However he has apologised and evidently realises his tweet was shite, McPake doesn't need to accept this apology, however maybe he shouldn't be searching his name on twitter after a few jars. McPake doesn't come across well there IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I'd do the same, if not more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 McPake is absolutely right in his responses. It's about time people realise that the shite they write in public isn't the same as what might be seen as a silly comment in private between mates. If the lad is 16 maybe it's a lesson for him and everyone else that age to be careful on social media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the guy didn't realise quite how young his kids were and I'm glad to see him apologise, McPake is well within his rights, and would be perfectly understandably, to tell the lad to beat it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Safe to assume the wee guy probably didn’t know how young his kids were- I’d say the intent of the initial tweet was meant to be funny but it’s just gone horribly wrong. Good lesson for the guy to learn as he seems genuinely awful for it. McPake is understandably fucking raging about it and would do well to not go on about it any more than he has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Perhaps McPake shouldn’t have responded. But that’s easy to say as an outsider. As he said in his tweet, his kids are young. I would imagine that, in a few years, there’s a good chance they’ll start using social media. Should he be having to worry about his young children seeing tweets like that? I think this is part of the problem with the likes of Twitter. That kid is posting anonymously and thinks he can say whatever he wants. If his name and photo were attached to his profile, there’s not a chance he would be posting that kind of thing. Also, McCann came on as a winger. Can’t imagine Todorov going up and down the left wing ffs. I’m sure Todorov would have been on, if we didn’t have so many enforced substitutions in other positions. McPake and Mackay have both said in interviews that if we need a goal late on, they want Todorov in the box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I see McPake has now deleted his Twitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Aye the original tweet was poor but he clearly didn't think about how old McPake is or how old his kids would be. The original reply was justified but after the guy apologised (and its hard to tell tone from a tweet of course, but it reads as if its genuine and heart felt) its clear it wasn't intended to be anything really nasty. Glad it's been deleted now but do think that players and managers should be encouraged to stay off social media after games and/or not reply to comments. Not just for things like this, but when laughing at other clubs or whatever they can get dragged up years later if they sign for said club or whatever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, agreed, have never really understood why footballers and managers have accounts as there's just too many fannies and scumbags who will use it to abuse them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that does then mean that we can indeed win the league in Grangemouth should we win the next three and they lose the next three (with the third game for each team being the one in Grangemouth). In fact in that scenario a draw would see us win the league (we'd go 16 clear with 15 points available after). Like I said though, that's pretty unlikely. Can't see Falkirk losing twice and think next Saturday will be a tough game. Still, would be nice if it happened! Think you're forgetting that Falkirk would also get a point if there was a draw between us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Mental our top scorer in the league has 8 goals. Something which 100% needs addressed in the summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Hara and Tordorov to leave? Do we go and get someone a bit left field or get Agyeman from Kelty who hasn't exactly been scoring for fun but should be better with better service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Our strikers are the biggest confusion I have with our squad. Each of them have something, none of them have enough of everything and they are absolutely not prolific in any sense. But I like all of them in one way or another. I want McCann to wake up one day and have clicked into gear and everything come together because he's a unit, pretty quick, decent feet, tall and will literally run through people but....it doesn't work. Why not?! Edit: To clarify im not on a downer here after the weekend, just a topic of discussion. Top of the League, looking....down on the Falkirk....etc. Edited March 19, 2023 by Stoo61 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top of the League, looking....down on the Falkirk....etc. totally agree with you, i think you could make an argument for all 4 of them to be punted next year without too much of a whine. Wighton and McCann I’d keep, Ohara and Todorov if they were to move on then I wouldn’t be too fussed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I'd give McCann a run in the team ya know. Can't be good for any striker, at this level especially, to be in and out and we have done that with all of them pretty much. Wighton has had a run now of course. Straight swap, McCann for Wighton for a good run of games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Mccann the only one under contract for next season, the other 3 all out of contract. I'd not be upset if none of them got offered new deals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
