How do you know where it came from?

I read them discussing it on their forum . Apparently the ones booing were getting told to shut up by other fans when McGrath was coming on . Strange considering the magnitude of the game to boo one of your own players even if he has signed a contract with one of their rivals .

Hopefully they'll boo him loudly next week!

I enjoy following the progress of Mcginn/Villa but then reading the praise he gets is bittersweet when they inevitably bring up how much of a bargain/steal he was...

Did he not put in the cross that lead to the goal?

You could see he brought a control and intelligence to the Aberdeen team that they had been lacking, and that was his first game in almost 3 months.

I think he'll turn out to be a very good signing.

I’m really excited about him signing, I think he’ll do well.

If I’m honest, I thought he was pretty poor when he came on yesterday though. I thought it showed it was his first game for a few months.

Maybe though doesn’t make it any less daft to boo your own player coming on when you’re actually hoping he can have a positive effect on a game unless you don’t want him too which would be very strange indeed .

Thought he was ok considering first minutes in 4.5 months and he was expected to play 52 mins in a semi final !!

Was involved with the winning goal - has a shot off target and played some decent enough passes. Had a few crap crosses though but looks like he will suit Hibs style of play. Think he made a difference to the Dons and must be rated if they chucked him in after being out injured for so long.

As folk have said we can't properly judge since he has been out for so long.

But I thought he was one of the few Aberdeen players trying something when they were struggling for a breakthrough. Hopefully he gets minutes and is ready for pre-season

His footballing intelligence won Aberdeen the game

At one point before his injury he was doing well for them in getting assists and goals …

Awkward position for him next week. Imagine if he scores a goal that contributes to us missing out on 3rd at Aberdeen's expense.

Hope he does play and wants to play. It'll show his character.

I’d be pretty surprised if he plays v Us tbh.

It's good of them to get him ready and fit for our European Campaign next season 👌👍

He will be sh***ing himself after Rocky has a quiet word with him.

Agree

It puts him in a terrible position

I've seen Scott Brown mentioned playing against Celtic but what was at stake ?

We are talking about direct competition for group European football with your future employers

I doubt Aberdeen will put him in that position

Think he will come on from the bench

Really looking forward to seeing how he integrates with squad next season - just hope he does not get on the pitch today

Oh well. Not much he can do from 0-3 down.

Been descent since coming on. Needs to be reminded he's playing in green next season.

Was probably Aberdeens best player when he came on.
