...watching this fella for Sweatie U21 v Slovenia UJ21.

  MM obviously worked with him in his time as boss...and clearly wanted him to sign.

  Interestingly he's played in midfield here and looks half decent...long throw and wicked delivery from crosses and set pieces. It must have been a big disappointment to MM that he didn't get his man. About twice the player of Yinka at this stage of career.

Yinka has braids though, hes cool

Yeah if we'd signed Mulgrew it would have ruined the black 4.

Aberdeen or Swindon. Alas, at least he didn't join a same division team.

 True...I was hoping in the summer, MM might have picked up a couple of decent Sweatie prospects from his contacts up there...presumably there's just not the talent.

que bart to say theres loads but MM cant attract anyone

*cue

didn't he miss a penalty last night?

To be fair Reg any talent that's about up north isn't likely to want to come and sign for a club with a bunch of retards as supporters.  I wouldn't sign for a team that has treated a Scottish hall of famer as bad as some Town fans have.

Also as much as people hate to admit it, the SPL is vastly a superior option than league 1.  Fair play to Mulgrew for choosing the granite city over us.

And that's not a bite btw.

There was a time when Scots jumped at the chance of passing Hadrians Wall and playing in England - You were not a football team without a Scotsman in the centre of your defence for example. Money was (and probably still is) better but with the ongoing fall of the United Kingdom and the fact that if you stand out in the SPL you'll sign for an Old Firm gravytrain eventually so it doesn't really matter anymore to venture elsewhere.

The fan comment is probably irrelevant - it's not as if Malpas would make Mulgrew aware of the ignorant few that all clubs have when trying to convince him to sign.

teehee i can just see Malpas advising Muligrew to check out TEF, "aye lad, louk out fur the wee nipper STFC bart, he spiks the trooooth. and that fatbury lad, an arsenal/ebsfleet/soon to be man city fan, you'll nae be his favourite, he oonly has eyes for Pouk. fuck knows why laddy..."



apologies to any Sweaties reading this, my scottish accent is apalling... ;)

haha

What a fantatsic post that was. Slag off you own clubs fans in favour of a scottish player who decided not to sign for us. Well done.

JANAAGE...the town fans havnt treated MM in a bad way,if you make bad decisions,get bad results your going to get stick regardless of ware you come from,if Town had offered more dosh than the Dons Mulgrew would be here...i like Malpass and he will get us in the championship ive no doubts about that....just a matter of when in my opinion.

To be honest Colin, I couldn't give a shit about the town fans that I may have slagged off in my previous post as I think they deserve any abuse dished out.  It is only a loud minority that I'm talking about, and as Rich points out every club has them.

Joining Aberdeen was a very wise choice for Mulgrew, I'm sure he won't regret the decision to join the dons when he's playing in Europe, or in a domestic cup final, in a year or two's time.

Likewise I dont really give a shit about Mulgrew, he had the choiced to join us, but chose to go elsewhere, and like you say if you take the STFC emotion out of it, it looks a better move for him.

Your post offends me less now you have stated it was a minority of fans you aimed the comments at, although it does seem to keep your traditional viewpoint of everything scottish is brilliant despite the fact you presumably have lived in Swindon for some time. Have you ever been to Scotland?

Come on Janaage. walk into it :fishing:

I am waiting patiently.

Tick....Tock.

I find that Vader v Kenobi animation strangley hypnotic

 :starwars: :starwars: :starwars: :starwars: :starwars: :starwars:

Missed an opportunity there BR   Tick...Jock

 I see the sweaties want their own team in the 2012,  Olympics....fair play Chris Hoy pointed out that in cycling there might be a problem as there are no training facilities, but he'd be happy as long as his funding was retained.

 I have no problem with Mulgrew picking Aberdeen over us, but there ought to be players in the Sweatie lower divs who might be improveable.. sort of McMarshals.

 Lee Collins probably isn't the best example, but McMahon did at least look at clubs like Albion Rovers for potential players... I thought MM would be doing similar.

I did miss that one didn't I.

Must have been a case of Scotch mist.

Where did the phrase sweaties  come from and did the Scotch really invent the Scotch egg?

To be fair to Mulgrew and Scotch football had he chose to come to a L1 side over a Scotch premier league team it would be a further indictment of how bad the state of their game is.

"sweaties" = sweaty sock = jock

Mulgrew is mint and it's no surprise that he's performing for Aberdeen and Scotland under 21.

But couldnt get in the Wolves team?

Was gutted when Mulgrew didnt sign for us. Although Aberdeen would be a bigger attraction than us, unless there was a definite chance of promotion this season.

His penalty miss the other night was shocking though!

Mulgrew is one that got away.

In their review of the SPL, Pat Nevin said he was Aberdeen's star performer.

Hopefully we do better attracting this calibre of player over the summer.
