Liam Fox is now out in front spot for the Dundee United job as the club hope to appoint a new boss before the international break.
Tam McManus called for sense as a sea of sectarianism and sickening behaviour threatens to drown our game again. The former Hibs striker and now Record Sport pundit wrote in his column the fumes of alcohol are fanning the filth in Scottish football and that every club should follow his old one in calling out their own fans. Something Al Connolly, Muirend, Glasgow , wholeheartedly agreed with. He said: “Well said, Tam. Hibs have problems with their own support but the club acknowledged this. It’s time every other team did the same – from Rangers to Celtic, Hearts – and the rest.” Now for this impassioned address from Scott Scott, Grassmoor: “I still walk down Easter Road and Edmiston Drive being abused verbally as a ‘dirty fenian b******’. So rather than belittling Hibs for wanting to rid our game of all morons, why not help them turn our country into a modern all encompassing society that welcomes all faiths, colours and sects? To do nothing is cowardly and inexcusable. It’s 2024 not 1690.”
The Gospel According to Saint Tam McManus does sometimes contain some hard truths.
T he phrase was as common as it was needless. “I’m sorry, I don’t want to keep you back from anything …” Craig Brown never was holding this or any other journalist away from something more important than the extended insight being offered into football matters of the 1960s, 2000s or anywhere else in between.
O n 15 May 1983, Eamonn Bannon should have been part of Dundee United’s squad at a civic reception. This extraordinary team under an extraordinary manager, Jim McLean, had won the Scottish Premier Division a day earlier. Bannon scored United’s second goal in a 2-1 win at the home of Dundee, United’s great rivals. “The real shame is it will never be repeated,” Bannon says. “Unless Dundee United are bought by a Middle Eastern country.”
Football fans need no excuse to feel like second class citizens but the decision by the SFA to shunt the Scottish Cup Final forward to avoid a clash with the FA Cup Final continues to cause unrestrained fury.
You'll be well aware of his work.
Kevin Gallacher spent seven years at Dundee United at a time when the manager had 100 per cent control of how the entire club was run.
It used to be the most secure seat in Scottish football. Now the manager’s chair at Tannadice comes with an ejector button.
