  1. E mail is now being sent out. Tested and worked fine for me
  2. Been concerned about your health for some time now, so go ahead, I'll put your health ahead of my pension
  3. For the avoidance of any doubt, can I just go on the record as stating that I really don't beleive there is even one grain of truth in this story. We couldn't be this stupid
  4. Fuck off.....ask nicely
  5. you have mail......sit down before opening
  6. Sorry padre, but this isn't the first time I've heard this. My younger son came home from school about a week ago and told me there was a rumour doing the rounds that we have made an enquiry about Kyle to Killie as a replacement for Miller. I won't bore you with the alleged fee, unless you want to still be laughing this time tomorrow. Suffice to say I found it so laughable that didn't bother to post it anywhere.
  7. Mmm, like the sound of going down for this one
  8. Was that by the Boss
  9. The Fortunes - You've Got Your Trouble (I've Got Mine).
  10. Should include Miller
  11. FatShaft there is no ongoing grudge against the Hat.My point was I thought pretty straightforward. Despite LS and BC campaigning for Dingus long before JC got his jotters, when it came to canvassing member's opinions and a democratic vote on Chat, it seems somewhat surprising that the gap was only four votes between first choice and second. Thats all mate
  12. Not here he wasn't http://www.thedandies.co.uk/messageboard/index.php?topic=8706.0;viewResults And somewhat surprisingly hardly an overwhelming favourite over on the the "hat" where he only polled four more votes than Eric Black despite site owners championing him as the returning prodigal son And for the avoidance of any doubt, I'm with Padre and Jay on this one
  13. No different to the rest of us then
  14. The Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle Still a great album. Hard to believe this was released thirty three years ago
  15. Aye thought that, sure the press were talking about an alleged offer of £750k or the likes. Unless he is now out of contract thats us out of the equation then.
  16. Yep. http://www.thedandies.co.uk/messageboard/index.php?topic=8941.30
  17. Aye he press seem to be saying nae chance of Hughes moving to us. Is the boy Reynolds the Motherwell player that the traiterous auld c**t was sniffing about last summer
  18. Unusual in my experience for a woman in that its all about sex
  19. Clarkson, Klimpl [ or fitever his name is ] Hughes - will they won't they Vidal - will he come back for a other season How much dosh will Willie/Wiggy give Dingus to spend Will we all get tickets for games next season or do we need someone to get out the button Who'll take Derek Dung off our hands That'll do for me for just now. Sense sleepless nights coming on That'll do for starters for me
  20. Waiting for you to get your arse oot of bed and down to Pittodrie for the conference
  21. Taken from MFC official site. Nice last paragragh from them Mark McGhee was today unveiled as the new Aberdeen boss, returning to the club where he made his name as a player. Here we look back at his time in charge of the club where he made his name as a manager. McGhee joined Motherwell in June 2007, succeeding Maurice Malpas, who resigned after just one ill-fated season in charge. The Steelmen had narrowly avoided relegation, finishing just six points ahead of Dunfermline. He was given the task of taking the club forward, but the success that followed surpassed even his expectations. In his first season, McGhee led the club to third in the table, the highest league finish for thirteen years. He transformed the team from relegation candidates to European challengers. Players who had struggled under the previous regime were revitalised, flourishing under the new boss. His attractive brand of stylish, attacking football not only caught the imagination of the fans, but those in the Hampden offices. McGhee was named SPL Manager of the Month for November 2007 and subsequently shortlisted for the vacant Scotland job. But it’s not just his management skills that won him plaudits at Fir Park. The way he has handled himself, under extraordinary circumstances with Phil O'Donnell's tragic death, were evidence to his real abilities. Few would have wanted any of the emotional and managerial challenges McGhee unexpectedly faced but he successfully led the club through adversity and the third-place finish was a fitting tribute to the former captain. It was a terrific achievement for the Motherwell boss and his success inevitably attracted suitors. He was approached for the Hearts job in the summer and looked set to take over the hot seat at Tynecastle before an eleventh-hour u-turn, deciding to remain at Fir Park to take the team back into Europe. The Uefa Cup campaign was a brief one though, with the Steelmen losing out to French side AS Nancy in the first round of the competition. Those games typified a frustrating second season in which the team narrowly missed out on the top-six. But qualification for Europe was again achieved via the Fair Play League, acknowledgement of the discipline McGhee has installed in the players. While his second year in charge failed to match the heights of the first, there were still plenty of memorable moments, such as the nine game unbeaten league run which set a new club record and earned the boss another Manager of the Month award. The end of the campaign brought fresh speculation about his future, having been recommended for the Celtic job by departing manager Gordon Strachan. But it was Aberdeen who secured his services after lengthy negotiations with their former striker. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Mark for his contribution during his time at Motherwell and we wish him every success at Pittodrie.
