strachanmcgheegoal Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 ICT Final. Obviously. Semi against St J. Cunts (not least because it ultimately led to us signing Stevie May) Rijeka (although they then go on to speak mainly about Kairat Almaty in the next round). Celtic in 2016. Was that the Ward leaving/Rooney injury/bastard Griffiths late goals season? Celtic cup final. Someone had to lose, happens it was us. Celtic last day of the season. Meh - obvious question marks on this game but coming 2nd above the hun was the important part. Created the self belief to go on and....do absolutely fuck all. They went for Hibs this season. In truth could have picked 5 or 6 games. Link to comment

McCall was so distraught I thought he was gonna start crying. It was a masterclass in failed managers sticking up for each other. Shook my head when Levien claimed it was the first bad patch of Mcinnes' tenure. Wasn't he paying attention about a year ago when Mcinnes said it wasn't nice hearing the fans singing 'Derek Derek get tae fuck'? Link to comment

Liam Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I’m not getting my knickers in a twist about a couple of complete nobodies in Levein and McCall backing McInnes. They are losers and firm believers of Aberdeen should be happy with what they get and are best ignored along with the majority of Scottish Football. 1 Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Fuck knows how Glass or Maloney would get on. We just have to back whoever. The most important thing will be if they get financially backed by Cormack or if we're just gonna stick with 3rd/4th forever more Link to comment
Sheepo Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Not sure about Maloney, I get his merits but he is tainted with his longstanding association with the Scum, he would bring a modern outlook on things and must have learned a bit in his time in England and with the Belgium set up, but cannot help thinking he is a died in the wool Tim. I can see the merits in Glass coming maybe as an assistant but no way should we be taking a gamble on him as manager. Some of the other Bookies front runners like Lennon, Goodwin and Adams are an absolute no from me Link to comment

Its set into the fans mindset as well. That's why we've got all these morons going "We can't sack McInnes, he's gotten us to more cup finals than anyone outside of Celtic" And how many did we win? 1, and even that we scraped through. "Who else will get us consistently 3rd place" third.....hud me back! I know realistically we were never pushing for the league, but come on...if we'd been anywhere near as good as we were in the first few McInnes seasons we would have been chasing a Champions League place. Instead we're happy to scrape into Europe and make the odd semi final / final. Feels sometimes like we're a wee Championship side when we come up against Celtic and Rangers. We play like we're just lucky to be on the same pitch as them and happy to just be taking part in the outing. I wouldn't be surprised if the players were taking photos of themselves outside the Big Stadium. Link to comment

He comes across really well as well, I think he'd do a decent job at Pittodrie. Link to comment

At last an honest piece from a guy who takes a genuine interest in us. The mentality is all wrong at Pittodrie in the last couple of Years and the new manager will come into a club similar to what Fergie came into and will have to change the mentality from top to bottom. Maybe we should hear more from the likes of McMaster rather than bitter failed managers like Levein and Mcall Link to comment

Goodwin would have a big clear out on his hands. Plus backing financially from Cormack and his board, would he get it for signings he would want to take in. Look what the last ST Mirren manager Aberdeen signed up achieved but Chris Anderson and the Donald’s were in charge.!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 "It's all too mediocre, four cup finals and qualifying for Europe every season isn't good enough for me, I'd want to see some trophies." Wonder why we never hear Mcmaster on the radio then. Clearly not careful enough what he wishes for. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 His backing of Goodwin is interesting (there seems to be a link back to his Alloa days). He's acknowledging that Derek getting us to where we were wasn't without merit and given the squad status that it'll take the right man with a considerable budget just to simply keep us there. But then back to the clincher - regardless of achieving that stable continuation, that alone is never good enough. Love it. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 McMaster nailing it in the same way he used to nail his crosses with his trusty left peg. Cue shouts from the media accusing him of being stuck in the 80s etc. Link to comment
CalgaryDon Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Quite an inspiring article. I've said it before. I want Goodwin in. Presently the best young manager in Scotland and has done very well at both Alloa and St Mirren. If we are going for a left field appointment - Shaun Maloney. Link to comment

The re-signings of McGinn, Taylor and Hayes were all predictable disasters and McMaster's "comfort zone" nailed it. McInnes is a loser. Good riddance. I don't think Taylor has been a disaster. He's been no worse than Hoban or Considine this season. I think he's been pretty solid throughout, bar a few moments. McGinn has. He was done when he left and we still took him back. Hayes, started the season brightly but faded like everyone else. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and see how he gets on for the remainder or the season and next, if he stays. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I like Hayes and think he's still one of our best players. I think he's guilty of trying to do too much but as a result not really achieving anything well. But I agree with the general principle. Bringing back players in their late 20s or 30s who are not as good as when they left a few years ago sets a bad precedent of the club being seen as a safety net and pre retirement home as well as making your squad older.

NEM Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 McMaster got the cart horse sussed. Should never have signed the useless cunt a first time, absolutely criminal signing him for a second. Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Spot on from McMaster. His “comfort zone” description of some of our transfer dealings couldn’t have been more accurate. Get him in as DOF if we are determined to go down that route. Also loved the comment about Fergie telling him to fuck off after he said thanks for winning the league ?. Link to comment
