My post was definitely more hope than expectation. Yeah, unfortunately. Although rangers have a different feel to them. Celtic feel like rangers 3/4 years ago at the start of Gerrard.

EH11 2NL Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 30 minutes ago, Smith's right boot said: I've got a feeling celtic will improve, I think Forrest is injured, along with their Centre half and the guy they signed who finished top goal scorer in Holland last season. I'm not too sure they are as bad as some hope. I agree. The best performance I've seen against Hearts this season was the first half at Parkhead. Admittedly we were terrible, but they'll say that was because they were attacking so well. Consistency seems to be their problem, they done their best to throw that game away second half. As for Aberdeen, they are shite and hopefully be on the wrong end of a 3-0 against the Gorgie at some point this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they appointed Glass I thought it was destined to be a cathro-esque disaster. The bit that sticks out is the talk of transition. You can use that to justify the odd loss, but when standards slip, it's difficult to get them back. I remember Malaury Martin, soon after signing IIRC, saying that we were basically just preparing for the following season, which was months away. The kind of comment that should never be made. Aberdeen may well turn it around, they have a good squad, but let's hope not! It’s a debatable point re Cormack. I agree re the patience point as my view was we needed to give Robbie time and that decision is looking better by the week. However him going around spouting on about Hearts directors saying they played us off the park second half at Tynie (they didn’t play us off the park but they played ok) and the Motherwell guy saying it’s the best Aberdeen team he’s seen in years belies a kind of underhand guy that you can’t trust and manipulates info for his own benefit. Greeting about pundits not caring about Aberdeen is a bit daft also. He also said Glass managed in a better or more competitive league than the SPL - but was he not the B team Coach across there? Finally did you notice he was very adamant he had no interest in manager candidates that wanted an input in recruitment? I know the model we work sounds similar but Robbie has an input into players. Cormack made it sound like he wasn’t interested in potential managers that wanted an input.

Cormack made it sound like he wasn’t interested in potential managers that wanted an input. All good points. I just meant he seemed like an alright person and clearly wants aberdeen to do well. But yes, he comes across as naive, and would probably be better keeping out of the media. The comments on recruitment and Glass's experience were odd. Whatever way you look at it Cormack has replaced an experienced manager with a rookie, a gamble that, so far, has failed. They seem to have spent a fair bit. I wonder who decided to sign Brown, if not Glass. Also strange that Cormack said Glass hasn't mentioned the injured players as an excuse for the poor form. Every time I've heard him he has talked about players being out. Edited October 19, 2021 by Dia Liom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo92 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 To be fair as Cormack said, if they win on Sat against Hibs they are only 4pts behind them, giving how much smoke that's been blown up Hibs over the past 12 months it seems a bit silly the reaction to Aberdeen's start. Lose the next two games though and he's got a massive decision to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl1965 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Interesting he makes the comparison with Robbie and ignores the alternative comparison with levien which is more akin to his situation. Robbie did ok with a couple of horrendous bloopers. Levine presided over steady decline that wouldn’t change course. I’d suggest given their 10 game run he is making comparison with the wrong man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a lot of folk successful in one sphere, they expect that will translate to every single thing they do - and when it doesn’t, they have an epic meltdown.
