tup Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Morning folks My loon is doing his school project on Derek McInnes. I am looking to collate some facts, figures, and photos from his career, both as a player and as a manager. The more obscure the better. So if anyone has any decent stories, I'll be glad to hear them Link to comment
The Boofon Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Do they have to be true or can we make them up like you do with transfer gossip? 5 Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 He is an advocate of the ChutneyLove "Let's get 3-ply in the Soother" campaign. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 His Christian name sounds like the scaffold above the rotary table on an oil-rig that the top-drive works from. Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 He has a hatred of the people of Wick Link to comment
tup Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I'm hoping Derek McInnes himself will contribute to this thread. Link to comment
tup Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Do they have to be true or can we make them up like you do with transfer gossip? Has to be true min, it's for an 8 year old's project, nothing controversial thanks. I'm just looking for some facts that you might not find on Wikipedia. Link to comment
Sonoftherock Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Has to be true min, it's for an 8 year old's project, nothing controversial thanks. I'm just looking for some facts that you might not find on Wikipedia. Until their death, Derek was a rabid lifelong supporter of the Scottish football club known as 'Rangers (d. 2012)'.

I'm just looking for some facts that you might not find on Wikipedia. Keep in mind, the P4 teacher's knowledge of Derek McInnes will be slim, to none. so he can fabricate to increase interest.

Poodler Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I once saw him racially abuse the bog wog in soul so I guess he's right wing politically minded Link to comment
The Boofon Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 He arranged for @@ebbe to receive a signed Dons top for his 30th that was signed by every team member except Jamie Langfield. True story. Link to comment

E-P-K Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 How do you know that? The law of averages. Link to comment
tup Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Aye, but I'm competing on my loon's behalf against the others in the class, not trying to dazzle the teacher. This has to be the best personal project in the class. Link to comment
BrianFaePerth Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 He has a fetish for teachers, especially those that teach Primary School Link to comment
tup Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I think his management style is based on Allan McGraw's. Link to comment
reekie_dock Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I sat behind him at an balgownie once and can confirm he had cup of coffee and a pie....... True Story Link to comment
ollie1903 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 He was at Gleneagles with Tony Docherty and their wives on the last day of the Ryder Cup. So I presume he likes golf. Link to comment
tup Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Who is Tony Docherty and how come he and McInnes are such good pals? Link to comment
Tommy Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Who is Tony Docherty and how come he and McInnes are such good pals?He used to manage Man Utd. McInnes plays at Trump Balmedie and The Doc plays there too. Link to comment
tup Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 OK, but the project is not about Tony Docherty. I'm only interested in how he kens Derek McInnes. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 He had a big wife-swapping, car-keys in the bowl extravaganza to celebrate Europe's Ryder Cup triumph. He is kicking himself for not noticing beforehand that former team-mate Michael Mols was also joining in. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Derek McInnes would rather have a Turkish Delight than a Fry's Cream 5 centres. Probably, those 5 centres things are bowf. Link to comment
tup Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't want this to degenerate into a childish pisstake but it appears I am wasting my time. I'll get my facts elsewhere thanks. Link to comment
ChutneyLove Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Get your loon to call Pittodrie and ask to speak to Derek. I'm sure he could give 5 minutes of his close season to the wee man. Derek McInnes has size 12 shoes. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 His name is an anagram of "Screened Mink." Could be deemed as apt, given his history... Link to comment
