Clearly I may be talking absolute sh*te but he doesn’t seem quite right and I hope he prioritises his health as it is not fair to put someone under that level of pressure, scrutiny and ultimately scorn and ridicule if they are are unwell. He looks more like an alky beetroot heed barely stringing a sentence together. Having an episode reads to me getting utterly smashed out his tits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jim died years ago. It's a reversible suit with the furry Sammy bear costume on one side and the bard of Kelty on the other. We pretend Andy Ryan is injured but he was taught to say "did you know I'm the last Dunfermline player to score a winning goal at Ibrox?" so now alternates between his Sammy/Jim personas when he's let out of his cupboard.

WeAreElgin Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I remember an interview McLeish had about 3-4 years ago, he looked like he could hardly string a sentence together. I was absolutely fucking shocked to see that he was given the Scotland job not long after that. Not to say that he should be ruled out solely because of his health, but how he ever ended up in consideration is beyond me. I feel sorry for the guy, he's the SFA's scapegoat and obviously has never had the players' backing. Yet another damaging episode for Scottish football.

Colkitto Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 It's been plain to see there seems to be an issue with McLeish's health. He struggles badly in interviews and the last bizarre statement of Scotland "starting well" when we were actually 2-0 down within 10 minutes typified that. Bringing him back was a lazy appointment by the blazers, and they should really walk too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, what? Pre-employment medical checks are pretty standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScarf Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Cove Rangers are one of the best run clubs in the country. Them being in tier 5 doesn't change that. They're ambitious, in a new ground and are desperate to play league football. A bizarre outburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolnHearts Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 This campaign is a write-off, so I hope the new man in uses it to try something different and not picking deadwood who will only fail us again in the 2022 WC qualifiers. Our slide down the rankings should be called negligence from our governing body. Our national sport is broken due to those running it. I do feel a bit sorry for McLeish, but it's clear he didn't have the players behind him. He should rightly be remembered and thought of as an Aberdeen legend and the man who pulled of a couple of momentous victories during his previous spell in charge. If there are any health issues, I hope he receives the best treatment available and makes a speedy recovery. Not clicked the link, but I hope Peter Grant has been removed from the set-up. Now there is an arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't, I'm quite happy to come across as a bawbag when it suits but your splurge was just total nonsense, you just sounded like a bitter fanny. Whether McLeish is showing some early signs of dementia(due to his line of work), some addiction issues or any other not yet discussed issue, his wages should have zero impact on the level of sympathy and compassion he receives from people.

If you read the original post, you would have seen that people were "feeling sorry" for him due to being booed by fans etc, the bottom line is that if you take a position which pays a Kings ransom then you have to take the rough with the smooth, by the same token, if he is ill and knew he was ill when taking the position, then he's basically defrauding the supporters as he must have known he couldn't do the job to the best of his ability due to illness.

Now there is an arsehole. There aren't that many players left to choose from, realistically. The worst players in the last two games are the younger ones who most folk have been clambering for: O'Donnell, McKenna, McGinn and Shinnie. If we're going to jettison those guys, you're talking about guys like Jason Naismith. The problem has been that the best players - for whatever reason - have been unavailable to McLeish.

AyrExile Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Let’s hope McLeish isn’t made the scapegoat that allows the SFA to wriggle away from more bad decision making. Very little will change until reform is made at the very top level. Like rugby and other sports the leaders need to start making decisions that benefit our game as a whole and not solely around individual allegiances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case anyone is in any doubt, this is around 20 times more than the national average for Scotland, meanwhile there's people with real problems such as trying to feed their families etc, so No, I don't feel in the least bit sorry for him as it comes with the job............. What a massive c**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
