I doubt if anything official will come out of west Brom, and anyway I suspect their fans will be after a more high-profile figure than McInnes. I have no doubt at all that he will never be sacked by Aberdeen....certainly not at this point....but he may feel himself that the time is right for a new challenge. It was on bbc gossip column thingy, the other was Tony Mowbray I agree he wont be sacked and nor should he, given the medicority of Aberdeen before him I wouldnt trust the current regime to get it right again, would cost a fortune as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see West Brom being the slightest bit interested in Deek. They’ll be looking at bigger names than him, and by that I mean the usual championship jobbers that do the rounds (McCarthy, Arry etc). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a more obvious and natural fit you’d think. Not sure if I was a WBA decision maker I’d be that popular if I appointed someone who’d just admitted to making a c**t of the last two transfer windows though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously their scouting isn't all that great, and they've got plenty of absolute dross in their squad. If a player happens to be half decent for them he'll stand out because their overall expectations are lower. By the way, Main is absolute shite. One semi-decent performance against the headless chickens in the Aberdeen defence doesn't suddenly make him a great find. 3 Have you seen Main more than once? I've watched him a few times and I think he is a very good player for the Scottish Premiership and an able replacement for Moult. Don't let disappointment make you plant ill-informed flags. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Well it seems as if McInnes is out of favour with our perma-crisis fans. What a fickle world football fans live in. I for one was completely underwhelmed by Saturday, but to suggest that McInnes can do no better is a bit of an overstatement. It says a lot about what Aberdeen under McInnes has achieved that we - as a fan base - can look at a season where we made it to a cup semi final and still be in the hunt for second in the league as a disappointing one. At the start of the season, I thought we had a stronger squad than last season, but not as good a first eleven. I still think that is true. I also think that keeping Shinnie, signing McKenna on a longer deal and even keeping McLean till the end of the season, showed a fair amount of ambition. I also thought getting May, Stewart, Tansey, McGinn and GMS were terrific pieces of business and I'd be surprised if there were many out there, that weren't as excited at me at the prospect of seeing them all play. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and they haven't played to the standards I believe they could, but I still have hope. If we pip HIVs and Buns for second, I'll still look at this season as a bit of a success. Finally as my final reflection on Saturday, Kevin Clancy can GTF. I'm not saying that 'Well didn't deserve to win and that Aberdeen weren't under par, but FFS Clancy get at least one of the first two important decisions right. Yours, bitter and twisted. aDONis P.S. Aberdeen fans congregate near the bath at the South Stand to discuss recent defeat. Edited April 16, 2018 by aDONisSheep 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clancy was in no position to see Tait's handball, but the official behind the goal should probably call it. Arnason just needs to be stronger at the second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aDONisSheep Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi Drewdon. Bowman definitely takes Arneson's left leg. Had it been the other way around, it's a penalty and Arneson would most likely have gone. It's most clear at 1.27 on BBC highlights. But it's nothing but sour grapes now. Yours aDONis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen fans congregate near the bath at the South Stand to discuss recent defeat. I do agree with everything you say. But it’s not with hindsight he should have addressed the Considine problem and had an adequate replacement at RB. Far too many attacking options signed, to the point that he still doesn’t know how to accommodate them and what his strongest XI is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours aDONis It was a foul, but Arnason made himself look like such a feckin pussy that it's hard to blame Clancy for not giving it. Like the rest of us, he was probably so stunned by the utter shitey ridiculousness of McKenna's 'clearance' that he was paralysed into not acting. For the first goal, Alan Muir behind the goal is actually staring at the handball from around 20 yards away. But because Clancy doesn't see it/give it, Muir is terrified to open his mouth and point out what obviously happened. It has echos of Celtic's non-penalty against ICT a few years back (not as bad, obviously). What it does prove is that having a 4th official behind the goal is utterly f*ckin pointless if they're too scared to open their mouths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betting competition Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 By the way, Main is absolute shite. One semi-decent performance against the headless chickens in the Aberdeen defence doesn't suddenly make him a great find. 16 appearances and 8 goals is a great return- was impressed how he destroyed Rangers. Think the Motherwell manager worked with him previously 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Aye to suggest Main is crap is stupid. In fact we should be tapping him up as we speak, before Motherwell continue their annoying habit of signing him on for a million years and selling him for more than we could pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A one trick pony who suits Motherwell's brand of hoofball. Never done anything at any other club and will be found out next season. If he's the type of player we have ambitions for at Pittodrie then we'd be as well packing it in now. Others may have different opinions though, that's fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherchance Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 We do need that kind of the striker in the squad. At times in this league we need to go direct, and any time we do that at present it comes straight back the other way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Random change of subject but are we still with Adidas for our strips next season?

As much loved at Pittodrie as Mark McGhee and Ian Durrant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact they’re now punting them for about 50p would suggest the blue kit will not be around much longer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
