If Hibs win the league cup this season will you be saying it’s any less of an achievement because you didn’t beat the old firm en route? Will you f**k. Would Hearts winning the Scottish Cup last season on penalties have meant they’d be giving Hibs fans less shit over it as well? For all your ‘rollercoaster’ league performances Hibs have been scudded by the old firm as regularly as pretty much everyone else alongside it so f**k knows what that claim is about. Hes a simpleton. Thats the problem. He talks of bottle and yet supports a team who no matter what the circumstances are in comparison to their city rivals always f**k it up. A team who can hardly ever beat Aberdeen home or away. A team whose name has become an example of bottling it - Hibsed it. Hes a bad troll too. In summary - w****r. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something that you just know McInnes will never manage to do with Aberdeen. Personally, I'd rather take my chances with a manager who might get you some rollercoaster league finishes but will also take you to Hampden and give you a day in the sun you'll remember for the rest of your lives. McInnes' era has proved beyond doubt that "consistent" league finishes (on a massive budget comparative to the other non-OF teams and previous Aberdeen managers, so not particularly impressive) seem to matter f**k all in the pursuit of trophies. McInnes would probably have a few more trophies if our finals were against lower league sides to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says in my notes here that Aberdeen could've got to the final in the 2016 Scottish Cup and played a lower league side, but they instead decided to shit the bed against Robbie Neilson's Hearts at Tynecastle? The same Robbie Neilson's Hearts that Hibs beat in the next round? Gutted for you. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodhull Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 It's a pretty shit state of affairs to judge whether winning a trophy is only relevant if you beat the old firm on the way. That's the kind of shit patter you would expect off a Bennett or Romeo not a supporter of one of the other sides 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that Hughes and Stubbs' Scottish Cup wins were more impressive than McInnes winning a League Cup on the lottery of penalties, in part because Hughes and Stubbs (looked down on as managers by certain snobs in Scottish football) beat Old Firm sides en route to the trophy - something that McInnes hasn't done once and I can confidently state never will. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, the media rave about Hughes all the time, he’s basically the Scottish Allardyce in that respect even though he’s only really been successful at one club. Stubbs was not looked down upon at the time he won the cup at Hibs either as it was only after he failed badly at every job he had after Hibs and can’t find work as a result that people realised what a poor manager he really is. So ultimately no I agree that Mcinnes will never meet the completely made up in your own head conditions that you’ve set for him.

HibsFan Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Argue all you want, but here's the long and short of it, lads. When I was running around the Hampden pitch after seeing my side beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup final, there wasn't even the tiniest part of me going "god I'd trade it all in for a run of top four finishes and getting no further than the third qualifying round in Europe, all the while playing turgid football under Derek McInnes". If you'd make that trade, then you Aberdonians are even more dour than your reputation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be fair about this. @Jacksgranda seems very unhappy to discover Emperor McInnes isn't wearing any clothes. The St. Mirren side Aberdeen gubbed twice before he got sacked may genuinely be the worst Scottish top flight side I’ve ever seen in person. Very few St. Mirren fans seem to have anything good to say about him and the fact that they didn’t get relegated after he left and Rotherham despite being a yo-yo club since he left have not seen fit to sack another manager again after only two months says a lot and I doubt Rotherham had a snobbish attitude to him either.

Only the most miserable of football fans would pretend that finishing 3rd/4th, winning f**k all silverware and progressing no further than the Europa League third qualifying round is in any way exciting. A "shite" manager like John Hughes or Alan Stubbs is more likely to give fans lasting memories, because they actually have the bottle to win a cup and beat the Old Firm in the process. Deary me. Poor stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd make that trade, then you Aberdonians are even more dour than your reputation. Nobody would expect you not to be elated after winning your first Scottish cup in over 100 years. I’ve no idea how that would feel (but feel free to give me a shout in 2104 if Aberdeen still haven’t won it by then) but for what you’re saying to be true we’d have to pretend that getting relegated, failing to get promoted twice and then doing badly enough in the league that you go through managers at an average of about one every two seasons whilst having one of the 4/5 biggest budgets in the country isn’t a big deal. Winning a cup would be great but being an absolute disaster of a club for a decade doesn’t seem particularly acceptable under those circumstances either. Maybe some kind of middle ground perhaps but not that. Edited January 17, 2021 by Rodhull 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes me back to sitting on the Hook of Holland ferry after coming back from Gothenburg, a group of us drinking champagne and letting it all sink in. 10 days later we won our second Scottish cup in a row. The second of 6 Scottish cup wins that I've seen actually. Football's all about memories, eh ? I'm sure you enjoyed your one cup.

Also when you mentioned winning a cup on "the lottery of penalties" do penalties upset you? Maybe because youre derby rivals beat you on them this season. We beat you on them at Easter Road in the cup recently. Hamilton beat you on penalties to RELEGATE you a few years ago (what does that feel like by the way?) I see why penalties harm you. Bottle them every time. What a sad knob you are 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
