ABERDEEN SAVE SCOTLAND during a POOR EUROPEAN WEEK

I went to Pittodrie Stadium to watch Aberdeen v HJK Helsinki in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Celtic & Rangers both lost in Europe this week so it was down to Aberdeen to save Scotland!

Will Celtic, Rangers or Aberdeen be playing European football after the group stages?

[@ltee1233]

Aberdeen probably. Rangers are shambles rn and no Scottish team has the ability to advance the CL group stage. Aberdeen are the only hope we have left in Europe

[@markpurdie7608]

Unfortunately no i like the scots teams to do well in Europe but I can't see it hope I am wrong

[@jdfiend]

There're all shite in Europe . Rangers done well for a few seasons but last season and this season bar the betis game there're a shambles

[@KyloNight]

@@ltee1233you’re joking right? 😂😂 as shite as rangers are, they’ve got three points on the table whereas Celtic and Aberdeen sit at zero. As bad as rangers are, they’ve more chance of getting out of their group than Aberdeen or Celtic. And that’s saying something!

[@seanpaulfallon1463]

Unfortunately no, things really need to change with our teams in Europe and especially my team Celtic, it has been over a decade now since our last win in the champions league and that is not good enough. The board more interested in posting record profits than points in Europe

[@pauldonaldson6067]

Feels like a match we should've won but too many wasted chances. We went missing for a long spell in the match, at the end of the first half and start of the second half. It was only when we got an equaliser that we really started to get going again.

[@nathanhall4063]

Good to see the scottish aberdeen flag flying with pride 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐑🇦🇹🔥 SF

[@joshbhoy]

Honestly Celtic should have won, Aberdeen should have won against a poor side and Rangers (best not talk about them). But seriously this should have been 3 wins for Scottish teams this week. All of our teams were poor this week.

[@Jack-4756]

Helsinki aren’t a poor side compared to aberdeen you muppet.

[@EyesWideOp3n]

Celtic should have won but yet they lost? weird comment.

[@Wulf44445]

Aberdeen are not that much better than HJK overall. Especially the possesion play. HJK clearly superior, Aberdeen better in duels. You will not win in Helsinki.

[@deek5252]

Aberdeen were unlucky celtic too

[@samuelpinder1215]

No way you think celtic are better than Lazio. Rangers and aberdeen should've won tho

[@kaizer1903]

Poor result, thats a game we should be winning!

[@GordonCaledonia]

Yup. Duk missed a very, very good chance one-on-one with an average keeper and he blasted it right at him. He just isn't performing. I don't even think that HJK are the best Finnish team right now, it's KuPS. PAOK are the best team in the group, they handled Frankfurt last night. They get stuck in, win the ball, get forward fast, that will a tough game and the away match in Greece will be even tougher. Dons needs to concentrate on beating Hibs at Hampden and winning the League Cup which is doable, even against Rangers, I feel. And there are tough league games against Celtic and Motherwell coming up.

[@Mirablessa]

@@GordonCaledonia HJK are definitely better than KuPS. HJK have won the title three straight years and will win it again soon.

[@ryanoconnor5612]

Didn’t realise how long it’d been since Aberdeen were in the group stage! Great vlog 👏

[@stevymartin1509]

We were awful in Limassol but Aberdeen drew at home to a poor Helsinki team - hardly a saviour. They were done over a little by the ref bottling a clear red.

[@Callum-we7vz]

Aberdeen definitely not a savour yesterday, but wouldn’t say Helsinki are a poor team per say. Finnish champions but we did waste our best chances of winning a game

[@RRFCVLOGS]

As a Raith rovers fan, I am Happy to see you you coming to the Raith rovers vs Dundee United game. Think the atmosphere will be class. Both home and away stand pretty much sold out.

Enjoyable video mate! What games are you away to this weekend?

[@JoshHodginsBwfc]

Love it

[@KyloNight]

As much as rangers are rightly getting ripped for last nights display and result, they still won their first game. Celtic and Aberdeen are still trying to get their first wins, infact, Celtic are trying to get their first point. Rangers even look in a stronger position to get out of their group than Aberdeen or Celtic, as shite as they are playing. Let that one sink in.

[@user-uu6nn5nv1o]

Think about it though, Celtic are playing in the Tournament with the best players in the world and its Aberdeen's first season in Group stage football in 16 years

[@KyloNight]

@@user-uu6nn5nv1o obviously we know this. But Champions League is a step too far for Scottish football. Celtic are the best team in Scotland, but let’s be honest, even they can’t compete. Fair enough, they have played quite well, but at this level you have to be ruthless and Scottish clubs just aren’t there. Our league structure and the ones running our game have a lot to blame for this, not just the clubs. Scottish football is in a right state.

[@user-uu6nn5nv1o]

Yeah exactly

[@faddy24]

Both Aberdeen and Celtic were better than their opponents this week but only got a draw and a narrow loss out of it. Rangers, meanwhile, were just rubbish against Cypriot minnows.

[@robertmcclelland4235]

You are aware Aberdeen played against a part time team that struggled to knock out Larne? Limassol played BATE Borisov and Slovan Bratislava and over the 4 games scored 18 goals.

[@faddy24]

@@robertmcclelland4235 I think you'll have to revise your part-time comment They are going to be Finnish Champions and a good few international players in their team.

[@GordonCaledonia]

Cypriot football has came a long way in the past few years thanks to dodgy owners, etc. They have amped up their clubs big time. But Rangers should be beating teams like Aris. The way they played at home to PSV - 2-2 - made them look strong, but then they totally shat the bed the following week and since that defeat, they have looked wonky as fuck. Dons beating them 1-3 made us feel strong but then we turned in a plodding performance at Pittodrie. Need to beat Hibs at Hampden then Rangers (or Hearts!) in the Final before Christmas, that would create a massive buzz. Do damage in Europe NEXT year, I say, don't kill ourselves trying to perform miracles against PAOK and Frankfurt. Just being pragmatic.

[@Mirablessa]

@@robertmcclelland4235 Larne are a decent side. HJK have played Group stage football three seasons in a row and won the Finnish title four consecutive. And Bate Borisov isnt a good side.

[@Nicky86Min]

Are you going up to the next conference league game this thursday?

[@Derek-qu8qi]

Aberdeen didn’t save scotland? It was another poor result. Atleast Celtic gave a quality side a game. More embarrassingly is the half empty stadium for a big European game when the fans have been starved of Europe.

[@legionnairegonk4425]

Lol😅😅😅 The day after a by-election where the SNP got their backsides handed to them on a plate! Free? You have your own parliament, laws, judiciary, budget and spending. It's nobody else's fault that the SNP have turned everything in Scotland to cr*p. Stop voting for them! You are not getting another referendum. You had one, you lost. There is no evidence anything has changed people's minds. You have the very best public spending settlement of all the UK nations, so stop bleating about independence and deal with the reality of Scotland's problems... Because they are NOT caused by being part of the union or England! They are caused by your own political leadership.😉

[@croggerobber]

Missed opportunity for the dons. Really should've beaten a bang average HJK team. Just need more belief!!

Wouldn't write off Celtic just yet. Need to beat Feyenoord in Glasgow and try to do a bit better than they do in the other 3 games.

[@PotenzaZ]

That's gonna be very very difficult. Feyenoord is better than Lazio.

[@DemonetisedZone]

Wtf😂

[@faddy24]

@@PotenzaZnot necessarily, Lazio have been out of form in Serie A but have better players than Feyenoord.

[@GordonCaledonia]

Feyenoord's defending against Atletico Madrid was shocking at times. I reckon Celtic could beat them. In all honesty, Celtic and Rangers are Europa League quality and should aim for that every season, they'll never beat the BIG BOYS of Europe, money talks and bullshit walks.

[@conner1260]

Celtic won’t win a single game in their group. Quality is too poor

[@espben360]

Did Helsinki have any away fans? Where were they?

[@georgerutherford24]

Yes usual away section

[@sitruuna8]

Yes they were maybe 40-50 there, down to left from where Sam was sitting they was placed I think.

[@georgerutherford24]

Down to right

[@pattygraham830]

C’mon man, they drew at home. Sure they at least didn’t lose as per but don’t bank on Aberdeen to help a coefficient they’ve been destroying since SAF departed.

[@mcburnski]

Not an Aberdeen fan at all but it was definitely a foul throw

[@johnhamilton8354]

Saved Scotland with a draw at home.!

Did Aberdeen save Scotland or should they have won too 🤔 personally we were all 💩

[@tingtong8781]

The delusion is hilarious; this has not aged well 🤣😆😁😁🤣🤣😂.

[@0Davie0]

Both teams lacking any real quality. Both teams will be the fodder in this group. The Pittodrie crowd was like a morgue at times, which was probably down to those 2 lengthy stoppages killed Aberdeens momentum till the last 20. The ref was probably the worst I have seen some bizarre decisions. Draw was probably a fair result.

[@GordonCaledonia]

Ref looked hungover or ill, looked like shit, his brain was fucked.
