“Tear down the walls - Storm through the barricades”

With rallying cries coming from all quarters of the Red Army, including one of Aberdeen’s most famous sons - Denis Law - ahead of Saturday’s match against Falkirk, the players should already be taking a tremendous morale boost.
There’s no doubt that come the day Aberdeen’s supporters will be there in numbers and ready to play their part in the way that only the Red Army can. We have so often seen a Pittodrie crowd raising the roof when the chips have been down. Just think back to that night against FC Copenhagen a couple of years ago. We all knew we needed a win and the crowd poured a wall of sound onto the pitch from start to finish. It didn’t need to be orchestrated, it was completely spontaneous and the Dons’ fans demonstrated that they knew what it was all about and look how it turned out.
There is no better example of a wonderful turn around in fortunes that in 1995 when we were actually in a worse position than we are now. From the beginning of April when they suffered a narrow defeat at the hands of Kilmarnock - a game where the team was cheered off the park because they had given the kind of effort that Aberdeen fans look for - the Dons started to put together the results they needed to at least get to a play-off position. This they did with victories over Celtic, Hearts, Dundee United and Saturday’s opponents Falkirk. Then it was on to the play-off matches against Dunfermline which turned into fantastic occasions. The teams that we have to face this time are far from being of the calibre that we were up against back then, so if we up our game we can definitely win through.
To keep that strength boosting atmosphere going when they come out on Saturday, the players need to respond in style. They need to be practically tearing down the dressing room door to get out onto the park and in about the opposition. It doesn’t matter who we are playing, we need to come out and dictate the game and batter down whatever resistance that may be put in front of us. Our players can rediscover their strongest qualities and take us to a win, we all know that they are better than they have shown this season and we all know that with our backing they will get us away from the dark spectre of relegation. This won’t be about silky football; this will be all about desire and a willingness to get stuck in. It’s high time that the love affair between the players and the crowd was reignited.

To put it simply: COME ON YOU REDS
