msc 18,480 Posted December 26, 2019 ISJ had cancer, but has kept quiet about it - presumably the fact he still breaths meant it got better or controlled as its been a while. Didn't know about Jimmy Calderwood, that's a shame, dementia at 60. His Dunfermline side played some surprisingly good stuff at times, though the meme at the time was his sides would batter Rangers only to lose to fluke goals for 3 years straight. When he went to Aberdeen, results speak for themselves - taking a non-Old Firm Scottish club beyond Christmas in Europe has only happened once in at least 20 years. Maybe even since Jim McLean was taking Dundee United to the UEFA CUp final? Their final group game was funny as Copenhagen fans seemed to think it was a bye as they only needed a draw against Scottish opposition. They got gubbed 4-0!
