Sharpie Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 http://www.thisisnorthscotland.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=149213&command=displayContent&sourceNode=149206&contentPK=19060665&folderPk=85709&pNodeId=149229 Jimmy says McNamara is free to go should he get a management job offer. I think that's probably about right as it hasn't really happened for him at Aberdeen for one reason or another and it would free up his not unsubstantial salary for someone else who could hopefully make an impact.

mizer Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 Not set the heather alight and seen him getting skinned quite a few times by crap but fast players..... Quote
Superstar Tradesman Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 It's his distribution that's shocked me the most. There's no excuse for not being able to pass to a team mate. Quote
Ajja Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 If he keeps offering what he has so far then let him go. Free up the cash for another player. Quote
Cowie Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 Seems a bit of a shame, but if he isn't doing the business then there is no point in holding on to him. I would have thought that his experience alone would have been very usefull in keeping the defence tight this season (more so with anderson leaving), however that hasn't been the case and as pointed out before he seriously lacks pace and seems to have lost his passing ability - in the end the wages dont justify the end product...... unfortunately this seems to be too often the case with AFC.

The Doricle Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 He can go any time he likes as far as i'm concerned. He's been very poor and his passing has been especially shocking. Doesn't look up for it at all. And god knows what wages he's commanding, but on his displays so far it's way too much. I had higher hopes for him when he came, despite him apparently being poor at wolves, but now quite frankly, i'd be happy to see the back of him. Quote

I'm also extremely disappointed with Jackie mac, andf share the view that if only for the benefit of passing on experience I thought he was a good signing.... unfortunately just not happened though Quote
Mackie's ace! Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 I'm also extremely disappointed with Jackie mac, andf share the view that if only for the benefit of passing on experience I thought he was a good signing.... unfortunately just not happened though I agree with you Al, and what others have said. Was reasonably excited at the prospect of him coming in but hasn't offered much and isn't even a guaranteed start which I guess says it all. Also I'm concerned about his lifestyle - bdb saw him blazing in Largs a couple of times, and the last two Saturdays he's been spotted out in Stirling (with Miller and others) and the previous week the Griffin in Glasgow. Would have expected Jackie Mac to be more 'professional'. Maybe I'm just being harsh on him but he has been a disappointment this season. Do you think St Johnstone are interested in him or just Jimmy hypothesising? Quote
glasgow sheep Posted November 24, 2007 Report Posted November 24, 2007 who the fuck is going to give him a managers job? Dunfermline are the only obvious ones. He has failed miserably at afc. Another "name" that has failed to live up to their reputation? Quote
Reekie_Red Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 We drastically need to STOP wasting our time and money with these has-beens such as McNamanamanamanamanamana, Brewster, Crawford, etc. We must start ploughing money into our youth system. Look at the Hibs youth system. It has basically brought them out of the red and they are now one of the few Scottish sides running in the black! And very much in the black too! Why? because they are nurturing their own talent, and then selling them for a fortune. When was the last player to come through our ranks with the smallest bit of talent? Bagshaw! And what did we do with him? Released him! Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 Pretty much a done deal that he's going to killie in january. he also thinks JC is an "orange bastard" and that he's a shite manager. This has come from the player himself. Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 Real pity this hasn't worked out, had (overly probably) high hopes but better to get shot if both parties are that un-enamered with each other. Very disappointing. Quote

This has come from the player himself. Why the fuck did he sign for us then? Just to bleed us for money? Cheers Jackie, you won't be missed. Quote

This has come from the player himself. He's certainly right about his colour, and not too far wrong with his other opinion. He's another player that seems to be affa injury prone. Quote
Huck the Funs Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 he also thinks JC is an "orange bastard" and that he's a shite manager he didn't know that before he came? Quote
Huck the Funs Posted November 25, 2007 Report Posted November 25, 2007 When was the last player to come through our ranks with the smallest bit of talent? Bagshaw! And what did we do with him? Released him! do you not live in new zealand or australia? i have no idea about the ability of bagshaw, i've read/heard that he's nae bad from some, shite from others, i'm just wondering how you know his ability Quote
Reekie_Red Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 New Zealand. Does that make a single bit of difference when a number of regulars on DT used to go to the youth matches and brag about his ability? I haven't seen him with my own eyes, but the wonder that is the internet allows people on the other side of the world to see, hear and read about things that happen in and around Aberdeen. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted November 26, 2007 Report Posted November 26, 2007 He has failed miserably at afc. Another "name" that has failed to live up to their reputation? Hmmm, could it be we're being looked at as an easy "last pay-day" for retiring fitba players? Quote
