Where Are They Now

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Madisson wouldnt have lasted half a season if he was breaking through in the late 80s like Eoin Jess!!

Jess would flourish in the non contact sport era. 
 

I don’t think anyone debates how gifted Maddison was. I’m not having it that his vision was too good for his team mates though, we aren’t talking about Bergkamp here. He was just a teenage loan player up in Scotland, i don’t think he was taking it seriously. His attitude wasn’t good enough, but he seemed to learn a lot on a personal level. 

[aberdeen1970]

He was superb, technically.  Probably the best in the entire league. 

But he was unable to fit into McInnes' system and McInnes wasn't prepared to change to accommodate him. Which made it doomed to failure. 

Christie was able to come in and adapt quickly which made him the more effective player for us in the system we were playing.

Millertime, you have taken it too far ! James Maddison could not hold a candle to Eoin Jess.

Aye it fucking was. You offered your first opinion in a debate by claiming that it wasn't up for debate, and a debate now rages on you fucking specialist.

Agree. Jess was a far, far more complete player at 19. Maddison showed what he could do in flashes. 

[Reed or deed]

Jess > Maddison

If you want the pleasure of my interaction in future I suggest you calm the jets and then apologise

Totally agree with you Maddison was technically brilliant but when he left I think second half of that season when christie signed I think he was actually a better player for us. 

 

Ok I’ll bite ?No he wasn’t Jess at 19 was better than Maddison at 19 for us 

This. Largely down to the fact that Jess was a first team regular in a competitive league and had a full season and two winners medals to his name at 19.

Edit to add, Jess even beats Maddison in goals against der Hun. Maddison's free kick was a peach, but Jess' take on the halfway line before beating the entire Hun defence and sticking it in the top corner at the Bastard Garden is one of my favourite AFC goals of all time. Plus Maddison's wasn't really against Rangers.

Goals against "rangers " dont remotely factor into my thinking , but I'm not surprised they do yours

Out classing the much raved about Geordie minker also. 
Jess was up against far far better Rangers players than Maddison was with Sevco. 
Same rgds the other arse cheek sides on then & now. 
 

In a far far more physical/less protected era also.

Nothing to do with goals against rangers. At 19 Jess was man of the match in a cup winning final against a really good rangers team. Maddison was anonymous in a cup final against a good Celtic team.

So I’d say Jess was better

Anyone who claims "footballers are role models" is an idiot. 

Footballers are like anyone else. If you're a shit parent and need to let footballers be role models to your kids, that's your issue. Footballers are there to play football, their hobbies are their own business.

Unfortunately raping isn't what one would call a hobby

^ I mean unfortunate for Goodwillie. 
 

To be clear.

Milsom still aboot,last minute winner for Sutton.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Good.  I liked Milsom.

Re hobbies fuck sakes you cynics.  Next you’ll be telling me you didn’t believe the mother thinking her lass was a cleaner for Epstein.

I'm not going to get involved in this debate, but if you're referring to the cup final where the Celtic midfield took turns to bring him down every time he got the ball, then you're being harsh. Not one of them got booked either, if I remember correctly.

Maybe I am being harsh. Was at the game and never rewatched it cos we lost but from what I remember I thought the whole team was pretty toothless and he didn’t stand out at all

We were pish that day, but they targeted Maddison the second he got the ball.

Obviously done their research and saw if you tackle him a couple of times he’d give up

On this point. Which team do our goals against matter most to you as an ‘Aberdeen fan’ just out of curiosity? Cos every teams fans have a team (or couple of) they really hate & love when we beat most & score against most.

 

Careful how you answer this now, as it genuinely will reveal a lot about the kind of ‘Aberdeen fan’ you really are.

 

You’re already fighting an uphill battle to come anything close to redemption by your comments in which I have quoted & what begged this question.

 

fk off you hun cunt

[fine-n-dandy]

^^^^this is where he says he doesn’t care as long as we score more v any opposition ^^^^

In other words ‘I’m basically a hun cunt with all hun fam & friends & pretending to be an Aberdeen fan’.

^^^ basically because it makes me seem unique in my hun fam & friends group & they will love my rebellious pretence
