Woah.... it's been a while....

Soooooooooo, the Dandy Dons eh! Thank god for the international break. That was a wonderful change of scenery from watching the Dons..... wait, did I just say that? It was almost as bad as watching our lumbering, ineffective players.

Thankfully, my supposed ticket for the Scotland game didn't materialise. Although in hindsight, it would at least have prevented a monster hangover.

But anyway, I digress.... back to more important matters. Falkirk away, at Brockville.... oh no wait, i'm WELL out of date there. Suffice to say I didn't go to the game. An all important win was accomplished though. A Lee Miller header from a wonderful Considine cross (yes, I did just say that).

However, judging by the highlights, we were pretty rank, and only the abysmal finishing of former messr Lovell saved our blushes and helped us rise up to the heady heights of 10th place.

Falkirk 0 - 1 Aberdeen.

Blunderwood had these comments to make:

"It's a massive result for us at a very difficult venue. Today we got the rub of the green that we've not been getting.

"In all fairness to John (Hughes)'s team it's probably a draw but we've got the victory.

"We know we should've won games we've lost in the last couple of weeks. Hopefully we can take confidence from it take it to Tynecastle next week.

"It's been a long time since we've had a victory on a Saturday. At last we'll have a good weekend. It's been five or six weeks.

"The last two weeks we've been bottom. It hurts. We're off that and hopefully it's the last time we see that."

Yes, we got the win Jimmy (and we'll probably need a few more ugly wins to move us up the table), but the simple fact remains that the product on offer is nowhere near value for money. Hopefully with a few more wins the players can start to express themselves on the pitch and add some flair. However, I think that may be wishful thinking. Time will tell.

Next up is the jam tarts at Tynecastle. I'd bought a ticket to go, but now have nowhere to stay... so a trip to see my parents will ensue instead. I'll be glued to Sky Sports News to see the results come filtering through though (or alternatively I could get a life and go and do something FAR more worthwhile).
