Iain Ferguson has to be up there.

Ten man Motherwell get a draw against Celtic.

Another poor performance but thankfully that was more than enough to beat a shite Dundee side. May looks a yard slower than player who was at St Johnstone and rarely gets into a position where he might score a goal. Nwakali runs about a lot but contributes little beyond that. Christie had another poor game. Shinnie played well and took chance that was presented to him by Dundee keeper well. Coldest I have been at Pittodrie in a long time.

According to SSN Southampton to appoint Mark Hughes.

Hopefully cup win gives the team the confidence boost it desperately needs. We need to start the game the way we finished last night. I would hope that we will go with players who will be available for the semi final as we need to give them as much game time as possible. In Train then beer Y Beer then train back to Capital. 1-0 Rooney

Better game than Saturday but that was not hard. 1 goal in 4 games (inside 90 minutes) is not good. We need to approach games like we did in extra time last night from the off. Work rate was good last night but we created very few clear cut chances. Great to see Rugby park with a big crowd. Great atmosphere. Special mention to the ref. He was awful again. However we are through so got to be happy with that.

Read elsewhere that UEFA fine EFL for showing the games but Sky pay the fines.

Against my better judgement going to head over to the replay tomorrow. Hoping the fact it's a cup tie means Killie have to open up which should give us space to get after them. Given up trying to guess what team and formation McInnes will put out. Hopefully no extra time as it means I will miss last train back to Edinburgh. In Train then time for a beer hopefully. Away end Sprint back to train station. 2-0 McGinn and Rooney.

Pellegrino sacked by Southampton.

Email sent to supporters clubs suggested there would be a cash gate.

That was brutal today. We looked totally devoid of ideas. Ball was only one to get pass marks. He was not spectacular but kept things simple and worked hard. Rest of the team were awful. We look like a team that cannot wait for the seasonto end. Woodman's distribution makes me miss clangers. Christie was like being a man down. How he managed to avoid being subbed is beyond me. Most worrying thing is McInnes seems to have no idea how to change things.

Excellent news. Means even more money when we flog him in the summer.

Article in Scotsman seems to suggest Hampden is confirmed for both semi finals and also confirms prices. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/rangers/dates-announced-for-scottish-cup-semi-finals-1-4701446

Would be tempted to go with both May and Rooney through the middle from the start in this one. Cannot see the need for 2 holding midfielders against Partick should should be able to play an old fashioned 4-4-2. This is a game we should be looking to win comfortably and be on the front foot from the off. Not a chance McInnes will approach the game that way. In Train then bar near the ground Away end Beer then train back to the capital. 0-2 Rooney and McLean.

Rescheduled for 3rd April. https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/03/06/motherwell-v-aberdeen-rescheduled-fixture/

It was a stonewall penalty however.

Ticket Prices: Adults £20 Concession £10 Under 16: £5 https://www.afc.co.uk/2018/03/06/ticket-details-kilmarnock-v-aberdeen-tuesday-13th-march/ ETA: Apparently confirmed game will NOT be on TV.

Looked poor from stream I was watching. Could not understand why we would bring a defensive midfielder on when we had Greg Stewart on the bench. Surely we bring on an attacking player to try and win the game. When will McInnes understand Rooney is a central striker not a winger. May looks a shadow of the player who was at St Johnstone.

That's why Wednesdays game was cancelled. Would expect game to be off tomorrow which will mean fixtures beginning to pile up.

Unbelievably my office is closed today for a wee bit snow. No buses and no trains. About 6 inches of snow at most. We are becoming a nation of pussies. Hopefully the pubs open.

Not sure if this will survive the weather but if it does this is one we have to win as would not want to go into the cup game on three game losing run. Shinnie is back along with Christie which should improve the middle of the field with O'Connor and Nwakali dropping out. Would be tempted to give Rogers a run instead of Woodman as he has not impressed so far. In if on Work then train to Motherwell Away end Train back to the capital 1-1 Rooney

Another game against the vagrants and another gutless defensive performance. Sat far to deep again. May was utter shite although he did not get much service. Maybe folk will now give Rooney some slack in these games now. GMS misses another one on one in a big game. Cosgrove looked like someone who has had 3 starts for Carlisle United. Other than Donsdaft's favourite player we were shite in every position. I said after last 2 3-0 defeats I would not watch another game against Celtic under McInnes but stupidly went again today. Not repeating that mistake again.

Utterly speechless at that.

Two 3-0 defeats so far this season and I cannot see this being any different. We just do not seem to have any clue how to beat this mob. Thought of Ball or Nwakali in the middle against this lot is frightening. Pub long before the end I fear. In Train then beer in town Y Beer then train back to Capital 0-3 no Dons scorer. Please prove me wrong Dons.
