Lencarl Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Will Aberdeen ever win the Premiership Title again, don't think so, not being defeatist just realistic. The best we can achieve is runners up position, a Cup win now and again and a European run, that is all that lies ahead for us for the foreseeable.The players we have are the best we can get for the money we can afford. I am fustrated as everone else that our players do not seem to have the mindset to win against the Ugly Sisters like a few of the other clubs but hopefully that changes next season.

Slim Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Finishing 2nd by beating Celtic would be a nice way to wrap up the season. Finishing 2nd by relying on Hibs to beat Rangers at home, something we couldn’t do, would still keep us in a state of optimism deprivation. Finishing 3rd will cost us £500k and will impact on our budget for next season. Hopefully we avoid that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs to win 6-0 against Sevco or Sevco to be denied a license to play in Europe if they qualify. Motherwell to win Scottish Cup. l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsdaft Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Christ If I had to choose, then it would be for the Hun to qualify then be denied a licence. Does that make me a bad person??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it does not make you a bad person but what fun that would be if it happened. You can bet your bottom Dollar that the SFA have already granted the license. UEFA have to confirm the appeal from Sevco which will just be a formality I would guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoS321 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 it feels like, as is usual with a McInnes team post split, we're limping across the line and somehow fluked it. 8 out of 12 post-split points isn't a bad return. It was the pre-split points that were the issue. Given the changes last summer, and the very poor replacements, 70 points so far is a pretty decent return. 73 (unlikely, I ken) after the weekend would only make us a win short of last season, so really not too bad. I think our squad is a lot worse than those figures, but thankfully we'll decimate it again this summer, relieving us of a lot of the dross. I think there should be an open bus party at the end of the season celebrating Maynard leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 What McInnes does well is take the points off the diddy teams. We've done that again this year. We didn't score as many though because we're not as good as we were last year. Post split we've done well. Good wins over Killie and Hearts (a team we hadn't scored against), a draw with the inform Hibs, plus a point against the huns who we've been awful against. Many predicted we wouldn't win a post split game, we've done better than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Caat Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Have to admit I was one who suspected we wouldn't win a game post split. Our problem as has been stated is that our pre split points total, coupled with goals scored, has been poor. And it is true that we have been excellent at beating the dross in the league. Our problem was taking points off the arse cheeks. 0 points out of 18 available pre split was just not good enough. Even one win against both would have had us comfortably in second place and within a respectable distance of Celtic. Hell even 1 draw against sevco and we would already be guaranteed 2nd place regardless of this weekends upcoming results. I'm in the "DM has taken us as far as he can" camp. But it looks like the board will let him have a go at doing the massive rebuilding job that we face in the summer. Not convinced he will do any better than season but it is what it is. Biggest problem will be replacing McLean (DD will require a nurse to tepid sponge him). I hope to hell that isnt what Fergushun junior was signed to be...

sheepcrooky Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well, it somehow seemed we limped over the line for 2nd place. Undefeated and 3 wins & 2 draws after the split is probably our best ever effort. Credit, where credit is due. Good win today, not sure if Vic Tim FC were that up for it, but good to beat them after 24 (I think) league defeats in a row at Pork Heid.

As discussed elsewhere on the board, if not this threat, if finishing second by going unbeaten against the best teams in the league and sealing it in style by beating the champions in their own midden on the last day is limping, then who needs to be running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A llad insane Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 you are obviously insane we wond win a fucking game Do you feel rather stupid ? just wondering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A llad insane Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 So i predicted 7 points out of poss.15 & got shot down in flames, well we've ended up with 11, great form after split. Oh ye of little faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA-Don Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Honestly, don't think we could have done much better. 11 from 15 when you consider we hadn't taken a point from either of the old firm, we had struggled against Hearts, and His were on form. Hopefully DM learns from the approach these last 5 games, particularly from the old firm matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshire_don74 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 happy to admit proved wrong .. credit is due .. we go again .. better signings could be in cup finals and pushed celtic who i think tire due to cl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Happy to have been proved wrong on this. Credit where credit is due. Undefeated post split is not something many can boast about. Nice to see us not limp across the line, although, where was that level of effort before? All if's and but's I know. This summer is huge.

baggy89 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Have to say Cosgrove has made a difference in how we can approach these games. He seems to get up well for the long clearances i.e. not giving away free kicks. Is giving us something extra when defending set pieces. And is unselfishlessly linking play when we are on top. Give him a preseason and next season to increase his confidence and he could be a big player for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Still expect us to beat Killie away and get a win and draw from the Edinburgh teams at home. Tribute Act and Tims will probably be kickings. Got first 3 right. Happy to have been wrong on last 2 fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Got first 3 right. Happy to have been wrong on last 2 fixtures. so that's us won at both unwashed and you weren't present do I see a trend developing Jute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Finished with 4th Best Attack (after Sevco, Tic & Brazil 1970) and 2nd Best defence (after the Tic) Scored 18 fewer goals (Dingus being punted by Motherwell didnt help ) and conceded 2 more than last season. For the other clubs the tic ended up scoring 33 goals less than last season. Here's to that trend continuing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosgrove doing very well, strong in the air & will win a lot of knockdowns but imo needs to play alongside another striker, very raw but strong loon.
