I don't even care who it is. I'm just glad I can go back to the football.

If David Cameron can get back into the cabinet without being an MP, Yogi Hughes can get a job at the top table of Scottish Football. He has my vote

I'm exasperated that some County fans are actually still trotting out the strawman Martindale argument and 'private group' nonsense to defend a failed football manager. He's not even employed by Count

f**k that, I'd far rather an experienced manager, with strong links to league 1 in England, especially London clubs. We've got 3 flights a day from Inverness to London, Ross County do well getting players wanting to make a name for themselves, up from those areas. 

Scottish central belt players tend to be way overrated, demand too much wages and then say they're homesick for a bottle of ginger once they get found out to be nowhere as good as their reputation. 

Imo Brown going to maybe attract a celtic youth player to sign for us but that's not good enough imo. He's also zero track record of developing players either.

Do you no sell bottles of ginger in Dingle Bay?

I believe the only one of the quoted texts actually sent by MM were in relation to the South Korean player. 

I believe that there was an anti semitic text about a Jewish agent, a misogynistic text about a female agent, a racist text about a group of potential signings, pretty sure there was a homophobic one too.

There were all of those, but none of them were sent by Mackay.

He admitted to 3 texts and the following were quoted at the time but I've no idea which 3 he was admitting to 

"Go on, fat Phil. Nothing like a Jew that sees money slipping through his fingers.” – On football agent Phil Smith.

"He's a snake, a gay snake. Not to be trusted.” – Referring to an official at another club.

"Not many white faces amongst that lot but worth considering.” – Referring to a list of potential signings.

"Fkn chinkys.” “Fk it. There’s enough dogs in Cardiff for us all to go around.” – Referring to Cardiff midfielder Kim Bo-Kyung

"I hope she's looking after your needs. I bet you'd love a bounce on her falsies." – Referring to a player's female agent.

The two messages relating to Kim Bo-Kyung are the only two the Daily Mail attribute to Mackay. I think it's safe to say if any of the others came from him the DM would have attributed them too. 

I don't know if you're trying to defend him here/semi-absolve him or not (apologies if not but it's coming across that way), but who sent them is fairly immaterial. He is accountable for typing some of them, and also reading, condoning and playing along with the others. A man in his position, and indeed any decent man, should never be making those kind of comments and should be immediately calling out the others. Shameful.

They are not defending him, they are outlining the facts as they see it. 
 

Who sent them is absolutely not immaterial, and probably why he was never formally charged.

The reason he was never charged by the FA was because they concluded messages sent "with a legitimate expectation of privacy" were outside their jurisdiction. The incident did, however, prompt them to review their policies.

I meant in a criminal capacity. Unlike Martindale.

I'm not at all sure that I buy into the idea that public atonement is something that is a prerequisite to a mindset and behavioural change for the better.

I'm not particularly aware of any high profile god fearing Highland football club owner seeking to share the story of when their flesh was weak and endeavouring to be a better person.

He admitted to 3 himself.

Defending MalKKKy is a weird hill to die on, a misogynistic racist with no place in football. 

Well yes, but if we’re going to be fair to people accused of things, we have to be fair to arseholes like Malky.  Accusing him of things he didn’t do detracts from what he actually did do - which should have prevented him ever being appointed by themselves. 
 

On his replacement, I have heard nothing to suggest it won’t be Don Cowie.   Who… isn’t Mackay.
