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 was just going to say, what about Maggie Bell.
As for Eddie Reader.
I reckon Eddie Mair would be a better singer.

An award of €230,000 seems very high
I am sure Stokes lawyers will appeal the amount
There could be an element of “highly paid professional footballer” so he can afford it
These awards are made by juries ( chaps like you and me) and are often lowered on appeal
As for Stokes pals ? Well thats more of a story in Scotland than it is over here in the Republic of Free West Brit Southern Eire
Sorry got to go,playing croquet on the lawn with some chums from the “rejoin the commonwealth society”
Ernie
We are making progress, 50% agreement :-)

Wilson again:
“The Board’s recruitment strategy was to sign younger players who can be developed at Ibrox and sold for a profit”

Now, how does that tie in with King criticising Warburton for using Sevco as a stepping stone to the EPL……?
“We need employees that will always put Rangers first”…….
WITS,
You just need to look at who at the top and how/where their money was made to know there are very close connections to the London establishment.
Barbara Dickson, good chanter por cierto.
Glass 2/3
I read that earlier, shameless cheerleader and Jabba puppet. Expect nothing of substance from him, a disgrace to his profession.
Good.

At the top of what ?
Susan Boyle :)
TeT
Saw her live in the small intimate setting of Oran Mor Byres Road. She was just Wow! Angelic like Annie Lennox.
Mike in Toronto , the Bluebells and the McLuskey brothers, in their own right, were great.
The Bluebells were managed by a chap with the brillant name of Patrick Pearse Brady.
Sharon Dunleavy of Hamilton band , the Fruits of Passion , was a very good singer and a Celtic fan.
WDH
my number ends 757
Surprised nae shouts for young Emily..
Great wee chanter…

Manure get a dodgy free kick for their goal and St Etienne denied a reasonable penalty shout. CL refs always looking after top seeds.
Hi Bhoys
Talking of Glasgow bands I always thought James Grant of Love & Money was the finest songwriter around at the time. I’m sure if he went to Nashville he would have been a multi millionaire. Other bands you have missed are The Kevin Mc Dermott Orchestra and of course Del Amitri.

Enjoy
KEEP THE FAITH
Hey D.D.
Emile Sande great voice.
Fay Fife, was she Rezillos lead singer. I remember buying their single Top Of The Pops.
Elizabeth Fraser, I was like who is she? Then I realised Liz Fraser. Cocteau twins.
Ernie Lynch.
What do you call an old cow with five tits.
Lulu and Take That.
Dallas Dallas
Blantyre band sir…
Need to tell you re my supp Ben claim form from 1984 with McCluskey bhoys in Hamilton DHSS. :-)
Delaneys
You are one lucky bhoy mi amigo, only had the pleasure of recordings, the young fella knows her, he met her through someone they both are friends with, strangely he isny a fan, weird or what :-)

Delaney’s , the submari down one nil to Roma.
The commentator tempted fate. He mentioned how good Villareal’s defence is, one of the defender’s gets caught on the ball, goal Roma. A very good finish.
A11 form if I remember
Gary Clark writes (and sings) some fine tunes
WITS,
Money and power, the same people who paid enough to corrupt the Irish govt beyond redemption, your recent discussion drip lays that is now the norm and there will be nothing done about it, it will be brushed under the carpet just like all the other big corruption scandals over the years. How many politicians and billionaires ended up in jail, even after they were found guilty by inquiery. No criminal proceedings brought, that’s exactly how the Brits do things, Blairs war in Iraq, westminster paedophilia club. The same strategies and agendas are used both sides of the Irish Sea, that’s not coincidence now is it ?
