Yep, Aberdeen seem to have seasons like this over the years when they sink right down. I am confident that they will be in bottom six this season - McInnes has gone stale with them, watch the fans turn on him. Enjoying this result, thinking back to 2004 at Ibrox when we last trounced them 5-0. A good evening then, and a better one today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They competed for the same objective. Again in the early 90s they put up a decent fight of it as the last vestiges of Fergies squad hung around, but as they retired and Aberdeen returned to their pre fergie days they lost all credibility While we were hamstrung and illegally cast down the leagues, McInnes managed to turn them into the second best team in Scotland again, which is why he has been so revered. Second best is their champions league. Apart from those three periods we are not on the same sporting level as Aberdeen. They are a provincial club who, because of a short period in the 80s where they got a sense of what it must feel like to be Rangers all the time, grew a hatred for us. Now they try to hang on to that 40 year old rivalry by acting like the dregs of humanity. Their goal in football is to beat us. Their sporting objective is to be above Rangers and to hell with trophies. I can’t really bring myself to consider that a rivalry. It’s pathetic and mildly irritating. I feel a little sad for them.

The effect Gerrard has had on him is brilliant. Ive always liked him and stuck up for him. Now i feel like there is no need to stick up for him Spot on. Not been a big Ryan Jack fan...until this season. Our most improved player so far this season in my opinion. The step up in him has been staggering. Discipline seems to be there now and he covers every blade of grass and always wants to get on the ball. His fitness and desire cannot be questioned right now. One name that’s a definite starter on the team sheet based on current form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been an irrelevance for 30 0dd years I remember when Aberdeen, Dundee Utd and Hearts used to be big games. Particular time Aberdeen and Utd had decent sides in late 80s and 90s. Agree Aberdeen are not football rivals now really but in honesty I think most of it comes from their fans and the Ian Durrant tackle.....there is bitterness and hatred over that.

Months leading up to him signing for us he was a fantastic player, key to their "success" and they needed to hold on to him. Within 24 hours of signing for us he was shite, of no importance to them, overrated and they would become a better team without him. This was the same posters posting both views. Absolutely hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
