Match Thread Kilmarnock 0 - 2 Aberdeen

[zander]

Great win today. Killie will take points off the others. If we finish second this season - will be McInnes strongest season with us given the improvement in opposition.

 

McInnes will have us up for the Hearts game this Friday - we'll be looking to beat them after our last result at Tynecastle.

And the failures in the cups will be overlooked.

 

Nobody remembers second place.

You're on full on Contrary Mode today Millerman, ran out of meds?

He’s as fucking tedious as FnD at the moment.

Before I blocked him / her / them.

Just quoting you to annoy the fk out of you by making you 'view post anyway' even though you will still deny doing so.

[V for Vendetta]

Well done to the team today. All of them involved. Clean slate for these 5 games imo.

 

Didn't see it, haven't read anything about it, don't really want to right now.

 

Well done.

 

It's a good result, needs followed with more of the same

[maryhilldon]

I said i wouldn't be surprised if we didn't win a game the rest of the season. On reflection, i would be surprised.

You could be onto something there.

F#ckin bitch!

Hopefully Killie will take some points post split which would be a boost for us. I can't see them losing all five games

[Geoff_Tipps]

Me neither, they'll get something from Hearts and loose all others.

[Sheepo]

watched the game on Red Tv and Killie are a poor team without Mulumbu and Jones, can see them losing the next 4 also, we played ok there keeper was pretty poor Ball played ok and Reynolds wasn't put under much pressure thankfully, poor booking for Mclean and we will miss him for the Hibs game as he is on top form

[Tord31]

i'll take the bet that killie get something from celtic OR rangers OR hibs

[Chewie37]

Finally got to watch the highlights, anyone else notice that Christie put in a few snidey high foot, studs showing challenges, one of which led to McLeans yellow card, the wee prick (@@Dad ™)

His usual game.

[fine-n-dandy]

I still think Killie will have a say/effect on who finishes second.

 

Hopefully it's sevco they fk over

[redstrummer]

surely a penalty on GMS at the end

He didn’t complain, depends on the angle I suppose, you could call it shoulder to shoulder?

[redstrummer]

There's a difference between shoulder to shoulder going for a 50 /50 ball and getting taken out when in full flow running with the ball , which was my interpretation in this instance

[Chewie37]

GMS does get stick for being a wimp, but he’s not scared to put himself in positions where he takes a hit.......no homoerotic pun intended/required

Yup, definite penalty. Killie boy just took him out.

[GDON21]

Good 3 points against a stuffy side. Still thought we really struggled to create chances that weren't set pieces. The whole midfield were too far away from May again and gave him no support. Only when GMS came on did we get some joy in wider areas.

 

I feel sorry for May as he is starting to put a real shift in but getting no real service or support from our midfield.

I think this has been the issue all season. May just looks isolated up front and struggles to get any service from the midfield and it makes it look like he does fuck all, when reality is that he doesn't get many chances at all. Same for Rooney, he gets no real service these days either, hence the lack of goals.

[Pash]

Stone waller at the end imo.

 

Shinnie should have done better before that.

 

Looked like a blatant dive from Christie on the near touch line.

 

GMS looked good.

Yes I'd be worried if May & Rooney were missing clear cut chances etc but in reality they are getting no support or service. Bringing Rooney on to play left mid is a total waste and then he takes May off and puts Rooney up front and then again he brought Arnason on and moved Rooney to the left again and played McLean up front.

 

Strange decisions and yes we won 2-0 but I didn't really see any marked improvement from the previous week except defensively we looked slightly better. Killie struggled to defend set pieces and the goalie throws in the first goal. We need a big improvement to finish in the top 3 never mind top 2.

Hmm, they've both had their moments throughout the season. But I do agree that the service hasn't exactly been pin point.

 

Id like to think that was GMS now fully fit again.

[Reliablesource]

GMS simply got outmuscled by a man

 

Real football

Never a pen. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a Willy woofter.
