Its been a long time since I posted on here. Sorry to all of my 1 follower. Been a busy few months at work, college and Pittodrie. All future blogs will be updated more. Hopefully get a few more followers too.
This blog is just an update on how my beloved dons are getting on. Last time I updated, we were struggling a bit, with a few defeats and inconsistent performances. Fast forward to January and times have changed dramatically. Aberdeen have been playing some of their best football in years. We are 2nd in the league and in the semi final of the league cup.
What has been the biggest difference in the team has been the determination and desire to play right to the end of the match. There has been at least 10 games this season where we have scored in the last 10 minutes. These have all been crucial goals too. For me the result of the season has been the cup win at Motherwell. 2,500 fans (including myself) went to the game on a freezing cold Wednesday night. After 12 minutes Aberdeen had a man sent off and it was a case of holding out and waiting for a break. We were on the backfoot for 75 minutes. I kept thinking there was no way we could win. 5 minutes remained and Aberdeen got a corner. 10 seconds later and we were ahead. Andy Considine sent the Dons fans wild. We finished the game off in style with a brilliant counter attack in the last minute. 2-0 win at Motherwell, a ground where we struggled for years to win at.
That win set us on a very good run of games. We have clawed ourselves into 2nd place in the league and the semi final against St Johnstone looms. It is very exciting times to be an Aberdeen fan. Another great thing is the relationship the fans have with the players. Social media is apart of everybody's lives and the dons players always take the time to tweet members of the Aberdeen "Red army".
I firmly believe this season will be a successful one and can't wait to be apart of the buzz around the city.
