Was just away to post this, quite random. All the best to him

Best of luck to him.

Did Ian Murray resign?

 

[Kenny Senior]

Did Ian Murray resign?

Think he got the Raith Rovers job.

 

[MarkWalters11]

Wow, that’s a bit young to be a manager. I am
Sure his aunt is Shelley kerr ,I bet she can assist with his coaching methods.

 

[Crouchy]

Little rat bastard.

Hope he gets pumped.

 

[Yer da]

He was a few years below me at school. What the %^*&.

 

[Hurleyreyes]

Felt really really old when I saw the thread title.

Now seeing he is 'only' 29, I just feel really old.

 

[rez1872]

His cousin Callum Fordyce, also 29, is player/assistant.

Mental from Airdrie but good luck to him.

 

[Devil's Advocate]

FFS! All the best to him, but the idea that I'm now not only older than most of the players, but also some football managers, gives me some existential fear

 

[Mount_Bear]

Little rat bastard.

Hope he gets pumped.

Why?

 

[Scott1975]

good luck to him

My thoughts exactly. You know you’re getting old when promising youngsters are now managers.

 

[Crouchy]

Why?

He was less than complimentary to Rangers fans in 2013.

Some shite on twitter.

Enjoy Division 3 whilst I’m playing in the Championship…

He was a wee jumped up prick back then.

Maybe he’s matured.

He didn’t sign him contract either (rightly or wrongly).

 

[Burgh-Ger]

I feel old!!!

 

[TerrySilverLoyal]

I feel old.

%^*& him anyway

 

[top_cat]

Little rat bastard.

Hope he gets pumped.

Yaaas!

 

[orjan_persson]

[a_weir]

Well fair enough. Bold move at only 29.

 

[Crown_Defender]

He got some stick at the first Sheff Wed friendly. Can't say I hold any grudges tbh.

 

[Albertz82]

Cant remember him coming into the Rangers team, time flies!

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Why?

Him and Ness tuped over.

I've enjoyed watching their decline.

 

[Aortic]

A little rat but at least he's realised he can't stay fit enough to play professional football.

Bold move from airdrie, might encourage other teams to take more risks rather than cycle through the same pool of old poor managers like yogi Hughes etc

 

[RabSpackman]

I think that’s what would be called, “a brave move all round” in polite company.

 

[superallythe2nd]

FFS! All the best to him, but the idea that I'm now not only older than most of the players, but also some football managers, gives me some existential fear

It was a sad day when I realised that some players in the Rangers squad were younger than me.

It's now even worse because if Davis and Shagger do chuck it this summer - I'll officially feel old

Me too

The board of directors, directors of what.
These diddy teams should be amalgamating with other diddy teams.

 

[Blue boy]

Is he a proddy, canny tell nowdays with all the stupid names and jump the dykes.

 

[Bluebeard]

Bloody hell.

All of a sudden I feel about 90

 

[Sticky Fingers]

Wee jump the dyke prick.

Hope he gets the sack in his first week.

In that case feck him. Hope he fails miserably in all he attempts.
Obviously not a real Bluenose coming out with that shite...

"Someone say Diddy? Airdrie ain't diddy"

 

[Diamonds Forever]

i really don't know how i feel about this appointment, it's a big risk in a division that will be brutal next season but he played well this season and likes to play football on the deck rather than kick and rush hopefully it works out, as another poster pointed out i'm just glad we avoided the usual merry go round managers, something a bit different might work

 

[WDYGH]

My next door neighbour is an Airdrie fan. Will need to check out what he’s saying to it. He follows them home and away.

He's signed up as player/manager. Played 41 games last season.

Even bolder statement.

Assumed he wasnt ever fit and that's why he jacked it.

Meh

I'm not quite that bad. Still have those two plus Arfield, McLaughlin and Balogun above me.

Still feels surreal being older than the Rangers captain. Think my chances of being our star striker are almost over

 

[DoubleWhopper]

“Good luck to him”

Eh.

My abiding memory of McCabe is when he played for Sheff Wed and we were giving him pellets at the hillsborough friendly in 2013

 

[bkerr72]

Best of luck to him.

Did Ian Murray resign?

He got the Raith job ahead of Kevin Thomson.

Saw someone say on twitter Airdrie only have 3 players signed up for next season so not an easy start for McCabe.

it happens every year build a team for one season and hopefully it works out, only good thing is dunfermline and falkirk are in the same mess

He had a good end if season with us after administration.
Sure he was man of the match against then when we beat them to stop them winning the league at Ibrox.
Then he thought he was better than he was amd refused to TUPE over.

 

[KopGer]

Any proof of this?

It’s fact. Cast iron fact.

Anyone following the events of the era would know.

 

[WilkinsBullet]

Do

[/QUO.

Don't worry. You will always be your mummy's special little pumpkin.

I'm not saying it's not would just like to of seen.

Struggle to get annoyed at a guy who was young at the time and will have been advised by people around him. His career has ended up with the dizzying heights of Sligo Rovers and Airdrie so we didn’t exactly miss out on much.

What a ridiculous statement

 

[Nerlinger]

Airdrie one of the few proudly unionist clubs left.

 

[TheMarbleStaircase]

Him and Ness tuped over.

Two players I thought would have decent careers with us but like many others they leave hoping for bigger and better things then eventually disappear and next time you hear of them they are playing in the lower leagues of Scottish football.
