The Famous Aberdeen - Season 2022/23

FFS guys/ladies, we haven’t even kicked a ball in anger and you’re already looking for failure?

COYR, at least one cup, European groups and a serious league challenge incoming

Fucking hell. Been away this weekend and logged on for the first time in a few days to see four pages to catch up on. Assumed there was some transfer gossip. Nope, just the not obsessed Random guy taking several shots at McInnes.

RG is in desperate need of a ride.

Not at all, I think the squad is shaping up quite well, just a little concerned Thursday might come a bit too soon for us.

Know what you mean, but would hope we’d still have enough. For instance, I’d have no qualms having Deano and Ferguson starting in the middle if required.

Always into the unknown in the early rounds in Europe so you won’t be alone with the nervousness.

No I do agree he is still a threat and causes problems, just isn’t the same goal threat

McGinn was on good scoring form between the winter break and his injury last season - including three in the Scottish Cup (notably the Ibrox win) and one for his country.

If we can keep him fit, he'll be an important player.  He is also very good at protecting the full-backs - really hard worker, which sometimes goes unnoticed due to his hangdog demeanour at times.

The relationship between McGinn and the Aberdeen support has always been a weird one.

There’s a section of the support that cannot wait to jump down his throat when he is perceived to be not trying or having a shite game.

He’s a classy player but inconsistent, always has been. Classic cliche but if McGinn consistently played at his potential he’d be nowhere near us.

However, I think he is slowing down and injuries are becoming more frequent so id be reluctant to be too reliant on him this season.

"Today's mascot is RussellAnderson, he's 25 years old from Peterculter and his favourite player is Niall McGinn!"

I adore him. I've said it before, but no player has scored as many *good* goals as him in my time supporting Aberdeen. He was also the first player I can remember who didn't f**k off after his first good season. I can still remember when he signed that 4 year deal after his first season, it was off the back of Fraser and I was convinced he was away. Leeds were interested IIRC. He stayed, and he became an Aberdeen hero. If he wins another trophy, he's a legend.

Totally agree Russell.

Some people have never been able to get past his Celtic connections though.

I genuinely heard that he likes to steal girls’ socks after he’s banged them.

It sounds totally made up but someone told me that with a straight face.

Craig Brown, of all people, had been quoted that McGinn's flat in Torremolinos Kepplestone, may as well have had a turnstile on the door.

Not sure about the sock thing, and presumably he'd ideally be looking for top of the range lingerie in his conquests,  but he's a relatively young bloke, footloose and fancy free - so good luck to him.

I love Niall McGinn, he can look as disinterested as he wants, he is still one of the most talented footballers we have had in my lifetime. 

If I could pick one player out of our squad o be on the end of a half chance or to deliver a dead ball it would be Niall. I am also strongly of the opinion that without him and his goals in season 2012/13 then we would have been right in a relegation dogfight that I am not convinced we would have come out of...
