Good post, buddy. Unfortunately, the bit that strikes a chord with me the most and saddens me the most is this:
That is the big problem for me. There is an apparent aversion to professional pride at Pittodrie. The only ballsy challenge today was made by an 18 year old making his SPL debut.
Nostalgia time: I'm not sure how many of you remember a match in the early 90's that was a Monday night (think it was the first Scottish game on BSkyB or something) it was against the huns, it may well have been a Scottish Cup game. We lost one-nil. But that night Spackman and Hurlock started taking liberties with some of their tackles on our players. Bett got moved wide right, van de Ven moved into the middle and him and Brian Grant kicked the fuck out the two hun arseholes. That was professional pride and also pride for the jersey. No one in our team demonstrates that and by Christ we need someone to. Both the team and the fans would respond to it.
