What was the Aberdeen defender thinking there, let his team down big time.
It's the underdog scenario. Rangers don't see Aberdeen as a serious threat, over a season, and so for them it's just another game. For Aberdeen it's a chance to take down a bigger target.Surely if Aberdeen up their game to play Rangers then Rangers should up their game to play Aberdeen.
Indeed, they should play to their utmost regardless of who they are playing.Surely if Aberdeen up their game to play Rangers then Rangers should up their game to play Aberdeen.
Maybe they did!Surely if Aberdeen up their game to play Rangers then Rangers should up their game to play Aberdeen.
Maybe Rangers aren’t as good as Celtic so Aberdeen are more likely to get a result against them?So, do Aberdeen try more against Rangers than Celtic?
That's how it appears to most Rangers fans.
No, Celtic were poor.Maybe Rangers aren’t as good as Celtic so Aberdeen are more likely to get a result against them?
They are professionals, it’s nonsense to suggest they try harder against certain teams. Do Motherwell try harder against Celtic?
In the last 2 M/well v Celtic games M/well seem to have found a way to defend against Celtic. In the previous game it took Celtic 97 minutes to score for a draw, then yesterday it took Celtic 2 penalties to get another draw but sadly Rangers couldn't capitalise today.No, Celtic were poor.
Talking purely football, forgetting the opposition for a moment and having watched both games, Aberdeen's application levels, organisation and willingness to shut down space quickly was far greater today than a fortnight ago.Maybe Rangers aren’t as good as Celtic so Aberdeen are more likely to get a result against them?

Celtic actually beat Motherwell in the previous game you referred to. Rangers had to rely on a 94th minute penalty to get a draw yesterday.In the last 2 M/well v Celtic games M/well seem to have found a way to defend against Celtic.

Pulled back but he fell forward, that takes some doing.Shirt was pulled before the "block".
Your saying it’s not a penalty, but in your next sentence you are saying he’s got hold of his shirt, you just can’t get away with it these days, defender was incredibly stupid in my opinion.So I don’t think it was a penalty, at all.
But, have someone hold your jersey and try and run forward, see what way your body goes and then once let go, see what happens.
I don’t think some of you have actually played football. Talk a good game. I’ve fallen forward after a shirt pull more times than I’ve fallen backwards, mainly because I was (in 90% of cases) trying to run forward. So my body was forward, I’ll bet if you were to run forward the first thing you do is move your torso forward ahead of your hips/legs (unless you all run forward leaning backwards like some keystone cop type routine, of course)
If you watch it, he breaks free of the defender's grip, runs a couple of paces, then falls over like he's been shot.So I don’t think it was a penalty, at all.
