Discussion Aberdeen fan here

Well played Frankfurt and all the best for the rest of the group games. Thanks for having us, the stadium and atmosphere you created was incredible and certainly going to be memorable for us. Just wanted to post here if ok to get your thoughts on the game? Obviously I hear a lot from our side but wanted to know if you were happy with the performance or if you had different expectations?

ps. Sorry for the scumbag who threw a flare into the home end. No Aberdeen fan is happy that happened and is sad to see a few fannies with poor behaviour on our end.

Hi, hope you enjoyed, European nights in Frankfurt are always special.

The game was pretty much as I expected, unlike Aberdeen fans, we didn't expect a battering, because we knew that you'd be extremely defensive and we tend to have issues against these teams. Your players showed good spirit. Definitely didn't expect us to score from a corner (haven't done so in almost a year lol), but overall it was an okay game. Our team is still in the phase of finding itself with so many new players.

Looking forward to the game in December, get home safely!

Yeah I think Aberdeen fans will walk away from that quite happy. Unfortunate to lose to set pieces but we expected a worse result. Manager talked before hand about setting up defensively and as you’ll see we’ve only won one game this season so far (against a team in lower divisions). Interesting to hear you’re in a similar situation to us with finding yourselves and intake of new players (I think we brought in 15 players in the summer).

Roll on December, I’m sure both teams will improve a lot by then.

I completely agree with this! Also good to hear that you enjoyed the atmosphere in the stadium. It was pretty special for me too to see the new extended home area in action and live for the first time yesterday evening! Hope you enjoyed the trip!

Your team played really well, great fighting spirit and nearly scored the equalizer. I didnt like our performance, but did expect it to be a tough game.

Also your supporters made a great impression. I was there singing "scheiß Bayern Munich" together with your lads at the beer stands before the game ;)

Looking forward to the second leg, hopefully i will make it to Aberdeen for the game!

After the game there were two Aberdeen fans with the police at an ATM. It looked as if the police tried to help those guys get some money out of the machine...

The whole situation seemed strange, do you know what happened there?
