This "advice" is both good and bad. Yin and yang. It is good to walk the length of where Hadrian's wall used to be, still patent in parts. Shouting abuse however, to an audience of mostly English sheep, is stress-inducing. I suggest that you don't shout but you think instead. Think about how a nation like us cos teen over by cunts like them and how 300 years later, we still haven't had the balls to ditch the fuckers. Think about those people in the North East who returned Tories in the last election. Think about how the majority of Scots, infused with, and diluted by the guffies amongst us, voted against independence. Think about all the lies we've been told over the decades and centuries. Think about the proportion of war dead between the English, the Scots, the Anzacs, the Burmese, the West Indians, the Canadians and everybody else in the "commonwealth" and compare those numbers to the actual populations. Think about the injustices in "British history", one of which comes out in film soon with the event preceding Bloody Sunday. Think about the great Scotspeople who have made significant contributions to the world. Think about the Union Jack and how it's been hijacked by the huns. Think about Irvine Welsh's line, so brilliantly articulated by Ewen McGregor about how shite it is to be Scottish. And then think how even more shite it would have been to have grown up on that side of the wall.

Ok, points taken and one point taken. Was just in and boiling with rage. What infuriates me the most is that they were there to be beaten and had we not been handicapped by very poor management (once again), it would've been 3 points (plus a shocking referee error). Coming second doesn't get a trophy but we have no chance of being second come May, whatever happens in the January window as we will be too far behind by then. The only reason AFC got 2nd was how badly organised the rest of them were. That's not the case in 2018/19. McInnes continues to defy logic and common sense in his deployment of personnel and doesn't even set them out to win against the bigger teams. He's getting found out now and the one player who has the most heart, he's one of our own, is quite clearly getting more and more frustrated. If the goal is to win then it's not working. If the goal is to get a point at Easter Road against a team weakened by the loss of their best players then it did work. All depends on what the goal is and that is a mentality and ambition issue.

Just what I was told today by someone who should be in the know. Other than the suggestion that Milne would deal at £6m, I have no further info to pass on. Time will confirm or otherwise. I would be betting at even money that my source wasn't bullshitting.
-
McKenna is going to Celtic.
-
One of McInnes's fatal personality flaws is stubbornness. It's obvious to everyone that Considine's best position isn't LB. It is equally obvious that Shinnie is regressing in midfield, was never great in there anyway and his best position is LB. Consi was lost yesterday and GS is getting more and more frustrated. This fitting of square pegs into round holes will never work. He is trying to cover up his woeful recruitment of attacking options. When has he ever had an effective midfield balance? Christie got significantly worse under McInnes from an extremely positive start. McLean was allowed to be pedestrian under McInnes, only showing any suggestion of ability after he found some motivation after signing for Norwich in January. This season is dead already. McGinn isn't going to be the answer. His best is well in the past. GMS will have the odd flash but he's not man enough nor strong enough to be a consistent performer. Shinnie will never be a great midfield contributor despite his big heart. Ball is barely good enough and Gleeson is another journeyman so who's going to be the midfield dynamo to inspire and bring through the very promising young Ferguson?
-
There's the key piece of evidence right there. For judicial precedence I refer to the case of AFC getting a point in Glasgow almost 40 years ago, whereupon the new manager was disgusted at the players celebrating a draw. Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, you can have no other option to convict. From his own mouth, Mr McInnes has stated beyond all reasonable doubt that he is not of winner mentality and is therefore not a fit and proper person to manage the football club. On behalf of the North East of Scotland and of Dons fans everywhere, get rid of the cunt.

An utterly embarrassing performance. Lucky to get a point. It's not working.
-
I went to one when we were all 40 and it was a really great night. Wouldn't go to another though nor would I hear of any not being on Facebook etc. It was arranged through friends reunited back then. What was really interesting were how a couple of the girls turned out. A coonsil lassie - that's not being snobbish but it's the only way I can describe her - who I fancied (but she didn't want to know) turned into a right soor-faced hag. The last girl I got a kiss off turned into a stunning woman, well dressed and elegant. Dunno why I didn't pursue her after the end of school but no regrets. Must've been busy washing my hair.
-
If anyone can be arsed, I want to know how many games Ross and Wright have started in their 4/5 years at the club? Then we can ask that tyrannical wanker why he's already decided they're not good enough?
-
Thanks for sharing Kenny. These are tragic comments. Let's not forget that his start at Dens came immediately after he came on as a sub v. The filth and scored that amazing free kick. And McInnes subbed him off at HT, one of the worst professional insults he could've possibly delivered. And it wasn't merited as he wasn't the worst on the pitch.
-
If Wright gets dropped it would be a criminal mistake. It would be a failure of management and specifically a failure to understand the importance of the mind in high level performance in sport. Young performers can feel invincible. They're not old enough to be battle-hardened. They've not experienced enough failure yet to have developed mental scarring. Momentum is key for any winning team or individual. Let the kid fly. Give him an opportunity to shine, to show us what he can do. Fill a young talent's head with belief and whatever natural skills they have can't do anything other than show up. Raw abilities get honed over time and marginal gains and improvements come through great coaching, including instilling the right work ethic. But without proper motivation and inspiring them to perform at the levels they might be capable of, it will never happen. Dropping him is the equivalent of telling him you're not ready and you're not good enough. An injustice like that, yet again in his case, is hugely damaging. It's like the manager saying he knows best and as far as McInnes goes, he clearly doesn't.

The world according to TRUTH, not western lies
rocket_scientist replied to rocket_scientist's topic in Off Topic
David Mundell wheeled out in front of the BBC tonight, peddling campaign fear. It was the "overspend" per Scot this time, another fucking lie. Like anyone should listen to a beardie weirdo faggot UK-wide let alone in Scotland? He's got no mates. He's a fucking disgrace of a human. Speaking of lies, the great Spike Lee has a new film coming out on Friday. He sees truth. Do the Right Thing in 1989 is still one of the best films ever made. Hate. K o'ed by Love. -
Lewis Logan, Devlin, Considine, Shinnie Ball (has earned another chance), Ferguson McGinn, Wright, GMS May (has earned another chance) First realistic sub possibility; Ross, or perhaps the new rich Man Yoo crock if May's doing fuck all
-
No no sir. It's ALL about value. I could offer you 4/6 and lay it elsewhere. If it comes in, you and I both win. If it doesn't, you lose but I still win. Punters lose and bookies win EVERY season because of stupidity.
-
You can't state this without quoting the odds.
-
Ok that's your view. I thought it was good management. And I whilst I didn't see the gulf in class that he spoke of, there's no doubt that what he sees in training every day will be infinitely better than the home team's performance at Pittodrie that day, thus our 11 struggling like fuck v. their 10 men, saved by a teenager in the 93rd minute, our first and only shot on target the whole game. He was laying down a marker for his team and licking the arse of the huns.
-
I don't think there's much to debate or anything really to dispute. What the next employer values him at will determine what they offer the selling club as a transfer fee and what they offer the player in wages. The length of contract remaining is the biggest determinant of the transfer fee and whilst of course what he's getting paid currently is a big influence in the offer given, the selling club still as the right to negotiate or just say no without giving reason, if they run the contract down and want to keep him until contract-end.
-
Aye that bit is hard to swallow... But it would be good for the international value of Scottish football e.g. trying to sell TV rights if the league was more competitive and exciting. Unfortunately we as a club (Milne & McInnes) lack the ambition to try and make it more competitive as we don't even strive to be first. In theory that should mean more money coming into the game for everyone's benefit. The reality is that the corrupt and incompetent administrators favour the OF every single time. The other tragedy of a stronger Sevco is how uppity their knuckle dragging neanderthals get. One fucking balloon hun in our local was in denial last week that the old Rangers went into extinction and tried to quote some date during the Fergus McCann era when Celtic supposedly went the same way (they didn't). And by fuck do they hate Aberdeen, the OF who live in the North East. This cunt was already directly quoting Gerrard and saying that Rangers are "a class above" AFC. I don't see this in the League table yet and whilst this may come to pass in the weeks ahead (and I personally think it will unfortunately), these hun sick cunts can't wait to give us stick.

A footballer is "worth" what he gets paid by his current employer. He is "worth" whatever a buying club and selling club agree as a transfer fee for him. He will then be "worth" what his next employer pays him. There are no rules of thumb or exceptions to these facts of life, other than what is written is any contracts (already agreed between the player and his employer) e.g. sell-ons, transfer fee percentage bonus etc. An asset gets sold at whatever the two parties agree as the consideration, assuming that the asset itself (in the case of selling people) is happy with the terms. Not rocket science.
-
I fail to see the correlation between what he said about Gerrard and you thinking he "lacks respect" for AFC? I don't even know what you mean by him "lacking respect". McGhee and Strachan aren't stupid. They aren't denying reality. They didn't forget who they played for and where they honours came from. Not that their playing careers are remotely relevant to the comments Strachan made, all of which are 100% correct and indisputable. So what's your problem? Perhaps you need to consider what has happened to sour the relationship between AFC and these two ex-players? Then you'll see that we are not entirely blameless.
-
Good post. Considering all possibilities is the path to truth and enlightenment. That sounds like a religious mantra but it's just common sense really, not that sense is very common. There's obviously disharmony at the piggery but what is Rodgers up to? After two trebles is he thinking his stock is at its highest and he wants to move on? Does he not think he's capable of winning a third? Is he scared of Gerrard? Is the Liverpool connection in his thinking? Something terrible went on whilst Brenda was at Anfield. The likes of Rush and Dalglish detest the man. Nobody's spoken about the specifics but we do know he ran off with some woman and that her ex committed suicide recently so that might have something to do with it? He's a horrible smug cunt full of his own importance. He can't crack a smile. There's something revealing in his thin lips and that restricted mouth. He's a wrong un. Celtic and Rodgers can GTF.
-
I can agree to disagree too! He's not shite. Considine is a gutsy footballer who tries his best (one of the few who does) who has been completely mismanaged. He's not the quickest, either in feet nor in mind so he is always going to exposed at LB against a competent right flanker. The fact McInnes shoehorns him into LB is covering up the manager's appalling record of recruiting attacking strength, Shinnie being sacrificed away from his best position. We will never know now but Considine should have been developed as the left half of a Centre Back pairing. He showed his greatest promise whilst as a young loon next to Russell Anderson. He's been a great servant and would have been an even greater one if he had been managed properly.

Easiest draw for OF. Sevco v. Ayr St J v. Celtic Hearts v. Well
-
How terribly sad. On a number of levels. That video brought tears to my eyes. The expiry of Runrig is unnecessary. There is life in the old dogs. The demand is still there, and it's strong. It's symbolic of the death of the independence for Scotland demand. The band, like the country, is incapable of change and afraid to innovate. It's not prepared to put in the work. They just rehash the same old messages as yesteryear. Ewen McGregor was right. It's shite being Scottish.
-
You shouldn't say that. A tyrannical poster will slap you down. He already knows Scott isn't good enough. Then again, his imagination, knowledge and intellect is so weak, he just believes in anything McInnes does.
