Stichman Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 So will I chimp, but we're playing Partick...Haha. Apologies. All these "icks" eh? Icky bastards.The PARTICK game has been rearranged for the 22nd, evening kick-off. Which means I'm going to get stabbed walking through Maryhill on the way home. Magic.

calum Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Newcastle fans are going to have to stop supporting England under Capello. Him and his ridiculous emphasis on so-called "results" instead of attacking football.I don't like Newcastle. Or Hibs. Or any other pretentious/deluded teams.

Sam 45 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Did we seriosuly get 200,000 for Chris Clark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 If Clark is worth 200k with 6 months to go on his contract, Caley should hold out for 3 million for John Rankin.How come Hibs get totally inflated fees for average players?? Kevin Thomson = 2million, Whittaker = 2million, Murphy = 2.5 million!!?!Our biggest sales have been 50,000 for Barry Robson (who's now worth 2million apparently) and 100,000 for Mark Brown.

calum Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 It's all about the level of hype attached to players from certain teams, in particular Hibs, by the media. It's in this way that Andy Walker & co. actually manage to hurt Aberdeen financially Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murrr Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Very one-sided arguement tbh, focusing on all of the negatives and none of the positives... no mention of the fact that he took us from the brink of the old Third Division to second in the Premiership . Yeah, I'm not living in the past...I do have a couple of reservations (given his tactical mongness and temperament) but I can't but be really excited at the moment. He'll get more time than Sam as he is Mike's appointment and very popular with the fans, and he'll at least play the players in their right bloody positions. I'm a big fan of Sam Allardyce and if he was given time I do think he'd have been a success, but he played players in stupid positions (Zog at fullback when we've got a 6.5m LB sitting on the bench, Oba on the wing, Smith in midfield, Milner on the left) and tried to get us playing a formation that we clearly lacked the players for. He was far too slow to react to what he was doing wrong, which I'm very surprised by because I do think he's a terrific manager.Keegan will galvanise us in the short term, no doubt about that... hopefully he'll have the presence of mind to bring in a creative midfielder, a right winger and a couple of defenders, then we should be able to make a decent push for a top 10 finish. The style of player doesn't bother me too much, I'd rather play boring winning football than sexy losing football (the whole "Newcastle would rather lose 5-4 than win 1-0" thing is bullshit btw) BUT I am looking forward to hopefully seeing a bit of invention from our players once again.'Mon the KK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I don't like Newcastle. Or Hibs. Or any other pretentious/deluded teams.Don't forget Ross County, sacking their manager while top of the league because he wasn't playing their "traditional style of attractive football" lol.

Bigsby Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 then we should be able to make a decent push for a top 10 finish. Having sacked Allardyce while 11th!Good luck to KK though, I have a soft spot for Newcastle, Keegan always comes across as a genuinely nice bloke and it's always good to have "characters" in the game instead of boring McClaren/Roeder types.
