Match Thread Aberdeen V Motherwell (0 - 1)

[Tord31]

Dons need a point to secure our highest league finish in two decades.

 

Lots of injuries to contend with : Considine, Shaughnesey, Robertson, Low, Flood & Rooney all out. Likely go with the side that started the second half against United but Smith central and Pawlett wide.

 

Langfield

 

Logan Anderson Reynolds Hayes

 

Jack Robson

 

Pawlett Smith McGinn

 

Vernon

 

subs: Weaver, Tate, Zola, McManus, Murray, Rose, Campanile

Prediction 2-2 Thriller with goals from Anderson and McGinn

Crowd: 13,000 (actually 15,000)

3-1 The Dons. Vernon with 2, Hayes with the other. Langfield to sign off the season with the howler of all howlers, redirecting a back-pass into his net.

When's the draw for the European trip, how much notice will we get, what dates are the games and who's getting the bugle?

#2ndPlaceSunday To me this is bigger than the Cup Final... More chance of a goal too. 2nd place cements everything we've achieved this season. 3rd place leaves a little bad taste in the mouth. It's at home, against a team we've got a damn good record against... Failure would be disappointing and anti climactic... I was also hoping to see the new strips as well at some point.

 

I hope Todders is rocking, shit time for a kick off...

[ChutneyLove]

Motherwell should bring a decent crowd to add to the atmosphere - maybe 1,000? I'm going to check Poodler doesn't sell his soul and have his bird with him. Crowd; 15,878.

[CalgaryDon]

Final game of the season has arrived and what a fantastic season we've had. Motherwell will be going all out attack so we should be looking to counter them. Really hope Vernon has a great last game and finally clinch 2nd place for the dandies.

[Pash]

What is the kick-off time? I'm in regardless.

 

1-1, last minute Vernon power blaster from 6 yards to clinch second spot.

[mavv1903]

KIck off time is crap...But I'm IN..

 

I think a high scoring game maybe 3-2 Aberdeen or 3-3...And we clinch 2nd place, and what a season its been.

 

AFter the highs of Dundee Utd away on tuesday lets keep it going.

 

We have 1 24 seater that goes from Glenrothes every week, this week had to put an extra bus on so 2 coming up..Demand is there for last game...

Hmmmm. No.

 

Also, we ain't beat Motherwell at home for 5 years or something like that!

[ChutneyLove]

Terrible grammar. Motherwell minker.

[a don in oz]

Every team's fans say that about refs. Unlike all the other clueless fuckers though, we're right.

[ChutneyLove]

You're right adio, the huns even think the bloody SFA is against them!

[the sheep]

Any news on Flood. Always gives a 100%, would give Motherwell no time on the ball and importantly always asking for the ball regardless of how well he and the team are playing. Its that kind of play we need to bring this weekend. The only disappointment from the United game.

[RTYD]

Just had a look n the Motherwell forum, came across this:

 

 

That's the first I've ever heard of the SFA loving Aberdeen.

They don't.

[SkyeDon]

Nervous, still can't believe McKay hit the post with the last kick last night.

 

Anyway, I'm in. Hopefully a good crowd.

 

1-1.

[Pash]

Not sure if I can make it now as I still don't know the kick-off time.

[Big Stall]

Game on! However if Motherwell play as they did in the second half lastnight, Aberdeen will run out easy winners.

 

Wheres best place to park and is Tup getting the pints in???

[vanderark14]

I'm in

[Guest milne_afc]

Anderson's 400th(and last?) appearance for the Dons. I'll back him to score first/last.

[fine-n-dandy]

I would like us to get sweet revenge for the last game we played them at home when they parked the bus & we pummeled them but they then had one counter attack up the park & scored a fkn lucky winner.

 

Yes they played us perfectly because they knew we were by far the better team. They feared us & they respected that & played for a draw & got lucky but we do not have that fear, or that respect.

We will counter numerous times & we will be better than lucky.

[ollie1903]

Nervous as fuck for this one, but I can't see us bottling it.

 

 

Nervous,

If you're nervous re a 2nd / 3rd place shoot out, with the winners winning, well, fuck all, ye must have been shitting bricks at the cup final.

[fine-n-dandy]

Looking at our league games v Motherwell this season it really is quite fitting that we are deciding second on our final game.

We have taken equal points from each other. Although we deserved our win & they robbed their win but that evens out when you consider how we robbed a draw from them.

Fairs fair then that we require a draw or win & they require a win all things considered.

Same goes for Utd. They are 10 points behind us & that is exactly how many points we've taken from them.

[TwoStars]

Anderson's 400th(and last?) appearance for the Dons. I'll back him to score first/last.

He's got 401 in him.

[StandFree1982]

 

Took years off my life!

I was shitting it for the whole week prior to the game. Longest week of my life.

[Poodler]

She's away to London tonight so I'll be with the mob. If you can't find a seat you can sit on my face min. I'll be section Y near the floodlight in Boofs arms

[strachanmcgheegoal]

In, but with loon (almost acceptable football company, regrettably still below drinking age) and for the first experimental time the quine as well. I'll just apologise now to the poor fecker sitting on the other side of her. You might want to bring ear protectors!

 

Not that many seats left apart from the Upper.

[Dynamo]

What's the name of the bar in London that shows Dons games?

[Dynamo]

 

The Vault.

 

If I mention Alba Fitness will I get a discount?

 

[Tord31]

Dons confirm 15,000 tickets sold so far so should be looking at a 16,000 attendance at least.
