One of those days. I didn't think either team played particularly well but Aberdeen took their goal well. Aberdeen had more threat in the first half and I thought we carried we looked more dangerous in the second but the subs weakened us and Aberdeen saw out the game comfortably enough in the end. I thought all of our better players looked a bit off it today, perhaps a bit rusty after a two week break so hopefully we can sort that out with another break coming. Miller's 'goal' was the far end from me so I had no idea how it made it into the net never mind if there was a handball. There's no way the alleged handball against Shinnie which was right in front of me at the end should have been given as a penalty but I reserve the right to change if we had a goal chopped off for a similar non-handball. Ah well, back to worrying about the play-off place. At least straight relegation looks pretty much off the table.

I hadn't realised it Wayne Foster's penalty that he saved - couldn't have happened to a more deserving fellow. I had a memory of being at a game where the ref took exception to a double-sub happening without his permission and booked all four players but hadn't realised it was this one - proper pedantic refereeing and nothing says old school like Cammy Duncan being physically lifted off the park and up the tunnel.

The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23

Did he come through your academy? Would you not be due a hefty development fee? -
I recently finished Timmy Mallett's autobiography, Utterly Brilliant which, to my surprise, was indeed utterly brilliant. Inspired by the life of his recently deceased Syndrome brother, cycles from his home near London on a pilgrimage to Compostela de Santiago. Despite this, he doesn't concentrate on the cycling or religious aspects but more the people he meets interspersed with the stories of his life. He comes across as just an incredibly nice person who I have to admit I found inspiring - we should all be a bit more like Timmy.

I was talking to my dad the other day about Spittal and he's definitely another player that's improved in his time with us. I remember being fairly underwhelmed when he signed but his range of passing and the goals he's been scoring this season have been incredible. No idea if it's down to Kettlewell or if we've just been lucky to get him in his prime. As for OF fans in the Cooper, I sit up the back where it's fairly busy with regulars and wasn't aware of any Rangers fans in the play-off. There were plenty of Celtic fans on skippy Sunday but mainly down the front.

Cheers- I wasn't at that one! I saw us draw 0-0 at Forfar on the last game of the season when we'd just won the First Division. I've no idea if I'd been there prior to that. I've just remembered being at a 1-1 draw at Boghead when, I think, Shaun Teale equalised. I've seen us win at Dumbarton's new ground since but Boghead might count. I'm only including Scottish grounds as Motherwell have lost every away European tie I've attended.
