Stoney Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have read some amount of sh*te on this website - A few of my favorites. * Jimmy Calderwood was the second best manager in the clubs history. * Ricky Foster was a wing back. * Charlie Mulgrew was a left back* Severin Played well as a sweeper* Playing with no strikers up front at ibrox almost worked. * Billy Dodds was sh*te. * Zerouali was better than jess.* Zerouali was better than average.* Maguire is a striker. * Langfield is one of the best in the league. * Langfield is a good keeper. * We were wrong to get rid of Calderwood. * Top 6 is an achievement. * Winning one game in Europe was an achievment. * The Queen of the South semi was not the worst result in the clubs history. * Zander Diamond should be club captain. * the 2007 / 2008 season was a success and not a total failure. Revision 1 * Folly is sh*te, totally unsuited to SPL football But today i seen the worst statement ever. Which has been mentioned more than once now. "Chris Maguire is our best player" We'd be aswell closing the doors and switching off the lights if that is our best player. Link to comment

"Chris Maguire is our best player" We'd be aswell closing the doors and switching off the lights if that is our best player. I've never heard anyone say most of the above. Who's our best player, in your opinion? Is Maguire above average even, in terms of our squad, in your eyes? To my mind, the continued abuse of Maguire is a joke, and cannot be anything other than counter productive. What's the point in it, even if he's not your cup of tea, do you think continually ripping into him does anyone any good? Does it help the team? No it disna, it's based on his personality and nothing to do with his football ability or otherwise. Link to comment

Foster14 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 * Winning one game in Europe was an achievment. It was, given the respective budgets of us and each and every other club that we played that season. I'll agree the season as a whole was not a success, and the Euro run was fun but not our bread and butter. It masked some serious failings domestically that year. As for the main point of the thread, it has been done to death. Something I did notice though, was that Maguire had been young player of the month 2 out of the last 10 awards given in the SPL. Found that interesting anyways. Link to comment

Why do you think Vernon has scored so many goals? Why do you think Blackman, a player Blackburn wish to retain, and who is clearly a talented footballer, cannot dislodge Maguire from the side? Milsom disna belong to Aberdeen. Folly is sh*te, totally unsuited to SPL football, best player by a mile? Aye right, utterly anonymous in most games and overpowered in some humiliating defeats, a McGhee signing, a player who couldna get a game for Plymouth Argyle? Give me strength FFS. He does not have the physicality for Scottish football. Aluko is possibly on a par with our best on his day. Fyvie yes, but will he ever play for us again? Rumoured to be very badly injured so it's fingers crossed and hope for the best on that score. Clearly you have an issue with Maguire, christ knows why. And Roberto, I'm talking about supporters in general, not stuff appearing on this website in particular.

When we played Hearts, at Pittodrie and Tynecastle, he was simply outmuscled, easily, by the physically stronger Hearts players. Part of a team beaten 9-0. Anonymous against Caley (strength again). When did he play well, Utd at home I think is the only game I recall, and even then, nothing special. He is garbage. Link to comment

Because he is a natural striker and when he shoots he rarely misses the target - Unlike our other strikers. Blackman - Good player aye, but pissed off a lot of folk by not putting in a shift one night, Plus would be playing in the "Vernon" role if he was to start. Milsom - Does belong to aberdeen as fulham released him. Folly - Updated the original list to reflect that pile of dross. The more you post the more i see of millertime in your posting style.

Part of a team beaten 9-0. Anonymous against Caley (strength again). When did he play well, Utd at home I think is the only game I recall, and even then, nothing special. He is garbage. I'd go somewhere between you and stoney. The boy was decent enough at the start of the season and appeared to have a fair bit to him in that he did the role that was required of him. Win the ball, play it simple. His performances seemed to vary very much in line with the team as a whole though, which had me reconsider his overall ability. Giving that he is very much the ball winner, if he ain't winning the ball, he struggles to impact on a game. I still think he can do a job for us though, and I am in part probably not being 100% fair on him since he was cast out on the right in some of the more recent games in my memory. More than capable squad player, but not in the class act category for me. Link to comment

Axel is far from sheite. He does the ugly side of the game well and I would love to see him and Milsom together in the middle. I think Milsom can be the creative spark we have been missing. Get hartley oot as he is past it. Link to comment

Folly will not be part of a properly successful Dons side, rest assured on that.I agree, Milsom is from way down south, Aberdeen must be like a foreign land to him. Players with that kind of background have a history of moving on fairly quickly. And Folly doesn't have star quality, but can perform a useful journeyman type job. I don't know where his elevation to superior player came from, but he hasn't had time to prove himself yet. Link to comment

Stoney Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Copy and pasted from rival site. " Folly has been one of the most impressive players this season" "Folly looks like a complete steal" "Folly does a lot of tidying up which goes unnoticed. From what i've seen and read he appears to be very composed and doesn't rush things. Thats good enough for me" "Folly has been awesome for us. Much of his work goes unnoticed by the average punter though" Here here "Folly has been excellent" Thats from ONE Thread But hey - they must be wrong too! Link to comment

Do you ever actually answer a question that is put to you? That is brilliant stuff though. Not only do we not know who the quotes are from, you also don't mention when the quotes are from. If Folly was your stand out player for this season, give us your opinion why. I personally await why you think a holding midfielder who was involved in our plummet to the bottom is deserving of such praise as class act and player of the year. I do think he is good, just not as good as some of the superlatives mentioned. Mitigating circumstances could include Hartley's form tailing off and being chopped and changed a bit position wise when McGhee was running out of ideas but his early form certainly dwindled to average at best through mid October to mid December. Given that that is 2 of the 4 1/2 months playing here, player of the season, class act and awesome just wouldn't be how I would describe his contribution to the season. Link to comment

tup Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 How anyone can describe a player who was part of the Dons side with the lowest percentage of wins ever in Premier League football as awesome is beyond me. As I said, name me a time when he carried the side, when he drove us on to victory, when he inspired his teammates? All I seen were heavy defeats, one after the other, in demoralising style, as goals rained past us and we offered no threat at the other end. The Hearts game at Pittodrie we never managed a single attempt on target. Caley away, 2-0, Folly absolutely anonymous. 9-0 and 5-0 defeats to Celtic and Hearts, we gave up in both, Folly was overrun. How the hell can that ever be described as awesome. Some of you have values so skewed it's difficult to imagine where they originated, Folly's games for Aberdeen so far have included very few on the winning side. Link to comment
paulkaneatemyhamster Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 * Jimmy Calderwood was the second best manager in the clubs history. Who said that ? Best manager of the Milne era though. * Ricky Foster was a wing back. Decent full back , Watty Smith seems to agree. * Charlie Mulgrew was a left back It's true i saw him play there. Was he any good ? debatable .* Severin Played well as a sweeper He did, that one was true.* Playing with no strikers up front at ibrox almost worked. did for MM. 0-0 draw last season .* Billy Dodds was sh*te. no one thought that, but he's never been as good as people remember* Zerouali was better than jess. I lol'd at this. * Zerouali was better than average. he was, oh for a player of his abillity at AFC nowadays * Maguire is a striker. he can be though, reckon he's as good as Goodwillie, he's not a winger though.* Langfield is one of the best in the league. This is true,* Langfield is a good keeper. This is also true, in SPL terms.* We were wrong to get rid of Calderwood. We were wrong to appoint any manager and not backing him finically. * Top 6 is an achievement. Oh for a top 6 finish in the last 2 years * Winning one game in Europe was an achievment. Getting to last 32 ofUEFA cup IS a achivment for AFC. at present* The Queen of the South semi was not the worst result in the clubs history. We'd have beaten der bun in the final, that's for sure. * Zander Diamond should be club captain. He should have been instead of Kerr. * the 2007 / 2008 season was a success and not a total failure. 2 semi finals, last 32 of Europe, Finished 4th. Everyother team in SPL would be happy with that, would they not ? Link to comment
paulkaneatemyhamster Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Wouldn't say Folly has been awesome, but I'd like to see him along side Milsom in the middle. Keep Sidepass Bob, then ask again about Folly in a years time. Link to comment
