Lights out again. 

Fuck Celtic.

Today was frustrating as both the first half goals you could see happening, particularly Forrest's. He was given far too much space for his goal and it felt like the defence had just opened up for him. Maddison and Hayes played little bits of nice intricate football but couldn't deal with the physicality and the crosses into the box were dire. Logan was great, rest of the team just looked off their best. As for the penalty, I was in the North stand so hard to tell, but it looked like he lunged in when it wasn't needed.

Hampden needs better infrastructure.

Fuck Celtic.

In!

Train from Edinburgh/Pub somewhere.

North

Train back to Edinburgh

3-0 Dons.

Stunned at the number of votes right wing lunatic fringe got in Scotland. I really am surprised that so many Scots would vote for a party that clearly dispises them. A little less proud to be Scottish today.

In what way does UKIP despise Scottish people?

But yeah, it's sad to see how well UKIP have done. I think people are seeing as a protest vote and a comment on the EU more than anything else.

2-1 McGinn penalty deep into the second half

I'm not too keen on that idea. Takes away the incentive to buy a season ticket, and for those of us who live away from Aberdeen would potentially suffer as with train prices working in the opposite way (have to book early in order to get a cheapish train) the benefits of buying a ticket late would be negated by the increased price of transport.

Rumours that the actual attendance was 17k, some sort of computer error or something. I certainly felt there were more than 14k there.

YAAAAASSSSSS

That was about as untraumatic as a penalty shoot out can get but I was still struggling to watch.

YAAAAASSSSSSS! YAAAAAAAASSSSS

I can't believe the SPFL think Albion Rovers will take 37,000.

In the other SF, Utd were offered 11k tickets and after complaining have been told 13.1k is the maximum............

 

 

Corrupt to the core!

Aren't they required to offer 50% for the Scottish Cup?

1-0, pretty nervy second half, but don't think we played that badly. Played a lot worse against Partick Thistle last week. Tate worried me, but apart from that Aberdeen's defending was good and the only real chance St Johnstone had in the second half was due to a Tate mistake.

In other positives Low and Smith looked good when they came on.

Not a great performance, but not as bad as people around me seemed to think it was.

Just finished on Alba.  ;D Worth avoiding the score for. 

Hayes' Goal!

In/oot: Oot

Prematcher: Work

Match: Meal Out whilst avoiding the score

Postmatcher: Alba

Prediciton: 0-3 

The on-hold queue on the phone only took ten minutes. The lengths Aberdonians go to to avoid the £1 booking fee.

We were noticeably worse once Wallace came on

He got a huge cheer when it was announced he was coming on, probably the biggest cheer of the match. Was surprised as lots of folk I spoke to before the match felt he shouldn't even be in the squad.

Fairly poor match. Probably the better of the teams, particularly in the second half, but rarely looked like scoring.

In, finally.

First game of the season for me. Very excited.

0-0

Knew the play off final was today, but I assumed it would be in the evening. Got back from work, looking forward to watching it, only to find out the game had just finished. 

Dunfermline lose first leg of play off to 3-1 to Forfar. Could be back to back relegations for them.

Currently 4-4 on aggregate with Forfar down to 8 men apparently.

Went along with a friend, had an enjoyable night. Had no idea there were that many Aberdeen fans in Glasgow.

Feeling a little worse for wear this morning though.

Just noticed Mizer buying some sparkling wine. Tempting fate if you ask me. 1-1 is a dangerous score line.
