Credit To Jimmy Calderwood..
At times he's a bit of a Hun fud but credit to him for taking the defeat like a man and a professional last night.
Not many other managers in the game would have shook the hands of every Hibs player coming off the park. Well done but.. GIRUY!!!! To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. |

Re: Credit To Jimmy Calderwood..
Yeah he was full of praise for us, I like Calderwood as a man and as a manager, hes done a great job at Aberdeen and yet the fans never turn up to support him.
All the best Jimmy. |

Re: Credit To Jimmy Calderwood..
I think Jummy's tendancy to stick four up front is indication that he doesn't trust his own tactics

If he could stick to that syle of play instead of being so defensive (as in previous encounters) he will get the Dons fans back in numbers. I also think he's a whinging eejit. However - I too noticed that he waited until all the Hibs players came off (which meant he had to hang about, given our players were off applauding our fans). Credit where it's due.

I think he's a tool. His sporting behaviour of last night is completely out of character. He normally gives as much credit to the winning opposition as Fat Fattries or Hamster Chops ever did. Aberdeen are in a false position in the league, and Tango and Sash are an over-rated management team.

Re: Credit To Jimmy Calderwood..
Aberdeen do sometimes play a very attacking style. On sevral occasions they have had only Anderson and Hart at the back. Takes guts to go 2-4-4.

Re: Credit To Jimmy Calderwood..
I think his under-10 style tactics of 'we're getting beat, let's ram four boys up front and hope for the best' got well and truly exploited last night - hopefully other teams will have seen that and now pick them apart like we did last night, putting them back to mid-table mediocrity where they belong.
I don't rate him as a manager, and I think he's a grade-a melt, and no amount of false sportsmanship is going to change my opinion of him. |

Re: Credit To Jimmy Calderwood..
His team are very well organised and have pace in key areas. They don't have enough flair and regular goalscorers though. Lovell causes teams problems but he simply doesn't score enough goals, neither does Mackie. You can see why Calderwood wants Dean Sheils, an attacking midfielder with an eye for goal.
I think Calderwood is a good manager, but my problem with him as a person is his tendency to mouth off about other clubs too much. He accepted last nights defeat in good grace for once, and fair enough he was complimentary about Hibs. I also think he makes the mistake of publically blasting his own players too much which cannot do much for their confidence. Aberdeen have the huge problem of managing their fans high expectations when there must still be a large amounts of fans who remember the Fergie era in the early 1980's. Everything they do now is compared to that time and that is an unfair comparison. The climate of football in Scotland was totally different then, and Ferguson was a one-off manager whom Aberdeen were fortunate to have at a time when the Old Firm were weak. I still think they are one of the best teams in the SPL outside the OF, and that is why last nights result and second half performance from Hibs was so praiseworthy.

Re: Credit To Jimmy Calderwood..
I think Aberdeen are defensive pile of shite. Last night was the first time in seasons they tried to attack and look what happened, we found them out at last. I also think Tango and Sash flatter to deceive, never really having done much more than keep the Pars up or Aberdeen in the top six. As for comments about the 'poor' Aberdeen support. Aberdeen have a very good support and I like to think of their fans as being much like Hibs, in their club loyalty, expectations on style of football played, dislike of the infirm and lack of religious intolerance. If the Dons fans are not going along to Pitoddrie, its because the fitba isnae good enough.

They are in a better position than they have been for years yet their home crowds are down - no wonder if they have to watch Calderwood's stale and cynical defensive football. I dont think you can blame dons fans too much, they have one of the best supports in Scotland (though their away support is massively inflated by the numbers of dons working in, and particularly studying in, the central belt). As for Calderwood, he's a tube. Very rarely gracious in defeat, has ludicrous notions about his team's ability and whinges on with endless excuses much like a weedgie version of Jim Jefferies.

Nicely summed up. I like the Dons, Aberdeen and they teuchter barstewards in general and I feel sorry for them with regards to their current management. What happened when Blobby was appointed? Season Tickets were not renewed even without a deek at the performance. Then, when we saw how feckin' pish his attitude to fitbaw (and the fans) was even more folk just stopped going. OK it's slightly different 'cause they've got good league position but I see their stance as being the same stance as I would take: I'm not a Hearts fan, I can't enjoy long baw, I want to see the beautiful game, I want to watch football not rugby, I don't want to play for a draw. Yawn fuckin' yawn. We must feel sorry for the Sheep.

Re: Credit To Jimmy Calderwood..
Sorry,
Difference of opinions - i think hes an erse. Tries to be cocky with the mind games - 'hes not fit' etc and speaks some crap after gems (even slaggin off his own side or blaming more bloody injuries). The tactics are bullish and little things like watering the pitch last week to slow down the ball annoys me (never mind injuring Killen). It backfired pal - ol man Brew also fell over his walking stick coz of the pitch. But you are right on one point - GIRUY.
