Match Thread (League Cup) Hamilton 0 - 1 Aberdeen

[elephantstone78]

Storey did very well when he came on. Stewart should have scored that chance he set him up with.

Logan was mince tonight which is v unusual for him

Super joe was once again super.

Atrocious home crowd.

[fine-n-dandy]

Canning. " they've got the numbers, I wouldn't say quality because we've got the quality, but they've got a few more who can lend a hand.

 

Wtf is this guy on lol what quality do they have? Team full of dirty fkn cunts with zero quality

 

So he's effectively saying that they have the better players than us lol

[G31DON]

I'll be honest and say I was not particularly impressed tonight at all.

Really concerned where the crosses are coming from and who's going to be our main scorer.

Reynolds has lost it, and I don't think Arni is the man to replace him.

Good to scrape through .

Thought we were a fucking shambles tonight. No control of the match, no one putting a foot on the ball and trying to build moves, long balls in the air to stewart when he came on, Stewart not tracking back, GMS had to come inside to get a touch of the ball after not having a sniff for 10 mins on the wing, over hit crosses, constantly giving the ball away.

Two pluses were that we got through and that Wright and Christie look like they could really have a good understanding. Apart from that it was grim viewing.

[G31DON]

To give Hamilton a bit of credit they closed us down well not giving us a lot of time , however the out ball to Wright who was normally in tons of space just didn't don't seem to occur to our midfield .

Subbing Wright in a like for like exchange with GMS was baffling as it was obvious he wasn't going to affect the play either.

Stockley did a nice wee nonchalant 'flick' during the half time warm up so that may be his best position i.e. on the pitch at half time , but off it during the match .

 

If i knew how to i could post a pic i took a few mins into the 2nd half of Wright wide on the touchline and he literally has the whole left hand side of the pitch to himself. Not a single player in front or behind or until the middle of the centre circle.

"They've got the numbers, I wouldn't say quality because we've got the quality, but they have a few more who can lend a hand."

 

Just came to cut n paste that on and ask the same question as Fine and Dandy....what a plum Canning is. If they've got the quality, why don't they try and play football? The team is just a reflection of that clogger. It looks like our team struggles on the astro, I did notice the REDTV Waldorf & Stadler using that as an excuse at one point anyway, so it must be true.....

[ClayholeRed]

Shut up and eat yer pie.

My apologies for trying to update people on how the game was going from my perspective.

[ClayholeRed]

 

Thanks for telling me more in one post than Red TV did in the whole first half!

No bother - not sure the previous poster agrees though! ?

[Blantyredon]

What's wrong with it?

Don't know how to post a picture, headline states Hamilton edge past Aberdeen to reach QF!!

Great win at a difficult venue for us.

Tricky draw in the next round but at quarter final stage would expect ti, pity it's not at home.

[DD1903]

Thought we were bang average last night. Looked disjointed for the most. However, a win is a win

Yeah would have been more confident playing them at home. Thought they looked fairly decent v rangers and to go up to Dingwall and win midweek shows they've got a decent team this year. Cup draw shaping up nicely for Hibs/Aberdeen/Dundee/Partick semi finals.

[mavv1903]

You must have been sitting near me. I heard the Gary Gary rubbish. Was this > < close to singing "Gary, love the hair. Gary Gary love the hair."

Miles was quite good when he came on.

Did you not think it was a terrible match with zero atmosphere though?

 

Me Tae I was in that corner 4 rows back.behind where flags were on seats..The Gary thing was cringeworthy.bunch of wee tramps..Heard the guy in 2nd front row saying Gary hows the hair or something like that.

 

Main thing is we got through the tie...I was surprised there was nearly 2k of us there, great support albeit very quiet last night.

[KidCreole]

Just watched the first half cant bring myself to sit through the second, Big Joe kept us in the game yet again, Logan was not enjoying himself and seemed to struggle (as did Shinnie) but even on a off day these guys do the job and pull through,

Wright is proving to be a real determined player it must be tough playing in abysmal conditions when your a tricky player who likes the ball at his feet but he persevered and was instrumental in getting the goal with a great turn and cross.

Wasn't really paying enough attention to see the rest of the team as it was a fucking dire game but I am glad we are able to do the job get a clean sheet and go into the St j game fitter and on a wee run.

Logan was even worse in the second half.

[RUL]

Incredible away support last night, just under 2,000 for a midweek league cup match.

Hamilton 0 Aberdeen 0 as Kenny McLean books Dons a place in the Betfred Cup quarter-finals – 3… Daily Record 22:21 Wed, 09 Aug

 

Fucking clowns cant even get the score right, Serpents tae a man as my esteemed colleague would say

[Jamesy]

3rd game in 6 days, including 1 in Cyprus in a ton o' heat and 1 on a plastic pitch and now another clean sheet and a win. Gotta be happy with that. Feels like he's giving the lads he threw in at the deep end (GMS & GS) a chance to get with it.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Pleased to get through, with Kenny giving his haterz one in the eye

 

Encouraging that Wright was a highlight again.

 

Reasonably happy with the draw and we should progress sgain, all being well.

[herouali]

Always a shite game down there.

 

Always a shite atmosphere.

 

But we got the win.

 

Positives - O'Connor, Christie and Lewis.

 

Maynard needs a goal and I think there'll be a lot of rotating players this season.

I don't think he means they have the players to match us man for man. I think he means he is happy with the quality of first XI he has but doesn't have the ability to rotate some players like we do. Similar to what McInnes would say about Celtic last season.

[Tord31]

anyone got a link with some highlights?

Even then.. we played basically the same team as the first game. It's a nonsense statement and he's a fucking cretin.

[KidCreole]

I think its only on redtv at the moment, And "highlights" is a bit misleading pal it was truly a awful spectacle, Was cool seeing the faithful outnumber the home support 3-1 however

Probably just over. They opened the gates and let a load of folk in for free as they'd "already let too many in and couldn't officially count any more"

Aye, but we're taking guys who could start every game off the bench too.

I think what he means is - their bench is better than ours...and their team is actually better than ours...their fans too...basically Aberdeen is a bigger and better club than ours.
