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.

Just seen the Ryan Christie goal….
Goal of the season, cheeky, impudent, oozing confidence.
If you haven’t seen it. Find it.
Maybe one if the tech savvie lads on here could post a link.

‘Are you saying an organisation that swears an oath of allegiance as a higher priority to the national allegiance of its members is not a threat to that nations ?’

Well, I’m definitely going to apply now.
I wonder if the application form will ask for two referees?
That bit should be a skoosh.
Man U fans all got sore throats ??

He sang one night in my local for £50. Long after The Associates. So sad an end to a great talent.
Normanstreet 49.
A good goal by Ryan but not goal of the season for me.
Moussa up at Perth, a better goal in my opinion.

She does appear to be very down to earth.
Obviously not when you met her, but that was hardly her fault.

As I said earlier, you would say that, masons support the lie that they are a benign organisation. Nothing to see here, is exactly the game played, so your method of support is exactly what I expect from a mason.

Kevin macdermot was a regular sunday fives player at bellahouston with us early 80s.he done well and stuck to what he liked.
HH
I understand before clattenberg accepted the job in Saudi he met with the referees chief in Scotland to discuss a similar role but failed the handshake test

I’ll look forward to your updates on the transport and parking updates from Celtic tomorrow.
Thanks.
BT from earlier.
Yes Dalmarnock station to Paradise is only a short stroll for some. I reckon about 15 minutes for fit healthy people. But for the elderly, the unfirm, young children and simply unfit , it is an awful lot more. Some may say impractical .
Another thing , from Dalmarnock there is absolutely no shelter or facilities. I have never got the train home from Dalmarnock for that reason.
That may change on Saturday. Have a dinner for daughters birthday in the city centre. They are taking bets that I will turn up late and be elephants. Post game Dalmarnock station seems a great idea with no facilities on route. Walking into town is a no no. Way too much temptation.
Pre game is a different ballgame .
Hail hail to all.
DD
She is going Saturday/Sunday mucker

Is it OK if I quote that in my application?
Average white band and supertramp wurny bad either
Blantyre, i’m those fine people from Larkhall would have been very understanding.
I saw a chap at the counter round about 14th July one year. He hadn’t signed on three days before and the buroo sent him up to us as he wanted money.
I asked why he hadn’t signed on . He told me he was away from Clydebank for a few days. When I asked him where, he brought out his sash and put it on the counter. No surprise where he was ob the 12th. This guy had what huns would say was a fenian first name and surname.
The supervisor who saw him was a bluenose and told him as he didnt sign on on time, a giro would be sent to him.
BT
All the young dudes I know the same. Kasabian, Catfish, Twin Atlantic and Biffy Clyro is who they want to see. I will be happy to see all those acts. Thee night will be Friday. Belle and Sebastian followed by Radiohead. Will be in a very mellow state Friday. ;)
