I didnt take an interest in football till 1993 so can anyone tell me if they reckon Alex ferguson would have come out slating the fans for that reaction had his team scraped a draw against lower league opposition?
Considering the way he reacted after winning the 1983 scottish cup I just cant see it. I know Mcghee will never be fergie but id like to think he would be influenced by his managerial style.
BBC are getting worse
I recall this was when Diamond flattened the goalie after he tipped it over the bar and the ref gave a corner.
Do they even bother to send reporters to the game these days?
Some of the chanting for calderwood came from the guys behind us and the chants werent for calderwood per say. they were more along the 'we spent a lot of money to get this cunt in and hes no better if not worse than the last lot'.
Which at the risk of being declared short sighted I can sympathise with.
I trust old mark has noted the fans response to him pulling kerr
in/oot: In
Pre-match: Driving a bus full of cunts
Match: Away End
Post Match: Driving a bus full of pissed up and pissed off cunts
Prediction: 1-0 Raith (because Ive not seen us win or score a goal this season and it would just sum things up)
Can anyone explain why we didnt get a penalty when mackie reached the ball before gallagher, tapped it goalwards and got fucked over in the process before the st mirren guy cleared it?
The ref just walks towards the decked mackie shrugging his shoulders?
What do you mean 'got rid of'?
Is it still standing or have they actually demolished it? If the former , if there were 5000 aberdeen fans wanting tickets ill bet they would dust it off pretty sharpish.
Airdrie on the other hand only use 1 of their stands for home fans (capacity 3500). As with Raith Im pretty sure they would dust off the 6500 seats (Old firm allocation) if aberdeen wanted them.
Id say some of the best things they could do would be
1) to drop this stupid minimum stadium capacity rule for that has been a major factor in fucking clubs up over the last 10 years.
If Standing isnt an option then just make it yer stadium has to be all seated. If that means you only get 3000 seats then so be it. Just make sure you get yer tickets early. Only 5 SPL clubs get 10,000 or more at their home games. Rest range from 3000 - 7000.
Most of the 1st division clubs are struggling to get 2000 at their games so to insist they have to suddenly provide 6000 seats they will only fill when the green and blue priks come calling is ridiculous. That rule was set up soley to appease the old firm.
2) A choice between grass with underoil heating or decent astroturf pitches. Making hamilton rip up theirs was ludicrous IMO and it lost them quite a large source of income (and yet the SPL claim they have their clubs interests at heart?). If the Russians and scandinavians can play on them then theres no reason why scotland shouldnt.
and the playoff is a must. If you cant have 2 automatic relegation spots then id make the playoff teams be those finishing in 10th & 11th in the SPL and 2nd & 3rd in the 1st. Draw the semis out of a hat too with 2 leg semis with the teams drawn at random and the final played at say Mcdiarmed Park or Airdries stadium (larger venue if required but NEVER hampden)
Last season after 17 games we had 24 points, scored 19 goals, conceided 19goals
This season after 17 games we have 21 points, scored 13goals, conceided 18goals
Correct me if im wrong but that does not appear to include red cards dished out after the final whistle - Rangers, Hearts & Hamilton etc
Plus hearts & Hibs each had a player sent off yesterday
Hibs equalise
Mcormack and Palazeulos been sent off for headbutting each other
Seems hearts cant stand the prospect of us taking their red card league title
Im getting fed up of this
what exactly is Mcghee saying to them in the halftime talks?
Is this some sort of revolutionary new training idea 'if ya can win games with 10 then you will win leagues with 11???'
