  1. So 5th place it is then
  2. beginning to wonder why there was any hype about steve Lovell
  3. So thats europe on July 30th then Such a predictable final. Knew they had blown their chance when they failed to score in the first half. Only chance teams like Falkirk have is to get a 2 goal lead b4 halftime. Hampden apparently not sold out again
  4. 41C at Pitch level apparently. Fuck that!
  5. its on ITV in England but STV chose not to show any FA cup football this season (not even highlights) Im watching a live stream in ITV.com Bizarrely the Scottish cup final is on BBC1 scotland but they dont have the rights to show a live stream on BBC scotland Online???
  6. Fastes ever goal in FA Cup Final history perchance? Louis Saha - 24 seconds. Boro Fans must be having a little chuckle to themselves after that one
  7. So was this guy but i wouldnt have him as manager either
  8. My thoughts are that until the whole money-football relationship comes to a crashing halt down Englandshire it will be ni-on impossible for any scottish club outside the old firm to tempt any manager from down south unless he has been sitting on his ass for several months with no offers. Aberdeen may be a name but as my Dad (Argyle fan) pointed out, we also suffer from the 'oh thats fucking miles away, im not going there' that Plagued Plymouth for many years. Im almost resigned to Mcghee being hired in the next 2 weeks and since I have slowly been losing interest in the day to day runnings of AFC these last few weeks I dont think i really care if they do However if I see of hear of John Hughes or Jim jeffries anywhere near the city of Aberdeen .... [flash=200,200] I dont envy the people in my office
  9. Have we actually 'shelled out' for Calderwood and Co? Hes apparenlty talking to the redheads and making sly digs at AFC but has it been confirmed that hes been paid off, or are we to see 'calderwood takes up post at <insert lower league english team here> in the next couple of days which might shed some light on why the rumours about him leaving were circulating almost a week before the hibs game?
  10. Dunno about you but im looking for someone that will improve on Calderwoods showing Not just keep it ticking over
  11. Brighton is his only genuine success??? 1st season: Wins the legue 1 playoff- Promotion 2nd season:Gets them to finish 20th out of 24 (Highest league finish in many years it may be but a success?) 3rd season: Relegated back to League 1 4th season: Sacked after 3 straight defeats Id put taking a cash strapped, fresh from administration stuggling SPL team to 3rd place in 1 season as more successful than that. And I still dont think he is the right man for the job. Perhaps if he and Eric Black team up I might be won over but then again perhaps not If we are choosing managers based on similar success to Mcghee's brighton record then we may aswell have Roy Aitken back
  12. Or if we do it might be someone worth having
  13. Said individual has informed me he 'believes McGhee is Pittodrie bound'
  14. And 5th in a league of 12 last season and 9th in a league of 12 the season before
  15. At least our players arent all mouth and actually get stuck in
  16. In my experience mr Wood only throws money away on his Kids business exploits. So unless we can get his son involved in AFC then he isnt going to follow milnes example and hand over cash for no return
  17. Where have millwall been since he left? FA Cup final and UEFA Cup Where did leicester go when he left Back to the premiership, 2 league cups, UEFA Cup Where did wolves go when he left? The Premiership Brighton 20th place in a league of 24 impresses you? Motherwell ooh boo hoo they lost some players. Thats why they couldnt make it into the top 6 again . Calderwood of course never lost Anderson, Smith, Nicolson, Miller, Hart or anyone else. I dont wish to doubt your experience of football management but putting all yer faith in someone who has done less than Jimmy Calderwood doesnt strike you as a bit misguided?
  18. I just like seeing this over and over
  19. now theres a name from the past anyway I have been informed in the past by someone particularly close to Mr McGhee that there are only 2 jobs that he would leave motherwell for - Us and the Tic. Personally I hope he goes to the latter but im with Mizer. Id be very susrprised if he went there especially before Stuart Baxter has been mentioned
  20. well according to the BBC Until today, when have we ever 'pipped' them to a euro spot on the final day?
  21. Made even more sweet by the fact today was their Centenary day
  22. So long as we are claiming shit id like to be congratulated in that my decision not to go to games from mid february 2009 has resulted in Jimmy Calderwood leaving the club. Some might claim my decision was down to an enforced 4 day week but Im telling you all now it was a protest against the management and AFC and jimmy clearly noticed that I was absent from the terraces and took the only action they could. And it only took 3.5months. Dont be shy now. Some people said my protest had failed but look whats happened.
  23. If yer so adamant that you are not a plastic fan why do you feel the need to justify yourself on here? Smacks of insecurity
  24. ya gotta love a good Train wreck
  25. i want a Miller & Mcleish Double act
