Dunno about scary, but she'll probably be bored stiff after the first five minutes and start annoying the punters round about

If we're to believe what Well73 was told, it hasn't been "allowed" to happen, it was a conscious decision on the part of the players and the club.

Over here...

That's entirely up to her, not to us or the club.

Ignoring the fact that snagging a Scouse chav wouldn't be my idea of "doing well", he was going out with her long before anyone had ever heard of him anyway...

Only until it leaves your bladder.

Although if Melly is being paid less than Leighton, which seems fairly likely, McGhee would still be saving cash by bringing in Melly (even with a modest salary increase, which you'd imagine he'd want to move jobs).

Certainly the proddie ones, aye (Plenty of those round these parts...)

Opposite for me-- never had any problems convincing their RealPlayer stuff I was in the UK, but have tried everything to get their Flash player working here and still no joy

Somebody'll have to make up an end bit first, then-- it finishes a line before the tune does...

What were you doing in the commentator's y-fronts?

It helps that "Zamora" has the right number of syllables and sounds a bit like "amore", of course

Bobby Russell at Parkhead in '89...

Also now on the Beeb. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotlan...ral/8201586.stm

Hmm, reminiscent of the Pony pinstripes... not sure about horizontal stripes though, they make you look fat

I think it's a bit much to say McGhee was "hopeless" too. He certainly didn't cover himself in glory last season, but any manager who gets Motherwell playing the way we did in his first season has to be at least as good as bad, IMHO.

Another reason I suppose, is that Gannon has already established a reputation for finding and bringing through good young players, whereas McGhee was perhaps (and I do mean "perhaps") better at finding more established players on the cheap.

One of my first favourite players, remember him and Willie Irvine scoring a barrowload between them in 81/82. Then Jock Wallace sold him to Accies, in one of his many fan-endearing decisions...

Makes a change from the usual "we're not setting ourselves any targets", I suppose!

Even still, with a full international cap and being less than halfway through a three-year contract, I can't imagine they'd let him go particularly cheaply, at least by League of Ireland standards.

Seem to remember a fairly categorical statement from the club when the pitch renovations were first being discussed that the PA system wouldn't be addressed in the forseeable future. So, I'd guess nothing's changed.

Nice... surprised to see it lined already though!

Well, taking a cue from other sports, one way would be to give either team the chance to challenge the decision the next time the ball goes dead (perhaps allow one or two challenges per team per half). In the rare scenario where the next time the ball goes dead is when the other team scores, and it turns out the original 'clearance' should have been a goal, then the first goal is given and tough luck on the other team. (But if the correct decision had been given in the first place, they wouldn't have been able to run straight up the park and score anyway. One time in a thousand they might just have done it straight from the subsequent kick off, but this way they still get their opportunity to do that.) If it turns out the original 'clearance' really wasn't a goal anyway, then the team that ran up the park and scored gets to keep their goal, and everything's hunky dory.
