I watched the Motherwell v Celtic game last night with not a hint of jealousy, but a massive dose of it. Despite the result not going their way Motherwell were excellent. There was a 20 minute spell in that second half you'd have thought they had 20x the budget of the team they were up against.
Would JBA have come to Aberdeen in January or even November (when it clearly wasn't working for JT) if Dave had trebled his wages or something? We'll never know.
But having turgidly sat through all but one of Aberdeen's games this season (both in the stand and on TV) it's hard not to wonder.
That's it really, an appreciation post for the job he's done with a micro budget, journeymen and unfancied players.
