Don't know what Aberdeen were doing that night but it was not football. Like all Aberdeen fans you don't have an inkling of what that is or sportsmanship for that matter. The spitting - kicking - punching off the ball. Simulating injury. Diving. Rotation of groups of individuals to pressurise the referee. Claiming for everything even something as blatant as the goalie kicking a clearance clean out of play. Then walking off the pitch job clapping each others backs and laughing at a good job done and you fans cheering them off in appreciation of their antics. The only club I know that is despised by all. Imagine supporting an entity ( which I would not dignify calling a football team ) That both sets of supporters at every ground in Scotland cheer together when they hear Aberdeen have lost no matter who they are playing. It takes something special over many years to achieve that not through football but what 11 individuals got up to in place of it. Done by antics on the park, achieved by coaching on the training pitch and dressing room instructions. Get a reality check ! you support a whinging cheats 11 not a football team. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that there are mass murderers who would escape with less vitriol from you after all that time.....[emoji16] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knee jerk reaction Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 To be honest, I'd take us destroying rangers/celtic over any other team (including dunfermline) it's not just football it's the horrible effect they've had on Scottish society for almost 150 years. To be fair though, during the worst of Hartley, I'd have taken getting into any other team's half! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Park Boy Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Interesting story in the FH today about the annual 5 a side tournament in 1961 at Brockville and the semi between Falkirk and Celtic. Ended in a bit of a rammy. I do vaguely remember it but the interesting bit is the involvement of Tommy Lowry, a superb lanky centre half. It also reminded me of our other NI players Vic McKinney and Sammy Wilson. All three were excellent players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep Celtic and Rangers and their sectarian baggage are worthy of derision and their poison that goes beyond football . You see it's a personal thing between Aberdeen Football Club and me. As I left Brockville that night 34 years ago I made an oath to myself that I would despise them with a passion and cheer on any team that plays them. I have stood by that oath for 34 years and have no intention of changing it now. So lets close the hate fest however well deserved for now regarding the whinging cheats 11 and move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Luvvies thread for this pish. Back to the real stuff; 83-82: 128 Appearances Patrick Cregg: dynamic terrier in midfield, neutered and chained by Yogi. 2005-2009. 8 goals. Tony Parks: UEFA Cup winning keeper. Big personality with madcap japes aplenty, but decent goalie. I didn't rate him as highly as some did but he did fine for us. 1992-1996. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
