So just to remind myself, I clicked on his name and read again through all 13 of his uniquely, monotonously bile-fuelled posts. Precisely nothing contributed to this forum.

What exactly does someone have to do to get banned from here?

You only really needed to read one.

Agree with this, although a thread about someone's death does seem to be a somewhat peculiar location to have such an exchange!
It is, but I think the vitreol expressed against Mackay well before the exchange surprised me.

But then I was only 6 when he left the club so have no real STFC based opinion of DM other than he was one of the all time Football League legends.

This is one of the rare occasions when a minute's applause is better than a minute's silence.  If you don't want to applaud, you don't applaud.  And no one minds.

detestible man. Was'nt it Mackay who racked up £500 a week bills at the Blunsdon Hotel?  This was very big money in the day.
He ruined the centre of the team, Stan Harland was mentioned.
I think of Mackay as some on here think of DiCanio.

This.

Agreed, not the most well liked manager we ever had and some of the stories about his behaviour to the players and staff (whether entirely true or not) was a touch of the Bily Big Boots. I know that Blunsdon House Hotel did very well out of his stay.

A true football legend but far from that with us. Saying that, it was a crap period in our history until we got Danny Williams ( who is a true STFC legend ) back to restore some semblance of order and dignity.
I'll applaud the football legend but it certainly won't be for his time with us. Stan Harland ( another true STFC legend ) was very badly treated.

This is how I feel.

I actually saw Stan Harlands grave this week at my wifes aunties funeral here in Yeovil, a little village called Tintinhull on the outskirts of the town just off the A303.

Don't remember the Mackay era but can relate to how I'd feel if it was Steve McMahon or Paolo di Canio.

The Don was almost but not quite critical of MacKay, especially over Stan Harland.

From the modest Don - so opposite in character to MacKay - that reticence speaks volumes.

RIP the great Tottenham captain and Scottish international.
