Bumped into Stephen Glass and his missus  on the Mither Tap this efterneen; Bennachie, nae the boozer. Stood and yapped for a good while.

Have to say, despite what we all knew about him being out of his depth, thoroughly decent bloke, and way too nice to be a football manager. 

Are you Tim nice but dim ?

That's lovely to hear. The players were gutted when he left, that and his interaction with a fan such as yourself after he's left the job, speaks volumes about the man. Sure he'll be back coaching at a good level before too long. Good luck to him!

Told me a few things, that I won’t be divulging with cunts like you. Let’s just say everything is not always as it seems.

He said he’s just waiting for his next job. I asked him if that would be stateside and he said, maybe, he’ll consider anything.

The Glass appointment was a disaster but somehow I can't really hold it against him.

He was in above his depth and didn't have good support in his coaching team imo.

Plus the scouting want in place.

It's on Cormack really.

Hacken 5-1 was one of the best dons games I’ve seen in recent years. Far and away the best glass memory, was the most excited about a dons team ever after that performance, genuinely thought we were onto something.

[Dave Bus]

He was in over his head but I like that he recognised and fully accepted that if results were poor and objectives failed that he wouldn’t be the manager anymore - was gracious. Do think he was thoroughly fucked over by refereeing decisions in his time as well to be fair to him, but aye was never going to work.

The modern game is a brutal place and 'nice guys' get eaten up alive, especially in management, when you're dealing with pampered, entitled, overpaid prima donnas. I think he may still make a good coach / assistant one day, like Eric Black did.

[huncunts]

He came across as a dweeb rather than a nice guy for all the time that we were shite, he was always shifting blame to the players.

Rather than explaining how he ever pieced together Declan Gallagher, Scott Brown and Jet to be a functioning football team. 

[JamieMT]

As the saying goes, you piss with the cock you've got.

Recruitment killed Glass, but in his defence Goodwin got no better out of the same players and while i appreciate last summers recruits were Glass signings, he didn't have the benefit of a DoF or HoR in place to assist him. 

And let's not forget there were plenty on here giddy over Gallagher, Brown & JET at the time.

Stephen Glass, 12 months down the line could be an entirely different proposition.

Haha aye but we fall into that trap every year

Well , under mcinnes at least when we were in Europe

I was so confident after that particular match I bet 3 of my celtic supporting pals that we would win the league

JET in particular looked like peak Zerouali

Come on now.

Hicham would have had those Swedish losers on toast. 10-1 at Pittodrie.

Haha true true

I just specifically remember watching that match, JET in particular and thinking WOW

But, alas, we did never learn as it was the same every year

JET played well at the start of the season when Glass played him up front alongside Ramirez. The two of them combined well. Then he started playing him wide, or standing about on the half way line miles away from Ramirez, and he looked like the fat puddin that he was.

Idiotic appointment from the off. Not a manager and he didn't disappoint with his lack of dignity and class.

Should have walked away after the Dundee at Dens "performance" and I use that word extremely loosely however he chose to stay, drag Aberdeen down and take a wage.

Good riddance - however good luck should he get back into football.

Still not quite sure why you hate him so much, seems a bit OTT. Did he do something to you years ago that's been allowed to fester?

I don't hate him. I don't rate him and thought he was an absolutely abhorrent appointment and he thereafter proceeded to prove my fears correct with his car crash tenure.

Not sure I would wish someone good luck if I "hated" him.

[BaaBaaRedSheep]

Another option at the time could have been "punt him to Memphis 901" who reckon that he is "world class" FFS.
