King Of The Cat Cafe Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Cue subeditors all over Scotland thinking up puns for "Glass", "breaking" and "smashing". Who is going to be the first stadium announcer to play Nick Lowe's "I Like The Sound Of Breaking Glass" after their team defeats Aberdeen.

Shanghai Hearts Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Will be interesting to see how he goes. Alex Neil did well initially at Hamilton then down south, could work out for the sheep... probably not what they hoped for by fans.

JackLadd Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Maybe Glass has fresh ideas but will only succeed if given the resource. McInness defo had them at a good consistent level but the sheep never really took to him. Edited March 23, 2021 by JackLadd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Smashing appointment. Tbh Aberdeen have been a bit fragile lately. The Aberdeen fans might see right through this tho and think he was the cheap option. There will be No glazing over it, if he starts poorly. He needs to get off to a cracking start.

DH1986 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 It appears his biggest qualification for the position is that he’s an ex-Aberdeen player. In saying that.....I hope it gives the players that new manager boost and they somehow manage to catch Hibs....... Wishful thinking no doubt.

It's not too different from Wallace Mercer going to his favoured club for a young prospect in Alex MacDonald. Mercer chose well. See what happens here.

Alex MacDonald was already at Hearts before Mercer, wasn't he? Bobby Moncur signed him. Mind you, he got the manager's job after losing, as caretaker, to Forfar at home in the cup.

Whats the 'Aberdeen way'? Ah, the mythical "Aberdeen way" and here was me thinking that the only team in Scotland that had a "way" was that lot from Lochend. Strangely enough when Glass signed for that lot they were going on about him being a player who played the "Hibs way". They were correct because he was pretty mediocre for them and mediocre is what I always consider to be their "way". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
