  1. I mean, I can't prove it but I highly doubt your claim that people had heard of Thelin. I like to think I'm in touch with football and I'd never heard of him until his name was in the Daily Record or whichever rag got that rumour going. The Knutsen ship was never in port, that was just bollocks made up by our chairman to get fans on side, let's be realistic. If it's not someone like O'Neill (whether it's O'Neill or not) then it's either going to be a young unproven manager, or a foreigner. I'm strongly against the young unproven manager as we've tried and failed with that experiment. I'm not against a foreign manager, I don't subscribe to the 'must know the Scottish game' theory. However, why the fuck would a foreign manager of any sort of standing join us? We are NOT an attractive club. The reaction is what would keep me going. I'm warming to the idea. LennIN.
  2. The fan expectation is horrific. We must have a disproportionate number of morons in the support (going off of social media/this shit forum etc.). People still think we can attract Knutsen, Thelin (who we'd never heard of until 2 weeks ago), or anyone with any pedigree. Then, when Michael O'Neill's name is getting bandied about, it's 'ooh the football will be eye bleedingly shite!'. Well, unfortunately we aren't going to get an up and coming tiki-taka manager rock up to Pittodrie, so knuckle down boys and girls. We've wasted 3 years since McInnes got the bullet. Let's just kill ourselves.
  3. We may be wrong but we won't be confused
  4. Try reading the earlier posts in this thread and you’ll realise that it is.
  5. Hoilett only signed because Warnock was here. Warnock leaving will have surprised him. I envisage he’ll be off at the end of the season.
  6. The footage on redtv was fucked all game, consistently cutting out to a ‘uplynk - we’ll be back soon’ message. Rob McLean actually said ‘it might not have been a bad one to not be able to watch’ or words to that effect 😃
  7. We have, unfortunately, completely stifled Miovski since Warnock arrived. I think objectively Warnock is a good manager; or at the very least, he’s mastered his niche. That being, he comes in, does a short term rally, and off he pops into the sunset, much revered. He’s tried to enforce the same niche here but it isn’t working, primarily because the players are all, bar a couple, shrinking violets. The problem Warnock has now is that he’s alienated at least half of them (I’m thinking the likes of Devlin, Clarkson, Sokler, and yes, even Morris). We may all think these players are shite/not good enough, but that toxicity will rot through the club and affect their locker room mates. The majority of the other half want away anyway (Roos, Duk, Miovski, Barron). What are you left with? Shinnie trying to do everything. A couple of complete wasters like Jensen and Gartenmann. And really, not much else. Warnock has got to try and galvanise them. Tell a few lies. In my eyes, the way he’s gone about things is very similar to when Goodwin just blurted out to half the players that he didn’t want them and they all gave up (understandably). Warnock hasn’t quite said those words, but his actions are effectively the same thing. TLDR: we’re shite.
  8. The barometer for the likes of MacKenzie should be ‘if he left today, where would he end up?’ The answer is St Johnstone or Dundee United. He’s not good enough.
  9. I'm wary of sounding Team Burrows here, as I'm not - I'd suggest personal trauma probably does impact the ability to do your job though. Believe it's their second miscarriage. That said, I checked on instagram and it appears it was around August, so doesn't necessarily excuse him going silent now. Who knows. #BeKind
  10. Whilst I fully understand the Burrows chat, isn't it worth noting there are some mitigating circumstances. Can't even remember the full details but believe his wife miscarried recently?
  11. 3-0 home win. Robson to remain in charge.
  12. This is a valid point - I’d love to know what our PR person, Zoe Ogilvie (?), is actually up to? Cormack and Robson both consistently say and do the wrong thing. Do they get any coaching/training/advice? What does she do (fit does he deeee)?
  13. That’s part of the issue. I’m not a Cormack defender, he’s got loads of flaws. The playing side, however, is surely the remit of ‘Gunner’. Cormack’s flaw is not dealing with Gunner.
