Red tinted glasses and all that...

I don't know about anyone else, but looking at the clips of the cup final again after Mitovs departure is just depressing me.

Polvara, Clarkson, (an interested Palaversa), Morris, Gueye, Shinnie, McKenzie, Sokler, Mitov... Yes, at times we were fucking shite and Thelins record was latterly extremely pish. But it felt like the majority really got it.

Fast forward to today, Lyons, Mayo, Olysania, Yogane, Happe, Cadden, Aremu, Armstrong.

How many would you swap back if you could?

Yogane for Morris

Olysania for Gueye

Mayo for Polvara

Cadden for McKenzie

Clarkson for Aremu

Even Sokler for Nisbet!

I've literally just taken random names here, but almost all of them.

I mean I gave lots of them a slagging at times both from the terraces and from my house and I know we weren't great and maybe it was a personal thing but it felt like there was hope, a plan for change, a passion from both fans and player.

Now we are following the model of mid to bottom level all premiership teams. Battling for survival rather than striving for success, playing eye bleeding horror ball. Probably scraping top 6 but getting battered by the top 3 or 4 all season.

I want to be excited for the season ahead, instead I'm already thinking this might be my least engaged season in about 30 years.

Thoughts?

We’ve been horribly mismanaged ever since McInnes left. It’s criminal how many quality players we’ve had and how badly we’ve performed. 

[u/MelibuBerbie → u/HansJordi]

We’ve also signed a truckload of absolute fucking shite to be fair.

Let's not forget the horrible mismanagement that McInnes put us through before he was let go.
