Fastes ever goal in FA Cup Final history perchance? Louis Saha - 24 seconds. Boro Fans must be having a little chuckle to themselves after that one
-
So was this guy but i wouldnt have him as manager either
-
My thoughts are that until the whole money-football relationship comes to a crashing halt down Englandshire it will be ni-on impossible for any scottish club outside the old firm to tempt any manager from down south unless he has been sitting on his ass for several months with no offers. Aberdeen may be a name but as my Dad (Argyle fan) pointed out, we also suffer from the 'oh thats fucking miles away, im not going there' that Plagued Plymouth for many years. Im almost resigned to Mcghee being hired in the next 2 weeks and since I have slowly been losing interest in the day to day runnings of AFC these last few weeks I dont think i really care if they do However if I see of hear of John Hughes or Jim jeffries anywhere near the city of Aberdeen .... [flash=200,200] I dont envy the people in my office

Have we actually 'shelled out' for Calderwood and Co? Hes apparenlty talking to the redheads and making sly digs at AFC but has it been confirmed that hes been paid off, or are we to see 'calderwood takes up post at <insert lower league english team here> in the next couple of days which might shed some light on why the rumours about him leaving were circulating almost a week before the hibs game?
-
Dunno about you but im looking for someone that will improve on Calderwoods showing Not just keep it ticking over

Brighton is his only genuine success??? 1st season: Wins the legue 1 playoff- Promotion 2nd season:Gets them to finish 20th out of 24 (Highest league finish in many years it may be but a success?) 3rd season: Relegated back to League 1 4th season: Sacked after 3 straight defeats Id put taking a cash strapped, fresh from administration stuggling SPL team to 3rd place in 1 season as more successful than that. And I still dont think he is the right man for the job. Perhaps if he and Eric Black team up I might be won over but then again perhaps not If we are choosing managers based on similar success to Mcghee's brighton record then we may aswell have Roy Aitken back
-
Or if we do it might be someone worth having

McGhee to leave Motherwell.........
tom_widdows replied to glasgow sheep's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
Said individual has informed me he 'believes McGhee is Pittodrie bound' -
And 5th in a league of 12 last season and 9th in a league of 12 the season before

THE OFFICIAL: "LET'S ALL LAUGH AT HEARTS"
tom_widdows replied to glasgow sheep's topic in Football Chat
At least our players arent all mouth and actually get stuck in -
In my experience mr Wood only throws money away on his Kids business exploits. So unless we can get his son involved in AFC then he isnt going to follow milnes example and hand over cash for no return
-
Where have millwall been since he left? FA Cup final and UEFA Cup Where did leicester go when he left Back to the premiership, 2 league cups, UEFA Cup Where did wolves go when he left? The Premiership Brighton 20th place in a league of 24 impresses you? Motherwell ooh boo hoo they lost some players. Thats why they couldnt make it into the top 6 again . Calderwood of course never lost Anderson, Smith, Nicolson, Miller, Hart or anyone else. I dont wish to doubt your experience of football management but putting all yer faith in someone who has done less than Jimmy Calderwood doesnt strike you as a bit misguided?

Dundee United: Will they ever finish above us?
tom_widdows replied to glasgow sheep's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
I just like seeing this over and over -
McGhee to leave Motherwell.........
tom_widdows replied to glasgow sheep's topic in Aberdeen Football Club
now theres a name from the past anyway I have been informed in the past by someone particularly close to Mr McGhee that there are only 2 jobs that he would leave motherwell for - Us and the Tic. Personally I hope he goes to the latter but im with Mizer. Id be very susrprised if he went there especially before Stuart Baxter has been mentioned -
Dundee United: Will they ever finish above us?

Made even more sweet by the fact today was their Centenary day -
So long as we are claiming shit id like to be congratulated in that my decision not to go to games from mid february 2009 has resulted in Jimmy Calderwood leaving the club. Some might claim my decision was down to an enforced 4 day week but Im telling you all now it was a protest against the management and AFC and jimmy clearly noticed that I was absent from the terraces and took the only action they could. And it only took 3.5months. Dont be shy now. Some people said my protest had failed but look whats happened.
-
If yer so adamant that you are not a plastic fan why do you feel the need to justify yourself on here? Smacks of insecurity

ya gotta love a good Train wreck

i want a Miller & Mcleish Double act
-
Think you will find Miller started off as manager that season but was sacked in February just b4 a crunch match with the huns. Aitken took over and Dodds, Shearer and Jim Macluskey(Ref) saw off the huns only for us to be brought right back to earth 6 days later at Ochil View. Luckily with 7 games left something clicked and the great escape took us to the playoffs. Im in a similar boat in that I got into football in the 1993/94 season (Miller's 2nd and last full season as manager) to which we finished 2nd but I cant recall the team setting the heather on fire. Too many draws cost us the title. The next season Mcleish retired and suddenly the team went to pot. I went for Skovdahl just because he actually managed to get us to hampden and into europe on 2 occasions and had us giving Hertha Berlin a right scare, with a team that had been ripped apart by Alex Miller. yes we got hammered by the old firm almost everytime usually by at least 5 but the time so was every other team in the SPL (everyone remembers us getting lumped 7-0 at parkhead but seems to forget motherwell getting lumped 8-1 at fir park by celtic or St Johnstone getting hammered 7-0 at Mcdiarmed by Guivarch and co). He also was in charge during the best day ive ever had at tannadice (5-3). Aitken may have got us a trophy and Deano but he also thought 750k was worth swapping for Brian o Neil

Thats what 2million others were saying in january
-
I want you to give us a diary of the events that transpired on protest day I want details of numbers involved, acknowledgement from club members, photos and interviews taken from the press. Once you have done all that I shall respond with the tale of the protest which saw Alex miller sacked. I shall then ask an independant body to compare them and give formal reports on the success of both
