Why not just postpone the next 2 games and play them midweek next year then head into the winter break. Might not suit the old firm if they're still in Europe but at least clubs don't lose income and the fans don't miss out. Always assuming things get back to normal in 3 weeks of course.

Let's be honest, 500k to a championship club looking for a goalscorer is chickenfeed and Tony is well able to play that level. Yes he's looking for a payday but more than that, I think that in his mind he has to prove to himself that he can play consistently at a higher level. He doesn't want to wake up one day in his late 30's and ask himself "what if".

Anybody know if the wee pubescent Saintees fans are trying to start a new look with the all black combo and neckerchiefs. Thought it was a boy scout convention or something. Apparently acting like wee fannies at the Civic Centre and got chased by the polis.

Good luck to the guy if this is true. Signed as a left sided central defender and hung out to dry as a left back. Switched back to his normal position and he's been Mr Consistency ever since changing the minds of some of his fiercest critics. Would be sad to see him go but no player should pass up the chance to make some serious dough down South.

All I would say is rewind our brains to this point last season and ask if we were any more entertained back then. I'm in my sixties so I cannae remember.

Don't use Twitter (deliberately) so did Lawless just randomly post that or was it in response to other users having a go at him. I could excuse the latter as he's just winding up the trolls (we've all done it) but if the former then that's a bad call by him.

That was my take on it too. Mystified as to why anyone would see that as in any way political.

As long as we keep on winning I can live with it.

The red ash one down the old Palace grounds was my favourite. Combined with a gym teacher who thought it a good idea to use a scrubbing brush to get rid of any ash stuck in your cuts/grazes after a sliding tackle followed by a good dose of pure dettol it was life defining.

GA has had months to look at the players and assess their different qualities on and off the pitch. If he thinks O'Donnell is Captain material then that's fine with me as he's far more qualified to make that choice than any of us. Edit. STV beat me to it

You could say the same about a number of players. He was solid towards the end of last season and I'm sure he'll get back to that level in time.

We've had half a dozen cases of Covid with players having to isolate. Wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility that he was one of them and is a bit behind everyone else in terms of fitness.

Mate who is a big Saints fan and goes to all their games (or at least he used to pre Covid) has watched Slattery progress through the ranks and cannae believe we've landed him. As with all the EPL teams he was up against guys who cost millions and slipped down the pecking order and his confidence went a bit because of that. He thought he would have ended up at a Championship team or a Div1 at worst so seems we've done not too shabbily landing him.

Exactly They're all at different stages of physical fitness and match fitness. Some fans expecting them to hit the ground running and pump everything in front of them. Some even saying we're relegation material ffs. They forget this is a team essentially with a new forward line and it will take time for things to click although some promising signs today towards the end of the first half and the second half. With more quality signings still to come in I think we'll be fine.

They will come and put 10 men behind the ball. Up to us to break them down.

Play the game again in a month's time and we'll see who bosses who.

Well it took us 70 mins to wake up but from then on we started to look s bit more comfortable. Wee team fired up against the big boys who would have thought. Wasn't surprised after watching them against QOS tbh. Craigans commentary doing my head in.

We look a bit ring rusty that's for sure

Barry Anderson @BarryAnderson_ He isn't someone Hearts are looking at right now. St Johnstone are keen on him. Also heard Motherwell and Dundee Utd are interested. RGT @Paphos_16 Replying to @Paphos_16 @BarryAnderson_ and @edinburghpaper Heard anything about James Scott? 11:29 AM · Jul 14, 2021

I thought it was a new covid variant.

Having flashbacks to the season Ayr Utd pumped us 4 0 in a pre season friendly and this place was to be avoided at all costs due to the doom.and gloom. We finished 2nd in the league. Results in pre season friendlies mean SFA. Chill oot guys.

Only flaw in your argument there is we have close on 4k season ticket holders (or at least we did have in 2019/20) so no matter what the club does there will be winners and losers https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2019/08/08/season-ticket-sales-up-year-on-year/

Not bad considering QPR are supposed to have only paid Livi 50k. Wonder if they had a sell on clause.

At least we now have proper like for like options off the bench.

Not for me. Nae good at penalties.
