Good times. Amazed he was allowed to take you into the league cup groups. We have a long tradition of not giving a toss about the league cup letting Cathro handle it is very much in that tradition Edited January 16, 2023 by topcat(The most tip top) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Halliday there instead then yes, huge loss. I think Sibbick will be making way for Kingsley if he's back. If Cochrane doesn't make it it'll probably be Halliday (provided he's fit). Neilson loves Halliday and seems to prefer Kingsley in the three and I'm not sure he's even played the latter at wing-back before. I also suspect it'll be Kingsley in the middle and Rowles on the left, which seems like a waste of Kingsley, although I think his aerial stats are better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 1963 hearts have won 3 major trophies. 3 major trophies in 60 years As i originally posted Hope this helps. Whataboutery doesnt save you from the fact that 1963-1998 Hearts won nothing Relegated 5 times in that period though!

Relegations 5 Major trophies 3 - Hearts (1963-2023) The mental gymnastics of a bitter codheid. We have won three Scottish Cups in 25 years. Not a great record, by any means… but what have Aberdeen won in that same 25 year time period?

Come on now, don't put your club down like that. Even someone stuck in 1980s remembers that Hearts have also bagged a couple of second tier championships in that 25 year time frame... it's been one of the most successful 25 year periods in your club's history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weve won a trophy more recently than Hearts! I was nice and chose to ignore 2 of those 3 cups came during a sevco esque spending money you didnt have period. Enough to almost go bust. 1 legitimate trophy since 1963! We have 16 in that time period by the way and ZERO relegations ever. The fact you've finished top 3 in the top flight back to back only once in 60 years should be another clue that you are not and have never been "third force" Edited January 17, 2023 by afc_blockhead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Can’t agree with my fellow dons fans. 3 trophies and extended periods of top flight football in 25 years is excellent for a club like hearts. No league titles and two trophies in 28 years is laughable for a club like Aberdeen. We just need to take our medicine here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
