I can't remember an Aberdeen side not being 'fired up' to play us.

Hopefully they'll have their tails up and have a go, give us some space, but I fear Warnock will go full battle mode instead, it won't be pretty.  Referee needs to be strong, and stop letting Shinnie away with murder.

He got booked early on against Celtc.  He usually gets away with six or seven blatant fouls before he picks up a yellow against us.

It still baffles me just how much he gets away with, not even just in games against Rangers

And missed a right good chance to win it late on as well.

Phil needs to call out the ref before the game and their tactics. 

 

The team also needs to be strong brave and more up for this than they have ever been before. 

 

What an opportunity we have.

That's not his style. He just wants the team to focus on winning and not side distractions or excuses like dodgy refs. It's a bit frustrating but it seems to be working.
