El Padre™ Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 I think he was being a bit over-sensitive and to be honest shouldn't have discussed it on the radio as all he has done is let them know that they got to him. Some of the stuff they were singing at him was bit OTT but for fox's glaciers mints, it's football, you don't expect to live in a world where everything is candy coated and people love you everywhere you go. Get over it Mark. Quote
dave_min Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 What'd he say. Some of the stuff getting sung was pretty harsh I thought. Also, those damn Motherwell fans all had a go at me as I went to try get my pie They were in fine voice throughout the game, out support was pish. Quote
willie_millers-barmyarmy Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 In fairness Mcghee was manager of their club during a pretty hard spell, and he handled it well amazingly well...probably half the reason he was linked with the scotland job, and the celtic job. but then on the other hand it is football!.....and im sure theirs been harsher things sung!

El Padre™ Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Posted August 29, 2009 What did they sing? They were calling him a paedophile. Mcghee said on the radio he was very upset and disgusted by it. Suck it up Mark, you're a big boy. Quote
dave_min Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 What did they sing? They had many songs suggesting that McGhee was a paedofile? That he'll never get to celtic He is a celtic reject That he's just a shite Tony Mowbray. Can't think of much more. Quote
tom_widdows Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 Also, those damn Motherwell fans all had a go at me as I went to try get my pie Was this pie in a hard to reach place? Did a big boy snatch it from you and make you jump? Quote
mizer Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 They were calling him a paedophile He does have that look Quote
dave_min Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 Was this pie in a hard to reach place? Did a big boy snatch it from you and make you jump? Believe it or not, it was in the pie stand Quote
tom_widdows Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 Believe it or not, it was in the pie stand Which beggars the question why did they find your atempted purchase of a pastry wrapped meat product so amusing? Quote
Kowalski Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 They had many songs suggesting that McGhee was a paedofile? That he'll never get to celtic He is a celtic reject That he's just a shite Tony Mowbray. Can't think of much more. They also sung "There's only one Jim Leighton" which raised a smile. Quote
Slim Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 They were calling him a paedophile. Mcghee said on the radio he was very upset and disgusted by it. Suck it up Mark, you're a big boy. That's not exactly how it was. He was asked a specific question about it and said he was disappointed by the nature of it. A calm and reasonable response to the question I thought. Quote

A calm and reasonable response to the question I thought. He said he was disgusted in more than one interview slim. He shouldn't even have discussed it. He needs to engage the brain before using the mouth. Quote
minijc Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 He said he was disgusted in more than one interview slim. He shouldn't even have discussed it. He needs to engage the brain before using the mouth. Why? he was asked about it, atleast he has the balls to speak about it, most managers would sidestep it and brush it under the carpet. Quote
El Padre™ Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Posted August 30, 2009 Why? he was asked about it, atleast he has the balls to speak about it, most managers would sidestep it and brush it under the carpet. By giving it airtime he's letting the Motherwell fans know they got to him, its got fuck all to do with having balls. Quote
Andrew Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 What'd he say. Some of the stuff getting sung was pretty harsh I thought. Also, those damn Motherwell fans all had a go at me as I went to try get my pie They were in fine voice throughout the game, out support was pish. The haggis pie was amazing though. Quote
dave_min Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 Which beggars the question why did they find your atempted purchase of a pastry wrapped meat product so amusing? I asked myself the very same question. Quote
Mentorred Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 Can't be any worse than what we used to sing to Michael Mols or Richard Gough. Man up Mark and just take it, it's all part and parcel of football. Quote
Sandaldinho Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 well done Mark, just wait till we go to Motherwell, you'll really know about it then Quote
mizer Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 The haggis pie was amazing though. Haggis pie? Quote
amp Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Why were they calling him a paedophile? Quote
Guest fatshaft Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 By giving it airtime he's letting the Motherwell fans know they got to him, its got fuck all to do with having balls. What a load of shite. He was asked about it and gave a straight answer. Quote
El Padre™ Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Posted August 31, 2009 What a load of shite. He was asked about it and gave a straight answer. Just because he was asked about it doesn't mean he was obliged to dignify what happened with an answer. I've never in my life heard a manager comment on abuse from fans, yet it happens to every single one of them. Quote
Kowalski Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 Well face rap over chants to Aberdeen FC’s McGhee SPL to investigate sickening abuse By Ross McTavish Published: 31/08/2009 MOTHERWELL could be hit by SPL sanctions following sickening chants from a section of their fans directed at Aberdeen FC boss Mark McGhee. The abuse came in the goal-less draw at Aberdeen FC’s ground. It is understood that match delegate George Douglas will include the incidents in his report to the SPL. The matter will then be referred to the SPL board, which has the power to deal with unacceptable conduct through punishments including reprimands, fines and even points deductions.

For more on this story and bumper coverage of Aberdeen FC, pick up a copy of today's Evening Express. Seriously? Imagine any other SPL teams singing anything so vile and provocative, just as well such consistant and immediate punishment is handed out accross the board. What were the SPL expecting? The Motherwell fans to politely applaud the man who walked out of his contract early at their club and chant about how they wish him good luck in the rest of his career? It's football for fucks sake, and while the songs were in bad taste to say the least, its not like we've heard nothing of the sort ever before. Do the SPL have some sort of line drawn in the sand, something which devides acceptable levels of ridicule and 'banter' with unnacceptable abuse which must be sanctioned? If so I'd love to know where this lies as their system of reprimanding clubs seems far from fair and level. Quote
