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.

You enjoyed reading the nightshift
Really
WWW – I read the entire blog mate, pages 1-12.
Thought it an enjoyable read, no oul animosity or bickering that I noticed.
Only thing is it took over an hour to read the lot, the adverts are mental and made it slow.
Maybe it’s just this stupid fone.
Can’t really complain anyway as the people running the blog need funds to do so.

I’ve noticed a certain air of civility annaw! How some of those guys remembered so well is astonishing :-)

Apologies mate
Reading back on the nightshift
All I could see was Petec
HH
Thought the same as well Ritchie.
Not saying that I agree with every word written, but sure it doesn’t really matter anyway as the various contributors seemed reasonable enough.
Enjoy the concerts mo chara – those gigs should be incredible.
HH.
If you want to see the difference between how the DR treat Stupid FC in comparison to other clubs do a wee search on google for Lynne McPherson story on Partick Thistle dated 15th Jan 2017
I won’t link of post it but just if you are interested.

Me going to a game V the Huns using my season ticket in no way funds them.
If you’re going to criticise at least do it from an accurate standpoint.

Not a bother WWW.
The nightshift wouldn’t be quite the same without the boul Petec sure, and it looked like he was enjoying himself.
It’s all good.
Let us know if ya hear any Cheltenham news please.
Aff oot to the bookies to get the Irish lotto done.

I thought briefs were something you wear under your trousers to stop chaffing and skid marks….
HELP!
Going to Annan in Dumfriesshire tomorrow.
AA Route Planner says M73 then M74.
Are there any major roadworks there please.
I can go the Lanark road from Linlithgow which will bring me on to the M74 just south of Lanark.
But a wee bit of a footery drive!
Thanks in advance!
Philbhoy
You can get on the M74 southbound at Motherwell no problem, Raith is One junction North of Motherwell
Philbhoy- The Lanark road will bring you out at Abington services.
Once you’re on the M74 it’s a straight road down, depending on how heavy your right foot is an hour at most, come off at the junction for Eaglesfield/Annan.
If you’re hungry go for a fish tea in the Cafe Royal on the High St, megadelish.
Many happy returns to ole EDB.
DESSYBHOY and DBBIA
Thanks!
I’ll have my wife, daughter, mother in law and me in the motor so 55 mph max if I’m lucky!
Going to a 50th and staying at a local hotel in Annan.
Fish Teas now, is it?
