The nine years of pain ,just seemed worth it ,at those historic moments . It almost makes you think ,maybe last 4 years weren't so long . Lets hope we have something similar in the Summer of 2017 Pittodrie and the invasion was incredible, plus thousands in the city travelled without tickets, we ended up getting a police escort out of stonehaven after a stop off for some booze and a good old dust up with the locals, oh to be young lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 14,582 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 On 9 May 2016 at 3:07 PM, WadeWilson said: Just no. 'Another young and exciting management team?' Souness was 33. Warburton is 53. Plus Souness was a genuine bona fide legend of world football. We poached him from Sampdoria. Warburton was released by Brentford. The players we are signing these days can't really be compared to the English internationals we were signing in the late 80s... And not just any old internationals either; most were genuine England legends who played in multi World Cups, smattered with some international captains. Terry Butcher, Ray Wilkins, Trevor Francis, Chris Woods, Graham Roberts, Gary Stevens, Trevor Steven. Then the second tier of guys from the English leagues who were more than capable of doing a job up here: Mark Walters, Kevin Drinkell, Mel Sterland, Terry Hurlock, Dale Gordon, Mark Falco, Nigel Spackman. Even Chris Vinnicombe, Jimmy Phillips and John McGregor are streets ahead of what we currently import from down south... And Waghorn is a poor man's Colin West. I think it's more about the buzz rather than the personnel. But I know what you are getting at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been very successful in the early 80's our return to form knocked them off their perch forever! Winning the title against them in 1991 with a patched up side of walking wounded probably didn't help either!!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My late old man always used to rant that the dislike between us and the sheep went way back to the time of Willie Woodburn being banned something to do with the Aberdeen chairman casting the vote that got WW banned.Not 100% sure but he believed the full story was quoted in a book by ex sfa chief exec Sir George Graham.

Oh I'm sure the dislike went back a lot longer but the success we had on the back of Aberdeen's very short period of 'dominance' must have really hurt them a lot too. No one will forget the look on Neil Simpson's face when he butchered Durrant. Shocking! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxterboy 476 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The difference is in the nature of the change. (btw i'd call it the David Holmes era rather than the Souness era) 1986 came like a F-5 tornado suddenly ripping through the football world. You'd wake up daily reading the news in total disbelief about our team and its acquisitions. Warburton's era started like a small storm in the south Atlantic which slowly turned into a hurricane.
