Uncalled for. It was the guys at the railings that were right in front of me, as I was in the front row of the rear section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the stuff I see online is madness, I don't know where it's come from. There’s a guy who posts regularly on one of the Facebook groups, who bangs on about how he has been wanting to get rid of McInnes since they lost the Scottish Cup semi final against St Johnstone five years ago. There is no question that his previous connection with Rangers goes against him with quite a number of our fans and the absolute obsession with Rangers from a fair bit of our support, is an utter embarrassment. I hate them as much as anyone, but last night on a couple of occasions, the Ian Durrant song was given an airing. I mean, wtf? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a valid reason for the sheer hatred some absolute wallopers have for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I honestly cannot remember McInnes "flirting" with Rangers*. When did this take place? All I remember was Rangers* media machine stating they had him in the bag. Not a jot from McInnes himself. He was getting some abuse from the folk around me at the end last night including being called a *** c**t. Unless they meant me of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he definitely spoke to them and he was definitely considering it...and then he said no. The fact that this undoes everything he's done in 6 years for some people says more about them than it does him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't outplayed. The first half an hour was Hearts best spell, we got through it at 2-1 up and I felt we were better for the rest of the game. Yes we sat off in spells but we broke at pace with Hedges, Gallagher, Leigh and looked a proper threat. It was more than just pumping balls into the channel (although there was some of that). Eh? At what point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I think that some of the displeasure aimed at McInnes is that he seems to recruit players then regularly either fail to get anything like the best out of them ever or plays them in positions that don’t work and have us scratching our collective heads.Not time to panic but he does seem to be more and more tactically inflexible and determined to pick players that seem clearly out of form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Not that McInnes will be going anywhere but as much as i'm dreading going to Ibrox at the weekend, the idea of going there with something like Robson and Sheerin in charge would give me the serious fear. Nothing against them personally but I'm sure we got thumped at Tynecastle under similar circumstances when Mcghee(?) left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingswellsRed Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Is it just me who thinks we weren’t that bad last night? Certainly much better than previous away performances this season and to me we were the more likely team to score in the second half. If we play like that we will comfortably finish third this season. I realise that doesn’t really bring much excitement in itself so we really could do with doing something in the Scottish Cup. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
