Kowalski Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Aberdeen FC fans are right to be angry Duff understands their frustration By Ross McTavish with Aberdeen FC in Olomouc Published: 07/08/2009 ABOUT a dozen Aberdeen FC fans demonstrated outside the stadium after the 3-0 Europa League defeat to Sigma. They chanted: “You’re not fit to wear the shirt†as the players made their way on to the team bus. Aberdeen FC manager Mark McGhee was cheered by the fans. Defender Stuart Duff expressed sympathy for the fans after what was another bad result for the club. For more on this story and coverage of Aberdeen FC, pick up a copy of today's Evening Express. McGhee must wield axe and cut out dead wood – see Stewart McKimmie’s views in today’s Evening Express. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboisared Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The players aren't fit to wear the shirt....but the man who thought they were is cheered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 The players aren't fit to wear the shirt....but the man who thought they were is cheered? He can only work with the players he has at the club. (i'm not sayin he should have been cheered or otherwise, but he can't pick players to play for us that he doesn't have.)

dave_min Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Its his job to get players who are fit to wear the shirt too though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_min Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I was hoping for at least a centre half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Its his job to get players who are fit to wear the shirt too though Of course it is. But how many did you think he was going to bring in for god's sake? 11? 12? 13? Let's get real here, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Unfucking believable. We are rapidly turning into a joke club again.. When have we ever not been a joke of a club. At least we have a decent manager now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I was hoping for at least a centre half Weren't we all? Does getting one centre half in make the rest of them good players? (he should still have made signings by now, of course, and he has to take flak for that, but in the main, he has to work with what he has which is not a lot in more ways than one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harcus Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I would imagine the collective IQ of those "demonstrating" would just about scrape into double figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilbobaggins Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Considerably smaller than the collective waist size. Cheering a manager who decided playing 4-3-3 against a team who were clearly fitter, technically more acomplished and frankly superior in every way? Bizarre in the extreme.

Probably worth point out we played 4-4-2 last night, according to Redweb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were 4-4-2 last night (supposedly), same as they played all last season. Although he probably didn't realise he'd have to re-train them about that...

BobbyBiscuit Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Exactly. In fairness, if they were in 4-4-2 they would still have got pumped. You know it and I know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_min Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 In fairness, if they were in 4-4-2 they would still have got pumped. You know it and I know it. No doubt. But had McGhee bothered to arrange and pre-season friendlies he'd maybe have realised that the team wasn't able to pull off the 4-3-3 formation before trying it out in our first competitive game of the season :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_min Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Agree with that too. No accounting for your centre half acting like a fucking dingle though is there? No denying that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
