Davie Robertson - New Peterhead F.C. Manager.

[Laudrup1]

Wish him every success.

Best ever Rangers left back.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

Shame you aren't old enough to have seen Caldow and stopped watching us before Numan arrived.

Don't think I asked a question there...

 

[gw4877]

Good luck Robbo.
Loved him as a player and he was victim of one of the worst decisions i've ever seen on a football park, flagged offside after scoring v the manks where he had to run past two of their players.

 

[Howard Carter]

All the best Davie.

 

[Weedoddieno6]

Wish him every success.

Agreed

 

[big_hec]

Lovely guy

Had him at our dinner up here and he was really good with the troops - his stories and his wife’s about Kashmir were funny as funk.

Hopefully got Kym on our committee going forward

Good luck Davy

 

[Shawlands_Bluenose]

Does anyone know why he left Kashmir?

Having watched the documentary about them while Robertson was there, I’d guess there’s only so long you would put be willing to live and work out there before you’d get fed up with it no matter how much you were enjoying the football side of it

 

[DonDraper]

You're maybe too young for a Thora Hird reference

Who?

 

[SuperA II]

well done Davie

 

[gersrus71]

Does anyone know why he left Kashmir?

Was it not something to do with COVID and restrictions

 

[imager]

how he only ever got 3 caps is a disgrace

Agreed, especially when Tosh Fuckin McInlay got 22!

 

[WilkinsBullet]

Was he not another Rangers player who paw Broon didn't see eye to eye with on a personal level? Or was it simply a case that the school headmaster was so in awe of big tie Tosh and his world class crossing ability?

Hoping for @SDF to come along and remind me.

Seem to remember Brown 'explaining' that he did indeed believe Robertson's final ball wasn't as good as that of Tosh McKinley. Each to their own I guess. Strange.

 

[Bigcol1969]

His challenge on Joe Miller was outstanding. He bounced him at Hampden like a pinball.

 

[Damask_Rose]

Best of f***ing luck to the f***cking c**t. Fan-f***ing-tastic. So f***ing pleased for him. F**k.

 

[DavieM]

Good luck Davie.

Peter Reid for assistant?

 

[RWB-Since1963]

If the Peterhead Chairman has any sense, he'll put a swear jar in the Dressing Room, and never have to dip into his reserves for another transfer fee again.

Good luck Davie great player how he hardly played for Scotland I will never know

 

[BenVorlich]

I will be keeping an interested eye on his progress with Peterhead.
Best of luck Davie

 

[BlueSevenTwo]

Wish him all the best.

 

[Captain_Buns]

Surprised he wasn’t mentioned alongside Jig, Thommo, Wee Neil as potential as Beale’s assistant.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Good luck Davie

 

[JMCK]

Agreed, especially when Tosh Fuckin McInlay got 22!

Was he not a "specialist" though? First and only time I'd heard a player described as that, and never forgot it. Three caps?! incredible.

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Peterhead is a Working Town. Plain speaking up here.
Davie will do fine!

As long as he's brushed up on his Lithuanian and Latvian Davie will have no communication issues

 

[Salsabear]

Hope he does well.

Was underrated IMO.

 

[OlegKuznetsov]

how he only ever got 3 caps is a disgrace

Wtf

 

[Bud Johnston1972]

Best of luck Davie in the next chapter of your managerial career back home.

 

[Rob the Ranger]

Good luck Davie.2nd best left back in my time watching the Gers (Numan being the best).

 

[TheHammerJorgAlbertz11]

Good luck to him.

 

[hootsmon]

One of those statements that, a quarter of a century later, still has me amazed that Paw Broon came away with. A specialist crosser, I believe.

You get the term "free-kick specialist", most uttered by commentators, but this seemed like some formal job description which sounded peculiar then, and, as you say, still does.

Broon also came away with the classic 'we won on corners' after losing to Greece. Late 94, I think.

 

[Johansen]

Wish him every success.

Best ever Rangers left back.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

Good left back for us but you obviously never seen Eric Caldow play

 

[Larbert loyal]

Wish him all the best

Brilliant left back for us

 

[crafty fellow]

Too young for Caldow but my dad and uncles said he was brilliant. For me, very close between Numan and Robertson, Arthur the better footballer, Davie the better defender and tackler. Too close to call for me.

 

[nithbear]

All the best, Davie; from another member of the Robertson clan.
Let them f*cking know you`re around pal.

[RWB-Since1963]

One of those statements that, a quarter of a century later, still has me amazed that Paw Broon came away with. A specialist crosser, I believe.

I was at a Sportsman's Dinner years ago, whereby Broon was drafted in as the replacement for the main Speaker, who had a last minute issue, that meant he couldn't appear.
2 minutes in, his words were " A lot of people think I'm a Rangers man, however I couldn't care less about them". 3/4 of his reportoire was then spent on having sly digs at Rangers.
A very odd individual to say the least.

 

[RWB-Since1963]

Suffice to say, the "One love" armbands won't see the light of day in Peternapper.......good

 

[Herindoors]

Good player, seems a decent and loyal guy. Glad he's got a job closer to home if that's his wish.

 

[perthtruebluetwo]

I must be the only person I know who never saw the Real Kashmir documentary, I've tried searching to watch it online but can't find any links, does anyone know any sites I can watch it on please.

 

[si72]

All the best Davie.

 

[Glendonagasaki]

I'm a local, and I am now looking forward to watching Peterhead once again.

 

[Muzza]

All the best to Davie. He is right up there as one of our best ever left backs. 3 Scotland caps, what a joke.

 

[BajanBear]

I wish him well until he becomes the Aberdeen manager which is inevitable.

 

[Albertz Left Peg]

Good luck Davie and all the best !

 

[Coatbridge Chancellor]

And he's gone.

 

[Kentbear]

And he's gone.

Where?

 

[tod1872]

Peterhead Football Club can confirm that today we have parted company with First Team Manager David Robertson and his Management Team.

Unfortunately results have been disappointing and the club felt that a parting of the ways would be in the best interests of Peterhead FC.

We would like to go on record to thank David for his contribution to the club and he leaves with our best wishes.

For this weekend’s match against Alloa Athletic, club Captain Ryan Strachan along with Jordon Brown will assume the role of Joint Caretaker Manager.

 

[ELGers]

And he's gone.

Not been following the results closely but considering the results before he arrived I'd suggested this maybe more the fault of the club committee than the management team.

He inherited a very poor squad of players, and had to shop in the bargain basement for potential replacements.
Good luck Davie.

 

[Bordersbear]

Good luck Davie.

Peter Reid for assistant?

Dick Campbell as director of football.
