Match Thread Aberdeen 2 - 3 Motherwell

[Harry's Double Shuffle]

Last couple of years the rare event of a decent home win wouldve inevitably have been followed by a deflating home defeat/draw the following week. See Utd yesterday, hoho. We simply cannot let that happen this weekend and must head down to Perth on 6 points, hopefully a tidy looking GD, and a spring in the step. COYR!!!

Any news on Coulsons scan and the severity of his injury?

3-0

Motherwell red car - I'll go with Maguire

[Proud Dandy]

Another couple of goals for Bojan the Hun slayer. Stewart to cope comfortably with Van Veen throughout 

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Just play our game and don’t get sucked into theirs.

This ^^^^^ 100%.

Motherwell will spend the first 20 minutes of the game fouling in rotation. They'll foul, foul and foul again, every single time we get the ball. Complete and utter shitehousery with the sole intention of knocking us out of our playing pattern to the point that we effectively lose the plot and allow them into the game. 

It's a fucking catastrophe of a way to play football but it worked against us so often last season. 

We absolutely need just to concentrate on our own game. Do the simple things right, keep the tempo high, go for the throat early and don't let them get comfortable. 

A decent referee who won't stand back and let them commit constant fouls would be handy. 

I fucking hate Motherwell.

Sadly, this is where your plan falls apart 

[Daisy1903]

Van Veen is due a red card. Should've been sent off 3 times against us last season. Would love Stewart to score and ram it down his throat the horrible big strawberry picking arsehole

We could just throw chips at him.

I agree… but we need to be in the refs face & ear from the first minute.

We’re too naive. 

I hate Motherwell & would love them to be relegated.

Me too. The way they embarrassed the league in Europe was the final straw.

5-0 Aberdeen. 
 

Undefeated for the rest of the season. 
 

Miovski with all five. #worldclass

Think we will win probably by 2 or 3 but players will get kicked all over the place and if Saturdays anything to go by with little protection

It's not even just a lack of protection... the referees seem to delight in fucking us over at every chance, over and above waving play on when they've fouled our players, or awarding phantom fouls at critical times in our passage of play.

Did Bez not get carded for having the temerity to be smashed in the face with the ball by the Livi keeper? 

 

[Sonoftherock]

Someone please just stand up to Van Veen, at the very least.

Bullied us three times last season. That was one of the biggest embarrassments in a season of ritual humiliation. Bad enough happening once, but not to do anything about him after the first showing was unacceptable.

[Tord31]

Surely team picks itself

Clarkson for Coulson

Should keep a record this season. St Mirren penalty for a shoulder to shoulder outside the box was shite.

Not as bad as Vinny getting booked for being punched as you say, Ojo red carded for letting a fan push him, McGregor escaping a penalty and red card for police axing Hedges and the Ross County penalty for smashing the ball onto Hayes arm from a yard away were all pretty honking decisions.

I mean, it happens so routinely that it eventually stops looking like purely bad refereeing.

From last season as well, Hibs very own shaved ape, Ryan Porteous getting a retrospective red card for an assault on Ramirez which he got away with at the time. And guess who then scored the only goal of the game after that assault.

[Torry Tosser]

4-0

Att 16,078...and a stray ginger Cat in the Dick Donald.?

[JojoJuan]

Outside Celtic and Rangers, this is one of the games I am most keen to see a good performance. The results and performances against Motherwell last season were some of the most sickening. Feeling a little more excited this season, there seems to be a few players that should be enjoyable to watch at least

You are clearly the best person to keep this record. 
 

You could always start a thread called ref decisions that went against us.

Nah.

Don’t think anybody is really that bothered to be honest.

I'm bothered. But feel free to steer clear* if you're not interested.

Fair question, guess Hearts were also winning some other games during the season. Motherwell seemed to have made Europe on the back of nothing but results against us (not strictly true, but feels that way)

I think given the noise about some of the decisions then plenty of people are interested. 

Take it you weren't bothered about McGregor pole axing Hedges last year or the dodgy penalty at Ibrox? You not discuss Ojo getting shoved or Vinny getting punched either?
