You’re overthinking it The man was presented with a golden era of opportunity, assembled and maintained a decent squad throughout (to be fair) and won the same as Danny Lennon We consistently lost games we should’ve won when it counted across that period. I’m pretty happy calling that a bottle job You could actually watch his bottle crashing for a few weeks last season.

You're really just demonstrating my point, sort of! I'm not arguing that McInnes had bottle, I'm arguing that bottle is a nebulous term that you can pick and choose when to ignore it or not to suit your argument. You've discounted my examples based on flimsy pretext (we finished ahead of Gerrard's Huns who won the league the following season, for clarity), because they don't fit the point you're trying to make. I could quickly do the same with your points: the St Johnstone game wasn't the biggest bottle job I've seen, much more a case of a team who turned up thinking that they were already through to the final (made worse after we scored); the Motherwell game cancelled be entirely explained by our midfield, if you care to look it up! Again, McInnes failings as a manager are several, but summing them up with meaningless things like bottle is just lazy. I'd argue that failure to recognise McInnes' failures, his ceiling and the attributes required to move beyond the ceiling he couldn't break through is one of the reasons why we keep fucking up our managerial appointments. Thelin is the only manager since McInnes that any one of us would have jumped at as a replacement for McInnes that we would believe could take us forward. It wouldn't surprise me if members of the FMB bought into shite about bottle.

Motherwell game confirmed as being moved.

Faith Hill- This Kiss

I mind him, had to go off injured very early in the final. Think it was against Bayern they were against that day. Reserve keeper, Nigel Spink took over in goals.

Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy - Kiss Me

I would not be starting Olusanya or Yogane as Dundee seemed to have both figured out last week. Would like to see Bilalovic and Smith but given Bilalovic has not been even on the bench for a weeks now doubt we will see him in Dons shirt again. I thought Marshall played well last week so would start him instead of one of Bridel or Ameru as Dundee rang rings round both last week. Last Saturday was sadly everything I expected and feared from a Robinson team so giving this week a miss. Oot Somewhere in Capital Local game probably Musselburgh v Linlithgow Flat 0-2 no dons scorer.

Daryll Hall & John Oates - Kiss On My List

That is a huge amount of turd polishing. The games you’ve mentioned were good results but not ones that required bottle, as we weren’t really going into them as favourites. The St. Johnstone semi was the biggest bottle job I’ve seen. The semis against the PJMs, Motherwell, even the final he won was a bottle job. Most of Scotland were finishing above the Huns when he was in charge. Were Dumbarton showing bottle? 😆

Too much doom and gloom here. Early season and a ton of new players. Again. Injuries don’t help but last week was briedl’s first real taste of Scottish football. Expect him to be better tomorrow. Olasanya is a complication. Don’t think he helps with balance as he’s not a right mid, yet he’s involved in many of our goals. I’d still prefer smith on the right, newbie on the left, and hopefull Ronan behind nisbet. Armstrong shouldn’t start, I don’t think he has the legs for a full game and whether consciously or not, you adapt your game when starting versus and impact sub giving it everything when you come on. 2-1 us, nisbet and olasanya. I will add, def agree we are a brad lyons midfielder type short. If Ronan is out tomorrow we’re lightning the middle of the park too. I’d even be inclined to start Marshall and bring Armstrong in when appropriate.

My big frustration with McInnes was he was just too conservative in crunch games against the tims.. I suppose you could call that lack of bottle but it seems harsh when really it was only the best celtic team for near 20 years that he couldn't lay a glove on. Other than that I liked him 2bh. He spoke well, was tactically sound, players clearly loved him and I had some of my best times as an Aberdeen fan under his tenure. It went stale and he left under a bit of a cloud but given the shit we had been through before he took over his hisst 6 years were night and day in comparison. @rico it's an interesting point you make re mcinnesball potentially just not being able to cut the mustard at mordor. Time will tell but, to play devil's advocate, he did inherit a hoor of a mess there. It's not looking good for him currently but I wouldn't write him off just yet.

Eric Clapton - Tears In Heaven

Smokey Robinson And The Miracles - The Tears Of A Clown

Be as well forfeiting the match then.

Time will tell though it could now be a case of needing to get players out before we can take in. My feeling is if we can get Palaversa and Yenghi in particular off the books that's probably near 10k a week in wages freed up.
