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. 

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...

I dont know how you can be so certain about MM's ability.  It is horrendous that people are talking about the past during his tenure.  He is an AFC legend.

 

Err, I didn't say anything certain about MM's ability. Read again, and you'll see I said time will tell if McGhee is the right man or not.

 

Time (maybe another 2 years) will tell if McGhee is indeed the man to do this. There are little signs now and then that he IS the man to bring us to the next level. But I'll hold full judgment on him for another year.

 

I did say there were little glimmers of hope that he could be the right man (see vs Rangers @ Pittodrie, vs Hearts @ Tynecastle). But I am certainly not heralding him as the new messiah yet. But I'm not gonna have him fired just six months into one of the toughest jobs in Scottish Football.

What did everyone have for dinner tonight? I had some baked ham, followed by a nice cup of tea and a cherry bakewell. Right now I'm having supper. It's the first time I've eaten tripe with my eyes. I wouldn't recommend it, at all.

Still, the Cherry bakewell probably took the sting out of it.

 

 

If we split the Old firm next season, and/or win the Scottish cup whilst finishing in the top 4 (at least), I'll consider the management change to have been a success. Meanwhile, I'll look nervously at the league table and the forthcoming fixtures and hope we'll be able to hang onto our spl status this season, and pray for a victory at Starks Park on Saturday.

 

Despite my feelings about Jimmy's departure I still want the team/manager/club to go from strength to strength.

 

 

However, I reserve the right to change my opinion when LondonScottish tells me it's wrong. 

He most certainly did however he backtracked very quickly when people pointed out what an arse he was being by uttering such ridiculous notions.

It is not a productive use of one's time to be debating with ants like minijc et al. The virgin blamed Clangers for the goal on Tuesday. There is the most definitive evidence of his uselessness, behind his dysfunctional libido.

 

To expend energy using the defunct defect as an example in any "debate" however, cheapens the authenticity of the experience. My innards shuddered. Twice.

The hat has now made the AFC Section a "Protected Forum" it seems. Obviously London Scottish wants to keep the propaganda in house...

He's not the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy.

Christ almighty, there has been some right pish posted on here and o'er on the Hat regarding this subject. JC is history lets move on. Dingus is in charge

The gauntlet is throw down to McGhee, time to step up to the mark.

 

C'mon the Reds

A NicNac style breakdown, brilliant. As FatJim says, a good chunk of traffic has got to be in guests.

Nic Nac is one of the more reasoned posters on there these days.  Very level headed.

Yeah, have noticed that. Doesn't seem to go for either of the two extremes of AFCwebchatspeaksites. Come over to the light NicNac! 

Do we need his muslim hating type?

 

Yes, yes we do.

I was thinking the same. What ever happened to Smokiedon?

The Aliens are watching us. If you know what I mean.

 

 

We do have rocket but he is a special kind of bam.

 

OAP bam for short. 

WTF? Bam? OAP? I'll bam you ye cunt.

Fuck sake, just had a great fish supper with a hamburger on the side. Top stuff....

Nobody peddles myths about our current manager. It's another symptom of the sick afflicted desperate to differentiate.

 

Utter fucking nonsense. Myths were and are peddled exaggerating the ability of the guy. To suggest otherwise is pretty embarrasing and quite below your normal standard of bollocks.

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?

 

The manner of yer pish on the hat prior to and subsequent to the departure of the previous manager kind of pishes on any type of excuse you may have on this. But hey, it's a transitional season, it doesn't matter, MM is god etc etc etc to fade . . . .

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.

 

Still, no matter what the result that day, it worked eh? Jesus. You still feel no embarrassment about that day at all do you?

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

 

Yeah, that's what it is. Most dying folk have a desperate need to make something.

So why the pathological need for divisions between supposed Aberdeen fans all the time?

 

And there it is.
