Martin_T Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Not a bad season all things considered. With when measured on the 2019/20 (abysmal) to 1997/98 (Best I've seen) scale. -Won two matches in Europe -Used European money to make several important infrastructural Investments in our fully Uefa compliant stadium, that will generate additional income for the club for decades to come -Qualified for Europe in consecutive seasons for only the 3rd time this century (2002-4, 2010-12) -Top 4 finish -Finished above Hibs -Only 1 defeat (St Mirren) in the league to clubs out side of Glasgow at home. -All of the above with the spine of last year's team out long term injured. -Reduced Aberdeen from a club that used to sack managers for failing to challenge for the title, to one that is euphoric at finishing above a yo yo club, in a season when they got smacked 6-0 by Hibs, 5-0 by Hearts and Celtic , 4-0 by relegated Dundee United, and suffered the greatest Scottish Cup humiliation of all time live on national television, to a team hammered by Falkirk (!) in the next round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentGuerin Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 After a long-planned retirement from Tynecastle, at about 11am yesterday I shook hands on a 33% share in a season ticket for next season. 6 visits to the Tynecastle Arms a year sounds worth it. Anyway, that's the fitba finished and it's time for the cricket. Enjoy your summers, all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Objectively 4th is only a slight disappointment in that we had a brilliant chance to finish third and fucked it. Subjectively, the season was absolute shite bar some individual players and the odd great performance. The inability to get anything close to our best team out at any point was obviously no help, but Robbie persisting with that god awful 361 for months and the extremely pedestrian style mate it a chore to watch us. Big summer needed in terms of adding 4 to 5 key players to the squad and getting everyone fit over the close season. Must do everything to keep Gino as well. Looks increasingly like Naismith for the job, which I'm not against but it feels like a gamble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably a bit of recency bias, but I honestly believe the Neilson/ Snodgrass 3-6-1 team, in that period from February to April (Played 7, lost 6), is amongst the worst I've ever seen us play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that Aberdeen board and their devil-may-care, taking-action-before-it's-too-late approach to football management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
