Plenty of promising talents have been stalled or ruined by bad man management and bad coaching. Robinson might not be able to claim any credit for their natural talent, but he and his coaching staff played their part in shaping all the players we sold.

Had to look up how old Alan Gilzean was in that photo... he looks about 50, but he'd only just turned 32.

They did at one point, but not when anybody was anywhere near the ball tbh.

Looks like their goalie is just as bad, however.

I retract my half time abandonment request.

Ball's hardly moving already, might get lucky with a half time abandonment...

Currently watching Glentoran v Linfield on BBC NI. As well as all Manzinga, Bigi, Jake Hastie and Ben Hall in the squads (no place for Mich'el Parker tonight), Ian Baraclough is on co-comms, and Craggs is reporting from pitch side.

Certainly shades of Louis Moult at Pittodrie about the hit, albeit with a rather more pedestrian build-up.

Looks like his goal celebrations are from the Chris Long school of Face Tripping too, which should wind a few folk up into the bargain.

It's only risky if you think TW was willing to keep it up all season... sounds quite likely he'd have taken the huff if he didn't get a move this window anyway.

Looked more like he got it for chucking the ball away afterwards, to be honest.

I'm not convinced that's a bad thing, plenty of good teams have somebody unspectacular in their midfield. Better that than somebody who misplaces every other pass or is always giving away daft fouls.

An interview with Bigi in which it turns out he's only ever really enjoyed playing for Motherwell and Coventry.

Kelty Kallum knocked St Johnstone out the cup in extra time, I see.

Pretty much what I expected after a few weeks off so far. Hopefully some improvement to come in the second half.

If his motivation was "chasing the money", surely that means it's worked out perfectly.

It's almost as if the main appeal of watching sport is its unpredictability.

He just seems a bit like the sort of person who's never quite settled anywhere before but happens to be a good fit at Motherwell. Sometimes that type of player does keep doing well after they've earned their move, but plenty don't.

Which, by all accounts, we've offered him.

Think he's a classic case of "if he could do it every week, he wouldn't be playing for us" (or Scunthorpe, or Northampton). Sometimes those kind of signings work out, sometimes they don't. For now I'm happy to keep playing him and see what happens.

They also fired a good two or three balls right across the face of the goal that wouldn't have counted as shots but could easily have been tapped in.

Should be about 3-0 down now.

And 11pm if you want to enjoy it a third time.
