I thought it was a very good game, they are a decent team but perhaps came playing for a draw hoping to sneak a goal. We played well, after an initially good start from Groningen we got into the game in the second half of the first half and the first 20 minutes of the second half. Some good performances, particularly Flood and Pawlett in the first half. Goodwillie came on with 15 to go but didn't see much of the ball, where as I thought he might rape their defence
Got to fear for us in the second leg though, I reckon they are capable of raising their game.
The Grongingen fans were quite lively and added to the atmosphere. Did it kick off in town? I've never seen so many Polis after a game in many years. Passed about 20 Mariahs near Pittodrie on my way home, and there were plain clothed Dutch cops at the game.
