Deanburn Dave Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 26 minutes ago, To B or not B said: Interesting Not really. You can train on a pitch that has a few puddles of water but you know that a referee is not letting a game start if there are puddles stopping the ball bouncing. Nothing to see here, move on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossilYM Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) Success needs to be quantified. EK have won the league before and went the playoffs before and failed. I'm also not convinced that the club have the backing of the town. The average seems lower than Pollok. Edited April 2 by PossilYM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Rage Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Good to see Mick jumping on twitter to highlight why folk think he's a bit of a banger just as it's brought up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oystercatcher Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Aye because if your own teams game was called off for a waterlogged pitch then you heard the team were training on it you'd not ask any questions? If you're going to hate on the guy, be it for something tangible. all i can say is poor groundstaff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of things happen in football that other’s dont like, Maybe explains the previous posts about why people don’t like MK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to hate on the guy, be it for something tangible. all i can say is poor groundstaff. It happens all the time - most recently with Dundee who did the same after their game v Aberdeen was called off. All it takes is a small patch to be waterlogged for the game to be off, it doesn't mean the team can't do shuttle runs on the other side of the park. If it can happen at the top flight, Mick shouldn't be shocked that it might also happen in the Lowland League. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you're surprised when people don't like him. Because its social media, it's a nonsense, it's actually really easy to ignore, but that wouldn't sit with the narrative that he's a bad guy. If you don't like it don't engage with it. Maybe it's my fault, I'm maybe thinking that the posters on here are ages with myself and i can't grasp why they're getting their knickers in a twist about some guy who doesn't impact their lives one iota unless they had a chicken burger that didn't agree with them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is that you're defending a guy who actively seeks attention, probably regardless of what form that takes, due to his massive ego. He gets exactly what he wants so he'll be happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokerson Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Not sure why the EK fans on here cant understand why people don't like him. His tweet on saturday about players being out injured and suspended before the game as some sort of excuse is a bit embarrassing, then this crap about albion rovers training, albion can frankly train where and when they want, what does it have to do with him, he never really gives the opposition any credit despite any team that beats them having a tiny fraction of a budget he has. This on top of the whole soldiers of love caper from last year. Don't have any evidence to say he is a bad guy but a complete weirdo for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i do find it strange how he seems to get under the skin of so many grown men based on throw away comments and shite patter on twitter. Its bizzare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man in his mid-40's that dresses like a 13 year old, is terminally online, and seems to have no discernible talent other than having the financial means to surround himself with people who have the required skills. He's not a 'bad guy' or that, just incredibly irritating. He looks like he lives off Elf Bars and Prime. He's basically a Scottish Lower League version of Wayne Lineker. Like someone read a book called 'What will rub most people up the wrong way' and built him in a lab. I also have to caveat this with the fact that I've met him several times and played against his Colville Park team and he's been brand new. Genuinely sound as f**k. He obviously knows the way he presents himself gets a reaction and annoys folk and he leans into it. I cannot imagine why he'd want to take a job in the leagues. I said this when he was being touted (clearly by himself) for the Clyde job. He'd get found out rapid. EK's method this season has been extraordinary. I read somewhere that they've used almost 40 players. That can almost be excused if injuries have meant that he's had to dig in to the youth academy, but with every injury it seems like they've just went out and bought someone else. You just can't do that at a team like Clyde, or any team in the SPFL for that matter. EK's season has basically played out like a joke, like some kind of hyper-Darvel. With all that in mind, I'd absolutely love to see EK go up this season (although PLEASE not at the expense of Clyde ffs). It'd be like some kind of social experiment. I'm absolutely dying to see what MK does when he simply doesn't have unlimited resources.
