Daisy1903 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Can't see the farmers paying him more than our offer. Was also pretty much guaranteed a coaching job and his badges with the team he loved once he retired. Doubt he'll make any bigger mistakes in life than turning down that contract 1 Link to comment

Doubt he'll make any bigger mistakes in life than turning down that contract Too simplistic to say that If our offer was 1 year at £100k as has been said on here..........he might view say 2 years at £75k with St J a better overall deal. Particularly as with us he was only going to be back-up. He'll have more chance of picking up appearance/win (haha maybe not) bonuses in Perth too No matter what he's gone. Was a great servant to AFC and we were good for him in equal measure. There should be no acrimony from our support about his decision. 3 Link to comment

He could have been on a wee earner all his life from the club coaching young age groups and doing entertaining in hospitality on match-days or commentary on redtv. It could have been even better than that and he managed to work his way in to coaching on the full time side. Now he's earning most likely a bit under £100k per year and having to commute to Perth four or five times per week. Shite. 4 Link to comment

Like I said it was confirmed we'd pay for his badges and he'd receive a pathway into coaching with us, ONCE retired. Just cause he was only offered a 1 year contract doesn't mean we wouldn't offer him another the following year if he proved he could still hack it. Long term he'd have made more money playing with us, guaranteed career progression, plenty hospitality gigs and wouldn't have tarnished a reputation that he spent years building 1 Link to comment

They clearly severely misread the situation as to the extent of shake up Goodwin wanted to go for. Then to spill the beans to Scott Burns the same day has obviously massively pissed off Cormack and Goodwin which will take at least a couple of years to be forgotten about. Link to comment
Broken_Glass Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hugely overrated player by a cross section of our fans. He's finally left - no loss and another decision that Goodwin got correct. 1 Link to comment

The Lighthouse Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I always considered him to be a liability when he was young but over the last 5-10 years he progressed and was a good player for the most part - committed and determined. I was pleased that he managed to get into the Scotland squad so late in his career (despite" yes sir I can boogie"...). I would hope that he is given a good reception whenever he returns to Pittodrie by the club and fans. Link to comment
Simply Red Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 ^sure he will. You’d have to be a fucking mongoloid to do otherwise Link to comment
red kelly Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 considine?average is a tad harsh, yes average as a defender you could possibly argue, however he nudges over the average threshold for all of his goals and some important ones at that. what he lacked in pace was made up by his footballing brain. fairly consistent IMO. not that i care too much tbf. get out of the league now. 1 Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 A defence full of Considine’s who actually give a shit about the club would have been a vast improvement on the pile of shit we’ve ended up with this season 3 Link to comment
sooth_stander Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Nothwithstanding the rights and wrongs of how he left, something tells me he’ll be back next season, some kind of coaching role. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Considine got a good career out of Aberdeen. The fact we're still talking about him says more about our current predicament than his ability as a footballer. Link to comment
