Absolute gem of a man. Horrific left back. His time has been and gone but history will show he was one of the best players in the mcinnes 8 years and that was from left back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOW87 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Considine has spent much of his career being most folks third choice centre half and second choice left back, yet has still ended up making over 500 appearances. Even if we signed van Dijk and Tierney in the summer, he’d still end up making 30+ appearances next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illgresi Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 52 minutes ago, DrewDon said: That is extremely harsh. I would rather have Considine at centre-back than left-back now, and he was always offensively limited there with the ball at his feet, but I think he won our Player of the Year award from left-back twice. Granted, that is a bit of a popularity contest, but still hardly a sign of someone being "horrendous" or "horrific". I'm happy enough with Considine at centre-back now, but I only really came round to that opinion over the last two or three seasons. Previous to that, I thought he was better at left-back too. I lost count that season of the number of goals we conceded where he was the root cause. Either lack of pace, or a hospital ball to a teammate, or just plain not marking the right guy. Offered slim to nothing in attack, except shelling balls up the line for Hayes to chase. Him winning that poty award absolutely was a popularity contest 100%. And deservedly so because he's a glorious, wondrous lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having him coming in late from the left wing to attack the ball caused chaos as he was usually up against a small fullback. If he was a better header of the ball he'd have scored more. If he was a better header of the ball I'd probably have wanted him at CB all these years though. Anyway on Considine, thought this was a bit revealing. Doesn't want to criticise McInnes but also praising Glass. Cosgrove basically said the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the only one that doesn't make me feel like I've become measurably less intelligent by listening to him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Considine has been poor since he got into the Scotland squad, but hopefully performances will improve with new management team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I think some lads are at risk of breaking the golden unwritten rule of admitting big Andy is a bang average footballer. Let’s be honest, if you’re expecting him to be Max Lowe, you’ll be disappointed. If you expect him to be scott McKenna, you’ll be equally let down. What he offers is consistency of performance within his own limits. That sounds disparaging but it’s an underrated quality. Add that to the fact he’s an aberdonian and simply a cracking guy and he’s rightly a club legend. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterAFC Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Considine is the rarity of coming through at a club that is absolutely his level. Had he been at somebody like Saints he'd be held up as the next coming, if he'd been a Grimmer who went south ASAP he'd be a shrug/"oh yeah Doug's boy" or a "one that got away" Maloney. Never forget he broke his own leg trying to score https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aberdeen-win-is-marred-by-serious-injury-1511001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up to that point Considine had thought it was another Dundee player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 A new start today, dead exciting really! great to hear that the players are busting a gut in training for glass. Considines comments on co-comms were quite revealing earlier in the season saying he wished wed push on to win more, and almost criticising a defensive sub as it come on. hes one of us, and I fucking love it 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
