Mark Mcghee In The Sunday Herald

No man is an island, and McGhee is no exception.

 

At least Brown offers us a beacon of hope in these stormy waters.

 

The Isle of Man is

Still dont see much differance defensivly between mawene and ifil.

 

Another mistake from him on sunday looking at the highlights.

i would seek optical advice if i were you.

[Stoney]

Mawene has made just as much if not more mistakes than ifil.

 

Have a look at his general position sense at the celtic game, sucked into the ball for celtics first leaving a man over and twice if not three teams doesnt get goal side to his man. Gets constantly sucked in almost every time celtic get near the box. Also gives away the stupid free kick for the winner.

 

that and yet another assist for an opposition goal, seen it three times this season already placing the ball on a plate for the opposition.

 

He's fucking rank, would rather have McCardle back there.

Thankfully you're not manager of Aberdeen however, and the guy who is knows better.

He scored a good goal against United...so not all bad...

He's a damn site better than McCardle...but he is a bit suspect on the ground but good in the air...I've seen worse

[Stoney]

Thomas Solberg scored a few goals too. Still a rank defender.

 

Its a shame we dont have two arnies.

[tup]

I've often wondered why we dinna buy more Icelandic players actually, seems like common sense, Aberdeen's like St Tropez to those cunts.

Now there's an unwelcome blast from the past...he was a gangly arse of a man...Terrible player.

Mawene's not in the same league of crapness as Solberg

[Henry]

Were you at the Celtic game Stonester?

[diamondsr4ever]

mine when we were all on him at 50/1 against the huns and he scored the pen for the 1st goal, thats all I liked about him.

I share your aethiestic views, but it is a bit poor thinking that someone turns to religion to advance themselves in a professional respect. He seems to turn to God for guidance in all aspects of his life, who are you to question how that has advance him in entirety based on your opinions of him as a footballer?

 

I just can't be arsed with folk mentioning to the media how they turned to religion or asked a god for any kind of help, especially when there's no god to give it in the first place. Anyway... best stop the atheist chat in here, it will only end up in arguments, always does.

Fair enough, have your beliefs, let him have his. All he did was mention what helped him get through a tough time, hardly big up his religion and denounce anyone who did not share his beliefs...

[Kingsofyearron]

McGhee was a massive drainer and can see no fault in his own actions. However I suspect what he says is pretty bang on and confirms a lot. Mcghee's spell as boss was tragic for a great player and I wish it hadn't happened that way. The McGhee chapter is closed thankfully, but we'll continue to bobble along miserably if all else stays as it is.

[Liam]

Type of thing I would expect to read from such an arrogant self-centred cunt.

Thank fuck he is out of our club.

 

Oh, and bring back ifil.

[OneBeboMaguire]

Read it, good interview. Don't see what the gripe is with our fans for the interview that hes done, we could see fine ourselves the problems with the club around that time, still respect the guy.

[Rossshepherd]

If anyone thinks Jerel Ifil went too far with the whole God shit..

 

Has everybody forgotten Marvin Andrews? Claimed God healed him when suffering from cruciate ligament damage and played on for the remainder of the season with this.

 

Also called gays an abomination, maybe nae that daft after all. (Joking before Sol Campbell enthusiasts turn up at my door)

[bobb4you]

religion might very well seem alien to you, but if it helps people, its a good thing

 

I disagree.

[Rossshepherd]

i disagree with your disagreement

I agree with yourself. If It helps someone, what right does anybody have to try and poke holes In it?

[a don in oz]

This thread is just bonkers.

 

Aye I mean more bonkers than the usual run-of-the-mill bonkers stuff we get here...

Are you hoping to go back into management Mark?

 

Can you please own up to fabricating the spittle story as a means of deflecting from your own shortcomings?

 

Cheers.

[Henry]

Do we all agree?

I'd like to see him try and call Abomination gay, even Hulk has problems tackling that cunt.

JIMMY CALDERWOOD has poured scorn on Mark McGhee's claim that Aberdeen is rotten to the core and insists the ex-Dons boss is blaming the club for his own failings.

Gothenburg Great McGhee has admitted he made the wrong career choice by returning to Pittodrie in June 2009.

McGhee ended up being sacked last December after the worst run of results in the club's history which included a record 9-0 humiliation by Celtic.

The former Dons striker now says there was no leadership from chairman Stewart Milne and that the players resented him, his staff and their coaching methods.

And he maintains the club is also full of cliques and that Pittodrie is now gripped by a cold, unfriendly atmosphere.

However Calderwood, whose dismissal paved the way for McGhee to take charge at the club, admits he is stunned by the criticism of the club he still loves.

He said: "I am astounded by Mark's comments about Aberdeen. He inherited a decent legacy with the club in Europe and a willing and motivated group of players who had taken it there.

"There were a lot of strong characters in the dressing-room but never once in my five years there did I feel any resentment from any player.

"In my 190 games in charge, we won a lot more than we lost and always finished in the top half of the league. We also reached the last 32 in the UEFA Cup and couldn't have done all that unless the players were hungry, willing and committed.

"There were constant changes in the playing staff because were always trying to improve and the board was invariably supportive of my plans.

"The office staff were also absolutely magnificent. It was a wonderful, happy club where I would have been content to spend the rest of my career.

"I believe three cup semi-final defeats did for me although I have never been given a reason. That gnaws away at me, I wish Stewart Milne or Willie Miller would tell me and I'd get closure.

"As for Mark's sacking, he's been in the game long enough to know a manager lives or dies by results.

"Right from the start Aberdeen seemed to change - and not for the better.

"Every manager is entitled to work to his own agenda but it is wrong to blame the players because I know them better than their parents and every one was a good pro who would do his best.

"When you lose a game 9-0, you should know you are under pressure because that sort of result should never happen at a club like Aberdeen.

"It is a huge club and expectations are high. Mark came nowhere near meeting them and paid the price with his job."

 

I'm sorry, but Calderwood has missed the point completely here... of course there was "no resentment towards him" because they were his players. He purports to "know them better than their parents" yet denies there's a clique... haha, look up "oxymoron" in the dictionary, you thick Weegie cunt.

 

He says he'd have loved to "spend the rest of his career with AFC" and it's not difficult to see why... very low expectations, for one.

 

- The 4th biggest budget every year by a HUGE margin, yet no ambition beyond scraping into the Top 6 every year.

- Only 2 semi-finals in 10 Cup ventures, both of which were 4 goal defeats. Also three exits in three years to lower league sides.

- A squad of players who were, with a few exceptions, no more than adequate journeymen, etc. etc.

- Only 3 wins in our last 16 games.

 

Yes, a nice cushy number it was. Where is Jimmy now? On the brew, via Kilmarnock and Ross County. Sterling work!

 

He only "still loves" the Club because he is unemployed and wants to come back. If he had got that much-wanted move to England after the Euro run, or after the 4-2 defeat of Celtic, he would never have given us a second thought. You would all do well to remember that.

I'm sorry but that's simply not true.

 

He does actually still like the club, you could hear his total deflation on air after Mulgrew scored last Sunday, so he certainly holds some long-term affection for the Dons.

Love of Dons or gutted for his team not expanding their lead over them?
