A few words from Malky on Scottish passion

Just been trawling and came across this article: http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/488283243?-276

 

I don't like this bit: "They started the season as one of the relegation favourites and their progress has been even more impressive, given the lack of money to spend on the squad. Watford have new owners and if reasonable funds aren't available next season, Mackay would have no difficulty finding a new club."

But i do like this bit: "Take Danny Graham, rejected by Middlesbrough before trying to rebuild his career at Carlisle. Many watched him but it was Mackay who recommended Watford pay £200,000 for the striker. His 14 goals last season have been followed by 27 so far this term, quite apart from many assists - and he's now worth a conservative £10million."

 

£10M wow!! I think if any offers came in at that level DG would be gone with the best wishes of everyone at WD18

 

Nice article about a top, top bloke - but cannot resist a few comments.. He did not mention a passion for deep fried Mars bars, fishy suppers, Bucky and Tennants Super.

 

Do we really have new owners, nothing is said more about this.

I wondered why Malky was close to Alex Fergusson, now I know. Malky Mackays father was at Queens Park with Alex Fergusson.

 

Ak got a feeling we might hear more tomorrow!

 

I like a bit of Scottish spirit...Ardbeg preferably.

 

or a spot of dalwhinnie!

 

Stop it you two - you will get me started - both of those are excellent - Laphroaig is not half bad too

 

Great article - thanks Al

 

Just forced my 12yo cragganmore out of the cupboard, a finer malt there is not though a smelly sock would sink it with an irn bru chaser, heathens

 

an elegant sophisticated speyside with the most complex aroma of any malt astonishingly fragrant with sweetish notes and a smoky maltiness on the finish............complexity married to such refinement is not easily found.....last sentence could be talking about watford fc...

 

Actually I am a very big fan of Irish whiskey too

 

... and there is even a drinkable Welsh one

 

first time i got drunk was on whiskey..that was it for me...it's been gin ever since! lol

 

Very fond of an irish coffee myself

 

Rather partial to a good scotch , not so much into the irish whisky! west coast coast malts are very good!

 

A few years ago, I took a class of kids for a tour around the nearby GlenDronach distillery. At the end of the tour, I was 'introduced' to GlenDronach 33 year old and have been hooked ever since. Liquid heaven.

 

When I was with a hotel company we had a conference and got a local Distillary to turn up in the evening and do some tasting. Luckily for me mny team "set me up" to be a guinea pig and I got to taste a 60 year old single malt - very rare - astronomical sum per bottle if you could even buy it - but it was truly heaven

 

Got me salivating here Leo stop it!
