Superstar Tradesman Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hewitt was just a lad (a tiny wee lad) and his thighs still look about the same size as Maguire/Zander/Aloko/Miller's waist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had some team back then. Remarkable, really. But to be honest, we should just be glad that we actually have had a team like that... Something which many teams these days can never lay claim to.

CtS Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Jesus, you wouldn't fuck with those boys eh? Rougvie and Leighton are toothless, their performances however, were not. We had it all back then, hard men, hard runners, bags of skill, lethal finishers, and an unbelievable will to win. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Jesus, you wouldn't fuck with those boys eh? We don't have that at all. Our biggest problem in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtS Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 How did teams get through a whole season using so few players back then? I know Kennedy got injured that season, but most those boys were almost ever-present. Are players just a bunch of fanny's these days?

I know Kennedy got injured that season, but most those boys were almost ever-present. Are players just a bunch of fanny's these days? I think there's a bit of that but there is also more physio/medical attention which seems to have contributed to longer careers. These dudes played thru pain a lot of the time but todays advice is absolutely not to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtS Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Well these pictures have warmed me up nicely for tomorrow, I've got that pre-match tingling feeling now. Bring it on. The outrageous optimism starts here. I fancy a battling nil nil draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True though it is and probably was even before our recent doings, it's pish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'd take that anyday against Bayern. At least it means the boys have something to play for in Munich. Though the likelihood of that happening are slim to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajja Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 It's pish isn't it, outrageous optimism extends as far as a scud all draw. True though it is and probably was even before our recent doings, it's pish. When we played Bayern in '83 I would suspect that most Dons fans were saying exactly the same thing, not much has really changed. I also don't think that there was a huge gulf in skill level between that side and our current one. There was however a chasm in terms of grit, determination, belief and a will to win at all costs. That is the glaring miss from the glory days of 1983. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madbadteacher Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Having just seen John Hewit's winner from 83 a shiver just went up my spine. I believe we're gonna win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the glaring miss from the glory days of 1983. Can't agree at all with that Ajja. Our centre half and captain probably had more skill in him than our "creative" players now. And that's not to mention the difference in skill between Weir, Strachan, McGhee, Black and Hewitt and our wide players and forwards now. I think it's fair to say that perhaps at that time our team was not necessarily renowned for it's skill outwith Strachan, Weir and Bell, and that it was perhaps more recognised for it's grit, determination etc as you say, but to be honest, their skill levels were still vastly superior to the guys nowadays.

Millers Tache Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Thought this thread was going to be highlighting the quite brilliant program clash in the BBC1 regional programming. On BBC1 Scotland just now, we have Panathinaikos against the odious Huns. On BBC1 England, they're getting a program called Attila The Hun.
