Kowalski Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Well I hope he was spat on (not because he deserved to be - nobody does), because if he wasn't then that means he's lied and it's all over the BBC and Sky Sports websites. Quote

Jim Spence said he walked behind McGhee down the touchline and never seen anyone spitting. Quote
glasgow sheep Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 I suspect that someone was so upset that in the process of shouting some "constructive advice" at MM so phlegm flew on his direction.....that however doesn't make a good story Quote
Mentorred Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Maybe it was not spit, Maybe someone did a migs from Silence of the Lambs on him Quote
mizer Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Just saw him walk down the line on BBC Scotland news, as I thought no sign of anyone spitting. Quite a lot of people applauding him. Quote
Kowalski Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Surely there was fuck all to applaud last night? Quote
mizer Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Surely there was fuck all to applaud last night? You been on the hat or mad today? Quote
Kowalski Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 You been on the hat or mad today? Nope? Quote
mizer Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Nope? Well dont, its like walking into a parallel universe! Quote
BigAl Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Surely there was fuck all to applaud last night? Could have been sarcasm Quote
CtS Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 These are fairly serious allegations against (at least) one of our supporters from our own manager. He doesn't want a police investigation? Well there must at least be an enquiry, and as supporters who've collectively had our name dragged through the mud today on news chanels and in news papers, we deserve to find out the truth. Was he spat at? And if he was why is there no tv footage or picture evidence to prove it? or Was he not spat at? And did he make the whole thing up in the heat of the moment? Either a disgusting act which should be punished by the club, or a disgusting lie from a man who should have known today would be hard enough for dons fans without all this shite. I want to know the truth. Quote
BigAl Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Somewhat sceptical about the whole spitting thing. No tv evidence, no photographic evidence, despite the cameras being on him going down the touchline. I can only speak personally, but if I was Dingus and someone DID spit on me then the fucker wouldn't be getting away scot free. Could McGhee be exaggerating events to deflect away from the result and performance of the team. Somewhat worrying if he has on a couple of counts. Firstly we are national news over this.....it was even on the sport news on radio 2 tonight, and secondly if he'd lie to the fans over something like this, then what else would he lie over Quote
Goldie03 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Maybe it was not spit, Maybe someone did a migs from Silence of the Lambs on him There surely couldn't have been any dons fan in the stadium that could have managed that after watching that performance Enough already about the spitting I don't believe for a minute that it happened intentionally it was obviously some guy or girl foaming at the mouth with anger Quote

Goldie03 Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Is there something you want to confess to? I wasn't there I was watching the women's luge on tv and listening to that pathetic game on the radio Quote
rocknroll Posted February 17, 2010 Report Posted February 17, 2010 Think McGhee has tried to be smart with the spitting incident and just said it to get some of the pressure off him. Quote
Mentorred Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 Think McGhee has tried to be smart with the spitting incident and just said it to get some of the pressure off him. If that's true then that's twice he has made up stories to the press. Quote
tsr Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 What was the other one? Hegarty wasn't made up, he just used a random name to illustrate a point about being able to handle folk trying to wind you p. Quote
Mentorred Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 What was the other one? Hegarty wasn't made up, he just used a random name to illustrate a point about being able to handle folk trying to wind you p. Still made himself look a bit of a twat. Quote
Jute Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 What was the other one? Hegarty wasn't made up, he just used a random name to illustrate a point about being able to handle folk trying to wind you p. So he made it up then. Quote
Slim Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 His quote about Aberdonians being cold towards him is made up too, I refuse to believe that was the truth. Quote
RDU_64 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 His quote about Aberdonians being cold towards him is made up too, I refuse to believe that was the truth. Much like I refuse to believe that Aberdonians are known to be as tight as a ducks arse. Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 His quote about Aberdonians being cold towards him is made up too, I refuse to believe that was the truth. I'm not sure about it not being the truth, I think the context is important here. When he said it, I got the impression that he was kinda saying "The fans see me as a legend but even that hasn't made me immune from criticism or hasn't bought me time" and nor should it. Mark McGhee was a wonderful player for Aberdeen, but there has to be a concession on his part that a lot of the regulars at Pittodrie, and a lot of the contributors to websites such as this one will have no recollection of him as a player for us other than what they see on DVDs and so they don't feel the emotional attachment some other fans may have with him.

I agree, its the context of what he was saying, he wasn't saying Aberdonians are cold to him but just saying folk weren't coming up to him declaring him as some kind of messiah. Quote
