I hate to tell you…. the ref who hates us more than any other, is VAR. That c**t Steven McLean. As an aside from Wednesday, I’ve never seen a ref give a penalty in such an extravagant & gleeful manner as McLean did against us at Dens Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 5 hours ago, betting competition said: If Aberdeen don't win this match, it will match the club's record of 12 consecutive league games without a victory. Interestingly, the previous record, set in 1999, was broken with a thrilling 6-5 win against Motherwell! Motherwell with an easy win! I remember that absolute freak show of a game, and reading text updates that came in in a weird order. We've had a bunch of crazy high scoring games over the years. 0-0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely hate this patter. Fans of just about every team in the land believe this is the case with their team and its, quite frankly, nonsense. 3 hours ago, Thenorthernlight said: I hate to tell you…. the ref who hates us more than any other This is a close second. Referees don't hate any team. I mean, we can argue about their ability until the cows come home, but the idea of a professional referee 'hating' a particular club is the mutterings of a primary school child. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the game, and 3-3 certainly surprised me in the end. I thought we should have won it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall the Motherwell scarves being tossed onto the pitch at 4-1. Robbie Winters and John Spencer netted hat-tricks, and two Scotland Keepers were playing as Aberdeen led 4-1 and 6-3, almost letting the lead slip away - such a bizzare match!

Do I think any of the referees are biased towards any particular club in this country? No. Do I think they are all incompetent shitebags? Yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I went to the 4-2 game at Fir Park in November and it still ranks as one of our most complete performances of the season. Leven was on the coaching staff that day, although he was in the 3-3 game too, so I wonder if he will look back at that and try some similar things tomorrow in terms of personnel and structure. We were in a (sort of) 5-4-1 that day and were really effective at getting bodies forward to support Miovski. There will be the temptation to make sweeping changes after such an anaemic performance at Dundee, but it's not like we have great strength in depth. I do worry a bit about Hoilett starting three games in a week, so I suppose Duk could be a possibility from the start - he has scored three in two against Motherwell despite having a disappointing season, and he didn't start either game, but that is likely just coincidence rather than anything particular about Motherwell's set-up. Shinnie was excellent against St Mirren and then Kilmarnock, but he did struggle against Dundee, which is maybe the quick turnaround catching up with him a bit. We would likely be worse without him, though, and we don't really have anybody to fill his role if he were to be rested. I would be tempted to stick with Barron, Shinnie and Phillips, with McGrath getting as central as possible and either Duk or Hoilett hopefully providing some width. The defence is rubbish, but the other options aren't good either, so I'd imagine it will be unchanged barring any injuries or suchlike. I expect Motherwell to win, but hopefully the win earlier in the season and the comeback at Pittodrie will give the players encouragement that they can have some joy against this team.
