I don't know, some of them would be in their 60s now.

Think we're giving the 95 team too much credit. We had only won five league games before Aitken took over as caretaker, and followed up a win over Rangers by losing to Stenhousemuir. I think, despite everything, if we're in deep shit after the split that we'd sell out Pittodrie for the remaining games and I think we'd be due Kilmarnock and St Mirren at home. I don't see us losing both those games. We're crap and gutless, but we'll scrape enough points to be safe. But we really could really do without losing to St Mirren in the next game just to relieve the stress levels.

The difference between 1995 and now is that the team back then had the desire and will to battle to stay up when the chips were down. This lot won't.

I know it was, and I genuinely got it. It was a great bounce at EEP that day, but I just couldn’t go on the pitch. A club like Aberdeen should never be in a position like that - worrying about potential relegation in this league - and the fact we have been several times since, is just such a damning indictment of how chronically mismanaged this club has been for decades now...

Sheer relief min. It felt like we were down, but picked up points that put us in the play off and survive to fight another day. One of the best times following us, were those last few weeks of the season. When you see the players we had at that time, it was ludicrous that we were in so much trouble.

We actually had an exceptional team. Someone said on another thread they'd win the league these days, and they probably could. Snelders in goal. McKimmie and Irvine were very good defenders. Jess, Bernard (who wasn't worth £1m but wasn't terrible either), Grant, Glass, Miller. Shearer, Dodds, Booth and Windass to pick from up front. But, was wasted by a shite manager. Aitken gave us a boost to keep us up, and did win a league cup, but maybe he couldn't fail with that group of players, which he then dismantled in order to hasten the failure. I think you look at Hearts, who slowly progressed after that and two years later were challenging for the title and winning the cup, while we were back struggling again with a pretty terrible team. Ridiculous how bad the drop off was from the players in that team to 97-98. Leighton (a legend, but was 39 by then). Grant replaced by Kiriakov, Sheare & Booth by Newell, Irvine by O'Neil, etc.

It's the same as the Huns who will happily be surrounded by 50,000 mutants spewing sectarian bile at Ibrox insisting they're "only interested in the football" as an excuse. They'll fixate on one policy that they claim is super-important to them (border security or "trans gender for EVERYONE") as justification for turning a blind eye to the hundreds of other atrocities committed by the regime so they can avoid any kind of recognition that they may have been wrong.

If Billy Dodds had put away half the chances he was spoon fed that season, we would never have been in bother
