Come on lads.

Does it matter by which means someone started following the club? Especially if they're still supporting the club 20 years later.

Sometimes it's geography or historical family support

Sometimes family/friend connections

Sometimes being impressed by a particular team or player in the first instance.

Sometimes it's just liking a particular strip

Lots of reasons why someone might start following a particular club when they're young.

Deep but so true.

All those trophies. 'Glory' right there.

 

2 premier league titles, 3 Scottish cups, 2 league cups.  what more you wanting?  The Tennents fucking sixes?

Not during Porterfield's tenure we werent

 

 

Top 4 in the league and getting to cup finals.  Not as good as the years before or after but still up there.

I'm sure he was fully aware of those trophy wins when he was aged one or two.

You happy with McInnes record then?

Up until last season aye, reasonably satisfied.

 

Last season was utter shite and hopefully not indicative of a slide

How do you know how old he is like?

[Studebaker-90]

Way too far min.

It's surely 'up there' with porterfield though ?

Where did I claim otherwise?

 

You could argue the competition was much stronger back then though given Porterfield was up against the old firm and UEFA cup finalists the jutes

[DD1903]

How do you know how old he is like?

Well, being redforever, millertime and myself, I know a lot about a lot of things.

 

In all seriousness, MT has been quite open about a lot of things in this site over the several years I've read it. Some of it was lost when London Scottish took the huff, but it's all there to read. He's younger than me. But then many are.

 

@@Millertime will confirm. But I'm pretty certain he's under 35.

Might be wrong - if I am apologies - but I'm sure you've slated McInnes

 

The standard was better. It's all relative though. money hadn't created the massive gap that there is now.

Let's hope Greg Leigh doesn't log on to gauge what the fans think of him.

Slated him last season aye.  Rot had set in the season previous. 

 

Season before that though the best since 1992-93 imo

He'll discover pretty quickly that this thread is a microcosm of all other threads on here.   From Greg Leigh to how good a fan are you in 2 1/2 pages

I only properly got into football in 1996

 

So, swing and a miss to that one, try again

 

Unlike, ironically, the instigator of all of this who said his first game was a league winning one

[NEM]

Just apologise since you were wrong

 

What's hard about that?

You go first, on the stadium thread.  

[NEM]

What are you, 13?

 

You were wrong

 

Own it

 

 

If I was 13 and a blethering weegie idiot I'd just be getting into football.

23 years and still don't know the offside rule but you've managed to build a time machine to take you to/from games.

[Betty Swallicks]

Been away for a few days and I return to 3 pages of "we are welcome" and "we're not glory hunters" and "it was hard for us"  from the weegies.

You're obsessed mate. It's not healthy.

[redone]

The idea that any Dons fan’s a glory hunter is bizarre. Even though that was the only reason they started supporting us back in the glory days , if they’re still a red then they’ll have had to stick with us through a helluva lot more thin than thick.

 

And weegies are more than welcome to support us as far as I’m concerned. As long as they shut the fuck up.

[V for Vendetta]

I'm still reeling from the premise that only supporting a team because they are local makes you a better fan then someone who did something a bit more individual or single minded.

weegie chat.

[Betty Swallicks]

Not really

 

Just "perenially" putting some "die hard Aberdeen fans" @@the shepherd back In their boxes one by one

 

That is easier when you own a time machine.

Na, its only partially that, its just that weegies are not really that welcome.

 

Not sure how long that has been the case but they have never really been in the last 40 years.

 

Must be weird going to games and hearing derogatory songs and abuse towards yourselves from people around you.
