Jute Minks to be put to the sword. Nothing less than 4-0 is acceptable. Walking in a Sheerin Wonderland. 

Glass will be in place by then I’d think

Probably but I think he will still allow Sheerin to take the side for that one match as he will still be getting to know the squad. He's then got the international break to start putting his own ideas across in training before taking charge properly for the first game after the split

Maybe, we’ll need to wait & see.

Apparently Glass is a 4-2-3-1 man.

                    Lewis

McCrorie Taylor Hoban Considine 

       Ferguson McGeouch 

       McGin Kamberi Hayes 

                  Hornby

McInnes said Hornby has a good chance of making it.

I’ll be bold & say 0-0 ?

2- 0 THE REDS

Whens the game?

I saw we have the second highest amount of clean sheets in the league (level with the tims). I doubt that will continue now that McInnes has gone, but I do think we'll score. 1-1 or 1 nil to us 

[King Street Loon]

Oh for a game like this on Saturday. 

Eoin Jess 3 Arabs 2.

I was really disappointed listening to Paul Sheerin red TV interview. Seems completely unaware why mcinnes was sacked and doesn't plan on changing much. 

We need to scrap the 3 donkey central defenders and go back to playing 2 donkeys instead. Get another forward on and try and move our team 20 to 30 yards up the pitch. 

Continuing to play the same way will result in more clean sheets regardless of who's manager but we won't score any.

Really good to watch. Couple of things Jim Bett did...sublime.

One of my favourites. Did everything at his own pace and rarely wasted a pass. Great player.

All the 11 donkeys need putting on a flight to Tibet to work with the Sherpas.

What a game.  What a first half.  Almost 10 minutes into the highlights and Jock Brown announces we're into the 10th minute of the match. Over 20 minutes were dedicated to first half alone.  We've struggled to fill just 2 minutes of highlights from the last 10 games.

Was a decent Utd team too.  And a decent crowd.

Sky, UEFA, and silly money ruined our sport.

Pace was key.  Had a tremendous ability to put his foot on the ball and say right abdy, calm down, its only (insert name of dross here), everyone do their jobs and we're sorted.

But then, just as the pace dropped he was in off the Mainstand touchline and its another rasper into the RDS postage stamp.

Come to think of it, did he ever score at the Merkland?

Bett is in my best ever Dons midfield along with Strachan, Simmy & Weir.

The starting X1 from that video.... I think Lewis is the only one who’d get in (for Watt).

Maybe controversially, Hoban in for Irvine at a push.

 

[Tord31]

I had not opened this thread yet. It's funny there is replies saying we expect Glass to be in charge for this one.

It's pretty clear he won't be and we are using the time well to go through a thorough process.

It was a good time to move the manager on with only one game in 4 weeks and if including the Dumbarton/Huntly game for Sheerin it gives 5 weeks in total.

Back then I wasn't a huge Irvine fan, but after watching a lot of old games I think he would comfortably make our team now

I'd take Dobbin over Hoban every time.

Irvine would be our best centre back by some distance nowadays. Captain as well probably. 

[Guest milne_afc]

Irvine would be better than Hoban in his current state never mind in his prime.

Great game, there was an amazing atmosphere at the game as there usually was at Tannadice back then, just watching the touch of Jess and Gilhaus compared to the like of Main and Cosgrove is unbelievable. This is probably my favourite time as a Dons fan, in my late Teens going to most games, we played some unbelievable football and played on the front foot. A long time since I have heard the commentator say Aberdeen have started with 3 up front especially away from home. great times and some great players in the team

[aberdeen1970]

Fit aboot Dougie Donnelly's 'tache though? 

Outrageous decision to pair it with his bouffant hairdo.

Front 3 of Mason, Jess & Gilhaus.  We can only dream of having one of them let alone 3 now

Makes me laugh when ill-informed arseholes in the media were saying McInnes had been our best manager since Fergie, they forget how good the Smith team of 89-91 were.
