tarapoa Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Three years out of date now - but the relentless seething anti-McInnes types on social media would appear to have these expectations of how we should be 'punching'. ps we finished second this season Edited December 8, 2020 by tarapoa 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Sad to hear about Willie Young and his diagnosis with Alzheimer's. I'm too young to remember him playing at Aberdeen but recall his Arsenal and Forest spells. My dad raved about him at Aberdeen. What a fucking shite disease, diagnosed last year apparently. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, it's quite poor from the SG if the communication is as bad as he's making out. I just always get the overriding feeling that he's playing to the gallery a bit and find it a little disingenuous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Grimes Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I don’t agree with the SG’s decisions on Football, it has been too harsh But the Club need to give it a fucking rest tbh They’re not going to change their minds because we keep moaning on Twitter, looking all a bit tedious now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Yeah, I don't disagree with the substance of much of what Cormack has been saying for the last few months, but he clearly has an ego the size of Jupiter (mind you, this isn't exactly uncommon among very rich people involved in professional sport). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'm with Cormack here (even if he does love the sound of his own voice). I'd like to see the science that the government is using that is so different to the evidence down south. Like so much of the Scottish government's rule on fighting the pandemic, it doesn't seem to make much sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently calling Cormack out on this shite makes us pitiful, and a disgrace. To be fair also though, as you say those with a brain are not letting the club off lightly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a JRG, no other industry has that, he is without doubt rabble rousing, hoping fans will get up their pitchforks, and they've sure rallied to the cause. All that'll do of course is be counterproductive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not, we just don't have a clown in charge, we have serious people, making better decisions. Look, there's a reason they site England, because most countries who were allowing fans back are now reversing that decision, they're just picking the worst case. Would you like the entire pandemic response to be run like Brazil's? It's also completely disingenuous, England are only allowing back in certain tiers, Scotland also allowing back at specific levels, so really we are doing the same. What Cormack should be doing, is banging Lumsden & Laing's heids igither, and telling them to start working in their pandemic response, instead of bleating that things are a bit hard for them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, it's only SNP ultras or at least closet ultras who've taken criticism of the rejection as a political attack on their party and truly thrown their toys out the pram. They number a few hundred at most. No one else gives a f**k and lots are supportive of the pressure and effort. The naesayers also never know what the hygiene and distancing measures at the events are and start saying things like how will they get there, they'll bunch up, what else will they do that day? The stupidity of the requirement to be in tier 1 for fans to be allowed is that far more things such as pubs indoors and outdoors are open which also leads to much more people shopping etc., therefore there's more stuff for them to do that day and many times more people will be on transport or in venues at the same time. There is in fact less transmission risk for fans to attend when less is open in higher tiers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a sensible discussion to be had about the merits/risk of fans returning to football in a controlled manner. It's Cormack's methods that are questionable, and he is undoubtedly trying to rabble rouse football fans. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
