Sorry I still think hes a big muppet.

Daily Record talking shite. That would cost us and St Mirren wouldnt let him go -- just yet.

Oh christ never in a million years , closest I ever came to chucking watching Motherwell was watching that wee arsehole spend fortunes - biggest operating budget outside the OF - and we struggled to get into the top six. Then when he got a lower budget the utter shite he assembled including his brother.

As long as thats all he gets a big donkey.

im going for the latter

Still fancy us to lose because the shite we have are not suddenly going to transform. I think we need 3/4 players to bolster this squad to see us to the point where we can safely punt most of the dross and there is plenty to punt. The less toxic atmosphere may help but Ive watched Motherwell for too many years to think differently.

a free doesnt mean we shouldnt be looking to win it but it does mean we are not under the intense pressure we would have been had GA stayed the atmosphere would have been utterly toxic , if we went a goal down it would be utter poison

As I read somewhere takes the pressure off on Sunday it is a free hit. Lose and its transition time , win and it happy days

I wouldnt necessarily say we are out but every one of the teams left is capable of putting us out.

Completely agree , McGuire is almost identical to Stuart Carswell always promising in the fans mind but never actually cut it.

Well if hes under contract we wont be giving him to them for nothing.

Watched a game on youtube last night from 1981 we beat Hearts 3-0 at Tynecastle. They had Pettigrew , Stewart McLaren and Peter Marinello in their ranks - all guys I loved at Motherwell so was a real needle match and there was me and my mate as young 19 years jumping up and down like head cases when we scored. Strange to see that as an auld fart now. Even better was to follow was last game of that season at Tynecastle if they won they were promoted with us if they lost they stayed down .. we beat them 1-0, loved that day.

I don't know that if put these as favourites but both were mental celebrations. Both strangely enough against Dunfermline. We played at East End Park were miles ahead at the top of the 1st Division but Andrew Waddell was the referee was being a pure cunt to us. Game was 0-0 Joe Wark injured and made him walk right round the track. Every decision going against us then in the 92 minute young Paul Mills scored the winner. Scenes of bedlam. The other was a tense relegation battle at Fir Park we were 2-0 down at half time them Stevie Cowan tuns in some performance and we win 3-2 again scenes of pure bedlam.

This has got to be the dullest close season on record. Every day goes by not a thing in the papers about us. I sincerely hope there plenty happening in private cos if you relied on the media / press youd think wed gone outta business LOL

Davie Cooper wasnt good enough for Rangers, Bobby Russell wasnt good enough for Rangers and Tommy Coyne wasnt good enough for Celtic. They were hardly disasters for us.

The original point was that Aberdeen and Hibs will better than last year so if they finish above 9th and10th they've been better than last year. If you take that £100 bet you are mad but no for me to tell folk what to do.

Paul McGinn wouldnt need to be particularly good to improve our pish defence. I cant believe folk are already rubbishing the guy when we basically watched utter pish last year and had the unenviable honour of the 3rd worst defensive record in the league. Would probably have been the worst had we not had Kelly.

Not for someone who thinks Aberdeen and Hibs won't be better next year. That was the entire point I can't for a minute believe they will be any worse than they were last year. If others are so confident they will be it's up to them to take the bet. An improvement is anything better than they did last year. That's all I said at the outset that they will be better than last year.

That wasn't the assumption the assumption was that neither would improve on their last year's finish. If you want to bet me Hibs won't finish above 9th or Aberdeen above 10th I'll happily wager you £100.

Based on the fact that Aberdeen and Hibs end up in those positions once in a blue moon. Their resources generally ensure they wont. They can buy better players than most so most seasons they will not occupy 9th and 10th spot. However if you wish to wager me £100 Aberdeen and Hibs will be lower than 8th next season I'll bite your hand off for that bet.

yeah but if 3 individual clubs improve and we stand still it can affect us. Who could actually go backwards from the shite of last season.

Its not true in your eyes its true in mine. Time will tell who is right

Couldnt agree more I wouldnt give those two a game in a Championship side. Ojala and Solholm look to absolute duffers too.

Aberdeen and Hibs will never be as bad again and I think Kilmarnock will be better than Dundee were so yes I do.

We only managed to finish 5th because the rest of the league were utterly pitiful and even worse than us . Never if my life have I seen week after week results go our way even when we fucked up week after week. That won't happen again. Aberdeen and Hibs will not be as bad next year. Kilmarnock will not stand still. The standard of our play last season was eye bleedingly bad. We had the 3rd worst defensive record in the league. I think we need 5 or 6 . If Spittal turns our to be the deal that obviously becomes 4/5
