The "journalist" probably bumped into him in a beer garden, during the week. Just before the 3 hour slot was up. Terry Christie had his lucky couple of seasons with Ferranti Thistle, didn't interview well enough to get a bigger football job, and disappeared back into nowhere again.

Genuinely no idea and I don’t click bait that papers website sorry. He used to manage Meadowbank Thistle and latterly Alloa. He managed these jobs while trousering his not insignificant salary as Head teacher at Musselburgh High. While the teachers and pupils were working and studying at school Terry was off work early to take training and travel all over Scotland to midweek away games. Nice work if you can get it probably earned more cash than most of the Premier league managers. No wonder he didn't want to manage a big team. My stepson did a six week placement at Musselburgh High when training to be a teacher. Needless to say he didn't meet Mr Christie once.

According to the UK governments's own statistics, the infection rate in England is over 30% higher than in Scotland (444.6 per 100k versus 337.3) and the death rate is more than 55% higher (71.8 per 100k versus 45.8). And the gaps are growing daily. In now way whatsoever could those differences be described as "tiny". Well said. Amazing the amount of rubbish that gets posted and people actually believe it.

The SPFL board are currently asking for the powers to make such a decision without recourse to the clubs! What has been going on in Scottish football is nothing short of scandalous. Worst case scenario....what if this happened and we decided *** it can’t be arsed playing competitive games whilst risking injuries to players and, we withdraw from competitive football for a season, after all there is no incentive to compete. I would assume we would be punished/expelled. But, the decision of no promotions has not been written into next season yet and, if they want to write that into the rules surly it would need to be voted through, they can’t just change the rules clan they?

Craig Herbertson Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Mr Christie was appointed as one of the deputy heads at Portobello in the 1970's. His debutante speech was a dull uninspiring address and finished with something like 'If I have used any words that are too big for you please let me know". I remember not noticing any big words. I'm not sure anyone at school saw him after that but my neighbour says he was a decent guy as a trainer.

His ‘piece’ the week before showed he’s just another bitter wee hibby troll trying to make some noise. The last thing him and his ilk want is for us to be proven right, hence the”move on” and “throwing toys out the pram” nonsense. While these people are best ignored I’ll be interested to hear what all the ‘fitbaw people’ like Terry have to say if it’s found that the SPFL have acted unlawfully.
