Blues Brother Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) With McIness stagnating at Aberdeen and Coyle and Lomas nowhere to be seen. Question is ...How much compo did Saints get for these guys? Edited February 6, 2020 by Blues Brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm sure we got decent chunks for all three but couldn't put a figure on it. Not sure why Lomas has so dramatically disappeared from the game although I'd imagine a lot of us could speculate on a few reasons. I find Aberdeen fans' hatred of McInnes absolutely bizarre. When he took over they were finishing 8th and 9th every season. Since his first full season they've finished 3rd, then 2nd four seasons in a row, then 4th last season, and they'll probably get 3rd or 4th again this season. In that time he's also taken them to four finals (and won one). He also proved his commitment to them by turning down the Rangers job (a job pretty much everyone thought he would take). I struggle to see what it is that Aberdeen fans actually expect from a manager, if not that. Were it not for him I suspect it would be very easy for them to sink back towards being a regular bottom-six side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen fans still living in the 80s. blueheaven and double deluxe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Mciness getting destroyed on Aberdeen forum, *** this, *** that. Don't see him lasting much longer at Aberdeen. They also have absolutely zero respect for saints. They have only beat us twice in last 9 attempts at Pittodrie not to mention a Scottish cup semi at ibrox, the only time I have shed a tear at a football match. Aberdeen fans completely deluded lot, bunch of sheep all bleating from the same field. Johnny B and rickardo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it fair to say Tommy was 2-3 weeks (2-3 losses) away from losing his job at saints  earlier this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game will live longer in my psyche than anything, a moment where realise dreams do come true... in some ways even better than winning the cup.

Abernethy Saint Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 It’s been said many times on here, but the semi was better than the final. The final was torture. HOODLUM65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Ferg Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 The semi was torture for me, I was in Portugal. When we went a goal down I famously said "typical Saints" something my dad had said to me many, many times before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
