Fantastic being there and I remember it like it was yesterday...although nowadays I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday.

Post split fixtures - Sevco (a) 7th May Hibs (h) 13th May Hearts (a) 20th May St. Mirren (h) 24th May Septic (a) 27th May. Any idea why we're playing Saints for the 3rd time at home and septic for the 3rd time away?

Just got back, via a few pubs. Just clicked on your clip without scrolling down, and wondered why the commentators were so subdued until I realised where source was from. Not really been a fan of Scales until today...he was like a ballerina at times, definitely my MoM. Apparently we had 25% possession...but especially in the 2nd half most of their possession was because we pressed them higher up the pitch. We also had couple of good chances to put the game to bed, much clearer chances than they created with all their possession.

Scotland 1 up - McTominay again. Any links?

So you wouldn't have wanted Neil Simpson to get a cap.

Gorter wasn't on the bench so guess there was some other issue.

Thought we were fantastic for 30mins and from then on we were merely excellent. How we didn't score 6/7 is beyond me. We seem to be getting the ball wide quicker then getting crosses into the box quickly, keep that up and Miovski will soon be getting his share of the goals. Ramadami was immense today along with Shinnie (but then we expect it of him), Clarkson was also excellent until he began to run out of steam. The 2 CBs are exactly what we were missing under Goodwin, if you are in any doubt just belt it up park/head it away, don't try anything fancy.

According to the Guardian today Roy Hodgson is on his way back to them.

Scotland lulling Ireland into a false sense of security ahead of the WC match in October by letting Ireland dominate us for 80 minutes.

Just back (sort of). Having spent over 50 years in Englandshire, this was my first "away" game, since I came home, when we beat the same team in the Cup semi-final in '67! Thought we were very lucky to be 0-0 at h-t, although we were getting on top for the last 10-15 mins of the half, Fletcher should had 4 or 5 today (yet he got the MoM! ). Duk was completely anonymous for practically all the game then produces a piece of stunning strength, awareness and cheekiness. After the pen. I was shouting for McRorie to be subbed off (even if it meant Matt Kennedy would be coming on) 'cos he'll cost us the game and then he pops up for the 2nd (obviously out of position). Then when the subs were announced I thinking "Why bring Watkins on, he never does anything" and then he scores a superb goal. So we are all experts! Train back to Aberdeen was bouncing, most of the carriage were, I'd guess, Ultras but great fun...although why sing about Davie Cooper/Bobby Sands? none, absolutely none, will have the first clue about what they are singing about...just sing about us! like they did with this - "Duk" Lopez comes from Cape Verde, he gave up the sunshine to play at Pittodrie"

"Summer", not yesterday it wasn't! But, yes, the main aim from here on it is to make sure we're in the top 6 come the split.

Thought they were pretty good today - cleared it quickly whenever Livi threatened, were up against a big brute of a forward but didn't get bullied.. Also thought McKenzie had a good game and hopefully he keeps his place next week - Scales isn't better and he isn't ours, so develop our own. Why do we pull everyone back into the box when defending a corner or shy?. Leave Duk up front - he's totally lost when we're defending and keeps looking towards to bench to ask where he should be - oppo will leave at least 2 but probably 3 against him which means we've that better chance of clearing the ball and it not coming straight back.

So you missed Coulson's shot...it went out for a shy according to the wifie on open mics!

Michael Stewart was apopletic when Craig Levein's name was brought up!

We might be the first Scottish Club to appoint a women manager - Greek assistant coach, Anna Rexia, seen refusing to go into Greggs.

At least it's only 1.

Frank Lampard might be available shortly too!

The Aberdeen squad should watch him and realise what can happen if you keep fighting and keep believing

Our main threat was Mcrorie bombing forward and Duk muscling his way through...Miovski (sorry DD) just isn't cutting it, he was unlucky with the lob but should have buried the one-on-one, hopefully it's a strikers temporary dry spell (even Joey had the occasional time when he didn't score (probably 3 or 4 games!) but he has to start scoring soon, hat-trick next Sunday would do. Kennedy was simply shite...twice he moved across the park in the first half, with an obvious ball out wide to Coulson and each time he punted the ball into touch, to misquote Oscar Wilde "to misplace 1 pass is unfortunate but...etc" and why does he take all our corners? You never feel confident that we'll score from his corner kicks (remember the days when we had corner routines under McInnes/Glass), he puts the ball on the quadrant, sticks his arm up and loops the ball into the area, so even if Stewart or Scales win it there's no pace on the ball...contrast with Hayes' corner, whipped in so that the attackers can attack the ball. Anyway no defeats in '23, no goals conceded in '23.

Doubt if that will continue given our defence.

Since he came here or just tonight?

Hopefully we appeal against Stewart's red card, he gets another match added on to his suspension for being frivolous and by the time of the semi-final we've got in some-one (Ash Taylor would be an upgrade, actually Jeremy Ifil would be an upgrade) who can actually control or pass the ball (he's good at headering it).

Away to Darvel
