Hamilton fan in peace.

Well done to your team, quite an achievement to bounce back up.

And congratulations to Dundee for blowing it yet again, you gotta laugh :D

When Dougie played for Clyde he was involved in a collision with a young Accies player Ross McCabe. As far as I understand it, McCabe slid in on Imrie, Imrie jumped out of the way and landed on McCabe's throat. McCabe then had convulsions on the pitch (I think his heart stopped). The game had to be abandoned as an ambulance drove onto the pitch. McCabe recovered but had to retire from senior football - he is playing in the Juniors I think. Some Accies fans (and officials, I think) suggested that Imrie was at fault for the collision or that it was deliberate. I think that there was a suggestion that Imrie laughed as McCabe was injured. I seriously doubt that - seems like it's one of these exaggerated hate fixations that develop in football. Imrie went to visit McCabe in hospital afterwards.

The Hamilton fans took the moral high ground in this 'controversy' by chanting 'Imrie, die' during our games against them.

Eddie Malone was the one who was behaving like an ar$e whilst Ross was being revived; Reid and a couple of the players had to be restrained else there would likely have been a mass brawl, plus the Clyde fans were being abusive whilst he lay on the ground, it all added up to a thoroughly unpleasant spectacle

It's actually more to do with what happened at the re-arranged game than the game where Ross died on the pitch and it's just escalated from there with Imrie responding to the Accies fans chants (fair do to him). Oh and please don't lump us all in with the teenage morons who chant Imrie die, they've been told in no uncertain terms to stop it, but their small brains seem incapable of understanding what's wrong.

The Chairman and the manager both rate Imrie and it's not impossible he'd be a target, I doubt the views of the fans would have any influence on their thoughts.

Just checking your forum to see if you have anything more on this, by God I hope he's playing in Inverness next season and not at Accies. We certainly don't want him, but it's a believable one and it wouldn't surprise me if it happens.

All the best for the new season anyway, just so long as you stop Dundee from going up :(
