Nice. How high is his potential do you think? Would he be able to manage clubs like Newcastle for example?

[VendettaRed07]

Id love to give it a go and try to do a jay level analysis but I've already put off my finals essays long enough. I'll try to the first time I have some free time this week

Hamilton 10-2 Morton.

[VendettaRed07]

Lol.. How Morton managed to beat Celtic earlier this year I'll never know

[VendettaRed07]

RG, I have thought it over quite a bit on McInnes and how he may translate to other clubs in the EPL, what his ceiling is.. And I have come to the very lame conclusion that its too early to reach one.

Next season, we'll have a better idea. Finishing top three and likely second place, Aberdeen will be in Europe next season facing a variety of competition and McInnes abilities to adapt will really be put to the test.

As it stands right now, the squad is so ridiculously thin that its really difficult to tell what results are due to lack of personnel or poor tactics/results of poor coaching. Though there should be a lot more money available for transfers this summer (by SPL standards at least) so McInnes ability on how to build a squad will be put to the test as well. He has done absolutely excellent so far, with the little options he's had, he addressed the squads weaknesses and slowly but surely improved at every opportunity. So he's off to a very good start. Loved the Rooney signing, but he definitely needs more fowards/midfielders of different styles and abilities because as the season went on the squad became a bit too predictable and really struggled to score more than once every game.

So, I guess, we'll have to wait and see

For the LOLs

Atletico Madrid spent £61m and got to CL final.. Rangers spent £70m and got beat in the Ramsdens Cup Final.. Just let that sink in.....

Am I the only one loving the addition of the second relegation spot? It's added so much excitement to the end of this season. These games have been crazy. If it wasn't for the second spot this would have been over before the season started and there would have been zero relegation drama.

Pulling for Hibs to stay up. If they go down with Jambos overall league attendances next year will be embarrassing . Hopefully Killie go down. Don't care for them. The have possibly the worst crest in all of football

[VendettaRed07]

FML. Ahead of Motherwell and in second practically the entire season... Only to lose and fall to third the last day

[TenMenWonTheLeague]

Amusing to think some Aberdeen fans were talking of challenging is next season and they couldn't even manage to finish 2nd this season. The SPFL has actually been very interesting this season other than title race, the play offs will be interesting.

[VendettaRed07]

Wow Hibs and Hearts relegated. Couldn't write this stuff.

Hibs hearts and rangers all in the championship next season

[Robespierre]

Both Edimburgh clubs are relegated

I've rarely seen a club so loser - jinxed as Hibernian FC.
And duly they can't even enjoy for the announced relegation of his rival Hearts because the Hibs get relegated bottling , they won 0-2 the first round away , but they lose 2-0 at Edimburgh with goal conceded in last minute and then they lose to penalty kicks

Simply the Hibernian FC

You have to worry about bills, about food, about some football team that never *bleep* wins, about human relationships and all the things that really don't matter when you've got a sincere and truthful junk habit.

Pretty big fan base now in the Scottish Championship   

[VendettaRed07]

Lol yeah. I really can't help but feel for Hibs. There really aren't too many teams I feel sympathy for but they certainly are one.

Though tbh goin down might not be the worst thing in the world for them. They need a complete start over and this may help clean out the bad management. Plus they have some really great young players who should get more play time now in the championship. Sort of an upside to it like Fulham for example

Will be really interesting to see who comes out on top. I'm guess hearts will win the auto promotion.. And rangers will likely come in second if they don't get any points docked.

Imo I might watch more championship games next year than the top flight.

[RealGunner]

Real Sociedad will face Aberdeen in Europa League qualifying next Thursday at 20:30 CET in San Sebastián

[VendettaRed07]

l don't really watch La Liga, but, RG, do we have ANY chance at all.. lol

l believe in Mclnnes, he got the team to play well and get results whenever they play against teams that are clearly higher in quality.. But l don't really know much about RS, or how good they are currently. Hoping for the best expecting the worst

This season will be so terrible without any sort of run in Europe. 3 out of the five biggest clubs in Scotland are currently in the championship ffs.

[VendettaRed07]

Wow! What a way to open the season.. The championship atleast lol

Too bad RWO doesn't watch, the goal keeper for Hibs scored the game winner yesterday lol

And amazing by hearts. Rangers equalized in stoppage time and it looked like they were off with a draw, but then Hearts answer again in the dying seconds to come away with a win

Please heroes of Edinbrugh, keep the Huns down

[TenMenWonTheLeague]

Aberdeen well beaten today. Dundee United looked very good.

[VendettaRed07]

We are shit. Celtic look vulnerable. It's too bad nobody else in the top flight can mount a serious challenge

Hibs are shit and will be down in the seaside league for decades. Hearts should win the promotion. Shame they are down a tier they look better than most top flight sides. Gers with typical Ally-ball in a win

[RealGunner]

Dundee United v Aberdeen
Celtic v Rangers!

Old firm

[VendettaRed07]

Gonna be a long wait for those games tbh. United will likely win.. But who knows we've been so up and down I'm hoping we hit good form by the time the game comes around.

Have no idea what the old firm outcome will be. I'd say there is more pressure on celtic

They are in a no win scenario. Everyone expects them to win. So if they win no big deal, Rangers have been through so much, anything other than being pumped for 4 or 5 will look bad.

But if they lose... Ffs, get ready for the meltdown seethe fest of the century from both sides.

If we beat United I hope Rangers win, I'd rather take my chances with them

[VendettaRed07]

Dons are ontop of the league by 4 points in January. For Spl standards I'd say that is bloody fantastic

Ffs. Trying to not get excited. But damn. Aberdeen have really pulled it together after a terrible start

Celtic have always had games in hand during that spell. We are now top with a game in hand and will win the league comfortably. Especially seeing as Aberdeen have reverted to there usual.

[VendettaRed07]

Current championship standings

1) Hearts 63 pts
2) Hibernian 43 pts
3) Rangers 41 pts

Hearts
Hibs
Edinburgh

[VendettaRed07]

Hibs playing rangers at Ibrox. First leg of the promotion playoff

This result will be crazy no matter the outcome

[VendettaRed07]

Looks like Rangers will be promoted. Hibs were more of a threat than Motherwell honestly.

Oh well. I still think they'll barely make top 6 next season

[RealGunner]

Guess Old firm derby is back
