Aberdeen v Hearts

[donsviking]

First half was a bit turgid and Hearts opened us up a few times but thankfully could not score. Second half we played much better and could have scored more goals. Best I have seen from us for a while. More of the same please next week.

Watched the highlights and the run from Miovski at the second goal which left Vinny in space was superb, took two defenders with him. Class.

Was hoping to see it on Sportscene, but no. Duk going down in the box first half, was it a shout or nothing in it. He was certainly fouled before he reached the box, but no idea if it was a decent shout or not from where I sit.

I thought it would have been a very soft pen, however as pointed out on redtv it wisna less o a pen than the PJMs got last week against us.

And it was inexcusable fae the ref to nae book the defender for the foul on Duk outside the area. Hun clunt

A lot of fair comments and summaries here.

A decent, if unspectacular performance. I think we deserved it on that 2nd half performance.

Roos was very good - solid and a couple of very good stops.

CH’s a lot more solid. Stewart had the Mekon in his hipper all day and apart from his one brain fart pass which nearly cost a goal, played well.

McKenzie was solid. Did ok for his first game back.

Richardson is a major concern though. He just has no game awareness. Spends all his time ball watching instead of reading the game and movement of opposition players around him. I’m not sure if thats coachable tbh.

Midfield was solid. Struggled a bit first half but ran the show second half. Barron and Clarkson could be good together once they gel. I thought Ramadani had his best game for us. Did his job and a lovely pass for Duk’s goal.

Miovski quiet again but he was effective and did some good stuff up top with Duk.

The main man today though was Duk. He was fantastic. The guy is ideal for Scottish fitba - pace, power, bullies opponents, has a bit of skill & generally disna know fit he’s going to do next.

I think he and Miovski deserve a run together.

Nice finish by Vinny, after a hilarious run fae Duk. Looked like he was running through treacle and the diets just left him to it.

So a good day at the office - always nice to beat those specimens.

Disna make up for last week mind. Need a win away next week inna…

Strange thing was he looked as though he was going to whistle at the initial foul and let play carry on, but then at the penalty shout he just seemed to forget the initial foul in the build up.
I thought the ref was poor throughout today.

Well played Dons, got rid of that tippy tappy stuff around our own penalty area which made a difference.

I watched the whole game on Hesgoal, which is just as well because the BBC highlights were the worst I have seen for ages.
They missed out practically every controversial moment in the game.
