fine-n-dandy Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 This really shouldn’t have its own thread on here ffs. At least they’re showing more balls than our chairman did when Huns died & we only had one cheek to try & boot Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Well it makes a refreshing change from the usual towing of the party line, a difference to the usual " know your fucking place, rhetoric we have spoon fed to us. Whether they can actually do it is another issue, but they had a great chance under Burley, It's been coming on for 36 yrs since any club out with those two won the league, I'm now starting to wonder if I will see a different winner in my lifetime, Had you told a 13yr old me back then in 1986, I would never have believed it , and it may well have put me off the game for life Link to comment
The Gee Man Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 You can’t split the old firm and win the league? One of them would still be above you 3 Link to comment

In fairness perhaps he means to split them and then go on to win it, or perhaps he's just not that confident in what he's saying. Link to comment

graham Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 John Robertson on becoming manager of Hearts gave a very good, inspiring interview,that his ambition was to aim to do as well as he could and to win the league.Derek McInnes.Not once in all his time at Aberdeen did he ever vouchsafe that his aim was to win the league.He won the first eight league games one season and was asked are you aiming to win the league.To the journalists he gave that smart Alec reply 'I am just trying to win games,I will leave that speculation to you people.' Derek McInnes was the apotheosis of the man in Scottish football who knew his place . 2 Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Fair play to the Hearts boy. We should all be having a go at the Huns and Celtic and showing them zero respect. The press will round on him now though and try and ridicule him until he 'knows his place'. That's the Scottish football way. Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Said this before. Within 9 pts (3 games) at Christmas and 6 pts at the split and take it from there. Arrogant fucks will treat you as the Plucky loser till it’s too late. Any better too early and as you say, press will just destroy you. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 If you get isolated football figures saying anything resembling fuck the Huns and Celtic then they'll try and pick them off. They've got so many journos and pundits of that persuasion. But if everyone did it at the same time in a concerted effort they'd soon show how thin all their skins really are. Link to comment

Derek McInnes was the apotheosis of the man in Scottish football who knew his place . Was that the season when there was that strange week when Hun DMC all of a sudden was bookies favourite to leave the club, there was a hastily arranged press conference in which he said he wasn't leaving, then we lost to st Johnstone the next sat 4-1.

Jeez a link for a comment on a radio prog from (looking it up) 2007? Was asked something about his ambitions in the league with the questioner awaiting the usual "of course we can't compete with celtic or rangers" stuff but he said to try to win it. Qualified it with "am not saying we will win it but that's what we start with and we'll see how far we can take it". * Edited to remove 14 "y'know"s. Will just say there was a bit of radio silence before the interviewer fumbled out a "eh? what did you just say?" type response. Link to comment
Lan_Lad Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 They're not going to be winning the league or even coming close to second place. I think they will again be a comfortable 3rd. I would take it. Link to comment
