[Joe pike 66]

No shots on target.

Why is Ruth only on the bench?

Thought he needed game time or else is he not good enough?

[daytripping 1,247]

1 nil the young dons!! thought they'd get beat, great stuff.

[daytripping 1,247]

Should have been free for season holders, no matches last year and it usually is free. 

[The Cockney Don 648]

Yaaaas.

Ruth on and scores.

[The Cockney Don 648]

Arbroath equalised 90+4.

Penalties.

[The Cockney Don 648]

Mykyta scores the first, 1-0.

Ritchie saves, 1-0.

[Ohjimmyjimmy 807]

4-1 win to the Dons

[The Cockney Don 648]

Mykyta, Ruth, Duncan and Hanratty score while Tom Ritchie saves two penalties to send the Dons through to the third round.

Hamilton away next.

Good win for the young Dons, as Arbroath are no mugs, with that wiley old cunt in charge. 

[slippers 255]

How strong a team did Arbroath put out? Brilliant result if they had a strong team out! 

[aberdeen1970 2,403]

Good win. 

Ruth slipped down the pecking order if he's on the bench for the b team? 

[G31DON 528]

Well played young guys. Hopefully the start of a clear path from youth teams up to senior team. 

Play well and the chance is there. A bit like Hamilton, but at a higher level. 

[super_al 278]

Great build up play for our goal yesterday.

[strachanmcgheegoal 940]

I see from Twitter world that Gurr was playing.  But hardly impressing.

[King Street Loon 1,983]

Robson said Gurr was very good.

Might just be being nice, but I don't think that's Robsons way.

Maybe not.....but maybe that's Gurr found his true level

Duncan doing well but how will he get a chance with our 26 man first team squad? We were told this wouldn't happen.

Any idea what type of player he is? See he's been scoring goals. Is he a creative central midfielder?

Would aberdeen be any worse off incorporating more of these prospects in the youth side

[Pash 307]

He is an attacking winger (I think?) with a wand of a left foot.

@ericblack4bosswill ken his dad.

[Pash 307]

There was word on him going on loan last I heard.

He's probably more of a wide player but he's got a great shot on him and good on the ball. Absolutely wasting himself playing u18s football but at least he's showing a good attitude. 

[aberdeen1970 2,403]

Get him in the team. Got to be better than Ojo in that role.

Anyone who thinks Ojo is an attacking midfielder is off their heads.

Had the surprise factor the first couple of times due to his effort but its past its sell by date now.

He's not a football player.

Playing in the first team at a young age did no harm to McLeish, Cooper, Simpson, Black and Hewitt.

If you have the ability, you should be selected. A start has been made with McKenzie and Ramsay and it’s is only right that others should be given an opportunity if playing well for development team.
