Jackie McNamara

With the news that former Celtic player and Dundee United 'manager' Sackie Sacknamara has joined twitter, and given that it's international week and there's not much going on, let's all share our memories of this wage thief and general kuntish pwick.

I'll start with a positive - the time when we were pumping teams by four goals every week. It was genuinely one of the best spells as a United fan I've had because we had a team full of great wee players who just did the business for a few months.

Now the negatives. Where to begin?

What about the way that useless, talentless kant got found out every time we played St Johnstone. If any manager was able to show up McNamara for his lack of tactical knowledge, it was Tommy Wright. It culminated of course in the 2014 Scottish Cup final which we absolutely should have won, but the useless kant didn't have any tactical nous so decided to play the same way as we always did, which meant an inevitable defeat to the farmers for their first ever Scottish Cup win.

And let's not forget he gave Darren Jackson a job just so he could go out on the lash with someone in St Andrews while he was trying to pump students behind his wifes back (allegedly - wink wink). And Sackie and Jackson certainly liked a drink - and didn't have any fear about repeatedly turning up hungover for training.

Away from United, what about the fact that fans of every club he's been involved with as a non-player hates him. I mean really loathes him. If you think United fans don't like him - and we don't - you should see how York City fans feel about him. And the Partick lads aren't fond of him either.

Away from football entirely, what about the time that the cheating, smug kant got done for fare dodging on the trains. What a pwick.

Anyway, let's all enjoy our mutual loathing of this sham of a person.

A mate of somebody's mate.

Seems unlikely.

I'll believe you even though thousands wouldn't. You've got an honest face.

For some reason Ryan Dow was always our star player against St. Johnstone. It's not saying much considering how awful the rest were - but he knew how to play against them.

McNamara should have taken a leaf out of Levein's book when it came to St. Johnstone - stick Lee Wilkie up front.

Actually that's got to be one of my favourite & most memorable games I've ever been to. Lee Wilkie as a striker won a penalty, got an assist and was booed of the park in what would later turn out to be his last ever game. Mark Fotheringham came on and did precisely hee-haw, setting the tone for his time here (remember sunlightthedives' obsession with him?). Darren Dods scored an own goal, because he always scored an own goal playing St. Johnstone. Danny Swanson was sent off under the "new directive" that any deliberate foul was an automatic red card. Danny Swanson would be the only player ever punished under this "new directive" before the SFA quietly admitted they'd made it up.
And of course we won 3-2. Was 9 years ago and I remember it so vividly.
