won eight of their last 10 Premiership fixtures, and have not lost at home since Celtic beat them 3-0 in October. - BBC
• (Actually we were the 'home' team in the League Cup Final at Hampden that day in November. Aberdeen last lost at Pittodrie in the League by a score of 0-1 in October.)

[RAZOR]

They'll be better with that fat little cunt McDonald. By far their best player. Hopefully someone glasses him pre match.

[King Street Loon]

Would not surprise me if we made heavy weather of this game.

2 nil the dons.

Speaking of which

Win by 2 goals.

[Patches]

Looking forward to this one. Sounds like there is going to be a larger than normal crowd, so well done everyone involved in the community trust group.

 

3-1

A wee bit of advice for Aberdeen fans :

 

Motherwell striker Scott McDonald slams Aberdeen fans who provoked club legend Mark McGhee

 

 

“They think they are gutsy doing it with a camera behind him – but if you walked past a person in the street would he be brave enough to say it? I think not.

“And that’s the disappointing thing in society. People use social media to become a lot braver.

“If they were walking down the street in a normal society they would be minding their own
business and walking straight past you. It’s disappointing.

So behave yourselves at the match this afternoon.

Erm, i'm confused! Did the fans use social media to become braver or did they abuse McGhee to his face? McDonald is nothing more than a Ned.

 

I hope we hammer them today

The boy is a fucking halfwit.

 

Which, funnily enough, would be the exact term I'd use to describe him if I did have the misfortune to bump into him face to face today.

 

He' s nae really engaged his brain to address the scope of the situation.

Given that Motherwell fans were 10 times more brutal in their chastisement of McGhee for daring to move from them to us.

Paedophila rings a bell.

All that happened in the main stand last time was fans ripping the piss out of McGhee. No more, no less.

 

You Mr McDonald, are a witless hypocrite devoid of independent thought.

Wise the fuck up.

[fine-n-dandy]

Did they not try to stir things up before we played them a few weeks ago? Worked wonders that time lol

[Reed or deed]

Mark McGhee had a choice.

 

He could have been relaxed and had a laugh with the Aberdeen fans, or he could have been an absolute fucking moron in the face of a wind up.

 

Boy's a fucking arsehole.

GAME DAY !!!

[Ernie McCracken]

"A victory on Saturday will be Aberdeen's eighth successive home win in all competitions - a figure they have not reached since Sir Alex Ferguson was Dons manager"

Uncle Ebbe got 9 home league wins in row, but I think there was a cup defeat in the middle of that run.

Correct, http://www.afcheritage.org/matches/fixtures/fixtures.cfm?season=2001-02&squad=senior

 

I was there for number 8 against St Johnstone.

Think it was to beat the consecutive home league wins record ??

Over 17,000 in attendance.

 

 

Edit: Correct link there now.

Aye am pretty sure we were gubbed 6-1 by Livingston in the league cup during that run.
