Losing patience with McGhee

I'm not sure I can endure another home performance like the last two.

Sadly I fear McGhee isn't up to the job.  Some folk can talk about "transitional" seasons all they like but we are not doing the simple things correct - at the back we are an absolute joke (Ifil is shocking and needs dropped asap), and we have no style of play whatsoever (we are neither passing it on the deck, or hoofing long balls - fuck knows what we are supposed to be doing!). Getting extremely frustrated, and if we continue to play like this we could get dragged into a relegation battle.

 

The last two home games have been like something out of the Paterson era.  :hammer:

There were some serious pissed off folk tonight.

 

McGhee's transfer dealings need to be questioned also.  I'm not commenting on Paterson and MacLean but Ifil and Grassi are both rubbish.  While I am far from being a fan of Maguire, all we seem to have succeeded in the transfer window is reduce our number of options up front - and this was pretty much the number 1 area of concern so far this season.

 

Saturday is massive.  It's one thing getting knocked out of the cups by lower league opposition, when we normally still have a chance of Europe, but the season could be well and truly over on Saturday.

 

McGhee might be working with limited funds and limited quality of players, but he should be doing a lot better with both.

 

Things need to turn around or I will consider not renewing for the first time in 10 years.  Nothing worse than sitting in sub zero conditions watching a team who haven't won at Pittodrie in decades play us off the park, and create far more chances than us.

 

Cue knee jerk reaction accusations...

Protest.

ICT game.

Oh aye, that one. A few weeks before fatty got the dunt.

 

Any evidence of some protestors willing the team to lose that day, or was it another post of unadulterated shite?

Sorry I'm posting from my phone so can't quote, why would you think thats pure unadulterated shite then rocket?...

Well get an iPhone then. Best invention known to man.

 

It's pure unadulterated shite because your point was not twisted as you said it was: -

 

"although that seems to have been interpreted as McGhee shouldnt take some of the flack for tuesdays shambles.  Seems like my point (and others) has been tiwsted as another argument to absolve McGhee from any blame for some of the performances this season."

 

If you can find one post of mine that says he's doing or has ever done a good job at AFC, I will donate £5,000 to stave off the impending and inevitable death of this webchatspeaksite.

 

You wanted them to lose that day. You told everyone. We all heard ye. You've no argument against it..

 

Should be fairly easy to find where I said that then in that case?

 

No argument against it other than the fact that I never said it.

 

Just admit you made it up and we can all move on.

Would you like more?

And where have I (or any of the others present) said I hope we lost against Caley?

There is a pathological need to differentiate. Fabrication is a desperate last weapon of the deceasing.

Bearing in mind guys that the protest is going ahead irrespective of the score against Caley, although clearly a less favourable result will probably bump up numbers.

 

Third link down.

Third link down.

That seems a desperate misinterpretation. What are you investing energy arguing about today? What is the point you are taking? Put it in a nutshell.

I said a less favourable result would bump up numbers, not the same thing as wanting us to lose or even that I valued numbers at the protest over a win that day.

 

If we lost that day, numbers had been up - fairly obvious logic there, rather than wanting my team to lose.

Ha Ha Ha! I think I can actually hear the desperate back pedalling or are you really suggesting the patently obvious inference to this quote was not intentioned?

 

Questions.

 

What was the point in your protest?

 

Do you believe a larger turn out would have reinforced this point?

Only read a couple of pages but this sounds fucking terrible. Only good point is that I'm now not missing watching Aberdeen at all.

A case of you reading what you want to read - if you want to take from that that I paid my money that day hoping for us to lose then feel free.

 

The point of the protest was to make the point that we felt Jimmy's time at Aberdeen was up - the point was made that win, lose, or draw the protest would take place.

 

Larger numbers might have reinforced the point, still doesn't mean I wanted us to lose to re-inforce said point.

Look at you. What is your point, other than to argue online with a Dons fan? Questions, questions, that's all you ever give me. To cut a long story short, you've lost your mind. You belong here.

It's far easier for people like this to stay here where they agree with each other, swear a lot and convince themselves that lies and myths are fact.

 

They don't like it up 'em, to coin a phrase.

You were the one who went to the press and became spokesperson for the JMG (for the benefit of Rocket, a term coined on AFCHAT and used by Brian in his dealings with the press, as a name for the sextuple). Therefore it would have benefited you if there were larger numbers, no? You would have looked less of a fool if it was a success?

I would suggest that whether consciously intentioned or not, the inference is there.

In some respects it was successful as JC isn't here anymore ;)

Your suggestion is misguided. Once again, what are you trying to achieve? On this thread, are you now saying that we should not have got rid of JC? Seems to me that you have a pathological need for confrontation. What is the debate? What is your point?

All without reply :hammer:

Protest done, Jimmy gone - if 200,000 were there and Jimmy was still here then it'd have failed so I'm not massively sure wtf you're on about.

 

I'd rather Caley stayed in the SPL last season than Falkirk, so going by your logic I'd have rather we lost that day and they'd stayed in the SPL.

 

If we're talking "infering" then there's a few folk on here who're far more intent on seeing us lose than that solitary post you're clinging to.

Any proof for this?

 

I notice since I last posted here, i've been banned from another site....  :wave:

I'm nae wasting my time looking for shite posts on AFC chat.

 

Thought not  :wave:

Didnt londonscottish pretty much admit this in the past few days? (although im fully expecting this to have disappeared now!  ;) )

Are you being serious?

Do I really need to provide a summary after every page for you highly intelligent Chat posters?

 

The point is.

 

You stated no-one involved wanted to see us lose.

 

I thought it was after the protest when it was suggested more would have gone if we lost.

 

I knew I couldn't be bothered to even use the search facility.

 

Dave kindly provided links.

 

I clicked on one.

 

Immediately noticed one, that was suggesting the protest would gain more support if we lost.

 

Noticed it was from you.

 

Posted it up on here in response to your claim.

 

You then claimed that I'm reading too much into it.

 

I claim, consciously or sub-consciously, you meant it.

 

I don't think I suggested once that the protest failed, I now how preciously you protesters hold those 4 minutes in the memories of your desperate struggle against the tyranny of Calderwood's reign.

 

I also fail to see how the 3 posters on here can have a knee-jerk reaction when we lose, but in truth actually want us to lose?

 

Quite what that middle paragraph is about...

 

So in truth I am now confused over what the point of you is.

And why I'm bothering wasting my time with some idiot who jumped into bed with the Daily fuckin Record is beyond me.

 

Well usually if somebody constantly mouths off about folk without anything whatsoever to back it up then they get called up on it.

 

Nae my fault if you're not used to that sort of outrageous behaviour on here.
