AJF Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If Aberdeen fans are tired of the tackle being brought up every time we travel to Pittodrie to emphasise any rivalry, then you'd think Aberdeen fans would maybe, eh, stop bringing up and singing about the tackle to emphasis said rivalry every time we face them? You can't have it both ways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, if VAR was around back then, I imagine it would've been cleared up in seconds and Durrant would've got a retrospective ban. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because, surprisingly, rangers didn’t get a penalty for it. An educational course in sportsmanship would suffice for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 With McGrath now supposedly going to England, that’ll be three big transfer stories that Scott Burns has looked stupid over (McGrath to Aberdeen basically done, McGree to Celtic done, Souttar going to England). Doesn’t seem to be as ITK as previously thought. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the world does not work in isolation. The Simpson/Durrant incident is very (very) well known as an extremely emotive flash point and to use it as a headline is reckless. What's more the Daily Record knows this, it's intentionally trying to raise the heat in order to create clickbait and "anger porn", two sources of fuel for their revenue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I wonder if the physio hadn't carried him off like a D Day landing wounded, he might have gotten over it a bit quicker. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 It's still a huge tragedy that Durrant only won 10 (ten) trophies after Neil Simpsons career ender on him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not really a surprise since your username is made up of two players that played over 1000 matches for Oldco. We've seen a similar type of article from this rag, and others like it, nearly every time we've hosted a team from Govan for at least the last 25-30 years. As @Ricmentions, it's directed at a Sevco audience. A national newspaper is reviewing a Scottish League fixture like it's the good guys going to some Mafia-riddled backwater in the North Caucasus (no offence meant to the North Caucasus region just an example of how the Scottish (and indeed, British) football media has a tendency to portray 'foreign'). Besides, although Albertz admits in the article that his information is coming from biased source ("the Scottish boys") and admits that he "doesn't know if the rivalry was as bad before the tackle" ("the Scottish boys" have obviously provided him a one-sided perspective), the reader is invited to accept THAT (another irritation where they always describe it as thus) tackle was pretty much the foundation of the "hatred". Where's the balance? If it was a Gruesome Twosome match we'd get POV from both sides. Edited January 17, 2022 by Bogbrush1903 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu92 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Plot twist. In fairness the main article gets it right, but surely they could fit an extra 3 letters in there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say in itself the article is fine and Albertz is quite complimentary about Aberdeen and Scottish football in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
