Tord31 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 WE ARE BACK.....85 Points has to be the target this season. It is an ambitious target but one which would give any team a shout at winning their respective league championships. Aberdeen finished on 68 points in Derek McInnes first full season and 75 points last season (the highest ever points total by a non Old Firm side). 85 points obviously an average of above 2 points per game - so we need to be maintain our consistency and bring our A game against Celtic. The bulk of the extra 10 points need to come against Celtic. No non Old Firm team have won the league since 1985 so lets not be shouting from the rooftops we are going to win the league but again break down the 85 point target into manageable chunks. Four 'quarters' to the season being three rounds of 11 games and then the 5 post split fixtures. How did we get on last season First Round of 11 games: 19/33 points. 4 points behind leadSecond Round of 11 games: 28/33 points. 4 points behind leadThird Round of 11 games: 24/33 points. 8 points behind leadPost Split 5 - 4/15 points - Total Points 75/114 17 points behind lead A suggested target to achieve 85 points is 25 points from each round of 11 games and then going undefeated in the post split fixtures to achieve at least 10 points. Last season it was a side target but this season it is of huge importance to be at least neutral in the head to head versus Celtic. First 11 Matches - TARGET - 8 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses - 25 points United (A)Killie (H)Hamilton (H)Motherwell (A)Dundee (H)Partick (A)Celtic (H) - MUST NOT BE DEFEATEDHearts (A)Caley (A)St Johnstone (H)County (A) Again rather than attribute the points to individual matches lets just try and go out and win as many matches as possible and see where it takes us rather than getting too down when we 'drop' points. However you can't help look at the list and think the 8 wins is quite a realistic target for the team at the moment for these first round of games. Fingers crossed we can be ahead of the game after the first 'quarter'. I will update this thread as we move through the season. I believe 85 points is achievable and if we can get the better of Celtic and start to truly believe that it is possible then we will do it just like 1985 - Aberdeen FC, Scottish Champions. THIS TIME.....FUCKING COME ON YOU REDS!!!!! 2 Link to comment
BWG Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think part of the target needs to be 6 points from Celtic. We can't allow them take 12 from us again this season. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The referee and linesmen will ensure we don't beat Celtic again this season. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Might benefit us if the tims do get in the champions league...very much doubt they will, but it would distract them. Link to comment
reekie_dock Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 We will take points off them this season, shinnie will see to brown. Jack will get first hand viewing oh how a captain should be conducting himself against the bead rattlers Link to comment
RAZOR Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas!!! Mon ih Tord. Bring this motherfucking title home!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Give it a rest.I take it you were happy with the referees decision to not just give one blatantly incorrect corner, but TWO within the space of a few minutes which led to their winner at Pittodrie? A game which I felt shaped the way the league went. We should have defended it better, but we should never have been in a position to defend it in the first place. Link to comment

AFCaketin Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Aberdeen +20 points @9/1 on bet fair Nae worth it. Caley won the handicap bet last year if I remember correctly. Then it was either us or Hamilton second. Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I predict 27 points from our next 9 games & another 8 clean sheets (penalty for Celtic ruining the clean sweep). Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 I only realised today the Celtic game is after the international break. Bit of a shame as it would have been better sandwiched between two European ties. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Have you factored in the humping at Tynecastle Tord? Link to comment
Tord31 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Our luck has to turn against Hearts at some point - hopefully we get the better of them this season. I think they'll be one of the teams that don't park the bus against us so at least there is that. Link to comment

Foster14 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 First 3 times I went to Tynecastle we won (2-1,1-0 and 3-0). Been a bit downhill since then... Link to comment
RUL Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I can't place where this poor record at Hearts started, I do recall even under Smith when we were doing shite and hearts were top or second that we went down there and pumped them 4-0. Jess scored a wonder goal and in all honesty 8-0 would have been a fairer reflection. Link to comment

Foster14 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 You done extremly well given those results came years apart. In fact, we had a different manager in each of them. No we didn't. Calderwood for the 2-1 (Pressley own goal and Clark, Snoyl's debut) and Calderwood for the 1-0 (Lovell). Then McGhee for the 3-0 (Lee Miller's last game). I think it is maybe 13-0 for the 4 games I've been since then... Link to comment

Completely forgot about the 2006 game. My apologies. Link to comment
RUL Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Have we not always struggled against them, even in the 80s? I don't think we did, certainly we beat them regularly in the 80's, even further forward in the 90's in the "never again" season we beat them 2-1 at Tynecastle with a Dodds double. I think we had a great record agianst Hearts until it all went shit sometimes in the late 90's. We even fucked up relegating the cunts a few years ago. Link to comment

CalgaryDon Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Since Jim Jeffries took over our record there has been abysmal. I think you'll see that change under DM. Link to comment
