mizer Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 http://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/Article.aspx/1620660?UserKey= FURIOUS Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee today blasted any suggestions his side are in a relegation scrap. Last weekend’s SPL loss to rock-bottom Falkirk left Aberdeen FC nine points off the foot of the table and led to claims they have been dragged into a survival fight. Aberdeen FC tackle Hearts in a noon kick-off at Pittodrie on Saturday and McGhee wants his players to win all three points to end any talk of the dreaded drop. When asked if Aberdeen now have to worry about being relegated this season, a defiant McGhee hit back. He said: “No, it’s a totally ludicrous suggestion.†Currently sitting 5 points behind hearts with a game in hand. Only 9 points off the bottom. Aberdeen 29 St Johnstone 27 Kilmarnock 26 St Mirren 22 Hamilton 21 Falkirk 20 At the moment relegation has to be between one of the bottom three, but please fuck lets hope we dont get drawn in with our gutless wonders.

rednek Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Would like to agree with him but he needs to give me reasons to. We are too close to the wrong end of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentorred Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Not worrying yet. But if this slump continues it my be squeaky bum time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jute Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Agree only because I think league is so pish that no way teams below us will win three more than us (in some cases win another 3 games) in the remaining 15 or so games not because I think we will enough games to pull away.

redbush Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Let's hope we can get a result on Saturday and move it on from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowie Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Agree only because I think league is so pish that no way teams below us will win three more than us (in some cases win another 3 games) in the remaining 15 or so games not because I think we will enough games to pull away. Thats the thing though - pretty much every time this season when we've played these so called 'shite' teams, they've invariably gotten the better of us - last weekend was a case in point.

Cowie Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 End up in the bottom 6 with a margin of 9 points or less off bottom and anything can happen. Far from ludicrous. And if it comes down to it, you just know our players wont have the balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 And if it comes down to it, you just know our players wont have the balls. That's my worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I think its ludicrous to deny it, why have your head in the sand about the situation? We are in a complete mess, the players have no fight about them unless its against a team that plays football. There are not many of those in the SPL. Whilst I hope that the rest of the league is just as pish as us and won't put a decent run together, to totally discount relegation is stupid.

BobbyBiscuit Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I was going to say that I thought McGhee would have said "We could be in a relegation fight if results go against us this weekend", primarily because for most players this would give them the kick up the arse required. Then I remembered what a shower of gutless cunts we have playing for us and also realised they wouldn't give a fuck as long as they still got paid at the end of the week.

El Padre™ Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 9 points is only three games, the bottom 6 dogfight is tickling our collective arses. If that doesn't motivate the team I don't know what will. The boys should be able to beat hearts if things come together and they play the way we know they all can, but that's a fucking hoor of an if.

Aberdeen_Ladette Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Thats the thing though - pretty much every time this season when we've played these so called 'shite' teams, they've invariably gotten the better of us - last weekend was a case in point. That's my concern, and agree with your subsequent point that the players we have don't seem to have the balls for a relegation fight.

mizer Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Would it? (see my lengthy rant after the Falkirk Game "Just Back In/Where do we go from here?" If it was in trouble I think you would find people worring and going. Just now it is sheer apathy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Apparently a few days is a long time in football, as McGhee now acknowledges we are in a relegation battle. At least he's got one thing right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentorred Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Now lost 7 home games and the season is not over. Last time we lost more than 6 at home was Patersons last season when we lost 11 and finished 2nd bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
