Managerial talent

Derek Adams propensity to waste time and then complain about time being added on should not obscure the fact that he is a remarkably productive football manager.  Ross County, from Dingwall, population 5,000, are sitting fourth in the SPL and remain in touching distance of a place in Europe.  No need to highlight their Scottish Cup campaign in 2010.

It is, therefore, no surprise that Aberdeen have asked Ross County for permission to speak to him.  On the face of it, Aberdeen should fancy their chances of recruiting Adams but County are confident for a reason.  SPL, and in Owen Coyle’s case First Division, managers have been recruited by well-paying English clubs at levels the likes of Aberdeen cannot compete with.  County chairman, Roy McGregor, is likely to advise Adams to hold off for a more lucrative move south.

When Jimmy Calderwood left Dunfermline for Aberdeen in 2004 chairmen John Yorkston explained his surprise at Calderwood heading north, explaining that he believed one day Calderwood would move to Ibrox.  Aberdeen proved to be a plateau for Calderwood, as it has been for most over the last couple of decades.

If they don’t get Adams chances are they will go back to Motherwell; back-to-back second place finishes are exactly what is needed at Pittodrie right now.

Best of luck to Gordon Strachan on his first competitive game as Scotland manager tonight.

    “You’re obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That’s the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world.”

    macjay1: John, I hope you are well, enjoyed meeting you on the Sydney City CSC cruise on Saturday, although by the end of it I was a bit worse for wear. The St Patrick’s Day Parade was fantastic, amazing seeing so many people lining the streets. ‘Sydney’s Green and White!’. Monday morning was painful!

    You for bidding on a fine drop of whisky later on?

     

     

    It comes highly recommended,and will last three times as long as you think-you have to water it down 2-1 or it will fry yer brain………

    Still snowing on this white fresh Spring ‘morrow…

     

     

    Of course when I say Spring I’m reminded that humanity doesn’t decide when it starts this planet of ours has older & wiser ways.

     

     

    As does Mr Coleman.

     

     

    A man many of us thought would be s#@?ed oot.

     

     

    Seems not.

     

     

    Have sympathy with Gordon, he needs a break in that thankless job.

     

     

    Still if he’s going to play KM&Co then you get your just desserts.

     

     

    MO’N’s aul bhoys didn’t do it for WGS at Celtic, he ruthlessly disassembled that team and brought his own ghuys in.

     

     

    The rest is Historic…

     

     

    Same again please Gordon.

     

     

    Hail! Hail!

    Had we stood much chance of qualifying,Levein would still be in charge.

     

     

    That was probably WGS giving the old guard their chance under him. They’ve had that chance,and I think future selections will prove that.

     

     

    Had he NOT given them their chance,they would always be cast up any time we got a bad result in future.

     

     

    Of course,I can just imagine WGS reply to any journo trying to pick the team for him…

     

     

    “What do you know about football? Yer no’ even a guid journalist!”

     

     

    (You can have that one for free,Gordon……)

    These weather forecasters are rubbish.

     

     

    Just started snowing in Swindon-they reckoned we would miss it.

     

     

    Feel for all you folks back home who are suffering,mind.

     

     

    Late March? WTF?
