Match Thread Motherwell 0 - 2 Aberdeen

[redstrummer]

May looking sharper , McClean playing well , he'll be a miss for the semi . Hopefully we get McGinn back and G Stew can play the McClean role

[Clydeside_Sheep]

What a great result, im much more confident about the semi now.

 

The first half was the inverse of what I expect, I thought they would have the better of it. When they did improve in the 2nd half I thought it could go either way, but to look at the stats this morning there is doubt we deserved to win.

 

Well done to McInnes for having the team dominate so much.

 

Kenny McLean involved in both goals again. We should have sold him ages ago, if this is what it has done to him Good bit of spark throughout the whole team currently.

 

Now to pump the jambos!

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I agree. I think Ball is the firm favourite to play at RB in the semi. No idea knows what he's like there but when we signed him I'm sure it was mentioned he could play at full back. He's right footed and a defender so he's basically the best option we've got (as long as we don't play the dreaded 3 at the back).

 

he played right back at celtic park just before christmas. to be honest, he wasnt terrible. relatively speaking.

Next seasons first signing should be the Motherwell ground keeper.

 

 

Pitch looks cracking compared to our shite

Dens also has a great surface. It's shameful that ours has yet again deteriorated to the point where even Highland League teams would scoff at it.

That pitch went down less than a year ago.

Presume Milne got the turf of a teuchter friend.

The motherwell fan in work has done a good job of hiding from me today. I have largely neglected my duties, in order to search for him.

 

He must have called in sick.

Does a lot of it not have to do with where Pittodrie is? Have we ever had a good pitch?

 

And yet people want us to move to Kings Links where the state of the pitch will be even worse.

Maybe. I don't know I'm nae a groundsman. If we really are shackled by the location and nothing can be done, then it's at the point we need to look at a high quality artificial surface. Nobody likes them but it's hard to imagine one playing any worse than the pitch we've currently got.

Complete opposite. Excellent drainage due to the sand. It used to be one of the best in Scotland.

 

Under soil heating doesn't help but the pitch (and the one before) is just an abortion.

The only turf, that could ever please me, was the turf of a teuchter friend.

Celtic are getting a desso pitch and Hearts are considering one. They cost in the region of £1 million.

 

Obviously pointless spending that at Pittodrie. I'd like to think we might put it in at Kingsford though. We might need it if we plan on hosting rugby.

[Andy_123]

It's embarrasing that there is a better surface down at Inverdee or Hazlehead than we have at Pittodrie.

 

I've had games called off with the pitch in better nick than Pittodrie is

Which part of my post did you disagree with? You could answer sensibly, or if you're unable to just post some more emojis.

 

And considering I have consistently argued for the stadium to be at Loirston, your post is even more bizarre.

Good point, Hearts should pay for half of ours as well then.

You sure that's got anything to do with the result last night?

Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was

+1 brilliant Harcus!

 

I cant even say that I am sure of it

 

(though he pops up quickly enough when they win, the hoor)

[fine-n-dandy]

Obviously not good enough for another year contact in Derek's eyes...which is a mistake IMHO...

Especially when you consider we'd get compensated by Iceland FA during his time away at WC.

That in itself could offset some of his wages for next season

Anyone know what our support was last night?

Bollocks! I had a wager on we'd take 1000.

I forgot about this. The pitch will be shit at kingsford argument because the ground doesnt have as much sand in it as the beach.

 

Fucking class. Pittodrie pitch like a ploughed fucking field.

Another thing you were wrong about ?

Exactly 1000? Bold prediction, hope you didn't bet too much.

Regardless of your views on where the new ground should be, you'd have to be fairly retarded to not understand the link between Pittodrie's pitch location and it's generally shite condition.

Aye we've only dealt with it for 100+ years but now Derek McAurora doesn't like it we should spend £50m on a new stadium as far out of Aberdeen as possible while still being able to technically call it "in Aberdeen".
