Aberdeen sack Derek McInnes

[Sheepo]

There is no argument Smith was the most successful Manager since Fergie won more trophies, had a genuine challenge for the title and on the main played superb football

The Alex Smith / Jocky Scott era was only 3 years.

 

Although many would file the 2nd place trophy alongside Jimmy's top six trophy it was a decent achievement to finish above the huns for a couple years

Aye.

 

McInnes could have equaled Smiths trophy haul in his first season if we didn't lose against St Johnstone in the SC semi final.

Was it?  They were a fucking shambles

[Pittodrie_Erupts]

Masking over the rumour that's going about this morning, that Killie is his last game win or lose.

Jack Ross on his way.

Think the bitterness is from doing a Mcinnes and not going at them on the final day albeit Hately nailing Watt didn’t help.

If only Theo was fit

[The Boofon]

If only Theo was fit

He was.

[NEM]

He was.

 

 

I'm maybe being whooshed cause you funcied him but he was out with a shoulder injury i think it was.

Nothing like that. Was always my understanding he’d recovered and was fit but bottled it the same as he did when Holland played Germany and he didn’t play due to nerves.

[Fridge]

Can’t fully remember. Mcoist broke his cheek but that couldn’t have been the same time? Unless that was the same time Hans scored a last minute winner when we won about 10 games on the spin?

 

Nae doubt somebody will remember.

[Guest milne_afc]

McCoist smashed his cheek in a 0-0, game should never have started. Boofon's at it. Andy Dibble was on loan during the cheekbone thing, then Theo came back before injuring himself again, against Hibs(?). Dibble had fucked off and the Dons were left with that dweeb Watt in goals for the biggest sliding doors moment in sports history.

[The Boofon]

Am I fuck at it. Snelders was fit. He shat it.

[Dom Sullivan]

Am I fuck at it. Snelders was fit. He shat it.

Yep, Theo's bottle dropped

[Ten Caat]

As far as I remember it he was out with a shoulder injury. There had been some rumours in the press that he might be fit for it but think that was Smith trying to ease the pressure on Watt in the days leading up to it.

 

What I did read was the the 2 Andy Gorams (he was still with Hibs at that point) said that in the summer of 88 when Snelders had only been with us a week or so.....the SFA organised a 2 day pre-season training camp for all the Premier League goalkeepers. Snelders apparently was a bag of nerves and looked utterly horrendous. Couldn't or wouldn't hold even the gentlest of shots/crosses....everything got parried or punched. Every other 'keeper left thinking that we had signed an utter haddie

[Poodler]

Maybe why he has new teeth

Alex Smith is a cunt.

[fine-n-dandy]

Yep, Theo's bottle dropped

Maybe that was part of his new contract 

[Red Ram]

See he picked up an easy 3 points but this time on his driving license and ended up with £200 fine rather than £100 fixed penalty because he's that busy he struggles to keep up with his post and didn't return letter

[aberdeen1970]

6 points. He'll have lost his licence by 7pm

[Jocky Balboa]

I've never heard that story about Theo, the official story was always that he was long-term injured. Whatever the truth, unfortunately the one man on there who was like a rabbit in headlights was Michael Watt (though that hateful Hun hobo Hateley could have got away with murder that day, courtesy of the usual Masonic refereeing). He was a promising keeper, but was sadly a pushover and never made the grade because of that.

[RUL]

Theo who was absolutely outstanding in cup finals ? Sounds like more made up shite.

[Jocky Balboa]

As for the "best since Fergie" horse shit, can we have an exorcism on that anytime soon?! The Smith/Scott era of 1988-91 saw us play some of the best football of our history (yes, including the Fergie era) while bringing through some top youth talent, against a Rangers team full of England internationals, a Dundee United side that was not long after the UEFA Cup final and a decent calibre of Edinburgh teams. Hell, even Willie Miller's first two seasons were visually fabulous at times, against far stronger competition than McInnes has ever faced (if not for the fact we faced a Rangers side who reached the late stages of the Champions League, Miller's reign would have yielded several trophies, maybe even a league title)

[RUL]

Agree, Miller should have won a league, very unfortunate as we were superb but chucked a few games. I am sure one of the seasons we had to play 44 league games or something stupid.

Milnes love-in with McInnes is cringey as fuck. 'Best since Fergie' my fuckin arse. Best since that wee gimp took the reigns, aye. Not saying much though is it?

[Simply Red]

Yeah Watt was a good young keeper. Not many keepers old/young wouldve fared any different up against that fucking cunt hately.

Ken - I’m nae buying that

Players at the time called Hately 'Stench' because of his chronic halitosis.

 

Manky hun cunt.

Certainly didn't have those ivories when he stayed in Garthdee
