    Leckies book on Scottish football was alright. Obviously he’s a Dons hating sh1tehawk but he’s no fan of the OF either. In the tiny world of Scottish football journalism, that’s to be applauded

    I read Leckies book while attempting to get to Schehallion a few years back around christmas time as i got it for christmas (failed to get there). It was not a typical sycophantic mould firm love in

    He has an interesting take on Mark McGhee.
    I believe that he and the manager before our current one were good friends and this has cooled considerably since that individual parked his arse in the (cliché time) Pittodrie hot seat.

    Ah, Hokay.

    The ByTheMinute crew had Cooney on their most recent podcast, decent listen......the boy's sank a few in his day by the sounds.

    No, I've given that a miss.

    I bought the Cooney book on Saturday and read it on Saturday night.

    Interesting, but for a boy who was a writer, sub and editor, and for it to be professionally printed by Luath, it's riddled with errors and some howlers of sub-editing gaffes. It got ****ing annoying reading that Ebbe transferred Eoin Jess to Coventry and that Ally Shewan came from 'Cummingston', and seeing sub's comments like "Dons' not Dons" left in, making a mockery of the sentence of which they were part. That's fanzine oir forum stuff, nae what should be expected from a book that people will put on their shelves at the cost of 15 quid.

    Numbers On The Front (the Washington Whips book) seems now to have been delivered in erm...numbers to allow copies to be had freely, but nae free, of course.
