If that season had been suspended on the 23rd March we would have still had the two games at Parkhead to play and Celtic still had to go to relegation threatened Dundee where they would lose 5-1. To be fair, it would have seemed like divine intervention when McGhee was in charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine how much seeing him make an arsehole of himself as a manager must have hurt the fans that watched him as a player I said that a few weeks ago when I was passing the time watching games from the 80's. McGhee was absolutely superb in pretty much every big game we played.....he could hold the ball, win headers, beat players, set up chances,score with both feet. He was almost impossible for defences to knock off the ball and he was the catalyst to damn near every goal that we scored. I was there in the 80's and I must admit I hadn't realised how vital a player McGhee was to that succesful Dons team. Thinking back though, he was never a particularly likeable player...I doubt if any Dons fan had him as 'their favourite player'. I suspect he was always a khqunt. It's just that it didn't come out much in these years....he fine tuned it as a manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naegoodinthedark Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Need to see better quality pics, but both of those kits look dreadful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Going by those photos, the sponsor doesn't work for me on the away effort - looks like it's been patched on. Shame, as it is close to being a nice kit, but that really detracts from it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodhull Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Like the design of the away kit but the sponsor panel ruins the effect a bit. Home kit looks fairly plain but might look nicer in better quality pics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Think both are ok, we’ve certainly had better efforts over the years though Quite like the home, not sure why it’s getting panned 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yeah they're fine. I don't like the collar of the home one particularly but fairly decent. I like the away one too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I'm always sceptical about these non official "launches". A couple of things here. McGinn's hair is different in the home and away photos. And there is normally at least a month between the sight of the home and away strips. But if they are genuine, they're ok at first sight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckenna does look like he's suffering from not having had a haircut due to lockdown in both though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only part I would disagree with is that I did very much think that Dingus was a hugely important part of that team. His ability to get the ball to foot and run at defenders was immense. The only issue I remember him suffering from was that his runs were so mazey at times that he had this ability to not only tie defenders up in knots but also himself at times. All of this of course as many other have said makes his attitude towards everything AFC since all the more painful to take Edited May 23, 2020 by Sheep62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aDONisSheep Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Both kits are just not quite right for my tastes (and I bought last seasons away kit)! I don't like funny necks, they can be crew, v or collared, but the home one feels like a mix. The away one, is very close to being my favourite one since the black and yellow , or Zeroali white and red one, but... the sponsors patch looks like an afterthought, and it just grates on me a bit. Still a lot better than that light blue effort we had EUUUCHH! Yours, polyester aficianado aDONis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The away strip looks like a fag packet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
