Interesting reading the various comments on here and Social Media in general. There has been quite a bit of vitriol surrounding the whole thing, McCrorie could be the Captain this coming Season, not really basing it on anything other than the way Goodwin spoke about him and the fact we'll have a rather different squad next Season, but there's a good chance it could be him. Does that change anyone's opinion, probably not nowadays as it's not seen as important as it was, or should be!
Do you remember when Gary Neville blanked Peter Schmeichel in the Tunnel when the teams were the wrong way round? United vs City, Neville was cold as fuck with him despite their bond and friendship from playing together and winning all sorts as teammates for years prior to this, you can absolutely bet that SAF himself made sure that friendship meant fuck all, he was the enemy now. That mentality has gone from the game now, I am absolutely with Roy Keane when he rants about players cuddling and laughing etc... before the game and after it, I am sure you've seen it, there's plenty of it going around on YT, then you've got absolute nobodies like Micah Richards laughing at him and taking the piss, Micah Richards for fuck sake I suppose I am veering off topic here, but in a round about way, I'm not.
Our potential future Captain, in my opinion, shouldn't be videoed celebrating when Rangers scored and showing disappointment when they lost, or having photo's with Rangers fans etc... I completely appreciate his Brother plays for Rangers, and no doubt his Family would have had it planned to go over and support him as well as have a Holiday, but could he have been a bit more discreet about it, knowing as many of you have mentioned what it's like nowadays regarding Social media and the very, very good chance that he'd be photographed and videoed & knowing that it would have had this sort of reaction from a percentage of the Club that currently employs him, fans.
I didn't like seeing McGinn sit with Celtic fans, more recently our current Manager sitting at a Celtic game, and now McCrorie too, I'm sure there's more, but do I doubt their commitment to Aberdeen, absolutely not, especially not McCrorie, boy gets battered, stuck in, knocked over and back up again at full pelt, he gives everything, I would have zero objection to him being our Captain, I would like though, to see that mentality back, which I alluded to with SAF and the Neville/Schmeichel tunnel incident, I think it's sadly lacking these days and it should come from the Manager and be drilled into the Players. I accept this is a long post which is mainly a pile of pish, but I hope you understand my point and why I absolutely see it from both sides.
