djchapsticks 9,264 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Yeah. I can't remember ever taking umbrage with Darren Jackson. Indeed, he spent the majority of his career operating at a higher level then we were playing at, at that point. Don't really see the issue in this if he's come in as a coach. Welcome to the club, Darren. Edited June 13, 2018 by djchapsticks 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Les Fridge had to be carried off after colliding with Jackson's boot. That's how I remember it too. Kenny McDowell went in goals. Jackson revelled in the abuse he got as I remember it, but I gained a respect for him watching him play for Scotland and seeing just how hard he worked as a player. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or am I making that up? We used to have a few on the blacklist: Darren Jackson Paul Hartley James Grady Ross Tokely Sam McGivern (I think.... can't remember his crime) and going back a few years...

djchapsticks 9,264 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 Also, I'm quite sure our head of youth development was roundly loathed by our support as an opposition player and revelled in the abuse dished out at him. I also reckon the majority on here will agree he's done a decent job since filling David Longwell's shoes. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to the club, Darren. He's a relegation specialist ! Dundee U were heading there when he got the bullet , same at Raith. Awful appointment ! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully this is just a bad rumour/dream. Totally agree. Failed football agent, no reputation as a coach and had an affair with his best mate's wife. Dismal appointment. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stu 3,444 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 On the subject of goalies being injured, did Hearts not once have a guy called Baird who assaulted Campbell Money on a fairly regular basis?Anyway, appointing Jackson is a Stubbs masterstroke. All he has to do is ask him what McNamara or Locke would have done in a certain situation then do the exact opposite. Simple! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second Decay 219 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 Les Fridge suffered internal bleeding as result of Darren Jackson in that game at Tannadice. In the late 90s I remember reading that Darren Jackson had water on his brain and had to get emergency treatment, surely he could have just got a tap on his head to stop it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is fair enough but I think it's important to note that he's not in as assistant and so his role is greatly diminished from his previous spells at those clubs. Also, I'd rate Stubbs as a better manager than either Locke or McNamara. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
