Brian Irvine

[Guest redbrigade]

FFS. He's stacking shelves in Markies in Inverness. Surely there must be a coaching job out there for him somewhere!?

Thats really sad to hear especially when you see ***kers like Rooney driving about in their flashy sport cars and throwing money at granny prostitutes.

[Patty]

I thought he was a journalist now? Ach well, sad ot hear.

total gent ........ fitba's sh*te

 

he's a ***kin hero FFS

[Guest glasgowdon]

That's really sad news.

 

[Nespa]

Hard to believe considering the work he is doing on Radio! .....but i used to work with his mum who was head of security in Asda in Coatbridge so maybe.....

[Bobby Connor]

I really hope this turns out to be false

 

This guy was a Scotland internationalist FFS!

[Guest El Padre]

The guy was a legend in Dnipro, had time for every single fan who approached him. God bless Brian Irvine!

[Dandyjam]

Dobbin will always be a legend. I'd love to see him back at AFC in some capacity though.

I'm a bit skeptical as to how much truth there is in this. Sure he wasn't just picking up cans of soup like yer normal shopper? Either way, I grew up watching Brian Irvine. Played for the jersey like others have already said. Hope he's doing alright in life. Personally I'd give Mckimmies column to him!

[Guest redbrigade]

He's my parents neighbour, the story is genuine I'm afraid.

I thought he was doing some community coaching as well but I'm not so sure.

[RUL]

Not being funny but what happened to his playing cash, surely he must have made some cash out of being a professional for over a decade?

 

Bet he regrets that "clash of the dons" testimonial now!

[paulkaneatemyhamster]

What a damn shame

 

surely Dobbin should be doing the dons coaching schools up in Inverness rather than take the job of some 16 year old Pole

[roccovellhung]

Och, mibbe hes saving up for a trip to Lourdes? - he's just like the rest of us ye ken

[badly don boy]

he was on the radio today. this thread smells of sh*te, as does the" Anyone else hear mcleish has quit???" thread - despite the fact he was on the news boarding a plane to SA with Gordon Smith.

 

Yes, I definitely smell sh*te.

This is 100% true

[CtS]

You've got to admire him really. Obviously needed a few quid so he got out there and starting working for it, I wouldn't expect anything less from a character like Brian.

 

 

Love this picture, Bursting with pride.

Can't say that about many of those jokers in our squad these days unfortunately.

[Milners]

I was speaking to him in dnipro and he mentioned he is not coaching at the moment. If there is one club that should offer him a job its the dons. We own him for his service he gave to the club and if he is a decent coach then we should get him with the youths imho. Still if the job is to get away from the hoose then fair play to him.

He's working 3 shifts in M&S in Inverness, I guarantee you.

[RUL]

AFC don't owe him anything imo, they paid him as a professional footballer and he offered 100% committment, it was much appreciated but the game goes on. Loved him as a player and sat through his absymal testimonial to pay tribute to the man.

 

If he's a better coach than what we already have then get him in but we don't owe him a job and I am sure with his character he would never expect it either.

 

How is he getting on in general health wise anyway does anyone know?

Agree but someone like Irvine would be perfect for our community coaching. Guy is great with people and has utmost respect of almost everyone.

[swaddon]

If he's happy enough stacking shelves, then fair enough. If he's not, well surely someone in the Highland League will need a manager, OK, so he didn't exactly succeed at Elgin, but maybe he's learned from his mistakes.

[foolsgold 9.53]

He's too nice a guy to be a football manager but i agree a community coaching role in some capacity would be an excellent role for him ala Simmie

 

He scored the winning goal in a cup final FFS..... the least he should be doing is running his own boozer or summat.
