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.

Good luck with…as discussed.
Blue Light City down here last night,and not even a full moon! This included a beauty,a head-on crash careering into a multiple parking bay. I doubt anyone was injured though-it was in a one-way system,and a 20mph zone!!!!!
I`ll have to speak quietly so as not to disturb Jobo.
According to the BBC site, there are three Europa league games on Wednesday night as well as two CL games ( and Hearts v Hibs !). Why are the EL games not on the normal Thursday?
Cheerio for now. Golf calls.

I enjoyed reading back last night’s blog,just took ages though to be honest.
Can’t complain obviously because it’s free to read.
Tried to read a few articles on Video Celts there, but had to give up, far too stressful.
On a more positive note – That Real Betis Celtic style tap is superlative.
€70 cost it is pure class.
A must purchase.
Laters.
