Yeah, so we're agreed that he is a hun. None of the other stuff was mentioned in the post to which I responded, so I'm still not sure what the issue was with my post.

To deflect from the McInness/Hun chat a bit... Billy Stark is the new East Kilbride manager

Wasn't Calderwood manager of Aberdeen the time they beat Oldco on the last day of the season to help us win the title? I'm sure he was yet his name also crops up routinely when folk talk of managers lying down to them. |

He was indeed and I thought about that prior to posting. Perhaps his players disobeyed him. TEG was right! |

In all seriousness I'm not sure what measures a manager could take to put a "lying down" into effect. Bad tactics,picking a weakened side,demotivating? It would have to be something less than blatant. I'm sure professional players would not actively lie down. |

Exactly. If a manager picked a severely weakened team it would be obvious. And if he told his players to lie down, all it would take is one player to break ranks and tell the press and the whole thing would blow up. |

He was, however as we beat Dundee Utd the hun result was not relevant. He was also the manager when Dunfermline rolled up at Ibrox back in 2003. Calderwood used to drink in my local back then, I got to know him fairly well. |

It would have been relevant if the score was 5-0 or better as it would have come down to goal difference. |

It's more the vibe the manager gives off to his players that is likely to impact the performance. More of a, "Go out there and enjoy yourselves, boys!" encouragement, rather than a "must win" attitude. Calderwood himself said he was just there to enjoy the occasion that day at Ibrox, and made some comment about his father killing him if his side upset Rangers that day. Compare and contrast that with Jim Jeffries' Kilmarnock side that day. Even when we were gubbing them, and they were totally out of the game - they were time-wasting and putting the ball out of the stadium for no apparent reason. Martin O'Neill's comments on how bizarre this way, were brilliant. |

A late friend of mine was good pals with Jimmy Nichol. As the season neared its end and the race got tighter, Nichol had no qualms about telling my mate: "If Rangers need goals, they'll get goals." He wasn't kidding and he said it several times. On the last day of the season, my mhate told me Dunfermline would ship six and we'd have to score six at Kilmarnock. Sadly, be was right. TBF, Craig Brewster equalised at Ibrox and the game was tight until it became clear that we were hammering Kilmarnock. It was then that Dunfermline got out their spades and pails.

How does that manifest itself in practice though? For Dunfermline to deliberately "ship six" would require eleven players (plus substitutes) to collude to concede six goals. I just don't see how that kind of thing would be practical. |
