Stats are going to show he was the one swinging all the punches, so it was surely bad luck he lost. Five fights in a row. Thats nae bad that min, I like that ene. Ten fights in a row though...... ?

And that night, sitting in the SS, watching ball after ball getting pinged over McKenzie’s head in the 2nd half, who’d have thought that would still be happening 10 weeks later? We got away with one that night. 5-3 up on aggregate with 25 mins to go and he’s still pushing the full backs high? Link to comment

Always thought Bobby Conner was underrated. peter hetherston not so much Hadn’t realised until yesterday that Bett played against us at Tynecastle in the do-or-die game in 94-85 season. Couldn’t have been an easy game for him to play in given his affections for our club found that out when Glexit talk touched on the fears of relegation. Link to comment

Culpable for at least 6 of our goals conceded in the last 3 matches. Who was culpable for the other one ? Link to comment

Ziggy says there's a 98.7% probability that you're here to convince Dave Cormack to sack Stephen Glass and whoever was responsible for the summer transfers, before they get Aberdeen relegated!

Apart from not being an ex footballer and coming through the ranks so to speak at Pittodrie It's hard to say that as yet, I agree. It does concern me though that we've appointed someone who appears to be completely unqualified. Hopefully he steps up and does a great job, however the fact he was appointed after the manager suggests that he's not been given the power the DoF rule should command anyway. Link to comment

Or maybe the plan all along was to get him in that position, the footballing philosophy (lol) was already decided, Gunn I think has said that in the last few years he was getting more responsibility and dealing with more of the football side of things.

ericblack4boss Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It depends what the director of football role is, For me I'd have the job spec, liaising with the manager over, what targets are for season, how the teams at all levels are structured,. Helping to co ordinate and identify scouts, Discussion over player budgets, the recruitment of players, and the director of football, being the one to negotiate player terms, Opposition reports etc, should be organised by the dof, Suspensions appeals and discipline signed off by him, A figure with experience as a coach, manager , who has conducted transfers before, someone with a name in the game who can have a respected reputation, A figure head for the club , who will deal with media duties, if manager unavailable. He also needs to be the conduit between the board and manager, and a sounding board for the manager or head coach, He also needs to have a say in the appointment of the head coach All the above , bar the last sentence ,don't cry out that peely waaly fucker Gunn to me 1 Link to comment

Yeah I think Cormack should have split the football administration and the football operation functions so that a football person was directly reporting into him as well as Gunn. Link to comment
AyrshireSheep Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Did anyone see the snippet from the Falkirk Q&A in front of a live audience? The question that was asked is one that could be levelled entirely at us. The chairman's response to that question is slightly embarrassing ?. I think Mr Cormack should do a live version completely unscripted and let's see how well he comes out of that one. Probably mention "I love Rowies" and get the fanboys right beside him.
