Is Colin Calderwood Father Fitzgerald?

[MB62]

Every time I listen to C.C. speaking, I find myself quickly losing interest and falling asleep before he is finished. It got me thinking about the Father Ted episode where all the Priests were 'trapped' in the ladies Lingerie section and they get the Priest with the most boring voice in the world to make an announcement over the tannoy system :greengrin (I think his name was Father Fitzgerald).

No offence meant to our manager, but he does remind of this Priest when he is talking :greengrin.

The departed Brian Clough (R.I.P) could have been Father Jack

Any others?

I'd say a certain Mr Foulkes would suite the Father Jack role better. :agree:

I don't think C.C sounds boring, I just think he sounds quite professional. He speaks in a manner that doesn't draw too much attention, but is quietly confident. I like that in a manager. :thumbsup:

[Golden Bear]

If you speak slowly and quietly then people are more likely to listen to what you say.

Well so I heard on the TV recently.

:hmmm:

what's happened to him?

what's happened to him?

Probably sitting at a street corner somewhere in Gorgie with 20 broken whiskey bottles in a puddle of stale smelling p*sh.

David Moyes reminds me of the Scottish priest who is in that lingerie episode you are talking about. :agree:

[heretoday]

I like watching CC talk. He's strange and enigmatic.

Naw - hair lacquer, more like.

I don't find CC boring at all. Sober and realistic, more like.

A great improvement on his verbally incontinent predecessor. :rolleyes:

I'm sure thats Tommy from Trainspotting.

Aye it is, but he looks more like Moyes in that father ted episode .:wink:

Think it was Kevin McKidd.

Moyes reminds me of Gollum.

I would LOVE that on a giant flag at ER :greengrin

[hibsbollah]

Graham Rix would be Philandering milkman Pat Mustard.
Father Dick Burn would have to be Jeffries, just because he's a 'nemesis' character.
Father Damo Lennon would be, well, Lennon of course.

[Keith_M]

In that case, John Reid is defo Bishop Brennan.

They both gie me the fear!

Haha qwwality.

[marinello59]

I'm convinced that with all the info I have,that Calderwood is simply thick.

The likeness is uncanny.

Who CC bears similarities to, of course, would be an ecumenical matter.

Roll your eyes all you want.The recent wins have been fortuitous to say the least.On Saturday we were hammered and got a draw.If you think that Calderwood is the man to organise and motivate us to anything more than mediocracy,then that's fine but I'm not convinced.

Hammered :confused:

I've no idea what game you were at.

Hammered? :faf: I think you must have been hammered to think that!! So do you put 6 games unbeaten down to luck?

You're confused old chap. We were faced with a bunch of hammer throwers as opposition. Their main and lets face it only tactic was to give Grainger the ball so he could lump it as far up the park as possible. Methinks you've fallen for Derek McInnes's view that they outplayed us for ninety minutes. They couldn't even score a goal - we had to do that for them.

Granted, Hibs were poor on Saturday but hammered? I think not

[jgl07]

Jocky Scott would make a great Father Stone.

Motherwell chairman John Boyle could pass as father Noel Furlong.

Jim Jefferies could be Father Fintan Stack before catching the 'hair thing'.

[Jonnyboy]

You think Calderwood is the man?We were faced by long balls to the full back positions.Really basic ploy which I didn't see CC reacting to in tactical terms.

You clearly don't and so it's expected that you'll look for perceived faults. I think his January signings and the last six results have gone some way to helping his cause, especially the goals against column.

As I've already said, Hibs were poor on Saturday but they were not hammered as you suggest. Unless drawing 1-1 equates to a hammering these days?

[Jonnyboy]

I've seen Hibs been hammered 0-0 and I've seen us hammering a team 0-0 .. I like your measured views but you must be a civil servant or a mature student?:greengrin

:greengrin Neither actually :wink:

As regards your view on not responding to the high balls into our full back areas - nothing ever came of them so maybe CC didn't see it as a threat?

[Jonnyboy]

Academic question really. It didn't happen and anyway it's what he'd have done that's important. What would your solution have been?

Bishop Brennan is John Reid. A skinnier version, but theres a definite resemblance...

Do you fancy him?


Not really.

Karen Brady. I quite fancy her.
