There is a reason there were no Scottish referees at the world cup, ie all of them are feckin brutal and not up to the standard required, can you imagine the sight of Collum or Beaton mic'ed up tyring to explain a VAR call 😂

Very good, have you considered stepping up for the role of forum funny guy, GrizzlyG is considering retirement or if not he should..

A spirited defence of your big club as usual, but both of them are two cheeks of the same arse, ie equally culpable of everything that is wrong with scottish football.

Its a feckin embarassment for Scottish football, it would never happen with any of the ugly sisters players, the SFA are a disgrace, but the other clubs wont care so nothing will change.

I can accept your point re another early Euro exit and i agree that its effect on the team, fans and the clubs standing in Europe etc would not be good, However i cant see it as a disaster, when we could potentially go on and win a trophy, get another top 6 finish etc. For me it would be a setback, dissapointing, a blip on the progress we made under JBA last year, maybe even embarassing if it was a really bad result, but its how you respond to events like that that defines you so if we do make a James Hunt of it against Havnar then judge its impact next May as its where you are at the end of the season that matters, not the start.

Das reicht jetzt, bitte nicht mehr

Some good experience if his wiki page is to be believed, im glad we are continuing to source players from outwith the usual pool of failed Scottish talent, his tache ( no not his touch) is a bit suspect though.

This one will be the first, the player you mentioned was Franz Resch signed 1997. That said "third" would be a good if not a bit controversial nickname for Reich if he signs.

Taxi for Grizzly 🤦‍♂️

Hopefully by then we will have conned some team to take Stamatelopolous from us, hes worse than a man short. Id have Thor and the new boy Vogt up top alongside TJ if hes fit to play.

Spot on Dave, im all for giving the academy plsyers game time but AJ should be concentrating on what our 1st choice starting 11 will be, the ECL game is in two weeks and the league starts three weeks today. For me the squad looks a bit threadbare in certain areas, cenral defence, goal keeper and striking options up top so i hope our recruitment team are working hard to fill the gaps.

Any dates mentioned, Dave or is it closed doors like last season?

Aye we had the same drivel last year when JBA arrived, and when Wimmer arrived etc etc. Apoarently we could be bottom of the league by the end of August, so still in contention for 4 trophies then, i can live with that.

Financial security is a bold statement to make in the context of a football club, they are not allowed to advertise Alcohol or Tobacco etc but gambling is fair game, put a print of a tiger on your shorts for a no doubt 6 figure wedge of cash is a no brainer for the club, free money.

At this moment he is a whatever another team is willing to pay player, if and when the club gets a genuine bid then maybe we can discuss it, until then its all hypothetical made up BS.

All depends on who's wearing them

A decent enough top but as usual spoiled by a horrible sponsors logo and the least said about the tiger logo on the shorts the better. Changing shirts every other season is a nonsense far too much expense for people with kids etc.

Lets be honest Hastie wasn't that good a player he got his move on the strenght of a two or 3 month brilliant spell at Fir park which he never repeated. Rangers were naieve enogh to offer him a 4 year deal for ridiculous wages so nobody was turning that down. We all knew he would never get near the Rangers 1st team and in 4 years time he would be released into the wilderness of lower league football. If he'd stayed at Fir park would he have become a 1st team regular, for me no as he was average at best, so for me he made the right move and earned himself a good wedge of cash for basically contributing feck all.

Another goal for Eli Just last night against Belgium pity it was a 5-1 defeat, but hes done well over the 3 games.

Slattery wont be bothered what league they are in, its the no doubt vast increase in his wages thats the main attraction.

I have a spot in the garden earmarked already for the old seats Dave, Alison has still to sign off on them but they will be in place.😂

A few of my mates said that about Sligo " we will waIt for the next round" football aside they missed a great trip. However we are a very different team and playing in a style light years away from what Alexander served up so i think we will do well and progress to Q3

Their delusions know no bounds, they genuinely believe that as soon as the player pulls on a blue or a green and white strip it automatically adds 3 or 4 zeros to their value.

Quite a list, send it to Nick Daws in case he has missed any of them on his targets

Lets be honest as Motherwell fans we should think that every player who has played for the club since 1886 is the greatest. But as we know thats not strictly true, so it would probably be easier to list the dross we have seen over the years. The criteria would also be easier ie "they were feckin hopeless as footballers" being the only one.
