TheRedPrawcess Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Would Greg Tansey's 9 appearances be enough for him to qualify for this team? Link to comment

I mind one game not long after that beckham label, we arrived for a 3pm Saturday game and he was just milling about in his dons tracksuit along the beachfront where we parked. About 14:30. Asked him why he wasn’t in the squad today. He didn’t know either. surprisingly bad attitude for a lightskin Link to comment

Equal in badness to Davidson, worse than McCall I'd say. Duncan Davidson once kicked his own foot whjile passing up a chance in front of goal. ? Still remember him pacing through on goal at the Beach End v Motherwell to finish off an 8-0 win in a midweek game. As for McCall, fond memory of him scoring a brace in a 2-0 win at Celtic, the big lanky, curly haired galoot. Link to comment

redone Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 A few other candidates Jamie Winter. Jim Hamilton.....fairly prolific scorer for just about every other Scottish team he played for.... but not for us James Wilson.... high profile and cost (by our standards) .... mimimal return on on our investment Ronnie Hernandez.....£800K .... a worryingly ineffective and incompetent debut and didn’t improve much after that Link to comment

Scored in a cup final, and even then it was a fucking shite effort. We were terrible in that final. However, the lasting memory was that Steve Ritchie mis-kick turning the Girvan Shitehouse in to a long armed primate at an Indonesian rehabilitation center. Making such an icon of the unwashed masses look so stupid in front of a massive TV audience keeps Ritchie well clear of any of my 'worst of' teams. Link to comment

Someone asked who made the comparisons and I said Charlie Allan, MT said Paterson. Don't think it could have been given he was managing Dufftown juniors at the time Smith and Masson were coming through. Maybe Payne. In reality, who care. I'm boring myself. Up ih Dons.

aberdeen1970 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I think Craig Broon might have been the man who made the comparisons re Smith and Masson with their more illustrious counterparts. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 McCall wasn't that bad, bizarre to think he was still in our squad when we faced Bayern in '83 (although he was sold IIRC to a Hong Kong side a few weeks later). I'm sure I once read that Fergie signed him because he was Dougie Bell's brother in law and Bell had asked Fergie if he could train with us in pre-season as a favour. Impressed so much that Fergie offered him a deal. If Tom Jones gets a mention, then so must Gary Hackett, signed that same summer by Porterfield. Steve Ritchie was an abomination of a player but the comedy goal in the Cup Final made up for a lot of his shortcomings. I'm going to throw in Gregg Watson. As a young loon he was touted as being the next Willie Miller. And so he was. That Willie Miller being the one that played right back for Hibs.... Link to comment

If he starts tomorrow then i am seriously going to start questioning Goodwin. Im near 50 and id turn in better performances. Link to comment

I remember he tried to do a step over one game and fell over the ball. Hopeless. Haven't seen anybody mention Miles Storey yet. Holder of the worst miss in AFC's history surely. Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 I'm demanding Paul Kane, fat necked and ugly and I got berated by both members of his fan club one game. Thinking of the midfielders of that era Craig Shitey Robertson. Ian Cameron Paul Kane, Jim Bett. Paul Mason, Van De Ven. Ten Cast, We had a vast array of ability Link to comment
YorkDon Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 McLennan is a puzzling one.Can only assume he gets a game as he’s the best of a bad bunch in training. Link to comment

Well, I suppose the continual mis-controlling , standing on the ball unintentionally and just knocking the ball straight out of play when trying to get past an opponent would affect his confidence after a while.

To come through at youth level , have multiple managers pick him, play for Scotland u21s ffs. I just want the mutha to do so well when he comes on but he’s just got to get his head right . He's got pace and occasional flashes of brilliance, he can in one moment take the ball down and spin on a six-pence and then blooter the ball out the park when trying to do a 5 yard pass. Was great his break-out season when he stepped in for an injured GMS, think it was the 18-19 season but he's never really kicked on since then Link to comment
