New manager

[rico94]

Excellent read. The thing is, we are the only set of fans in Scotland who are not allowed to have any aspirations ("living in the 80s if they're expecting decent entertainment")

Lewis Ferguson: "a team like Aberdeen should never be losing at home to anybody in this league." McWitless will surely dock him a month's wages for daring to suggest we shouldn't know our place when it comes to the Uglies.

Looks like Lennon will be available shortly.
However his CV will have that adjective front and centre on it.


Just someone that didn't go to the Roxburgh/Brown fitba courses.

What adjective?

Yes! That's the way every player in the team, every member of staff at the club, every supporter at home should be thinking. The problem is far too many of them are like the RedTV commentary team with their usual rubbish "the manager will be quite happy to have made it to have time at 0-0" or "I suppose a draw against St Mirren isn't a bad result is it?" or "there's a lot to like about the dons today" (usually when we're 2 nil down), or "third place is still up for grabs" (as if it's the equivalent of winning the Champions League).

The truth if we hadn't been absolutely stinking for the majority of this season we should be second in the league just now, possibly by quite a few points. Missed opportunities time and time again because there's no belief in the team. Buck stops with the manager on that one - and you could say the captain must take some responsibility for instilling that too once they're out on the park. Our manager and captain are hugely uninspiring.

This to the power of 100

I don't blame the media. Nobody ever reads it anyway (apparently). It's a lot of the fans stop us having aspirations. They are as "pragmatic" as McInnes. Life is way too easy up there for him.

I could be wrong but when I think of that kind of supporter I always think either millennials who don't have any other yardstick to measure the team against or auld geezers who haven't to been to a match in years in any event and have lost interest in life, never mind fitba.

Or Sky EPL obsessives.

Is it still not the 80s like?

It wasn’t aimed at you because you are still living in the 1970s

I can't believe I read this. Nobody, but nobody, can stop you having aspirations. You can aspire to whatever you want, nobody can stop you.

What was that phrase - Don't let the b'stards grind you down. Keep positive, keep aiming for what you want and perhaps it'll work out.

I was going to say that myself.

If I was going to pick 5 years then June 1978-June1983 would do fine.

The 80s were great, it's been all downhill since then, and not just the football.
