HoBNob Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wowee, he managed to keep Kilmarnock and Ross County up ahead of the rancid Falkirk and Cowden teams respectively. A remarkable success. Dont know about Dunfermline, but you only need to look at the transfer budget he was given at Aberdeen. He also had a golden chance against an average Queen of the South team to reach a national final. And yet a success, he came in and done the job that was asked off him. Cowdenbeath were not really rancid at all, they certainly made Raith sweat a couple of times from what I remember, if it wasn't for that winter period where there squad didn't train they might have survived, it could be argued all McGlynn has to do is keep you up over a rancid Ayr and Queens side... And he also took Aberdeen to the knock out stages of the Europa league,drawing with Bayern Munich at Pittodrie before getting beat in Germany. Celtic couldn't manage to make it past the group stages, to try judge him in one game where Queens played out of there skins would be incredibly silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being honest, Aberdeen shouldnt have ever sacked Calderwood. But thats a different job. He did a good job at Pittodrie, but he had the funds to do so. Perhaps rancid is a bit strong, but I would certainly suggest that Calderwood did the absolute bare minimum that you would expect with Kille and County given the resources. Nothing remarkable anyway. We dont have money. To appoint Calderwood would involve sacking our current manager, paying compensation, and then paying Calderwoods wages. All this for a manager who is unproven without a hefty transfer budget. Plus, as Yoss said, the guy is a total and utter root. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 It's irrelevant, for many reasons, but chiefly because Calderwood wouldn't lower himself. He left Ross County because they wouldn't give him enough money to spend, and they're a damn sight more flush than we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Something to ponder. With the sheer amount of cash that County are flashing about, just how much cash did Calderwood ask for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Something to ponder. With the sheer amount of cash that County are flashing about, just how much cash did Calderwood ask for? There was apparently more to the story. He was allegedly never complimentary about the club and wasn't popular within the corridors of power. FWIW, 8 players left and 8 arrived this season so I imagine that he probably wanted a bit more cash than that. That's before we discuss his (probably) ludicrous wage demands.

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 He was allegedly never complimentary about the club and wasn't popular within the corridors of power. Ross County - "Jimmy, why do you never compliment me?" Jimmy Calderwood - "I just... I just feel that I could have done better. THERE! That's the truth. Let's face it, you're no Aberdeen, are you?" Ross County - *Uncontrollable sobbing* "Get out, GET OUT! You spend all of my money and then tell me I'm worse than Aberdeen?! I HATE you! I'm going back to Derek Adams!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernLights Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) I'm trying to see matches at grounds I've never visited before. So far this season I've been to Dunfermline, Montrose and Forfar for the first time. We're away to St Mirren on the 25th of February and its an early kick off so I've decided to head down to Kirkcaldy to tick Stark's Park off the list of grounds. Just wondering what is the best stand to sit in as a neutral? Edited January 15, 2012 by NorthernLights 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 South Stand (home end behind the goals) is where most fans head to. You'll be able to get a decent seat no bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 For train and ship spotting, the North stand is rather good apparently. Outwith that, we have some cracking macaroni pies in the South Stand, and hopefully Rovers can keep up their creative streak they seem to have hit and make a few chances/goals and keep the natives peaceful. If not, expect a venomous atmosphere. Still, definitely worth making the trip down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
