Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[Ke1t]

It's not Ideal, four more years of Mediocrity. 

 

It could be worse, though. And that's the main thing, I suppose.

Congratulations to Killie today. They were better than us this season. A great achievement to finish above us, on a fraction of our budget.

 

We keep hearing that McInnes will eventually leave us and head back to England. However, this season he had money to spend on a transfer fee (a huge luxury for 99% of clubs in Scotland) and a relatively huge wage budget, which was largely squandered in disastrous fashion. He's lucky he's at Aberdeen, because in England this would have cost him his job.

Sorry but Killie have been extremely lucky with injuries and key decisions going for them this season. The last two games have produced the two worst penalty decisions I have ever seen.

Definitely posted from a piss-stained, damp bed sit somewhere.

What a dreadfully poor retaliation

[fine-n-dandy]

It's much better when F'n'D disappears for a while isn't it?

If life was all rosey you would have a penis big enough to stop you getting two fingers wet on a warm day but unfortunately for you it's not.

100%

 

 

Many of us have said similar regarding him for a good while now.

Just takes a couple of fannies to ridicule this sentiment for it to become the norm. Much like the propaganda spread in politics.

 

The tripe folk will lay down & accept as 'it could be worse' acceptable is scary.

 

 

How many abortions of windows is he allowed?

Have you ever seen my knob? No. Shut up.

[super_al]

It was Aberdeen’s sixth highest points total in a campaign and only one less point than we achieved in DM’s first season.

 

Kilmarnock had the season of a life time and were very lucky over the last few games.

 

No need to wet the bed.

Maybe I could if you trimmed a little.

[reekie_dock]

What the Dons need at home games is some odd looking woman near retirement age to hire a brass band and give the atmos a bit of OOMPAH.

Charlie will Defo make the atmosphere better

Regression is the word you're looking for here.

Whilst not dismissing your point entirely (their season reminded me of Motherwell coming 2nd) it’s also hard to call them lucky when you watch Brophys penalty versus ours. Kind of summed up the season for me.

[RUL]

I don't think the issue has been finishing 4th in itself. It has been the amount of brutal games, particularly at home. We actually finished with the best away record in Scotland but the 6th best home record. The vast majority of fans only see home games regularly so it's been pretty frustrating watching us struggle to break these teams down.

[boboisared]

Or it proves we’re a team that plays better when it’s an open game and not against teams playing for a draw.

Agreed. We run out of ideas at home, usually because we're pretty ponderous on the ball and end up going long when we quickly run out of options. Teams are happy to soak in the pressure then hit us on the break.

 

Sorry but Killie have been extremely lucky with injuries and key decisions going for them this season. The last two games have produced the two worst penalty decisions I have ever seen.

The league is contested over a 38 game period. Whether they got a couple of lucky pens lately is neither here nor there.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Agreed also. This thing about running out of ideas though.

 

So we started with GMS looking to provide crosses for......

 

And our other ideas were.......

 

Just strikes me we didn’t start with a particularly full tank of inspiration. Lends more weight to the theory our entire transfer policy originally was Christie with no plan B.

However our away record was the exact same as last season. The loss at home to hamilton and draw with St Mirren were really poor. Also the home 0-0 with Killie when we dominated them was a must win. We rebuild and go again next season but we must have a much better transfer window than the previous few.

West Brom talking to Lincoln’s Danny Cowley about their manager position.

 

Got to be a kick in the teeth for Mcinnes

[aberdeen1970]

Do you think he spoke to Scotland before ruling himself out?

[TheRock]

Must have been feelers, just a informal/off the record 'is this something you would possibly consider' type thing.

To be fair Cowley has not had a single poor season and excelled at all 3 clubs (granted they are smaller) but his stock is rocketing whilst McInnes's is falling.

[Henry]

Aye, you have to think McInnes' chance to try England again may have been and gone. 

[RUL]

Must have been feelers, just a informal/off the record 'is this something you would possibly consider' type thing.

 

Agreed as otherwise why would he have commented at all.

[alscotoz]

Aberdeen have begun their summer recruitment drive by agreeing to sign out-of-contract striker Curtis Main from Motherwell and holding talks with former Dons defender Ash Taylor, who is available on a free.

 

Rumour, but if Taylor story is true, fuck off. Shite player, makes Considine look competent.

[the_shrimp]

Curtis Main is crap and Ash Taylor is...well...we all know his capabilities.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Couldn’t argue he wouldn’t put his head where it got kicked. Didn’t lose many poor goals in the air, something we’ve been culpable of this year. And carried a goal threat at set pieces, something we’ve lacked.

 

Not the worst but still has that frightened bambi bomb scare element in him.

 

And he thought he was better than we were.

 

And India....

[shooftahmooftah]

So what are you expecting the board to do, out of interest?

They should all quit along with Mcinnes

[TheRock]

Ash Taylor I assume is a starting 11 type signing so considering we've got McKenna, Devlin and Considine all players who McInnes is happy to have start at centre half, this kind of suggests he isn't expecting one of them to be there at the start of the season. And the obvious candidate is McKenna.

or maybe he's going to go with his usual Ibrox formation in every game from now on.

[Parklife]

Or that Considine is going to be starting at left-back every week...

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Well that thought just shat all over my Wednesday. Cheers Parkie.
