Just home. Fucking Baltic.

If we hadn’t won tonight we’d have been as well just turning the lights off for good. Livi were non existent even before the red card (which was very harsh I thought). Haven’t looked at the other comments but looked we should have had at least 1, probably 2 pens? 

Bates my MOTM. Have been critical of him up until now but the last couple of games he has looked a bit better.

JET is infuriating. Has a great first touch but he’s so slow deciding what he’s going to do next.

Same again at the weekend hopefully.

The red wasn't harsh. Cunt was lucky to stay on the park for the first tackle IMO.

That was chilly like 

Watkins/ hedges were decent.

jet often appears lazy but can pass a ball. 

ramirez has some real brilliant moments 

Livi were shit

Jet can pass a ball, but the 1 or 2 times he threads a pass, he’ll lose it 8 or 9 times by being so laboriously slow to release the ball

[redstrummer]

just back in , thought we were superb first half

Was meaning the second yellow itself was harsh. The first yellow for the tackle on Ojo looked dirty at the time but haven’t seen it again.

Do you realise how much that shit costs? ?

I’ll stick with this free option thanks very much.

Watkins was superb first half,  ball just seems to stick to him. I’ve been pretty critical of Bates but he played really well tonight. Hopefully that’s him settling in and finding a bit of form.

Ash Taylor had his moments of convincing folk he was a player in games like that as well

[sheepcrooky]

Fucking freezing 

We played well first half, especially Hedges up front and Bates/McRorie at the back 

The referee was way out of his depth

Two very decent penalty shouts

Fucking traffic getting onto Market Street after the game was mental

We’re back.

Agree although I do think he made a difference today. We've missed his physicality and playmaking skills. He's possibly the slowest player I've ever seen play for Aberdeen. I'd like to see him start against St Mirren.

[BonnieDon]

The referees have been appalling this season. Irrespective of the Livi players sending off, so many poor decisions going against us. A blatant penalty denied to us tonight.

[OnceFaeMintlaw]

Is this the first league game we’ve won by more than a single goal?

Note to pedants -  first time this season.

If JET starts, it has to be right up front and  when Ramirez is unavailable. He’s just too darn slow to play anywhere else.

Gallagher is fit for Saturday but no way does he start. Maybe, given time, it would allow us to play a back 3 or push McCrorie into midfield 

[torry_battery_ram]

Livingston are easily the worst team in the league. I thought when we played them at the Tony Macaroni and I thought it again tonight.

We will be nowhere near relegation trouble but still a long way from looking a top 4 side.

Bates and McCrorie look to be starting to form a nice partnership. We definitely could do with a couple of wingers though as the number of times we broke but lacked a winger to get a cross in.

About as deadly as Darren Mackie

Needs to work harder on his speed and awareness 

Unbelievably slow 

Occasionally a good touch but if are going to keep him he must work harder and far quicker

No.

First game of the season, 2-0 v Dundee Utd.

That was also our last clean sheet I think

Thats a boost. Although McCrorie and Bates look like they could forge a decent partnership at the back.

I'm eager to see Ramsay return to the starting lineup and I'm also keen to see McKenzie back. I'm really unconvinced by Hayes at left back.

[Stoneybloke]

Only saw the highlights tonight. Much better movement up field, initiated by Jet a few times with a defence splitting though pass, something that has been lacking for a while.

[Ke1t]

Also, that Odin Bailey lad for Livi, on loan from Birmingham, looks like he'd be some player in a better team... ie, ours. 

21 years old, BCFC don't seem to know what to do with him, having him out on permaloan to various shit teams, ie Livi... 

Left footed, pacy, attacking midfielder, would be a natural replacement for two ageing left-footed wide players currently at the club. 

 

[Clydeside_Sheep]

A very welcome result.  We are definitely "getting there" as a unit, though of course this season is already no more than a transition period.

With more games together and a couple more transfer windows, I think we will blossom as a pretty good team next season.

Clean sheet v Hibs was it not. But only 3 this season is poor

Oooft gotta feel for Bristol city fans. They just get rid of Mcinnes & they sign JET ? talk aboot highs & lows

 

oh, wait a minute ?

[RUL]

I enjoyed that. Strong all over the park. Thought bates and Ferguson were both very good. 

Dominated possession and created loads. What's not to like.

Attention seeker, fair play.

[Don_Corleone]

Only saw the second half so I think, by the comments on here, I probably missed the best of the game.

what I saw was fairly uninspiring against a team that are utterly dire. However, a win was much needed and a win’s what we got, so happy days.
