  1. I think it's fair to say most people have mixed emotions on it. The last two weeks have seen some shite football from Aberdeen, and I still have my doubts about his approach to big games (huns, tims, europe etc), but the lack of alternatives makes me think he's the best at the moment. But I think the most telling part is that he decided he didn't want to go to Rangers - now that might be because they're a shambles of a club (like Sunderland) but it says a lot when the huns can't take our manager. The media coverage has been incredibly biased, I've not read one report on why he should stay - so they can all ram it from that side. The lack of viable realistic replacements was terrifying though - we really need to think long term about who takes over from McInnes even if he is here for 5 more years. He was on a hiding to nothing at the huns, unless they catch/beat celtic he'd get 18 months at best. I think that's the real reason he dinghied that job - he can hold out until someone goes there with a huge cheque book and gives them the spending money celtic have.
  2. Andy Dow scoring the winner versus the huns 1-0 in the quarter final of the league cup in 1999. A mental game, a mental season and the first I went to on my own without my dad, I was hoarse for two days after. As above, anything with Eoin Jess also comes to mind.
  3. I hated Gary Smith during the end of the Alex Miller spell, when he wondered about looking like he wanted to die, but then I hated most of that team at various points. I didn't mind him the first time around but when he came back it seemed different. Never liked Darren Mackie, an absolute shite player who was nothing without his pace, and stayed far too long. I had hopes to begin with. As soon as Jim Hamilton stepped on the pitch in 1999 (even though he scored plenty at Hearts) I knew he was shite and we were going to get humped. Guys who went to the huns/tims I don't really mind, their choice who they want to play for and we clearly didn't offer the incentive to stay.
  4. Does anyone know where the game will be shown on TV? RedTV and Google are not helping much.
  5. From what I've seen above and the limited coverage down south, I'd say a decent ball playing midfielder would help. If the midfield could hold on to the ball, the weakness at centre-back would be dealt with. Jack's problem is everything is backward and sideways, which always ends up inviting pressure and doesn't stretch the opposition up and down the pitch. I think the good sign is that we are only maybe 1 or 2 players away from being a much better team - McInnes is sometimes too keen to sign "flexible" players - their form them dips when they have to move all over (Shinnie). I don't think it would be awful if McGinn left, he's been a good servant at times but is too prone to going walkies. A Heikkenin player would be ideal, but I've never seen a manager who had a 100% signing record...
  6. Dodds was absolute gash - I was thrilled when we sold him. He was slow, and didn't do much. And on that same note I quite liked Robbie Winters, he was mobile, offered more than hanging round the box and was unfortunate to play in an absolute pish team - I remember him scoring two against hearts when he hadn't scored for ages. Chris Clark and Darren Mackie were both rubbish. Clark was an average player. Mackie was awful, getting a testimonial made me want to vomit a bit. Joe Miller was terrible from what I remember - beat two guys and put the cross in to the stand every time. I don't really get the hate for McGhee, he was a shit manager for us, but so were plenty of others. Agree with the Skovdahl comments above - if he hadn't had a batch of decent youth players come through we would definitely gone down at some point.
