Hearts defender Jimmy Dunne refused to condemn the fan who hit him on the head with a microphone during the 2-1 victory over Aberdeen. The 21-year-old defender insisted that sort of thing shouldn’t happen, but played down the incident, saying he didn’t want to make a big deal about it. Good on him apart from the swan dive like he was shot. On saying that the Aberdeen fan who threw it was an idiot.

Been so much doom and gloom lately just needed to look on the bright side. With luck on our side one never knows what can happen, but judging by the two penalties awarded to Sevco today to make sure they won the game against Hamilton we will need to be at our best.

Derek McInnes fine with The Rangers semi-final fan numbers: He is correct in saying that Fergie's teams in the 80s it was quite consistent - 10,000 in Glasgow. Does having a huge fan backing mean you will win agame of football. That is a debate in it's self. As I have said before players win football matches, fans make the noise.

Beat The Rangers next Sunday and all the talk of manager change will stop and the Aberdeen fans will reunite as one again. If we get a doing then who knows. Yesterday we lost away from home to a club top of the league. If we had not played our worst first half of the season so far against Hearts it would have been a different outcome. The apathy felt by our fans at the present time is worrying but could all change next Sunday night.

Kevin Clancy penalised Lewis Ferguson for handball after he hit the deck while pressing Steven Naismith. They both fell down together and the ball hit Ferguson on the arm and that's a penalty,, Dear oh dear.

Aberdeen V The Rangers Scottish League Cup Semi Final Sunday 28th October 16.30 Play without fear. Aberdeen 2 The Rangers 0 Keep the fucking faith.

Derek McInnes: "The only positives from my team came in the second half. I thought we at least took responsibility and showed far more courage and more belief."We weren't aggressive enough. We never played with enough intent. "Scott McKenna will be back, so he will improve us. Every team needs their big players. "If there's any positive from today going into next week, it's that we need to learn - because we're going into Hampden, a proper atmosphere, a great game and, if we can take a lot of the second half into the game next week, we'll give ourselves a better chance of getting the required result." Mmmmm....... That tells me nothing I don't already know.

Good second half but we blew it in the first. McGinn played well, May did his usual...nothing, hardly knew he was playing. Steven Naismith falls down in EVERY challenge that is made them smirks right after the tackle. He is indeed an arsehole. Did anyone see what Aberdeen fan threw at the Hearts player. looked like some sort of black strap thing to me. We do not need this shit from our fans,

Aberdeen look like a team who have never played together before. This IS the worst performance of the season.

Watching this game and Aberdeen are really bad. If they get a result here it will be a miracle. Miracles happen some times.

Aberdeen Starting 11 for today: Lewis Logan Devlin Considine Shinnie GMS Ball Ferguson Lowe Cosgrove Wilson Nice.

Full TV coverage of this match is on ALBA tonight. Go shut yourself in a darkened room with only alcohol as company and avoid any media until 18.00.

Oh No He shouldn't …..

If a serving player bets that his club will win a game of football he would be hauled over the coals and punished for it. Boyd is a serving player in the SPFL who is getting paid to write trash about another club. He needs to be punished by the SPFL for his comments.

We sit back far to much when we play the so called bigger teams. We have a club with a great combination of attacking players who are not used to their full potential. D.M.must be able to see that or maybe he doesn't.

We really need a great display today after all the crap ref the Cup fiasco. No excuses because of injuries, so D.M had better get his selection spot on today. Leave May and McGinn on the bench and use if required. Start with Wilson and Gosgrove up front. Attack, attack and attack again.

Kris Boyd: https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3372778/aberdeen-semi-final-tickets-sorry-standing-scottish-football-kris-boyd/ He really detests Aberdeen Football Club. There must be something in the SPFL rule book on football players making comments like this about another club

BBC apologise to Rangers and Ryan Jack over ‘severed head’ picture used alongside Aberdeen ticket story; “When this mistake was spotted, the picture used to illustrate the story was changed on both accounts. “We regret the error and apologise to the player and to Rangers FC for this mistake.” For folk who have not seen "The Picture"...... https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/3371582/ryan-jack-bbc-rangers-picture-aberdeen-image-tickets/ :laughing:

I have know idea if we can get the siege mentality back to this club again. It starts with the club themselves growing a pair against the West Coast bias. Does this current club have this in them. I don't know. They made a start in the ticket allocation fiasco but we needed to see them fight harder for the North Stand at Hampden. Agree a lot of our fans can take it or leave it going to games now but that is down to Live TV coverage. We need to take a stand even though the West Coast Media will slam the club and their fans everytime they can but nothing new in that. Here is the latest : SunSport understands the SPFL have been far from impressed and will take it into account with allocations if Aberdeen reach the Betfred Cup Final and future semi-finals and finals. Across the Hampden corridor the SFA will also have noted it regards the Scottish Cup. Stand Free.

I went through the siege mentality with the Aberdeen side in the 80's. It worked well then and it can work again. All this shit from pundits and the Scottish Media regarding our ticket allocation can work to our advantage.

I would agree with some folk on here if this was for the Final it would look bad but it's not. We were shafted by the SPFL again to appease the only club that matters in Scottish football. Unlike some other football fans Aberdeen fans have principals, but the Scottish Football Media turn it around and try to make us a laughing stock in Scottish Football. Good on the fans

This is some of the shit we will be putting up with for a while: Tam McManus ( whoever the fuck he is ) Let's just win this match and we will see how much noise 9.000 odd Aberdeen fans can make in front of the Scottish Media live on TV..

Only 9.000 tickets sold...So what. Not bothered. We sell a lot less than that when we visit Ibrox and Parkhead and have won there. No point in listening to what the Scottish media say on this matter as they are supporting only one team to reach the final anyway. The team has to turn up on the day and reach the Final be it with 9.000 or 15.000 fans.

Was just thinking of the days when the Cup semi-finals were played midweek on a Wednesday night and Aberdeen usually took around 4.000 away fans and nobody cared. This was the days of no live TV coverage with the radio the only means of knowing the live score. My opinion is all cup semis should be held at a neutral stadium as near half way between the clubs involved on a Saturday afternoon at 15.00 regardless if the Glasgow two are involved. Play both ties at the same time. Live TV coverage one on BT and one on Sky. All ticket sales would be 50/50 if a club can not sell all their allocation tough shit still 50/50. Do not give left over tickets to the other club. Ps...Why should semi finals have to be played at Hamden at all. is it because the owners of the stadium sats it must be so. Play them round the country to full houses.

Good. That will teach the SPFL a lesson they will never forget. Aberdeen FC and their fans have principles unlike a few clubs I could mention.
