The agony, he could handle. The flak, he was long used to. But when, on that afternoon last January, he heard fans baying for an end to his livelihood, he saw red.

"See that day, if I could have got back up, I was going in. I'd lost the plot," the Hamilton Academical midfielder says. "The Dundee fans were wishing my career was over. I've got kids to look after, I've got a wife - why would you want somebody's career over because of what you see on a football park?"

 

What the BBC forgot to mention is that he got hurt trying to end the career of 18 year old Henvey during a sickening tackle.

While I take no pleasure from any player getting injured and the thought of their career being over, I thought it was Karma in this case.

Your thought's on this?

I remember at the time he made a big thing about NM being a decent guy and coming to see him after the game to check he was OK. Playing the sympathy card as if he was the innocent party. Why not just put the photo we've all seen online and ask him to explain it.

You mean this one?

I know I'm going to be alone in this but on reflection, I personally think he didn't mean to hurt Henvey. It would have been a really really stupid tackle to make in that area and cost them the game.

The conditions were horrific with the wind and rain so I could see how someone could do something like that - I remember Ben Hutchinson for us trying to put pressure on the Dunfermline 'keeper in similar weather and then shattering the guys leg in multiple places. The fact that he come off pretty badly himself too suggests that he made a challenge which he then lost control of. It should have been a sending off as it was very reckless but I don't think that always means that someone has actually meant to hurt.

He's obviously got the history and he's a bit of a nutter but I don't really think that sort of thing fits his previous style either. He's certainly combative seems more like he has wee tantrums and gets into trouble for handbags more than anything else.

I agree with your assessment about the weather and it was probably an accident, but his injury was caused by a reckless challenge on Henvey who was put out the game for the rest of the season.

If he doesn't understand why the Dundee fans were furious with him, then maybe he needs a reality check. I'm saddened that he got the abuse he did and was out injured, but he will not get an ounce of sympathy from me while he is putting out those bleeding heart stories.

I know what you're saying. No need to go about talking about it but I suspect that the press are maybe questioning him about it rather than him bringing it up unprompted. It was quite a memorable moment.

Short odds on him getting sent off at Dens after the split. Should be easy to wind him up.

I don't think McIntyre plays like that, but I am sure that the fans will have a nice wee warm reception for him though!

[Huggs66]

I wonder if the picture showing his tackle is anywhere in his head, if as a pro he fails to understand or comprehend why the fans have responded as they did he deserves all he gets. All he had to do was apologise at the time and it would have been consigned to history, an atrocious tackle with no thought for Henvy.

Let him bring it up, let him see the tackle again and again where he will suffer the consequences of his own actions.

He also spat at a female at this game

Does he really expect us to believe that’s the worst abuse he’s ever had from supporters in his career? Sorry Darian,  not buying that.

100% McKinnon is undeniably an animal. He obviously wants a few quid for regurgitating the same old story. Let's send him down like the judge did.
