  1. Funnily enough, I also remember (perhaps incorrectly) that Gillhaus sat out almost a year with us after his contract had ended but we wouldn't agree a fee with clubs interested in signing him? Edited to add... https://www.scotsman.com/sport/hans-gillhaus-recalls-aberdeen-highlights-2475605
  2. Confused between actual shots and xG.
  3. https://www.afc.co.uk/2021/12/29/afc-archive-signing-charlie-nicholas/
  4. Based on this post, you should ask the Admins to combine your accounts under the new moniker “Florida Man…” Think the gator has coughed up your cowboy boots, shit you out, and Mickey has already slipped in the excrement. George Best at hibs. Give up min.
  5. The difference between signing Nicholas as a player in ‘88 and signing Solskjaer as manager now, is Ferguson took a pay cut to go to Manchester Utd 2 years before that, and Solskjaer signed a player for 3 times our turnover to sit on the bench at Manchester Utd 2 years before now.
  6. Yeah, a hun who grew up to pay for the tims. With two years of relative and certainly easily financially achievable "success" out of about 16 years in total in management.
  7. Just assumed it would be Lambert.
  8. I thought we should have gone for McInnes while Calderwood was still here. I felt last year we should have gone for Goodwin. Think I had Ross in mind while McInnes was flirting with the Huns. In much the same way we should try to sign young players on an upward trajectory who know the league. As a club we have to be pragmatic. While we can fantasise about finding another Ferguson, it’s even less likely than me winning the Euromillions. We wait too long and anyone with a modicum of talent goes to Championship/League 1. Such is the state of Scottish football. Seems to me the English are willing to take those chances. Cormack has said he wants us to be a top 100 club. There are 2 ways to do that nowadays, oligarch level funding or sustained improvement over a number of years. We won’t get everything right all the time but appointments like this are what we should be making. Fuck all point bringing in someone who has won something and is now on a downward curve living on payoffs for phoning in a managerial career. Equally, no point In bringing in managers like Skovdahl and then not being able to support them with the funding required to recreate that success. Let’s not forget that Goodwin is a foreign manager, one from a country where there is more youth players than anywhere else in Northern Europe per head of capita (IIRC) the same country also has an excellent record of players moving to this country and being a success. As most on here know I go to Cheltenham games down here. Michael Duff is on an upward trajectory and I would say a very highly thought of manager. BUT he knows (as far as I am aware) nothing about Scottish Football. Oh and the suggestions I’ve seen on Twitter for Grant McCann can go in the bin. Was one of my favourite Cheltenham players, but turned out he is the worst kind of northern Irish huns.
  9. Feel sorry for Glass. Agree with the consensus in that I wanted him to succeed but didn’t feel he was experienced enough. I think next it has to be Goodwin and should have been him last year. Young manager on the up. Knows the league and what is required has his team 3 points ahead of us on what must be a fraction of the budget. Downsides are both this and last season St Mirren have had periods of poor form. But, each time he has resolved it. That and him going to Tim matches.
  10. McRorie was the difference in the second half. Gallagher looked better too. So time to get him into midfield and not just shoehorned for a half. A good tactical manager can work it out. We have Glass who should know about defensive shape, we have Brown who is a motivator and able to coach how to play midfield and can get on the pitch and direct, we have whatsisname as a striker coach. And Henry’s cat and whatever it is he does. What does Apaloo doo? Could we not get a tactics person like the Huns did with Beale?
  11. I think December did a lot to distract from the team being pretty fucking pish since Glass took over. If anything our form leading up to December emboldened teams to not sit in against us which allowed out shortcomings to become less obvious.
  12. When I was about 11\12, I knew a girl a year or so older . She kept herself to the outside of a friendship group, but spoke to one of the other girls and told her she liked me, so we ended up chatting for a few weeks/months. Turned out she lived with her granny, as her Dad was in prison. I didn’t ask but eventually she wanted me to know she was moving away, after her Dads trial, but couldn’t say what he’d done. She said “ It's the only thing he could have done that’s worse than murder”.
  13. Just had a look at Juve’s Twitter. The thread announcing Ramseys departure is full of boot licking huns, but my favourite tweet was “Addio Parassita”, seems like they may be well suited.
  14. If they couldn’t see before the reaction in their social media channels will enlighten them.
  15. See the huns are being linked by the boy Romano, with a loan for £400k p/w Ramsey from Juve. Almost hope it's true in a "win or bust attempt at the auto ECL spot", with the obvious caveat that it ends up in failure and BUST!! just like the old club.
  16. Between now and August 31st, or whenever the summer window closes, has to be the strongest position we'll be in with Ferguson. Strongest we've been since Aston Villa offered a similar deal for McKenna with a few hours of the transfer window left. If he can keep the form till end of the season with 2 years left on his deal, we should receive a sizable offer. While I'd like to see us keep him for a long time, if we let it go much beyond next January, I can imagine him pushing for a move from a derisory offer from the huns or he'll wait 6 months and sign a pre-contract with the cunts. Can't really fault his performance last night, someone said on twitter (so likely to be absolute shite) that he didn't celebrate his goal?
  17. See Charles-Cook got 2 tonight for County. Thought he’d looked decent few times I’ve seen him in highlights. One to keep an eye on or just an irregular run of form?
  18. So far against this one team they’ve had a goal scored from a FK that should not have been given, another from a penalty that shouldn’t have been given and another from a counter that should not have happened due to us not being given a penalty that should have been given.
  19. Ha Ha! I actually googled to see if Gattuso was manager, or any other hun links.
  20. Apparently Cagliari have made a “loan with obligation to buy” offer for Ferguson. What’s the point in that? If you want to buy him just give us the money now…
