    POD Stand

    I'm sure Almondvale aka the Tony macaroni arena was built a lot cheaper than the "Lego" stands as you put it. That would be an ideal size for us.
  2. £1.4 million plus add ons is a brilliant bit of business for a player that cost us very little. So the final amount for Bair could be just about what Barmack wanted to invest over 6 years ffs
  3. It seems we might be getting more money for Bair than has previously been reported according to SK https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cnk4wdkv3zlo

    I reckon most people would not bother if we left Fir Park, as long as the new Stadium was easy to get to, had great facilities, some car parking adjacent to it and the Stadium was completely enclosed, like almondvale only better. Oh and it was not a generic 4 stands, open corners design.

    Totally agree Dave, it's long overdue an upgrade or replacement, my biggest gripes about it are seats covered in bird muck that never seem to get cleaned and the turnstiles that are about 50 or 60 years past their sell by date.
  7. A brilliant bit of business for us if it's true.
  8. Nobody is arguing with the concept of offside, it's the interpretation of it with the new technology that's the problem. Big toes, knees etc millimetres offside, that's impossible to judge if that was correct t when the ball was kicked, it's ruining the game and fan experience big time. Also if VAR is here to stay it should apply at all levels of professional football and not only top flight games, euro competition and internationals etc. It was sold as only being used for clear and obvious errors that the onfield officials missed etc and not the forensic examination of every goal, offside, possible penalty etc that we are seeing now looking for reasons to disallow them.
  9. You watch Love Island, 🤦‍♂️ok then.
  10. That's just as bad, Lukakus big toe nail deemed offside in Belgiums game the other week, how can that be 100% accurate to determine the position at the moment the ball was kicked. And if offsides are going to be judged in millimetres now then the beautiful game is truly fecked.
  11. My biggest gripe with VAR is that they now seem to be actively looking for reasons to disallow goals, yet they still spout the "we only get involved for clear and obvious errors " pish. Tell me how spending 3 or 4 mins looking at an incident from every angle, slow motion, frame by frame etc, and drawing fancy lines on a screen to register someone off side by millimetres, is clear and obvious. The whole set up is ruining the game and needs binned.
  12. I doubt we could afford his wages, another English Championship side or possibly EFL League 1 is a more likely destination.
  13. Here's hoping that's the case.
  14. I'd rather have him commenting than some of those used in the Euros, especially the women, and in particular the American one who seems to think she is an expert on VAR and tries to justify some of the ridiculous decisions we've seen this tournament.
  15. Watson and Miller should be playing in the senior squad instead of some of the dross Clarke selects.
  16. Another 2 goals from Ebiye tonight, it's 3-2 to Motherwell
  17. Less qualified than the current chairman and other board members given the amateur hour performance from them in recent weeks, that's a bold statement.
  18. We are currently 1-0 up in tonight's game away at Linlithgow Rose, Lennon Miller penalty.
  19. No doubt he has a good few million in the bank, so he must be good at something else other than bullshit.
  20. There will no doubt be a lot of long standing WS members who are not active on social media or don't want to be, have not read any of the proposals from either side and have no interest in doing so, these are the ones to worry about. They will either not bother to vote, or not get a chance as their contact details are wrong.
  21. More mainstream coverage https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cm52em9vkn4o
  22. From the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cy08exp197ro
  23. I take your point but for me I want to see players and managers who take the field wanting to win every game they play in, bounce games to cup finals etc, and any that don't should not be playing for the club.
  24. All the hard work going forward will be for the WS, as irrespective of the result of the vote it has to seriously up its game to respond to a yes or no vote if they have any hope of making true fan ownership work.
  25. Found this online , as Canada are through to the Copa America semi finals the Bair has earned us $144,000, (£112,404) nice wee bonus https://x.com/MikeLimaOne1/status/1809542222838136919?t=tAgMS9jsgIMXm2SLWGry7g&s=19
