I reckon we'll pump them 18-0

 

That's all I have to say about this.

 

The idea that anyone wants McGhee to fail is simply bollocks and frankly I'm surprised at the way BB has kinda fell into a similar type of polarising argument here, up until now struck me as a fairly rational and rounded poster. But yet again here we are having a really meaningless discussion with folk hell bent upon rubbishing Calderwood. Fair enough. But there were idiots wanting the geezer shifted with both unnecessary haste and took undue pleasure in his removal. Fucking trumpets to a "man" whatever your opinions on Calderwood's record.

 

He has gone. But when any kind of critical measure of what McGhee is doing thus far is posted, some folk are jumping on it.

 

Yes, he is just in. No he is not the messiah. I'm excited about next season but I am also more than mindful about the level of commitment likely to be shown by McGhee and a little peturbed by the planned formation likely to be used, fairly legitimate concerns. Does that mean I even give a cold shite about saying "I told you so" to any cunt? If that's what you take from it then fine, you are an idiot if you do. 

lets face it though if mcghee does fail then people will just blame calderwood.

 

wait a minute that has already started.

 

Probably the daftest thing to surface thus far but some certainly seem to be heading that way, yes.

That's Jimmys fault as well.

 

It wiz that big boy whit ran away thit dun it mister.

The people who were against the change are not knee jerk reactionaries they are rational thinkers who saw that it might not have been the best thing long term. They weren't arguing for JC they were arguing against a bunch of idiots who weren't really looking at the big picture because they just hated Jimmy.

 

I want the best for Aberdeen and i won't be saying I told you so. It's more likely I will be arguing against fickle fans who are more than likely to turn against Mcghee if it doesn't work out for him. These will be the same idiots with their photoshopped post it notes that wanted rid of Jimmy.

 

I am pretty sure that those who were rational about the whole thing will remain rational throughout Mcghee's tenure.

 

 

 

Correct. FJ in decent post shocker.

Regardless of who is manager we still have essentially the same team as last year, minus Seve.

So unsurprisingly we still have the same problems.

I wasn't there on Saturday but from what I have read it sounds like we looked good passing it about early on but then suffered from a lack of goal scoring opportunities or the ability to take a shot when offered one.  This has been a problem for some time and will take more than a week or two in Austria to sort out. 

 

We also seem to have a lack of belief, so that when the passing game doesn't result in goals we revert to lumping the ball forward aimlessly thus putting extra pressure on our thread bare defence.

 

Thirdly, as TF repeatedly points out, we have a squad full of fucking stupidly thick individuals, so unsurprisingly it will take them a while to adjust to any new ideas or tactics.

 

We have had terrible pre-seasons for as long as I can remember.  I have never seen a pre-season friendly that has done anything other than bore and depress me.

Some times the terrible pre-season is followed by a good season, sometimes not.

 

Equally our signing policy doesn't seem to have changed in years, namely announce our targets, fail miserably to get anywhere near them, then scramble around for a cut price French third division player.

 

I suspect the UEFA Cup will be too soon for us, and would have been regardless.

However we need to be up to speed for the opening day as the tims seem to be getting in to the scoring habit and our defence was exposed too often last season to not feel a little nervous at the prospect of facing them.  After that, however, we have the chance for a decent wee run, but yet again, how many times have we said that before.

 

I'm looking forward to this season, however I do so with a degree of trepidation, partly caused by the feeling that whatever happens too many idiots will be continuing to argue the ludicrous JMG/JIG debate with reference to our performance this year.

This was the main problem GS, we passed, and then we passed some more and then after that we passed some more. No cutting edge, just lots and lots and lots of passing that goes nowhere. 10 passes to do something that could have been achieved in three or four, and thats why we had very few chances, there was no desire to actually attack.

 

If Mcghee thinks that an entertaining brand of football he's off his nut.

Let's not forget.. Dundee had home advantage!!!!111!1!!!1!
