If you continue to talk as if this version is a continuation and not a tribute act then you're as brainwashed as that line their gullible muppet followers are being fed about '55' and all that guff. You mean most successful company in Europe? I could explain that i was euphoric last night and couldn't be bothered including suitable qualifiers, like "indisputable" or "unarguably". Or i could just say "shut up, i don't care" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or i could just say "shut up, i don't care" You don't care about Oldco cheating like f*ck financially for 20+ years and robbing The Dons of a considerable amount of silverware (given the amount of times we finished second) especially during the 1990s? You don't care about our club eventually sliding into mountainous debt that affected performance on the park and could, perhaps should, have cost us our Premier League status trying to compete with these cheats? You don't care that we haven't won the Scottish Cup since 1990 which is largely due to all the financial doping that took place in Scottish football during the 1990s and 2000s? If the old Glasgow Rangers hadn't died and written off their debts then there is not a hope in hell they would've made the 2022 Europa League Final because they wouldn't have been able to afford that level of player in such short a time since administration. The old club cheated its way to silverware and success and the new club are following suite, they may both played/play at the same stadium and have/had the same support but don't let that fool you into thinking that people who insist on drawing distinction between these two separate entities are being pernickety or tiresome.

I know they cheated I know they died It is a new club in most respects but the same club in other respects. Why can't you just enjoy their tears without the tedium of a ten year old debate? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will always annoy me that they cheated their way to trophy after trophy and the way their followers are just as if not even more irritating supporting their newco makes it even sweeter when they lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't you just enjoy their tears without the tedium of a ten year old debate? I did enjoy their tears in the end (although it was a stressful evening in truth), but I don't want anyone to forget that they escaped financial recompense by dying. Then they have the brass neck to reappear as a different entity, demand they get their league place back and bully the media or employ their 'agents' into making sure that they also play along with the myth that they're the same entity as the one that died. If I sound bitter then that's because I am. Many an enjoyable night and season was spoiled because they were playing a team and building a squad they couldn't afford by tax avoidance schemes. A double whammy! I hope their little brothers give them more to cry about on Saturday. F*ck Sevco and all who sail in her. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10menwent2mow Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Not commented on the McCrorie thing yet but I find it utterly bizarre how much some of our supporters are getting so uptight about it. The extent to which I've seen some of the rage on twitter is almost suggesting that we should pursue a Rangers esque signing policy of 35 years ago. We have had many Rangers and Celtic 'fans' play for us over the years. Does it make a difference to their commitment to Aberdeen when they cross the line to play, does it f**k. If anyone genuinely thinks McCrorie will shirk a challenge in a Rangers game, or has done in the past, they need their head looked at. Folk are slagging @RandomGuy.for his views on this, he's absolutely spot on. If we want 11 badge kissing Aberdonians in our team, we'll be miles worse off than we are now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve fallen into the classic RG trap of taking a few overreactions on twitter, extrapolating it and assuming that everyone wants ‘11 badge kissing aberdonians’. Im not raging about it but I think it’s poor from mccrorie if I’m absolutely honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
