crichiejambos Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I know there is is a long way to go, and it won't happen but! If the impossible was to happen and Aberdeen were to go the distance and win the league,would it be a bad thing for scottish football in general! Ok it would be a one off and normal service would resumed next season,but a change would surely be welcome! Now I know first hand what like it is to suffer a successful Aberdeen team I'm based in the north east and if there is any hint of a winning team they are totally up themselves, wittering on about the Fergie years and o that guff,but a change would surely be a benefit! Maybe the Glasgow media would no be o that pleased,we us no reading the script in the championship and Aberdeen being a pain,but surely a change is needed!

Finlay James Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm gutted it's not us in their position but got to say credit to Aberdeen, they have built steadily for a few years now and are doing well. I genuinely feel we will be seriously challenging with a team full of homegrown talent within 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfstar Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Rangers staying down will have a bigger impact on affecting both sides of the old firm. If they go up both sides would sell out season tickets as the walking dead will all want tickets for the derbys. Rangers staying down could see Celtic only sell 20,000 season tickets, esp with another season not in the champions league. Aberdeen are showing what can be done, we could realistically be the next team to challenge with a couple extra signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunciboyjambo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Let's be realistic here and take the maroon specs off, we have had plenty chances to win the league but we could not do it. If we had the success Aberdeen did back in the 80's or whenever it was, we would still be singing about it too...Put it this way, do you think in 20 years we will stop singing about beating Hibs 5-1... ? We still sing about Wayne Foster all those years ago.. Why? Because it's a wind up, it's what football banter is about, slagging your rivals, creating atmosphere etc I would love nothing more for us to be the first team to break the OF in years, we just about did back in 05/06, but if Aberdeen do it, fair play. Anything any other team can do to break the OF, deprive them of money and try to slowly bring Scottish football back to a level playing field is required IMO, the OF have killed this country, and will continue twisting the knife untill we or any other club can stop it... Celtic in turmoil and rangers still on the championship next year would be the perfect scenario for us, our new set up along with the players we have would give us a great chance next year to be there or there abouts...

gashauskis9 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm all for any team outside the OF, Aberdeen, St Mirren and hibs winning it. Seems like a nice, fluffy scenario now, but life will be miserable as feck if the sheep win it. Dewy-eyed pish in the papers and on TV all summer and their 2 million loyal fans that follow them home and away won't let us forget about it for the next 30 years. It was bad enough listening to their nonsense after winning the league cup on pens. Would rather they won it than Celtic deep down, but it's hardly a pleasing alternative. I'd rather see United win it, I like what they're trying to achieve there and I think it's a more sustainable model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Parmesan Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Aberdeen aren't going to win it unfortunately, but I'd love it to happen.

jim747 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'd like to see the sheep win it rather than the tims. After the demise of the blue ugly sister, the green ugly sister is a bit lost.

Francis Albert Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 What would add to the pleasure of seeing Aberdeen win it(rather than Celtic) is if Celtic never recover the 4 point deficit they have surrendered by postponing yesterday's SPFL game so they can play a couple of meaningless friendlies.

Captain Canada Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hope they do win it. Would be a refreshing change.

red Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Aberdeen winning league and Hearts and Hibs going up would be the best possible outcome for Scottish football...Aberdeen/Hearts/Hibs crowds would go up(extra revenue for every club), Celtic's monies would go down(more chance of a repeat next year), other clubs wouldn't fear them again as happened in 05/06 and it would generate much needed excitement in our game which in turn would bring back sponsors and more revenue.

N Lincs Jambo Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 They have to, maybe not a lot but not adding the right quality in 97/98 cost us the league that year Got to agree with this. Also not enough strength in depth. IIRC we drew 9 games in the 2nd half of the season where we were leading in the 2nd half, first of those being the New Year's derby when we murdered Hibs in the 1st half, went 2-0 up early doors and looked like we were gonna get 5 or 6. Also 2-1 up at Ibrox going into 2nd half stoppage time. Anyway enough misty-eyed reflection. Totally agree with OP and with anyone who thinks that any chance to take the title out of the Weeg has to be a good thing for Scottish football.

Al Bundy Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I despise the OF and have zero sympathy for what has happened to Rangers which seems to have a negative effect on Celtic as they are missing the tribal sectarian parties. Over my Hearts following life, I have been proud that Hearts have at least endeavoured to break the duopoly. Regular third place finishes with subsequent Euro football rewards. I never went for the "best of the rest" tag and such league placings would have really meant nothing had Euro nights not presented themselves. We've managed to finish second every now and then, causing embarrassment to one of the big two. We, like Aberdeen currently, have attempted to run for the title (against both of the OF) During all of the above, we have amassed large debts in this honourable attempt to secure a Hearts title win. Along the way, we recently picked up three Scottish cup wins, ending the under achieving days. Nobody, including myself, troubled ourselves with the approaches taken to secure more cup success and the ultimate prize. Ultimately, as it turned out, we nearly fell on our sword but HMFC refused to die, despite the hand wringing of other supports who despise us for having the temerity to challenge the OF and think us arrogant. Fantastic we've come out the other side and delighted with what we look like now and the current campaign. With this backdrop, I'd find it challenging to applaud a team like Aberdeen winning the title. Nothing against them per se aside from the usual banter but to pick up a title for having gone through a fraction of what we have in its pursuit would really hack me off. I live on in hope that one of the many strong hearts squads that competed with stronger still rangers and Celtic teams, will arise again and strike whilst rangers and Celtic aren't so clever (i.e. such as right now) When the stars are lined up in our favour to use an oft used Hibs line. At least Aberdeen & Dundee Utd have moved some media headlines from the Championship to the Premier League!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groot Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 But Al life isn't a movie if it was I'd have no doubt we'd win the league, for all we know this year is 'the' year to end the duopoly if Aberdeen don't do it and Rangers come up then we might end up facing another 20-30 years of those two going head to head for the detriment of all others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
