I thought the ref was excellent yesterday. The Newell incident aside, I don't remember a bad decision in the 90 minutes,

Jim McIntyre mentioned today he knew all about Curtis Main as they were close to signing him for Ross County. Then he got injured and they dropped their interest. Glad that one didn't happen.

One of the other reasons mentioned it was vital to stay up last season was the UEFA payment we were going to get. I don't remember what was quoted, but I think it was 6 figures.

I agree we need centre back as cover, but after a taste of first team action, why would Aldred want to play second fiddle again? I've been a fan of Dunne since day one, but not convinced he could provide the quality of crosses that Tait and Cadden are capable of (and where would Cadden be playing)? Anyway, glad it's not my problem to solve. Delighted we signed him in January, and would be happy if he stayed on (as part of the Cup winning side of 2018).

Now that Kipré, Dunne and Hartley are all signed up for next season, that leaves Aldred in a tough spot. Assuming Hartley is fit, those 3 are likely to be Robinson's starters, leaving Aldred on the bench. So does he commit to a deal with us in the hope we sell someone on (or Hartley stays injured), or does he look elsewhere for the first team football his performances richly deserve? Either option is a risk for him. He's been a terrific signing, though, and slotted into the defence seamlessly - as important and impressive a January signing as Main (albeit on loan).

Was interesting to hear Robinson in his post-match saying they had learned from the Celtic game about players coming in who weren't quite up to speed. I don't know what they did to address it, but it certainly worked. They all look match sharp today.

If we had to lose I'd rather it was to Celtic. If we're going to win, I'd love to beat SeetheCo.

Time to give Kipré a new contract? It's been days now since his last one.

I seem to remember the UEFA payments are worthwhile.

Definitely hit Tait's arm, and could have been given as a foul. However, if the Aberdeen defender had just kept going he could have easily done enough to stop the cross instead of waving to the ref.

He signed an 18 month deal when he joined in January.

With the continued media chat about Aberdeen "missing three key players" let's not forget we were missing McHugh, Tanner and Hartley - three key players of our own. Also, after all the refereeing complaints we've had recently, thought Clancy didn't put a foot wrong today (although Dons fans might argue about Tait's hand ball).

Learned from our 2nd half experience against Rangers and started strongly after the break. That was key, and we never looked liked losing even before Main tied it up for us.

Even Willie Miller thinks we deserved it!

I don't believe in jinxes!

I'm on iPlayer, but this stream seems decent for me. http://live.drakulawidget.com/streamvideo10/motherwell-vs-aberdeen-live-stream-4636524.html If you see a message about flash being out of date just click "Close and Start Watching"

You can give the BBC iPlayer any postcode - they just use it to set your local region. They make you set up an account - but that's so it remembers what you have been watching so you can pick up where you left off.

Great timing. Get them signed up now while there is the excitement of the semi-final, instead of waiting a few weeks when we've been papped out the Cup and dragged back into a fight to avoid the play-off spot Seriously, though - delighted.

I think the raw deals are in the top half again. Hearts have a 3 away games at Ibrox and 20 away games overall.

The bars at Fir Park open a 9:30am too, if you're needing to calm your nerves.

Aye, he was a bit secret squirrel (understandably), but it sounded more like contract extensions than new faces.

Also confirmed by Robinson himself in his presser this morning.

10:45am was in the last club announcement.

I've invested in a couple of VPNs. Tunnelbear is the simplest to use and install and Vypr VPN which offers a few more features and is more configurable. Vypr offered me 1GB of free data as a trial before I invested in a subscription. I waited for good deals on both, but even their standard rates aren't too bad if you plan to use them regularly. NordVPN is probably the one you are thinking of - and that is well regarded too. (Be aware that sites like the BBC can sometimes block VPN access, but a little tweaking of your brower or a reconnect of the VPN app usually fixes the problem).

If you have an Android device, install Mobdro (available here) and search for BBC One Scotland. All the installation instructions are on that website too. Otherwise, on the day, I'm sure some people will post live stream links on here.
