Predictions You Got Wrong!


Recommended Posts


FFS! Where do I start!

 

I get slaughtered on here for my prediction that Serbia would have a strong world cup in 2010. They finished rock bottom. In my defense, at the time, not many disagreed the arguments I put forward!

 

By hook, or by crook, I didn't think the establishment in Scotland would ever let Rangers Football Club die.

 

I'd seen Ricky Gillies playing for St. Mirren a couple of times. I thought he looked a class above. I thought he would provide the missing link between midfield and attack. Remember being genuinely excited when he signed.

 

Also, add me to the list of fans who thought McNamara would prove to be a very shrewd piece of business.

Was 100% sure McInnes was a cheap default same old same old shit option.

 

Delighted beyond compare to be wrong.

 

 

Was pretty sure that Pawlett - who I loved early on when he broke through - was just never going to make it due to both temperament (a dive AND a hack) and being made of balsa wood.

 

Delighted to appear to be wrong with him too.

Does anyone remember the old afc chat, we signed a boy from France, Fabiano? This poster was convinced he was going to be a footballing genius and was obsessed with him...

 

I remember thinking Mark Kerr could be a very good signing...by the end I hated him as much as he hated playing for us.

What predictions did you get horribly wrong.

 

I thought Ray MacKinnon would be a great signing for us.

Thought Scott Booth would be a better player than eion Jess.

We should have signed Campbell Money to replace Jim Leighton.

 

Aberdeen 3 QOS 0 - Thanks you tango cunt! Still angry.

I thought Bale would fail at Real, and the sale would be pale.

 

 

 

I also backed Scotland to win the first three qualifiers in the World Cup. Backed heavier each game because "we canna nae win again!"

 

 

Also backed us at Ibrox until the day they died. We were getting about 10 or 15 to 1 so I thought we were bound to win in the next 10 times we went down, and we were never going to be less than about 9/1. Fuck!

I remember thinking this too, but that was perhaps more down to my unwavering belief in Willie Miller's judgement and ability as a man and a manager. At the time I thought he could do no wrong, and indeed he'd started off reasonably promisingly as manager, so when he started implementing his wholesale squad changes around 1994 I still had the belief that he knew exactly what he was doing and the likes of Hetherston, Woodthorpe and Dodds would be brilliant signings. I did think McKinnon would be pick of the bunch but he really wasn't.
