Pepper Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Ainsworth's miss was reported as if he could have rolled Skippy in but he was some way behind. Aye I agree it's only when the ball is played that he appears in the picture. He should just have buried it anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 For the first time in many months we looked like a very well drilled team. Some very good spells of passing and moving, and excellent in the counter. Also got to be said, our defence soaked up a lot of pressure with ease. I was particularly nervous after Mcmanus went off but credit to the lads who came on and to the entire team for adapting well to the changes.

Dezz Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Not complaining in the slightest but we could have easily had another couple of goals this afternoon, Ainsworth and Johnson in particular. Great tenacious play by Las in the lead up to the penalty. Louis Moult is a hero. Although it didn't look like we were under the cosh too much towards the end (from the highlights anyway), well done to the young lads at the back for keeping it tight for the last 10-15 when McManus went off.

Tamwell Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Organised, disciplined, clinical. We'll finish top 6 this year at this rate, who would have thought it? Mark mcghee has turned a team of utter bottlers into a solid, competitive unit in a fairly short space of time. Unbelievable. Louis moult is a wee darlin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Louis Moult is a hero. He’s certainly a great find. I am sure he scored a good few before he came to us, something like 40 goals over two seasons. I know those leagues weren’t the best standard, however, I am sure he will be aiming to get at least 20 for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 The BBC report has the attendance down as 42,603, it certainly didn’t look anywhere near that from the MFC YouTube highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Another positive from today is that United and Killie both dropped more points. This depressed United fan on YouTube could give that angry/depressed Killie fan a run for his money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjw Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Great result. A solid performance in the first half then we took advantage of them in the second half. The improvement since McGhee came in and Pearson and Lasley linked up in centre mid has been massive. Watching that online you have to think Aberdeen have a serious chance of winning the league (and feel gutted our purple patch came too soon). There isn't much between the defences, Celtic have the better midfield if everyone is fit but Celtic have no quality in the final third and you would take Hayes, Rooney and McGinn ahead of any Celtic attacker. Celtic to swoop for said players in January? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe lazy reporting and they meant 42,603 empty seatsJust watched the highlights and it looks a lot emptier than it seemed at the game but I reckon 18000 odd empty seats seems about right.

' I'd like to think so but a long way to go and no doubt some disappointments ahead. That result gives us the breathing space that a defeat against Utd could be taken in our stride. We need to capitalise on our game in hand, that's the one that moves us up the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 How did Ben Hall play yesterday? Good to see Mark McGhee give young lads like Hall, Watt and Mackin some exposure to the first team. Some will make it and some won't but its looking positive. You have to wonder where the likes of Craig Moore, David Ferguson and Jack Leitch are in the pecking order though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roly Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hall was solid enough. Though I thought he was a bit culpable for the Celtic goal, comitting to a tackle and missing allowing them in behind. He didn't really put a foot wrong other than that and was just unlucky we got punished for it. Thankfully it didn't cost us in the end.

Lobey_Dosser Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hall looked comfortable yesterday, well led by McManus and Hammell. He'll have far tougher assignments though as Celtic never got going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Celtic scored from it might not be a bad thing... might make him think twice about diving in too early next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 When things aren't going well I admit I can be on these boards quick as a flash to vent so it's only fair I now lavish praise on the players and manager for what is arguably the greatest domestic result any team can achieve in Scotland; a win at Parkhead. The fact that anyone rarely wins there in the league just shows how difficult the task is. There are premier league teams who haven't won there in 30/40 years! By all accounts we played very well and more than deserved it and from the highlights we possibly could've had another couple of goals! Great to hear so many players played well. However......all the hard work will be undone if we lose at Tannadice on Boxing Day. I was on the fence with McGhee returning and still have mixed views but his interview after the game yesterday is absolutely outstanding.

If they include season ticket holders who were not physically at the game, then surely for historical records, they have to supply the number that watched the match in person. I hope we don’t subscribe to this same practice, as it it always good to know the exact number who attend each game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
