Scottish Premiership: Celtic v Aberdeen

The once greats


Recommended Posts

In life, football being no exception, there are, and were, things, people, places and organisations that were once great.

 

Will Aberdeen be remembered like that? Both the football club and the city?

 

Or maybe it was never a great city? Only liked by some of us who grew up in it?

 

There are always reasons for the slump or the demise.

 

The late great Gore Vidal considered "I told you so" as the greatest words in English language.

 

He was dealing in far more serious subject matters than a wee northern city with a shite fitba team.

 

But someone somewhere will have seen it coming and will have a robustly functioning instinct.

 

To believe in the concept of seeing the future, you need a healthy and robustly functioning imagination.

 

Even though common sense is not too common, the empirical evidence is and has been bountiful.
