Pretty sure I read somewhere that GA knew Foley from his time down south (although I could have just have imagined it)

Sensible decision as he wasn't getting a game.

Blackpool fans having a laugh at that especially since it also mentioned Rangers were interested as well. One of their best players by all account so why would they want to put him out on loan

Just drove past Fir Park and its deserted except for some guy washing his car so nothing happening today by the looks of it

Possibly the reason for signing Foley then?

Exactly Yorky I think there's an assumption among some fans that things will be back to normal next season which may not be the case. Its possible this virus could continue right till the end of the year and beyond putting the existence of some clubs into doubt. Think its a time to batten down the hatches, spend what we can afford to stay in the top division and regroup at the other end. in a stable financial position and thankfully we look to be in a much better position than most to do that.

Going to Queen of the South apparently. I know that some QOS guys stay in Hamilton and train there so looks like he was getting off at Motherwell on route to his new digs

Think hes in the same category as Tait in that most fans thought he was past his best when he went to St Mirren where by all accounts hes rediscovered his va va voom and has had a good season. Midden fans say Foley's legs went this season ( the same things we were saying about Tait in his last season with us) but maybe he just needs a new challenge. As with every new player I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until he's played a few games.

I know that they're on more than £100 and less than 50k

Some chat over on P&B that this guy might be on his way to us based purely on a social mediapost

Maybe they need to free up a wage for someone they want to sign

Shes been all over FB as well saying much the same and getting into spats with fans. Not a good read.

23 fouls as well

I think I've just shat myself

Aye their balls into the box are terrible

As the old saying goes you cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear. If G A manages to turn this round he should be awarded the freedom of Motherwell.

I like big Dunne and I think fully fit would be like a new signing but I think a new contract would depend on the likelihood of him getting to that stage. From memory the injury was supposed to keep him out for 6 months max and it’s now been double that and he’s just returned to training so it’s anybody’s guess when he would be available for selection if he ever is and that’s assuming there’s no setback.

OR He might think his Scotland chances are gone if he stays with a club who he helped to get relegated. I think big Charles is a goner. A muscle problem that's taken a year to clear up??

Craig Napier should be nowhere near a game in the top division as he is not good enough. Had the misfortune to have to deal with him on a few occasions when I was involved with a Junior club and the guy is nothing but a clone of Collum. Officious little prick who continually gets the big calls wrong and has absolutely no rapport with players or officials. One of the new breed and all in the same mould.

Was watching Rangers vs County on the laptop at the same time as watching us on TV. If its any consolation County were pish (but not as pish as us today)

Just what the fuck have we got to do to get a refs decision going our way for a change

Having just come up from Engerland hopefully its no the dreaded Covid

The only other one that I definitely know of is Dundee but sure there will be others. Initially refused like every other business but good to see the courts giving the insurance companies a bloody nose on that. No doubt Joe Public will pick up the bill though.

I’ve seen and heard enough from GA to give him the benefit of the doubt that he knows what we need and where to find it. His knowledge of players in the English lower leagues and how they would fit into whatever system he wants to use is far greater than anyone on here so I trust him to get the right fit for us.

No real surprise. Hopefully the independent panel who gave the original decision tell the SPFL to feck off and don’t ask them to do anything again.
