Do or Die (Dons v Falkirk)

[glasgowdon]

I think we can do this today although I did dream we blew a 2-0 lead and drew 2-2.

 

COYR.

[BobbyBiscuit]

i dreamt we were playing under Roy Aitken again and he had me playing at left back. LEFT BACK!! EFF Eff Ess.

 

I have no idea how this is going to go today, it's fair to say however that I'm shitting myself.

[manc_don]

Can't believe its come to this! Really not sure how this is going to pan out. I'm quite glad i'm not able to listen to it and i'm really worried about this one. Just hope live text is running smoothly and we can sneak a win!

[RedJohn]

Message to the players:

 

Think what you can do for the team and not what the team can do for you!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just get out there and secure SPL place for next season!!

 

COYR!

[Kowalski]

Cracking day for it, I reckon we'll scrape a win.

[scotfree]

I'm no sure what will happen today.

But I'm with Bobby on this one that I'm Shitting it!

[dave_min]

Cracking day, and there appears to be Dons fans out in force about town.

 

I'm hopeful for a win.

Not sure it's our strongest team to be honest. Would much rather have Paton in there for a start.

[mizer]

Looks like less than 10k. Energetic start but no product yet

[glasgowdon]

1-0 Reds!

 

Maclean set up by Grassi

[Kowalski]

Reasonably decent performance in the first half, Derek Young was excellent and put Kerr to shame.

Good goal from MacLean who worked hard all afternoon.

 

Second half was a disgrace.  Trying to play for a 1-0 win by sitting back?  It was shocking.  Grassi had an abysmal second half and I can't believe he wasn't hooked.

 

Kerr was the worst player in a Dons top for me.  He offers nothing and his passing is non existent.

 

Anyway, it was the result that mattered.

[mizer]

I thought McLean gave up after his goal, well more in the second half

[Mentorred]

Elvis is crying (from redweb):

 

After the match Pressley accused Aberdeen of continuously wasting time during a scrappy 90 minutes at Pittodrie.

 

He said: ``I'm not disappointed with the performance and I thought in the second half we dominated the game. I don't think we created as many opportunities as we have in recent weeks but in terms of application I couldn't fault the players.

 

``I was angry with the spoiling tactics. Aberdeen scored early on and then proceeded to spoil the game and waste time at any given opportunity by kicking the ball away or by standing in front of the ball. That enraged me and I spoke to the referee about it a number of times in the first half and again in the second half.''

 

The Bairns boss felt referee Brian Winter should have done more to keep the game flowing.

 

He added: ``I think the referee has to be strong on that one. The rules clearly indicate that kicking the ball away is a booking as is standing over the ball when a team tries to take a free kick. I needed him to be strong as we wanted to play at a tempo that Aberdeen couldn't deal with.

 

``I was at a game on Tuesday night where there was a similar type of performance from one team and there was seven minutes of added time at the end of it but today there were only three minutes. We came here to play football and win the game but we played against a team that wanted to spoil and that angers me.''

[BobbyBiscuit]

why is elvis complaining? He's guaranteed that Falkirk will not be relegated! Don't see why he's bothered with today's result with that in mind.

[El Padre™]

I have to disagree re kerr, he battled like fuck today and finally looked like he might want to be the club captain.

[Mentorred]

 

Exactly, Like Falkirk would not have done the same if they had scored first.

[baggy89]

Thank Fuck for that!

 

Surely the board can now punt the worst manager in the history of Aberdeen Football Club without fear of ever being accused of it being too early.

Hos passing was still woeful though, only surpassed by Grassi

If he could fight the way he did today, and keep his passing simple then he would be a cracking player. I just don't think it will happen though.

[Mentorred]

Thank Fuck for that!

Why? He is a hero and has saved us from the dreaded drop. New 3 year contract please. 

[manc_don]

Thank Fuck for that. We really needed those 3 points. I don't care how it was achieved but lets hope the team don't think the job is done. Come on you reds!

[RDU_64]

Not too bad a first half, got the goal which settled a lot of nerves. Then second half, just seemed to grind it out and battled hard! A refreshing and welcome change! 

 

Got the 3 points, thank fuck!

 

I thought Ifil and Duff Man were our best performers! Ifil finally showed some awareness and some strength, both of which have seemed to be missing for so long. Duff Man was solid in defence and had a very good game. Don't agree with Kow who I thought Kerr battled hard and generally played alright. Young showed plenty of fight and played well in the middle, and his celebration just showed how he feels about the club.

 

Pressely can get to fuck! I can't think of one instance of what he called 'spoiling tactics'. Prick. I hope you and your shite club gets relegated. 

 

P.S - That Showunmii lad is one of the biggest cunts I've ever seen! Brilliant when Duff man battered him into the advertising boards!

[Sandaldinho]

i heard most of the match on the radio and the comentator said Clangers barley had a save to make and couldn't remember him having to make a diving save? is that true?

 

if so wtf is elvis moaning about?

 

twat!

 

from BBC website

And, while he admitted that he might have adopted the same time-wasting tactics as Aberdeen had he been in their position, he thought it was up to the officials to stop them being successful.

fuckin moron!
