[Deevers]

Was up in Aberdeenshire last week and spoke to a couple of them in the pub and it’s pretty obvious that they are living in some sort of parallel universe. Their sense of entitlement is hilarious.  They even still cling onto the myth that they are the third best supported club in Scotland  and that they are the natural third force in the game here. They’ve even started to gripe about their managerial appointment. “We can do better than that”  being the “in” phrase with them just now. Expect complete apoplexy when they drop into the playoff place.  Fingers crossed.

[Costanza]

Can't remember the exact date but Willie Miller on Sportsound was willing to bet with Steven Thompson that even when 10 points behind in the league, Aberdeen could still catch Hearts.

It's now 21 points and 6 places in the league.

They had a purple patch that was all down to us, Rangers and Hibs being out of the top flight. Normal service resumed now though.

Put that new stadium on hold as well lads, you're only going to need a couple of stands open at Pittodrie next season 😂

Would just like to thank Aberdeen for their decade of consistent European qualification, achieving some decent results, building the coefficient whilst never making the group stage....to allow Hearts to have a very strong chance of guaranteed group stage participation, in the first year that the coefficient is sufficiently high to bring that, whilst the Dons miss out 😘

As he should. Coming on a rival (that’s not the case any more granted) forum and all high and mighty. He was condescending and very weird. Now his club is facing a fight to stay out the playoffs , has a mental owner, plays in an absolute shitehole and unlikely to ever move from it, and has a support that’s disappearing (like Hibs) fast - he’s never on the board. 
I actually think Ive seen the Light is Dave Cormack

1. Got Scott Brown to play for them & they were delighted (though marvelously it all ended up in disaster, the odious wretch couldn't handle being pish & fecked off).

 

2. Jim Goodwin, a St Mingin loving prick, who was a thug on the pitch, as manager.

 

3. Willie Miller.

 

Just 3 reasons, as if there wasn't enough already,to detest these kants & for us to revel in their total demise both on & off the pitch. Enjoy the relegation battle you utter fecking melts.

 

GORGIE RULES.

GIRFUY mutton molesters. 

[jamboinglasgow]

Aberdeen are an example of how to squander things all going your way into something bigger long term. With Hearts, Rangers and Hibs all collapsing from 2012 onwards, they had the perfect oppourtunity to cement themselves as the 2nd team in Scottish football (or at least be far ahead the 3rd best team when Rangers came back and far ahead of their rivals.) And they did get quite a few 2nd and 3rd place finishes. But they didn't grow to another level. McInnes managed to keep them doing just enough but their recruitment (particularly in the second half of his reign) was mixed, they never got past the qualification rounds and the speed which they have gone backwards since his left showed how hollow Aberdeen's position has been.

 

This is why, if we do get the play-off round for Europa League, that we must build from it and push to a higher level. In performances, attitude at the club and recruitment.

[kirkierobroy]

I am not a bettiing man but I wonder what odds, say, Mr Hill or Mr Coral would give me on the next Aberdeen team to qualify for Europe being Cove?

[tian447]

Aberdeen are one of those clubs that have no real rivalry because they haven't had a local derby to look forward to. 

 

It's looking a possibility that might change next season.

 

I wish their smug, arrogant, has-been fans nothing but pain supporting them over the next few decades. 

[1971fozzy]

They had a perfect opportunity but blew it the last 6 years or so. Glorious. Now with Joe Savage and Robbie we recruit solidly now. If we get the £3-4 million from Europe we will recruit some amazing players no doubt and go even further ahead . Add in £100k+ a month with FOH contributions and it’s very exciting.

what’s your opinion @IveSeenTheLight ??? Xx

They are this season, but for most of the last decade they've been well above us, embarrassingly so Tbh. 

 

Thankfully we are on the road to reverse that, but it will take more than 1 good season, we need 3/4/5 good seasons in a row, something that we've not managed since the late 80's early 90's ourselves.

Oh dear, what a shame. Thought he was going to be the next "golden boot" or something the way they bummed him up.

 

Must realise where they are and how much money they cant afford to splosh out on "superstars" due to them not qualifying for Europe and are potentially in a relegation dogfight.

He hasn't but I dont think he has the ability to take Aberdeen back to challenging for third. Stendel came in and cleared some deadwood out. Doesn't take a great manager to notice a rubbish player. 

[boag1874]

How funny would it be if they went down? Won a watch with us, Hibs & Rangers all having problems at the same time, initially struggled to get clear of ICT, Motherwell & Dundee Utd but just did enough in the end to be best of the rest. Never genuinely threatened a fairly unremarkable Celtic team (& obviously didn't lay a glove on them once they brought in Rodgers), didn't get group stage European football even once before dropping out of the top 3 all together. What do they have to show for it now? One league cup & a pipe dream of a new stadium. Absolute bottlers.

I've never got the fuss about Goodwin. He didn't do an especially great job at St Mirren - 9th, 7th and currently 10th. I don't remember their football being particularly good.

 

The players he got some credit for bringing in or selling (mostly to Hibs) have pretty much all bombed at their next clubs, including McGrath it seems.

 

By sacking McInnes and Ross, Aberdeen and Hibs have shown that if you have a solid manager in charge - ie finishing in decent positions in the league and/or getting to cups semis or finals -  you give them a chance to turn things around when they have a lean period before getting a new guy in.

Kind of seeing a pattern in talented coaches but ultimately unimposing and inexperienced managers being a serious error of judgement in this league - Cathro, Glass and Maloney. All their clubs regressed big time under them. 

 

Its maybe something to keep in mind if/when Robbie moves on. Think generally speaking we should be recruiting up, not giving some highlighly regarded coach the opportunity to cut their teeth here. The demands at Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs are all too high. All 3 fan bases expect 3rd, and you cannot pin those hopes on a rookie. Ross & McInnes both with bags of experience both managed pretty well at Hibs and Aberdeen. Robbie likewise here. 

 

I think at a diddy club that might work, where there is no expectation so the coach can afford to learn, but here its different. 

 

I think Goodwin will do better than Glass, but when the bar is the floor, anything can be an improvement. Its hard to see Maloney succeeding there tbh.

The only time I might support a highly rated coach hire now after seeing how it's gone with us and other clubs is if it's from within the club form the U18s or U20s, like Robbie first time around, or a player like Doddie and Jardine. So maybe Steven Naismith if he's still with us could be a contender.

 

If Jack Ross had stayed he would maybe have taken over from Robbie and that could have worked better than Cathro seeing what he did elsewhere pre Hibs. It's still risky. For every Robbie there seems to be a Jon Daly, John Rankin or Andy Kirk, who might yet be good managers but are taking assistant manager or manager jobs at smaller clubs first.

As likeable as Goodwin is (as a manager) he’s distinctly average. That coupled with a crumbling stadium and support and I can see the sheep hovering bottom 6 for years (that’s if they don’t go down this season).  Doesn’t help them that the owner is mad as a box of frogs. Glorious stuff

I've no doubt that had Ross still been at Hearts and stepped into Robbie's shoes, we would not have ended up in the shitfest that followed Cathro's appointment.  We were in 2nd place, albeit Rangers and Aberdeen had games in hand, but absolute worse case scenario if Robbie had stayed was 4th place, which was in line with our budget.

 

There was absolutely no need to bring in a manager who was going to rip everything up and start again (a nod to Edwyn Collins there!).  You do that when you sack a manager because the team is underperforming and you need to change things.

 

When you lose a successful manager because he leaves for another job while the team is doing well, you surely look for someone who can maintain some sort of continuity, rather than someone who wants to go in a different direction.

Diddy Dave has been a bit quiet recently, so has Ron the Con.  Funny how the fans lapped these snake oil salesmen up when they first appeared, but the less gullible amongst them are beginning to see through the smoke and mirrors.

Indeed.  Were it to go horribly wrong and St Johnstone put a run together, Aberdeen could find themselves in the championship playing derbies against Cove Rangers who are 5 pts clear at the top of league 1 and likely to go up, while McInnes could be back in the SPL with Kilmarnock who are 4 pts clear at the top of the championship.

 

All we need to do is knock Hibs out of the cup and sit back with the popcorn.

It was a major mistake by Levein and a great example of his pig headed side. Cathro was his protege. He offered him the U20s job before Ross so he could then promote Cathro. Cathro turning down that job maybe should have been a red flag for Levein. Both Cathro and Levein should have known he wasn't ready to take total control with an inexperienced assistant.

I remember that interview, the results say they are shite, but Dave's data says they are well on track, so results will eventually catch up with the data.  The only data that matters is W, D or L, and the Dandy Dons have 1 W in their last 13 games.

Exactly, I wonder how much possession we let Cowdenbeath have after our tenth goal. They certainly had 90% possession immediately after each kick-off...

 

Dominant.

I must admit I'm a wee bit torn about the bottom six this year, can't decide who I want in the playoffs; St Mitten would be good for handing out medicine, Hibs would be good because it's Hibs (and also medicine), but I think Aberdeen would certainly be the banter choice.

 

Also wouldn't be gutted to see the back of St J for a season or two, would improve our away form a bit.

 

It's a tricky one!
