"red Revolution" - Lazy Journalism?

[Guest]

Every time a we employ a new manager, the press (local) and the club themselves, roll out this pathetic catchphrase - "Red Revolution". There's certainly been nothing revolutionary about any of our last half dozen managers. Evolution perhaps, but I guess that doesn't sound quite as catchy.

 

Any other completely lazy and irritating buzzwords that the press (mostly the Evening Express it must be said) use that bug the hell out of ya?

 

I can think of "fan's favourite" (often used for a player who is slightly less boring or crap than anyone else in the team)

"Brace" is another one... wtf? "Don's star player....' (hello, Lionel Messi is a star, Ronaldo is a star.... Chris Clark is NOT a star!!

 

And of course, the old favourite.... "transfer window slams shut".... ahhhhhHh!!

I long for the day when a Dons manager is handed a "war chest"

You're forgetting the old classics normally used around the time of a manager change;

 

"A New Don" , "Don of a New Era" and "Red Don".

Usually a striker in the Friday paper vowing to "shoot/gun down" the opposition. usually an off form one at that. Derek Young used to be the main man.

RED MIST DESCENDS OVER TWL

 

Tinyweelad saw red today in a move sure to shock Dons fans almost everywhere.

 

In a foul-mouthed rant over shooting down over-used cliches and poorly-moderated web chat forums, fan's favourite TWL went toe-to-toe with cult-hero The Boofon before deriding the place as

a feckin mad house

a comment that is sure to see him carpeted by the beaks at AFChat towers.

 

It would appear that TWL is looking for a safe pair of hands to usher in the Don of a New Era on web chat forum moderation.

 

For more on this story, don't pick up a copy of today's bumper edition of the EE.

Brilliant.

Sign of the times this one..... "dismal Dons".

It's all very well having a promotional campaign, but you don't start boasting about a 'Red Revolution' at the same time you're slashing the wage budget and reducing the quality of your product.

 

Red Revolution! Now With 50% Less Of Everything! Suck That, Fuckbrains!

 

The club, unfortunately, believes the fans to be thicker than shite.

it always raises a chuckle whenever the paper mentions a sex scandal as a "romp" surely it is only the tabloid press uses this term.

Doesnt seem to matter to the EE when the interview with what ever player went onto redtv to them its always

The Scottish Sun, June 1st

 

The EE, June 5th

 

It wasnt fucking today, it wasnt even fucking yesterday, it was almost a fucking week ago.

 

They've also been guilty of just rerunning a story within a couple of weeks during the summer when there is nowt else happening.

They ran a story in yesterday's paper, or perhaps the day before, and it was word for word what was in RedWeb and on RedTV.

 

Just thought of another one they love to use..... "ace".

 

Seen today's peace on Ryan Jack? "Jack played a pivotal role in Don's boss Derek McInnes' five games in charge where Aberdeen remained undefeated". Holy fcuk! Is that how we define success - remaining undefeated against bottom 6 pish?

Is that you picking on Chris Clark again ?
