Serrano interview on the bbc saying he would come back to Scotland after Livi loan ends... would solve our left back issues.

He seems a bit of a hard bastard. Wouldn't be averse to it, although I have a feeling he might end up being a walking red card if he ended up at us

As long as it was against the Huns and the challenge was on Wright, i would approve.

Scored a belter against Celtic at Parkhead.

He's a good player who would be an upgrade on what we have.

I'm just thinking about how long I've been going to the football. Since about 95.

I've seen them win the Scottish Cup 3 times.  Its mingin. Thats more times than I've even seen us get to the final

Since 1995 there's no doubt Hearts have been more successful than we have. As you say they've won the Scottish Cup 3 times whereas in the same period we've only won 2 League Cups. 

What you have to remember is those 3 Scottish Cups are the only major trophies Hearts have won since 1962 (I think Hibs have only won 4 trophies since 1962). That to me is more a sad reflection of the state of Scottish football when you consider Hearts, Aberdeen and Hibs are the 3 biggest clubs in the country outside of the Glasgow bigot brothers.

Hearts buying those 3 cups almost cost them their very existence. Would that be a price worth paying. Look at where they are now, back to the yoyo club they used to be.

The fact Queens Park still have more Scottish Cups than Aberdeen and Hearts is as depressing as it gets given they haven’t won it since 1893

Is it a price worth paying? For me yes. We have done nothing 

the cunts nearly won it another time just a few months ago

Fair point, and to be honest at this point I'd probably take a relegation battle over the boring shite we've had to endure these past few years. 

 

[don corleone]

I actually think that I'd take mcghees last season over this season, (hear me out) at least I felt something then, hate anger, frustration. I basically feel nothing at the moment. I remember when a defeat or a shitty nil nil against the bottom side would have ruined my whole week let alone my weekend. Just can't bring myself to give even the slightest fuck anymore. Sevco winning their first title would have killed me a few years ago, now I don't think I could care less. Change is needed.

Have you ever witnessed what it’s like being in a relegation battle!!. It’s not exciting football, great bounce etc.

Quite the contrary the reason you are in a relegation battle is because  the football you have been playing is shit, the players are also shit. The good time supporters stay away. The crowds are down and keyboard warriors have a feel day slagging off the Players, Manager and the Chairman. It’s not something you should wish for.

I will say though if things don’t change, who knows what next Season will bring!!

Fair point.  That's the only time I've really witnessed a relegation battle though and it was full of exciting football and great bounces ?

[DD1903]

That was a horrible season to follow Aberdeen

I have, and as has been mentioned those last 7 matches are some of my best games and fondest memories of following the Dons. That team was also pretty good I thought. I particularly remember the game at Tynecastle, mainly due to the fact that I had to sit in the main stand and got battered because I couldn't contain myself when Dodds scored the penalty. 

[Tord31]

The victory over Dundee United was one of the best days at Pittodrie.

Great day down at Falkirk when we won 2-0 to secure the play- off spot. Great bounce when Glass' goal went in. 

[paddy]

I still find it crazy the 94/95 team struggled. Had some decent players.

Was gonna make a joke about David Winnie having a league winners medal but just looked up the squad and you could make a fair starting 11 out of that. Probably shifting McKimmie to left back cause the rest are pish and having the original rat at right back

Etienne Verveer, didn't he only ever play against Everton then was never seen again. What was the story there?

Duncan shearer, Dodds and Windass. Fucking tremendous.

In my head Verveer came on in a St Mirren league cup match that I attended. Big day out in the Merkland stand

Windass was the following season

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I thought Windass was 96-97 but can see now he signed just after the coca cola cup win.

He should have done far better for us eh

Best atmosphere to have happened for me in any game I've been to. I won't ever forget that.

Me and my Dad got the very last two tickets for the match.

Back row of the Main Stand on the old black seats.

Main stand had heaps of empty seats that day. I reckon loads of folk piled into the RDS to be part of the occasion rather than watch in silence from the old bastard’s stand.

Hope we get a manager that signs players with actual technical ability, and a geographically more ambitious signing policy!

[The Gee Man]

I wonder if with Glass actually being touted as a DOF role if it means we are more likely to get a US style coaching manager who works with what he’s given ie the club set up a signing policy and we follow that strategy. Similar to Celtic Under Delia and Lennon??
