John Findlay Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 In my opinion a very over-rated manager. Rangers aside. Motherwell- Zilch Hibernian- Zilch. Pumped 3-0 in Scottish Cup final were team registered one shot on goal by one Marc Libra(I think Marc was his first name). Scotland- Zilch. Yes he was a failure with Scotland despite what his bossom pals in the Scottish media will tell you. Got off very lightly(just like his predecessor did when he jumped ship) especially after the away defeat to Georgia/Moldova( I should know and I apologise for not) after the Ukraine win. Birmingham City- Zilch and it will stay zilch. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His disgusting "professional foul" on John Colquhoun in April 1986 that went a long way to costing us the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWL Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Another one is the Andy Davis affair, when the incident was shown again in front of McLeish and everyone and their granny could see nothing but a diving Greek, McLeish smugly stands there and says "Aye, theres a wee nudge there" spineless ****** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham City- Zilch and it will stay zilch. John My thoughts as well ? It says a lot about our expectation levels when we were in the running for the team of the year on the BBC Sports review programme and I think McLeish was also quoted as manager of the year. In the final analysis we only finished just ahead of Lithuania and that for me was a failure. On his appointment with Birmingham their chairman David Gold was drooling about how he compared favourably with Jose Mourinho and that whilst he was a wealthy man if he could only bottle what Big Eck had he would be even richer. Think those words will come back to haunt the slavering buffoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess The Crowd Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 They do say Wahnking too much makes you go blind! For Birmingham's last minute penalty yesterday (which TV replays showed clearly to be the wrong decision) their player rather theatrically threw himself to the ground. I'm sure Alex, however, said something along the lines of 'well, if the defender sticks a leg out he's running a risk'.... ...aye, just like Darren Fletcher in the Lithuania game, Alex.....

My allusion was to David Gold of sex-shop owning wealth, but that?s a fair comment about McLeish. He certainly was selective in what he saw in McFadden?s dive for a penalty a couple of weeks ago.

I also agree that Mr Gold seems somewhat deluded. I was just recalling Alex's hypocrisy after the Miko incident - as a player (as has been alluded to on this thread) he was prone to bending the odd rule as I recall....
