All good points. I would add Ryan Christie to the list. Taking a Celtic player on loan and giving him games and developing him as a player to the extent that he is now a regular with them was to absolutely no-ones benefit except Celtics.

Remember we almost signed him on the back of the loan deal.

Remember we almost signed him on the back of the loan deal.

And we did benefit from having a top player at our disposal for 18 months, albeit not when playing the JJs.

And if they had signed John McGinn, Christie would be an AFC player now, fairly certain.

But I take your point. No Lewis Morgan on loan, or Johnny Hayes. Any subsequent deals with the vicTims have to be permies.

Definitely up there for me. The equivalent of Celtic loaning Sevco a player in January.

Definitely a sliding door moment

Absolutely. Embarrasing diddy club behaviour on our part. "Please sir kind Mister Brendan, can we gave a wee shottie of your player"?

Absolutely
The second most embarrassing moment ever to be a Dons fan.

Yea that was really horrendous, embarrassing times when we were playing the best football in 25 years and made the Scottish Cup final, finishing with the highest ever points total outside the old firm. Terrible decision to take him on loan.

First being?

Stenhousemuir? QoS? Queens Park? Stigma whatsit? Bohemians? Letting McInnes make eyes at Sevco then welcoming him back with open arms?

Aye, the Milne era is the Glory Years right enough.

Sorry, but we should never gave taken Christie on loan from them.
It IS an embarrassment, us developing a player for them, subservient, unambitious p1sh

Wow we made a cup final did we win it no so who cares 2nd place is for losers next you’ll be saying at least we tried our best.

Highest points total again who cares if it doesn’t win anything.
