Bold Rover Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) From Matt McGlone on X: Saddened to learn Jack McLean died this morning. Jack was a Legend and a Heraghty’s man. ‘A wee Goldie’ was his call sign for a nice Malt. I most probably wouldn’t have written my book ‘Emotionally Celtic’ had he not given me the belief and encouragement that I could do it The Subteranean Voltaire.

It already feels like a blockbuster ending to some of us. I've been sitting on the most fragile Dead Pool lead you can get since December 8th, and waiting to see if *any* pool picks (other than the ten survivors in my pool) cark it and deprive me of my lead (if just one person dies between now and Jan 1st, then out of the surviving 617 contenders, 516 of them land psv_killie with a win. Miguel has 11 chances of a one-hit win and I have 10). What's annoying is we're in the stages where it's getting increasingly likely that I might win. I estimate that the probabilities have crept up from 2% on December 8th to about 40-45% right now. The tension is racking up, and every new post in this thread twitches my blood pressure up by half a notch. If someone IS going to die before the bells, could they please get it over with quickly and save me the stress. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the sake of entertainment, I'd take the most outlandish combination of three to five deaths scoring to catapult some also ran into the throne! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once bumped into him at Meadowbank Stadium. He wasn't going to the football, he was off to cover the basketball. He fell down the steps of the Broomfield Main Stand once (probably refreshed) and wrote a column about how horrible Airdrie is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Jack McLean was named in the Leveson Inquiry as a contributing factor in the suicide of the brother of a murder victim after he had articles published that implied that she had it coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
