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.

I fear you might be right. I hope he is using certain rhetoric to flush out certain Controllers.
Never forget the controllers are always controlling and manipulating things.
All we can ever do is to Pray for Leaders – especially those leading those- you disagree with, when that happens. Theee Almighty.
1 Corinthians 2:5
TET,
All I can say is, stick to the glue that you know best.
I was worried about certain Enforcement comments he made today, amongst so many excellent comments about other things.
I stated my concern about Dominionism – if he heads doon that Path and the signs are not looking Good. That ain’t Yeshua.
I will keep hoping he grows into the job.
Dallas
He was in Budapest Honved 1988with GW, Sharpy & Dushanbe BB and Joe
What a trip that wiz.. dearie me
Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Tracy Chapman Yousse D’Nour played an amnesty International gig at the Nep Stadium night before our game. Loads of Celts at the gig including a crowd of Welsh Bhoys – clearly remember The Boss talking about countries with civil rights problems…”El Salvador, Nicaragua…Ireland (pointing to our huge Tricolour) …”
Behind the Oul’ Iron Curtain, remember being met by Hungarian Troops with Kalashnikovs on the Orient Express as we crossed into Hungary from Austria scary at first but soon found common cause with them ( a few fags and shared cans of Lager they were all relaxed and laughing with us)
First McDonalds in Hungary opened during that trip, about 33p for a Big Mac (bottle of real Red Bull vino for that too, or x12 Tubörg…:-)
Due to the gig at Nep Stadium our match v Honved was moved to a small stadium … the least said about the game that night, the better!
SALTIRES EN SEVILLA @ 11:05 PM,
“Also, John Otway & Wild Wily Barret in 1979 – The famous Tent Tour – free entry if you bought their latest single DK50/80 in the local Woollies that day.
Yeah! Think this was due to the “success” of the single really free… they were building up quite a following…
John Otway and the record Company had scheduled a tour in the summer of 1978.
Wild Wily pointed out there was a World Cup on and No way was he going to tour during the fitba’
They had to rearrange the tour without the Record Company Dosh…. Oops!
Might sound weird but I can tell you stranger things happen in Aylesbury:)
Hail Hail
Perhaps Trump has realised he can’t take Everything with him to the next Life?
Perhaps he has realised he trampled on so many people, even destroyed them?
Who Knows?
One thing is certain.
The Press is out of Control.
I Know the 1 Truth, and I needed that more than ANY other person (obviously EVERYONE needs that ;)).
Some might say I’m out of control.
I could gently remind them, I’m not hurting anyone with a keyboard.
My Sister she is the Best ever – easily the Bravest.
Anyone scaring my Sister – she is tiny, is an animal.
Thats Life.

Chairbhoy
Tbh it was only the Really Free single we were aware of and the idea we could get into a gig for the price of a single … we could keep… a no brainer :-)
Still in 5th Year and happy to almost guarantee to be served a few beers
Became a fan that night, great raw energy in their show.
Corinne realised she was lucky to be alive and went so many operations to survive, after being jilted by her first Love.
Since that Time she has Devoted Everything to Life.
She is the Bravest of the Brave.
I told her to stop looking at Astrology and all that stars stuff.
To be fair, she kept looking for yeats. Thankfully she doesn’t anymair.

SALTIRES EN SEVILLA @ 12:00 AM,

Nightmoves – saw a wee American band there in early eighties something to do with eye movement wasn’t impressed at the time more into the disco afterwards. Was at early Smiths gig in QMU. Sat in bar upstairs. Probably have preferred to have watched the Smiths.
Nightmoves was great. Loved watching many bands there. Downside was meeting Billy Fekking Sloan there a few times.
Co is the Finest.

Respect Everything about CELTIC.
My 2nd eldest Sister told me last night about Love Letters between Granda (never seen him) and Grandma.
I’ve always been self centred.
Wow.
I know I am going to cry.
I had no idea Dad kept anything, except Every Bird in Dumbarton.
A different World eh?
It is likely the late 20s.
WOW
The March to London means I’m here today, Basically.
Powerful.
When I said to my Dad that Aidan had bought his own Ticket for the ICT Cup Game – he smiled.
I didn’t even know until getting a text from Aidy. :))
You have until 17:00 hours to secure your own seat, on the Monday I think as well.
They extended the deadline and eventually gave up.
6-0 going on many more.
I was surprised how low the crowd was.
