Hope he's better than him to be honest
I was one of the wierd ones I always quite liked MacDonald, old fashioned CB, decent tackler and good in the air, he started slowly but near the end of his short Town career he started looking very solid. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

I liked MacDonald too. We looked a lot more solid with him in the side. |

I was kind of playing devil's advocate as he was mercilessly slagged by many while here but his departure became the reason for many for our subsequent failure. Personally I thought he was ok but would hope Edwards is better.

He was terrific at Northampton last season where we put on a rare defensive masterclass to take 3 points.

MacDonald was a good player. Stupid decision to sell.
I mean if Edwards is better then it’s win win for us.

…has there been ANY proof of that? Like, if it was true - then surely it would have involved the police? Him being sacked? Etc |

I have no idea if true and don't really care either way but like most rumours I picked it up off of this forum. |

The proof is the club were happy to rip up his contract and let him go for free. Let’s be honest they managed to get money for Lindsey & Iandolo so would surely have done so for Angus too. As for the Police, it’s hard to prove a “she said, he said” allegation, just ask Joey Barton’s wife |

…. STFC: Mr. MacDonald you’ve murdered 7 people. You either go to Aberdeen or we’ll get the police involved. AM: Yeah, I think I’ll go to Aberdeen…. …yeah…it wasn’t murder but seems a bit morally wrong to me. If it’s something bad enough that you want them out the club asap then it must be bad enough to be a police matter rather than being brushed under a move to Scotland. |
