    We will learn more about Jack Ross next season and how he truly is as a manager whilst under pressure.
    He turned them into the form team of Europe to avoid the drop, then got them promoted as champions the next season. He’ll be in a bigger job before you think he’s qualified to manage Aberdeen

    What do you think of the job the boy Hopkins? at Livi has done Mason. I think they have punched well above their weight this season for a club who would have one of the smallest budgets for the division?

    He’s been excellent. Only saw them once & they played like Brazil ‘70. I’d take him at AFC no bother

    Really?
    Any time I hear pundits talking about them I get the impression Livi are a bit “agricultural” & a bit Motherwellesque in their approach.

    Motherwellesque were beginning to sound like Dundee Utd fans when they had McNamara in charge crying about teams seeing us as a bunch of softies and playing accordingly. I’d rather watch motherwellseque football than the tripe served up by mcinnes and his soft touches. Our team would probably find the women’s league overly physical

    Did you enjoy the football we were playing yesterday? The long ball stuff was embarrassing. What's more embarrassing is slagging off other clubs for being long ball merchants.

    Play to your strengths as they say. Can someone ask Del what our strengths are?

    Why? DM called it exactly correct. Just watched the post match press conference and i thought he was brutally honest and see no reason to call for a change in management. He lost his 3 best players for that match and no team with the size of Aberdeen's budget and could expect to beat a Motherwell team who are pretty decent and very difficult to beat ( we have struggled this season with those 3 players).

    It's not exactly rocket science calling Motherwell long ball merchants. That is how Motherwell play, long ball up to big strong centre forward and pick off the second ball. That is what they do, it aint pretty and wont work all the time however if your relatively strong at the back then it's adequate for the Scottish Premiership.
