Cast No Shadow Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 For some reason I don't mind United. Their fans seem pretty sound and I love the fact they hate the Old Firm so much. This.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 United and Killie are 2 clubs I have not witnessed any great malice in. Partick ICT would be another 2.

Debut 4 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I've encountered fans of most clubs mentioned. And whether it bothers you or not they don't like Hearts. Like we aspire to challenge the OF they think they can topple Hearts as being seen as one of the top 3 strongest clubs in Scotland. I hate the thought of teams like that getting the better of us. Because of our situation in recent years we've lost more games to clubs like that and they love it. Personally I've hated it. There's a lot of contempt for us from their fans because we see ourselves as a big club and they look at our trophy haul and wonder why? It may be better than theirs but not by a million miles. The love-in for some of these clubs is sickly. Feck them all ........before they do it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cast No Shadow Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Seriously? Dundee Utd are a great club? Care to explain. A club who consistently punch above their weight: reach cup semi-finals and finals, win the odd trophy, qualify for Europe, have a fantastic academy which produces some terrific talent. They have a very admirable European history. Quite simply, we should now be aiming to emulate what they have achieved over the past eight years or so.

Buffalo Bill Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I really don't like Aberdeen so I'm glad Utd beat them. Comedy goalkeeping too Aberdeen have had a bit of an upsurge in fortunes over the last couple of years, but for 15 years before that, they were absolutely woeful. They were pulling in crowds of 7,000 a few years ago. In saying all that, I recognise that a strong Aberdeen is good for Scottish football.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I always laugh at the second star for winning the super cup which is basically only one match or did they play two back then? They played 2. Was a fair effort, Hamburg were a far better side than Real Madrid back then, probably more glory in the Super Cup win. They got to the semi of the CWC that season too and not long after narrowly lost out in a European Cup Q-F, it would be pathetic to dispute the quality of that side. But even then their was apathy, its that kind of a place up here. I would say the apathy has lapsed for the time being, instead there is delusion now. Even adding Shinnie and McLean, these are ordinary players not internationals as they had in the 80's, players desired by clubs all over. Reasonably confident our outlook will catch them sooner than most think, fortunately the SPFL Premier is not a league that takes huge investment to be in the elite e.g ICT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendricks Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Really a very good season for Aberdeen regardless of the lack of 3 of the bigger clubs. To have won comfortably more games and claimed more points in the SPL than either Hibs or Rangers have in the Championship against some really awful sides says a lot. They are definitely the team to aspire to challenge next season especially as they look like they are being well run and targeting more than decent SPL standard players. An on form 05-06 Hearts side (picked by someone who knew what they were doing) would clearly have wiped the floor with them but then again it did cost a lot of money to assemble. Equally this Aberdeen side would get nowhere near the Aberdeen of the 80's or even the early 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I struggle to see how it's been a good season for them. They had the potential to win the league due to a poor Celtic, but bottled it. They've pretty much pished 2nd place, which is realistically what most clubs go for in the top flight as winning it is pretty much out of the question given the resources of Celtic (usually it would be 3rd behind the 2 Old Firm clubs of old), whilst giving Celtic a good run for their money into the bargain. You would usually expect Celtic to be around 20 points clear at this stage of the season, but Aberdeen are still only 8 points behind with 4 games to play. That's not bad all things considered, so I would say it's been a pretty solid season for them. If Hearts were in the same position next year, would you still struggle to see how it had been a good season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
