Fair play to Hendry , no idea why we couldnt have started 2 up front

that extra sniff of glue did it

mescal or glue today ?

mcrorie outmuscled like many of our player conditioning suspect

seems we have turned hoban into horseshit

another reason sheerin should be shown the door

part time team played 6 games in 13 days .. if you think this is acceptable you need your head read

must be watching a different game they could be 2 up

Disgraceful performance , shower of cowards

what leadership qualities did Mcnamara and Newell have ? actually any of them ? big assumption to make , might have been toxic in the dressing room

Aitken ? Meh from me, and didnt rate Newell either

in guys like Brewster, McNamara, Aitken, Newell, Robson My recollection most of these were shite or had little tangible impact

Ferguson downed tools months ago

our right full back was away playing golf

Sheerin same as Mcinnes doesnt make subs...

garbage , chucked it again

sub maclennan off

bonkers kick off routine, maclennan just isnt good enough

looking at social media... seems to be a drip drip of lets look at managers in USA... wonder if dark arts are at play here from club priming for an appointment or simply kite flying

yes his lens maybe a bit skewed, but an antidote to Monday night DM love in

weird as you said he was acceptable

why what does Glass bring to the table ? what ability does he have ? is he winner, does we have world class man management skills ?

Not one to use the DR , but i feel this is very much spot on , and at least a different perpsective to the pish that was on sportsound on Monday John McMaster believes Aberdeen's sacking of Derek McInnes was a long time coming and boiled down to winning and losing with nothing in-between. The Gothenburg Great and former mentor of the axed Dons protege insists a legacy of only one trophy after eight years in the post didn't cut it and the minute Dave Cormack replaced Stewart Milne as chairman, the dye for his dismissal was cast. A record of reaching four cup finals and qualifying for European football seven years in a row will be held up as the McInnes legacy but McMaster believes it's that second best mentality of accepting mediocrity which now exists at the club. As the search starts for a successor, the 66-year-old is convinced St Mirren's Jim Goodwin is the perfect fit to replace a manager who's been stripped of his mojo during this campaign. He said: "I've known Derek since he was a teenager at Morton, he's never been the same since Cormack came in. He appears quieter and looks to have lost some power. He was given the keys to the castle by Milne but Cormack's taken them off him. Cup Winners' Cup legend John McMaster admits time was up for McInnes "Derek's always been driven in life, he's wanted to achieve things, but he was driven for himself, that selfish streak has never left him. “It’s all crept up on him this season and I always felt when the new chairman came in, it was only a matter of time. By all accounts his wages were significant but it was the interest from Sunderland and Rangers which lifted him into that bracket. “Milne loved Derek because he delivered a league cup trophy which was won against Inverness on penalty kicks and couldn’t see past him. “What can’t be ignored is the failures in the big games time and again. When I first arrived at Aberdeen in 1972 I saw a team of losers and runners-ups. A side which loved reaching semi-finals and finals but couldn’t win anything. I remember reaching my first Scottish Cup Final and a mate saying I was now a legend, I told him I hadn’t won anything yet. I’d lost in the League Cup and Scottish Cup Final but somehow I was a legend? “That was the mentality back then and it’s crept back in to the club under Derek. He had to win trophies and he knew that. The fans will accept a few false starts, missing a few finals and semis, but when it happens five or six times in semi-finals and finals then something has to change as it’s not good enough. “It took me four attempts at finals before I won anything. It’s about winning, I remember getting off the team bus after we won the league at Hibs and I thanked Alex Ferguson on my way off. I told him it was the first time I’d won anything and he shouted, ‘F*** O** McMaster, get off the bus.” (Image: SNS Group) “To him you were either a winner or a loser and nobody remembers losers. “What’s happened at Celtic this season has been a Tsunami and Rangers being resurgent has also helped sweep Aberdeen even further away from success. “I like Cormack, he’s up front with the fans but from day one I felt Derek’s days were numbered when Milne left and so it's proved." McMaster also believes failures in the transfer market as well as bringing old faces back to Aberdeen were mistakes made by McInnes and a major factor in the disappointments of this season for a team who've scored only five times during this calendar year. He said: "Derek's had his throat cut every summer with the players he's lost. The one's he's brought in haven't improved the team, the only recruitment success story has been Rangers and that’s why they’re champions. "He should never have gone back to Northampton Town and resigned Ash Taylor. Jonny Hayes is an honest boy but you don't go and bring players who've left back to the club and Niall McGinn is another example. His ambition was shown when he left for China, all three came back into a comfort zone. "It's all too mediocre, four cup finals and qualifying for Europe every season isn't good enough for me, I'd want to see some trophies. "We are back to an Aberdeen being happy to reach semi-finals and finals. "That's been a huge problem for Derek, getting to the stages are great but he needed to win them.

"I hear some fans say they're fed up hearing about the Gothenburg Greats, that says everything about the lack of success of a generation and Derek has failed to change that and time has caught up with him." The former Dons midfield schemer now believes Cormack should get straight on the phone to St Mirren and attempt to lure Goodwin to Pittodrie for what could become right man, right time and a new golden era for the club with the Irishman at the helm He said: “Cormack has the fans on his side, he knows how to work them. He’s attempting to lay his own foundations at the club and that inevitably always starts with the appointment of a new manager and he needs to get it right. “There’s a guy working at St Mirren who he should ask if he wants to move to Aberdeen. “I believe he’s a magnificent manager in the making. I’ve watched him since his Alloa days, I watch his manner and approach to the game. I see how he acts in the dugout and he’s constantly talking to his players on and off the park. His presentation off the park is fantastic and he's not a Billy Big Time, he just wants to improve himself and his club. I can imagine him at Aberdeen and working with greater resources, it would be an inspired appointment. “He has St Mirren playing attractive football on a meagre budget, just what could he achieve at Aberdeen?"

no just shite

did you listen to him ? spent over a minute talking about missing hornby and moaning about lack of striking options
