Livingston v Aberdeen

[RicoS321]

Watched on the telly internet, but just catching up with the thread. A good defensive display. I felt we struggled with the pitch a lot, despite it looking absolutely fine. There were a number of times when players ran beyond balls and struggled to turn quickly, and a few touches that struck me as unusual, even for some of our lads currently. Couldn't tell if it was too sticky, or just that they were tired. Tiredness is certainly a big issue for us this season, we really aren't coping with the two fixtures per week well at all. Every game following Europe we've looked sluggish. The same could be said for every team in that situation of course, it's quite common. In that regard, to come away with three points is not to be sniffed at. If we can limp over the line until January, picking up wins like today then that's fine. I think it's the way it has to be. 

It is ironic that since Livi have started playing football, their now more likely to go down. Martindale is going to have to bring back the shitefest soon. Hopefully we can let him borrow ours.

That was my first game of the season and a great 3 points, nice company, shopping, bacardi, chips and a cracking goal what's not to like

A pretty honest description of the game from Devlin..."to be honest,I thought we were rubbish"

Bloody love Devlin.

He’s felt like ‘Aberdeen’ from day one. Rare for me to take to a player so early and so completely but feels like he’s been here forever not just 2 1/2 years.

There can be better players at us for longer who don’t feel so integral to the club for me. He’s not perfect but not coincidental to me that our results are better when he’s in the team (I think?). I just like how the guy conducts himself. Chuffed he’s back getting a consistent run in the team.

Agree 100% with every word of that.

Wish he was 22 not 32 and I would be giving him a five year contract

Funny, much like people were drawn to miovski back in the day, I was drawn to devlin, blue collar hard working pro. Bit like a rougvie, simmie, cooper, maybe more recently Andy considine, even a Ross mcccrorie. Much like shinnie, if only we had more Scottish players like them (I suppose non Scots are ok too.)

i was very proud of him when he played for Scotland and gutted when he didn’t play in the latter part of last season, a factor in our form and results in my opinion. Worth noting our form has picked up this season when he stayed in the team, not a huge deal and I know we changed formation, but a factor.
