McGhee, the old faux

504

Mark McGhee put on a stunning display as a faux hard man last night. After being escorted from the touchline by a police officer at Pittodrie, the Motherwell manager didn’t take well to his antics being recorded for posterity on video by an Aberdeen fan.

His unfocussed irritation transformed into confrontational anger towards the fan, but only after McGhee had made eye contact with a rapidly approaching Aberdeen official, who was a split second from intervening on his behalf.

This is the offline equivalent of the keyboard hard man. It’s just someone working through their issues in what feels like a real confrontation, but is actually relatively safe environment. Mark just needs a hug. Hug Mark, if you see him.

Speaking to the media afterwards McGhee then went into full irony mode:

“I’m absolutely disgusted and horrified by the attitude of the fourth official. Before a ball was kicked, he was causing issues that didn’t exist.”

Like creating a scene when a visiting goalkeeper warms up in front of his assigned goals, perhaps. There followed an explicit threat to get his lawyers involved, which is almost certainly faux bluster.

Many years ago Dundee United and Scotland assistant manager Jim McLean resigned from his SFA post when he ran into conflict with the Association. McGhee should consider doing likewise this morning. But first he needs a hug. Someone?

Great to see Ryan Christie making his mark at Aberdeen, the finish for his goal last night is worth catching, if you haven’t see it yet.

  4. Has anyone every met or know Laurie of Denniston who rings into SSB? Also Mark Wilson is a fud. Gerry McCullouch a snake always back tracks to cover Clyde at every opportunity. I have listened to phone ins down here in England on Merseyside and they tell it as it is without fear of legal consequences. Same with the media, Liverpool Echo want both Liverpool and Everton to do well, shame it is not nor has ever been like that in Glasgow. By the way has anyone from the SMSM contacted Notts Forrest yet to get their take on the Warbs story…………no didn’t thing so

    And aye I see conspiracy everywhere I look, I no long believe it’s up to me to provide evidence of conspiracy, those in power have proven themselves to be liars and cheats at every level. The onus is on them to prove they are not involved in conspiracies.

    Delaney’s, your ex St Tam’s pupil , big McGowan , saw the Cocteau Twins support OMD at the Apollo.

     

     

    He had me in stitches with the different names he had for the Cocteau Twins. He even called them the Cochno Twins at one point.

     

     

    OMD’s Andy McLuskey s a Celtic fan. His dad played for us, a reserve , in the fifties.

    Maybe it’s power that corrupts, rather than nationality, ethnicity or race.

     

     

    Just a thought.

    I think we should try to keep a sense of proportion.

    I’m honoured, you replied to a direct question

    :-))

  21. Canamalar it looks like OCD obsession on

    Ernie…,

     

    What does a sense of proportion mean ?

     

     

    Are you saying an organisation that swears an oath of allegiance as a higher priority to the national allegiance of its members is not a threat to that nations ?
