  1. Taxi Driver Story About Mr Mcghoo - Another Blinder From John Boyle!

    in Club Chat

    Posted

    I know what you mean, but is it a business secret really? If McGhee has already moved on?

     

    And the more I think about it, as much as it's the work of Judus Escariot in our book (the 'well fans) isn't it something thats accepted in every other work of life?

     

    OK, theres a lot of youngsters that come on this forum, but from my experience theres also a good few of us guys in the real world. We all know that when it's time to move on you take your contact list, your workplace cv, pretty much everything you have ever worked on for your current employer, and anything else which will help you get on in your new job.

     

    So whilst it is sacrilage to us, what the cabbi was telling me, isn't it something that the rest of us get up to in our careers when we get the chance??

    Agree100% mate, those of us who live in the real world realise this stuff happens, and have done it ourselves, but I dont everremember doing it BEFORE I actually got a job!!

  4. Setanta Up Jobby Creek

    Happy with that..................... :P

     

     

    I hate the Scum as much as anyone, but set that aside and read the 2 statements, and tell me how or why you disagree with them.

     

    Also, Celtic and Rangers have had Joint Venture agreements in place with Setanta for years now to produce their own TV channels, so if they raised concerns a year ago about Setanta's financial state (and I know for a fact that it's been a concern to them for a lot longer than that), then maybe the rest of us should have listened.

  6. Worst Motherwell Team And Manager

    Does anyone else remember Mike Larnach?

    And how about Bob Latchford or Ally Hunter for worst keeper?

     

    Couldn't argue with either Latchford or Hunter. Unbelievably Larnach was for many years our record signing at £100k (about 1977/78??).

     

    Anyone for Alan Mackin? or Alex Spark??

    By the way I've been doin some research into how much flights and other transport costs to possible places we can go to. How the hell do you get to Torshavn nobody seems to fly there?

     

    Atlantic Airways - Aberdeen to Vagar (Given the size of the Faores I can't see Vagar being too far from Torshavn

     

    Failing that, I'm sure theres a ferry from Aberdeen too? I'm sure some of the guys who went to HB last time will correct me.

  11. Vs Kilmarnock

    That record looks bad on the face of it, but slightly distorted by the fact that the majority of those matches have been against the OF.

     

    Still, must be due to break the run soon, I reckon a hard-fought 2-1 win, with Kelly-Anne, and Sutton scoring

    Hold on a minute...I got stick for picking Stuart Rennie, and now we've seen the first pick for Scott Howie!!

     

    Kinda proves my point I suppose, I said at the time that Rennie was the best of a bad lot, and I stand by that. Before all the students try to convince me that Dykstra was a good keeper, bear in mind that a good keeper commands his area and safely collects most crosses!!

    I remember MacRae playing for either a Scottish league team or the Under 23's can't remember which, but I'm pretty sure the defenders in front of him were Jardine and McGrain and they were passing it between them when an attacker broke through and MacRae came out and dived at his feet ending up with a broken wrist. He was out for months.

    I was speaking to Malcolm Allison about him a year or so ago, and he said he was a terrific 'keeper with great agility but a complete headcase who wanted to play centre forward in training.

     

    Well, he did famously play outfield for us a few times. I remember Ian St John saying in his book that he thought McRae was occasionally spectacular, but not basically sound. Always wondered why his career never really took off when he left us for such a big fee at the time (£100k).

     

     

     

    Oh and by the way GIMFC....Gordon Mair??????? aka Night. You havin a laff?

    The "too many steps' decision was a farce. Keepers did it every week, and were usually only pulled up on it if they were looking to waste time. It's like the newer rule about keepers holding onto the ball for 6 seconds - how often does that get enforced?

     

    I don't think he was our best keeper, though. McRae tops that list.

     

    Can't really remember that much about McRae, he was the keeper just as I started on the rollercoaster. I picked Rennie as the best of a bad lot really (in hindsight, maybe Maxwell desrved the place), but was never a big fan of Dykstra who seems to be a popular choice particularly among our younger contributors. Always thought he flattered to deceive, and I know a few guys older than me who thought the same of Keith McRae.

  20. Chris Porter Signs For Derby County

    Can't say a bad word against the big man....always professional, never in the papers giving it the self-publicity thing a la McDonald, McCormack. Signed for nothing, almost a goal every 2 games for a season and a half, and £400k in the bank.....thanks Chris, and all the best for the rest of your career, I'm sure it will be a long and fruitful one.
