In other news, the Dons were substandard today. All credit to Rangers, they didn't allow us to play. Naismith was excellent, he gave Considine, Foster and Byrne (yes, JC tried three different left-backs at different stages) a torrid time.

McCulloch was well out of line going for Severin like that - good job the lino saw it, Kenny Clark had a fucking holocaust. Normally I don't go in for slagging the referee (given that I am one), but Scotland's 'best official' was miles below par.

Lee Miller, Zander and Langfield were excellent as usual. Barry Nic and Severin (before he got crocked) also looked good, but in general we were outplayed by a better team. Much as it pains me to say it, Rangers have the look of champions this season.

My opinion is that yesterday's match was a fucking terrible display of football. Rangers looked considerably more threatening than Aberdeen, and that was with a man short. The atmosphere was poor from both sets of fans - that is the quietest I have ever witnessed the Rangers end.

I disagree with you, Christy; I think the referee handled the game very well. There were moments where it could have bubbled over big style, but he was quite sensible with the adminstration of yellow cards. It was beautiful to see Chris Clark chop Hutton back though. I never ever thought I'd see Clark do something like that.

The problem with Aberdeen yesterday was that in the second half, we had to come out and play and direct the tempo of the game. We're terrible at that. We don't have the players capable of that in terms of picking out passes, finding space, making the correct decisions, and essentially, the final ball. Touzani came on and acted as a link between midfueld and defence - always dropping deep to receive the ball from the centre-backs. This would have been fine if we were 2-1 up. But we weren't. And still, every single "move" ended in an aimless punt up the park.

Aberdeen are at their best when they play a high tempo counter-attacking game. Some of Calderwood's substitutions baffled me. Usually I'm not too disappointed with a draw against Rangers, but I felt they were there for the taking. We just don't have the overall ability to take the game to stronger opponents.

Rangers, I'm sure, would have been delighted with the draw. Even though they had four very good chances in the second half. I would have given Langfield man of the match. Twice he bailed us out completely.

Langfield for man of the match for sure. Twice I was all but covering my eyes as Rangers went into the box and twice Langfield came away with the ball. Been great recently.

I quite enjoyed the moment when Severin was walking round Hutton in the box looking him up and down and as if he was shit on his shoe. Made me smile that did! And more of that kind of passion, maybe not action, from Clark.

Twice? I counted 4 or 5 times that Langfield saved our skin.

I never thought i'd say it so soon but we needed Severin in the second half although he was injured hence why he came off.

Kenny Clark was absoloutely appauling. Every dead ball, Rangers were allowed to take it 5 yards forward, quickly and when Aberdeen tried to take a quick one, the ref would stop us. Really want to see the highlights of Clark's tackle and McCulloch's sending off as my eyesight is too shit to make out the other end clearly.

I kinda thought we would go into a long ball play though as it worked (for the first time ever) against Copenhagen and as always it did nothing for us.

At least we got the point and we have Gretna, Caley and Falkirk all games where we should get 9 points from.

Apologies. Must have had my eyes closed more than I thought...

Nice bunch of fans, those lovel rangers supporters -

- full bottle of bud thrown into a bus shelter at the brig o'dee while half a dozen (inc myself) were standing in it.

- coin missing me by inches at half time, chuck from the away end.

seriously, get a fucking grip.

If we get five points, I'll probably be happy. We have no right to assume we should beat Caley and Falkirk. Falkirk outplayed us every time we played them last season.

Caley are resurgent and, in certain positions, have better players than us.

Furthermore, if we show the same level of desire against Gretna as we did against Rangers yesterday, we probably won't win.

We have St. Mirren at Love Street coming up too, and our record there in recent years is atrocious.

We have a key two weeks coming up, I think. It could make or break our top four ambitions.

We got a win against Copenhagen a draw against the Huns so im quite happy, although at half time yesterday, i fully expected us to go and get the win! But Rangers played well a man down, so i think a draw was a fair result!

I think we should get a decent few points over our next few games, we have to to get ourselves back up for Europe!!

Anyway im still a happy Dons supporter and i cant wait till Gretna!

that is poor behaviour but at the end of the day we're talking about a bunch of fucking hun minks. That lot can barely spell class, let alone display it.

At least you dont have to live in a city full of the scummy wee fucks...

and am I the only person who noticed fergus-hun grabbing someone by the throat? I only saw the highlights so I dunno if he was provoked but surely that's a post game ban even if the ref never saw it at the time?
