OddJob Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Yeah as good a squad that McInnes has assembled, as said that 92/93 team would destroy them. Mason, Grant, Rico and Connor in midfield and With Shearer, Jess & Paatelainen upfront, oocha fucking beastie. Fucking travesty we never won the league with that team Link to comment
BWG Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'll put my tin hat on here and say that overall Rooney, May and Christie are actually a better attacking force than Dunc, Mixu and Jess. Jess would obviously still walk into our team like. Link to comment
RUL Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Crazy. Rooney better than shearer?? You serious? Link to comment
BWG Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Crazy. Rooney better than shearer?? You serious? I said overall. I think with the addition of May it'll lift us to a whole new level. I agree the 92-93 squad would batter the current team though. No question. Link to comment
StandFree1982 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Is jimmys top squad more comparable?I think the league in 92/93 and maybe even in jimmys days were a higher standard than is now.Jimmys top squad were a higher standard than what we have now!? Fuck off. Darren Mackie, Jamie Langfield, Duff, Youngs, Bebo, Kerr, McDonald to just name a few names off the top of my head. These aren't Calvin Zola types either, these were consistent starters. 2 Link to comment
Crossbow Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 May has the potential to be better than Mixu - Scott Wright perhaps as well - overall otherwise probably down a bit from the class of 92/3 but I'd not be astounded if todays team won the odd game (or the class of 92-93 went undefeated all season in the current setup) - football is a funny game - now class of 92/3 up against todays Tims would also be interesting - would again give it to the class of 92/3 but it'd be tighter than we'd like. We would outscore them and Theo would save more - still the best Dons keeper I've seen imho. Link to comment
Red Ram Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 It's great the way the current squad has appeared out of panic of few weeks back when Sunderland were after Derek, Hayes had gone etc. and looking back at decent squad of early 90s. Reminder of fact of how spoilt we were as fans back then when many used to criticise guys like Brian Grant and Bobby Connor and the Red Final /Northen Light ran Bobbys Blouse cartoons Link to comment
Mr John Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Wait, if the team of 1992, at that age, played today's team - would they play current passback/offside rules, or 1992? Maybe a half of each? And can the entire crowd be unicorns, just while we're making shit up? Link to comment

And can the entire crowd be unicorns, just while we're making shit up? Apart from throw ins, it was the same rule in 1992. Not that the team of 1992 or today would ever consider passing backwards.

ericblack4boss Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 i never saw Mason play a negative , backwward pass always get it forward, anyway just as a comparison id love to see OUR current squad rip the Celtic tem of that year anew arsehole/ Bonner, Marshall. McNally , boyd, Gillespie, Mowbray, O Neil, wdowcyk, McStay, collins, Payton, Slater, Grant, Vata, Galloway, Fulton Miler, Coyne, Nicholas, Creaney, Hayes, only players id rate from that squad. Tom Boyd, John Collins , Tommy Coyne, and charlie Nicholas, recall how shite Payton Slater and Hayes were indeed did martin Hayes not once get " accidentally " locked in a teammates car and miss training, and no one noticed he wasnt there. our current lot would handle that side, Link to comment
Dal Riata Don Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 As Marshall is our current goal keeping coach there could be some Back to the Future type kerfuffle when old Gordon goes back to tell young Gordon what's gon on and when we get tae noo Trump is the president. 3 Link to comment

boboisared Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Imagine Big Dunc in his prime putting his foot through the floater type footballs we use today? He'd destroy the cunt. Link to comment
Mr John Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Imagine Big Dunc in his prime putting his foot through the floater type footballs we use today? He'd destroy the cunt. I dunno, we got a new mitre for sixes recently which was like heading cement. If any of you play with yer mates, I can recommend never getting this bastard ball unless you want to give the opposition brain damage: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OMS3PNU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I've just noticed the word "Boom" subliminally appears in the URL too, which is funny, because that's the noise my brain cells made when I cleared the ball, Ash Taylor-esque from our end last Tuesday.

alscotoz Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Wowow Yeah. Shearer v Rooney. Apart from the fact they are both gingers, that's where the similarities end. Link to comment
Byrne Baby Byrne Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Late to the thread but I would say it's easy to forget how poor that standard of Scottish football overall has become in the last 7 or 8 years. You only need to look at the fact we haven't even got to the end of August in our last 4 European campaigns to see this. The 92-93 team would likely wipe the floor with the current team... even in their 40s and 50s Link to comment

OddJob Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 For everybody wanking over Connor he was fuckin hated at the time if memory serves. There's always players that some fans don't warm to and Connor was probably one of them but I always rated him. Beautiful moustache too Link to comment

muttonhumper Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I was at the star jump celebration game. Pumped the Tims 3 zip in their own grotty backyard. Large terraced stand with Dons young and old tumbling down the front in an absolute frenzy trying to get a touch on that wonderful moustache. I even remember what I was wearing. Sunhat, baggy purple hooded top, huge flares and a pair of Etonic trainers. It was my tried and tested going out kit in the #Summer of love. #1990 Was in the main stand wi a tim that day.See me jumping up on the behind goal camera (looking back towards main stand) at 2 of the goals a think. What a fucking hoot. Edit: 3rd een at 4.53.White T-shirt up like a rocket, just inside the post. Had a nice sarcastic round of applause for Charlie Nic when he came off too.Think that may have been why he was scowling in the YouTube preview. Link to comment
shut up meg Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Connor was tidy on the left, but nae spectacular. He was a great player, would walk into the present team. Link to comment
