Will Warnock "Hibs it"?

Your obsession with Dundee is very weird.

Even some United fans don't care about us that much.

You said you haven't supported a team in years, but claim to have a soft spot for County and Kilmarnock because they were playing us.

Did Neil McCann pump your Ma?

She should be so lucky

So why has your team only managed 3 points out 9 this season against us ? , I think im correct in saying Aberdeen and Celtic are the only teams never to have been relegated ever ,Glasgow  Rangers having been relegated to division 4 all in one go , then became The Rangers , I’d say if Aberdeen don’t win either of the games against Dundee then I think they could up in the play offs , it would be great to see a “ new firm “ Dons Dabs derby in the play offs 

Rangers weren't relegated M8. They ceased to exist and a phoenix club replaced them.

Nope, Warnock won’t oversee an Aberdeen relegation. They’ll survive, Warnock will leave, and Cormack will make a statement along the lines of ‘we’ll take stock, take our time, and we’ll get the right person in to take the club forward’. Then, after all the applications come in, Cormack will make another statement along the lines of ‘the standard of applicant is testament to the attractiveness of the position, we will take our time, and, yadda, yadda’. Then Cormack will unveil their new boss with a smiling handshake photo, and a photo of the new boss holding the scarf aloft in front of the big stand at Pittodrie.

Then the new season will start and Aberdeen will simply be part of the pack that includes about eight or nine other teams. They’ll be every bit as capable of finishing 4th, or 10th, as any other diddy outfit. That’s because there’s fcuk-all between about eight or nine of us.

Then Cormack will sack the latest mug, and, well, you know.

Would Aberdeen going down be funnier than getting played off the park by Darvel?

 

Personally I think that they'll stay up and avoid the play off spot but Warnock will probably be gone by then.

Your insistence that there’s nothing between 10 teams in the league just doesn’t really hold up to much scrutiny to be honest. It’s close enough that there’s significant overlap between clubs floors and ceilings but your analysis to far too simplistic.

I would pmsl if he did relegate them but I don't think it will happen.

[johnnydun]

So much for the English thoughts of the Scottish League being 'so shite my Grandparents could compete'.

Well they sent their Granda' and he is fuckin shite.

GIRFUY.

I disagree. Going into next season, St Mirren could once more eye Top 6, or we could slip backwards to be involved in our normal bottom 6 relegation scrap. Motherwell and St Johnstone have been solid top flight teams, they’ve whiffed a lot this season. Hibs could do anything next season, again, 3rd to maybe 10th. Livingston have never really been relegation threatened fodder, until now.

I don’t think it’s simplistic at all. Take away the uglies, and probably Hearts, then put all the other team names in a hat. Pull them out at random, and it could easily be the final league table. In my opinion, obviously.

I'm torn on this because Alan Burrows is a good mate of mine, but then Neil Warnock is a patronising old dick and watching him go through the process of realising it is very funny.

Kilmarnock recently fucked #tb4 and left it as #tb3. Im all for Aberdeen now exiting and leaving Celtic and Motherwell as #tb2.

[RawB93]

If Nilwarnock goes down, I don’t think he’d ever come back up.

In the games we've lost this season only St Mirren (a 2-0 at home on 7 February) and the arse cheeks have won by more than a goal.

On the whole our games against the other 10 have normally been draws or decided by a single goal (19 out of 24 games) - any of the 10 can beat each other on their day.

A play-off between Aberdeen and Dundee United would be #boxofficecinch

My point exactly. We just went to Easter Road and pumped them 3-0. We just beat another ‘famous big club’ 2-1… and struggling Livvy just beat us 1-0, and we needed a late, late show to get a draw at struggling Ross County. There really isn’t much between most of us at all. Must grate, if you support a famous club. Well, one that used to be famous.

Almost as funny, but not quite, as the administration and eventual liquidation and death of Rangers Football Club

Yogi to take the reigns when Warnie gets punted?

I don’t think it’ll happen but Neil Warnock getting Aberdeen relegated would be one of the funniest non Rangers liquidation moments in Scottish football history.

Certainly up there with Oldco’s death, and Hearts easily securing the title at Dens Park that time.

Saying that st Mirren can finish top 6 or that anyone can beat anyone on their day doesn’t really prove your point though, does it? 

If you don’t believe a well run Aberdeen has a higher ceiling than st Mirren then I’m not sure what to say to be honest. Fact is we’re currently run appallingly and, like hearts and hibs, we can find ourselves in serious bother when we do, which is where we are. Thats a great strength of our league and wouldn’t have it any other way. But to say we’re all just a 10 team lottery isn’t right.

The results say otherwise.
