You don't have to stand up for yourself by issuing childish and snide statements no. However imo if Milne had any balls he'd be pursuing a case of tapping up against the huns through the authorities. If you lot are happy to let it slide then hey, ho. 😀 Unless of course that isn't actually how it all played out behind the scene... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing the debate that can start up from a simple  when you say you're leaving. Thought I was being polite. Been  at the Sheep lots over the last couple of weeks, so thought it only polite to do the same as you left You may be right. And I didn't say I was leaving the TAMB. So no waving required. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flure Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017  18 hours ago, slasher said: Not so much a statement but in a BBC interview he said the following... 'We've always had a very good relationship with Rangers, we'll work hard to make sure that we come through and relations are strengthened as we move forward. We all want to see a strong Rangers, we need that for Scottish football, and the sooner they fill their vacancy and get a good manager in and strengthen the whole set up, that's in the interests of Scottish football.' Sheepish in the extreme. That sounds to me a wee bit like..... "There's nothing like having a good run business - and Rangers are nothing like a good run business" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was how these things worked in fitba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably Dunfermline didn't pursue the "alleged" tapping claims for the same reasons Aberdeen didn't. "Alleged" in the sense that Calderwood spoke a considerable amount of shite on a considerably regular basis. At one stage in his tenure with Aberdeen "he had half of the championship teams in England after him". That worked out well for him when he was sacked! Just for the avoidance of doubt - on a slightly different but related issue (and in case you are implying some form of hypocrisy from Aberdeen), I haven't heard any Aberdeen fan complaining about losing players to Celtic or Rangers - most are well aware of the fact that we have stripped ICT bare over the years.

Personally? I'm happy DM has stayed. Make no mistake though, his job has just got a whole load harder by the way of how it was played out. Which was what I based my opinion on.
