Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[boboisared]

 

I also thought so.

 

 

Definitely. He's almost single-handedly dragged us through this season.

The telltale for me was the fact Logan spins as Brophy makes contact. There's no way he can make that movement in midair.

[CammyB]

Aye we must do.

 

He must be in the Scotland squad again (under a different manager from the first time) and got signed by Norwich for a fee because he's been average for us.

Remember I raised similar points when I said McLean was a fantastic player before the end of last year I think.

 

Hes easily been player of the year for me so far.

[Tord31]

He still doesn't score enough goals which is probably why he's going to the championship and not celtic/EPL

[StandFree1982]

 

Whilst its hard to argue that coming back on loan to us gets him Brownie points, I think we'd be in a much worse place if it wasn't for McKenna. That and him signing 2 new contracts to keep the wolves from the door... Kenny's a very close 2nd though...

Not just Wolves, Hull too.

[dj_bollocks]

Touche...

In reality Brophy is between Logan and where the ball is likely to land.

He is entitled to stand his ground and fashion his body in anticipation of where the ball is coming down.

The question perhaps that should be asked is what the fuck Logan was doing in the air in the first place?

Willie Miller called it saying that Logan didn't deal with it.

I also agree that our penalty looked pretty soft.

[The Hawk]

Was the Robson one against Thistle away when Rooney was on the pitch and should have taken it?

Yeah it was. Lost 3-1 that day, he missed before they went 1-0 up.

Think Robson missed against Riga at Pittodrie also.

He doesn't stand his ground. He goes into a space that's only there as our player is in the air.

[Andy_123]

It was definitely a foul.

 

If it had been the other way round, a Killie defender doing that to Rooney, assuming he hadn't already jumped and landed 5 seconds before the ball arrives at his head, nobody would be saying it wasn't a foul.

[waldo5]

The more pertinent point is Logan has been shite all season and isn't a very good defender in general, regardless of the above incident.. is it still taboo to say this about him?

He was good defensively last night. Up against one of the form players in the country in Jordan Jones and kept him quiet.

Nothing taboo but you're speaking shite

[Tord31]

Logans been shite since he stopped commuting from manchester

[waldo5]

Nae shite ata. But if it was, it'd be a good role reversal with you.

 

Scratch that - it'd be bollocks to be you mcdougall, min.

[Scotty_Toronto]

I also agree that our penalty looked pretty soft.

 

Just as soft as Jones' at Pittodrie?

 

The tie came down to penalties.

 

Killie can't complain.

[Chewie37]

Hes taken a bit of shite this season Shay - but if you're reading (he is - of course he is; wee social media whore he is); I think you're the bees knees son.

But even an off form Logan is better than most right backs we've had since McKimmie?

[fine-n-dandy]

McInnes is back on the list for the West Brom job. Pardew is unlikely to leave until the end of the season and they are now looking outside the normal merry go round for a younger manager who can do a rebuilding job.

Fingers crossed

[maryhilldon]

I feel bad hating on Mcinnes. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, he won us a cup and he's knocked back a couple of huge pay rises to stay with us. But the truth is this team is not working, we've been shite all season. This summer is gonna be more of a turnover than last summer with all the loans leaving .

Has he though?

 

Many tout as fact that AFC matched the Sunderland offer, and that Sevco couldn;t match or improve on it.

 

Hence this, 17K or 19K thing doing the rounds.

I forget which it was.

I doubt we matched the wages but the question is valid. Did he really knock back better offers? Sunderland are in deep DEEP shit, on the way down with a mountain of debt. Rangers have papered over the cracks b6 actually startin* to play fitba but what state are they in financially?

 

I still don’t want him to go but he needs to find a way of motivating this team and injecting some energy back into it.

Aye but what did Hearts offer?

[BWG]

Thought it was Hibs that were in for him? @@tup

[ebbe]

LOL. Turned down his boyhood club. More like he realised the state his boyhood club were in. Open your eyes min.

[muttonhumper]

Lol

 

Fuck off

 

You think we are paying 19k a week on wages?

 

He loves Aberdeen, turned down his boyhood club, turned down a massive club down south, won us a cup and broken numerous points totals

 

It's thanks to him bringing stability and respectability that the Donalds paid off the debt and in turn we were able to think if w new stadium and training facilities

 

He is a fucking legend already

 

No, I don't as it happens.

 

Was the "fuck off" to me, because you thought I did?

[maryhilldon]

He is a fucking legend already

Put the glue down son.

[SheepieBaaBaa]

Positives

 

Derek McInness is Aberdeen's most successfull manager since Alex Ferguson - Fact

 

First Manager to win a cup since Roy Aitken - Fact

 

Not more than a few seasons ago we "aiming for " top 6 finishes - Fact

 

Not so long before that we were relegation fodder - Fact

 

Last few seasons we have been at least looking like challenging for silverware and even outside chance of league challenges - Fact

 

Negatives

 

Has struggled against Celtic this season - Fact

 

Has struggled against Sevco - a less forgivable Fact

 

 

 

If you take the Sevco Results as an aberration and and think we were a bit unlucky (rather than inept) in the last defeat from Celtic, we would be top of the league - Fact

 

If the 3 losses against Sevco had been against anyone else, then people would be less agitated. - probably a fact

 

Porterfield out

Miller Out

Aitken Out

the better Miller Out

 

etc

etc

etc.

 

Get a grip! There is not a manager out there that we can realistically get that would do better than McInness. He's not tactically perfect, but then again, if he was, he wouldn't be managing Aberdeen - Fact

 

Back the manager, to gradually build the team, retain the youngsters, bring in new talent and develop existing. I reckon we'd need at least another couple of years without a trophy before I'd be "glad to see the back of" McInness.

Hmmm.

 

I'd wager this statement of fact will cause some interest.

Complete and utter loser mentality.

It's the use of "Fact" itself which is doing my head in.
