Fridge Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 It’s the rhetoric that is pish. Everybody knows it is highly unlikely to win the league but look R Leicester. It’s always third that is the target. Third should be the minimum target, we should be trying to win the fucking thing every year, otherwise what is point. Link to comment

OK, the majority of seasons 3rd is the best you can achieve, but the ambition should at least appear to be higher. That comment clearly shows an inferiority complex & an acceptance that 3rd is an achievement. GTF Derek. Aye exactly. I don't think Im wrong in saying no dons fan expects us to finish higher than 3rd simply due to budgets. Howevever there is no reason you can't go out and try to achieve that. Such an inferioirty complex and it shows in any game we play against a side with a bigger budget. Martindale has as good a record in the last week as the bearded fraud has had in a few years. In the last 15 games against Celtic, for example, Livi had 8 points whereas we only have 5, mental stat that Link to comment

Janaury 2020: Kennedy, Hernandez & McGeouch Summer 2020: Hayes, Hoban, Leigh, McCrorie and Edmondson, woods & Watkins on loan. Looking at that, you'd be mad to let him sign anyone else. Apart from the hit or miss rate of the signings, the thing that strikes me is the laziness of the recruitment. Of the 19 players listed most Dons fans would have known of 11 of them before they turned up at pittodrie. Ojo, Hoban, Leigh and Vyner more or less unknown. Hernandez, Gallagher, Edmundson and Woods unknown also but I don't believe these were necessarily 'targeted' signings. You could then say 11 of the 15 'targeted' signings would probably have been known to Dons fans before signing - doesn't exactly scream that a lot of work has gone into recruitment. And thats before you get into individual keechness debate. Edit: add Hedges to unknowns - 10 of the 15 would have been known to Dons fans before signing. Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 No mention of Hernandez these days is the pressers? Have we just written off 850k? What kind of dodgy deal was it? The media should be all over the cunt re it but na and we all know why. Link to comment

Look at almost all main-stream media and you see people clamouring to his defence (see John Hughes's interview a few days ago). Even if we didn't spend that money (came from a directors loan) it's still not a great look our most expensive signing in some years was barely playing and is now off in Venezuela Link to comment

Mind an interview Docherty did a year or so ago where he couldn't believe anyone dared to criticise McInnes, sheer delusion and they are so up their own arse it's unreal. They are quick to claim all the plaudits but can't even contemplate taking any critcism. No doubt McInnes will have been asking whoever in the media to blow more smoke up his arse Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 55 minutes ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Not been on here this afternoon so it may have been covered. McInnes made a telling comment today which says a lot about his mentality & his attitude. ”If we win just one of our two games in hand, we get to 3rd & can finish WHERE WE WANT TO BE”. Therein lies a big issue. Yes, that’s where we’re budgeted to be, but “where we want to be”?... He didn’t say “we want to finish third”. Would you like him to say “win our games in hand then we can look at winning the league”? 34 minutes ago, WesthillWanderersFC said: Needs to be someone without the Scottish football baggage & the almost indoctrinated media assertion that you can’t split the gruesome twosome.

Guest Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 5 hours ago, GDON21 said: How is it reasonable? As reasonable as saying but we've only dropped 1 point to Livingston in 2 and half years so they are in no way the benchmark against us. As NEM has mentioned above, if you want to use our overall record against the arse cheeks then that is a fair point, as it hasn't been good enough especially against Celtic but not comparing us to Livingston getting a couple of draws. Livingston, since their return to the league, in 2018 have a better record against the Old Firm than us. My point was about our record v the Old Firm in comparison with someone like Livingston, who we regularly beat, is laughable. How could you not see that? Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Think McInnes would have a chance of a championship job if he was free to go. But they wouldn’t pay any compensation for him. it’s clear that he needs to walk away from his dons contract to get his dream job. Go for it derek, we will allow you to chase the dream.

Especially given one of our games in hand is against the tims. Still to play them three times. Certainly capable of challenging them this season if we strengthen and start performing against the lower teams in the league. League win is a write off this season. Safe to say that. 2nd completely up for grabs. Link to comment
